HirstWhoScoredIt Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Last season boxes were £24K + VAT. This season £35K + VAT on wings Over £40K + VAT in centre. Most box holders have said no to renewing. On the back of the season ticket prices, have they misunderstood the Sheffield market place? Should they have spent money on players before the price hike? Not sure how this is going to play out.

Herb Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Sadly it's not a market I am in but I do agree with you, a price hike with no gaurantee of a better product and, I would assume, no drastic improvement of the facilities seems a bit bold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 That is a massive increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modboy Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 how much are they elsewhere, eg Leeds or United? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS5swfc Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) It depends if you are getting the same service it's outrageous but if we are making an actual attempt to improve the offer then fair enough. They are a luxury really aren't they you always have the cheaper option of a season ticket. Edited May 26, 2015 by CS5swfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG D Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Crikey! When do the top players start arriving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jowl Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 That does seem a huge increase if true, and I'd like to see how we compare to other northern championship clubs. I assume most boxes holders are fairly local companies ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevthelodgemoorowl Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) It'll be a bit like going to a new restaurant, I think we are seeing new horizons the most important thing in a box lease is the status. One thing that rich people hate is loss of status...All will be well It's £173-91 PPP match The market can stand this taking into account improvements on and off the pitch !

Guest wilyfox Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 What are the boxes like? What do you get for that obscene sum of money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Deleted member Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) A 26% increase is pretty ridiculous isn't it - and on the back of last season. West Brom - a box is £27k. Villa - £29k. Although you do get 4 games a season less Edited May 26, 2015 by Deleted member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eaton_Swfc Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 About £39,900 out of my price range that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jowl Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 A 26% increase is pretty ridiculous isn't it - and on the back of last season. Thats not what you said about the season tickets / Kids tickets. I hope we're still getting a box :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando_Trustful Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 What are the boxes like? What do you get for that obscene sum of money?Hopefully for that price some class A's and ladies of the night are included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HirstWhoScoredIt Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 What are the boxes like? What do you get for that obscene sum of money? A little tired but are apparently having a much overdue revamp this Summer. Basically you get 10 padded seats and a 3 course meal for 10 people for every league match. You pay for drinks and cup games on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevthelodgemoorowl Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Just a quick question when you take out a lease on a Box for a season does it include the cup matches ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark.flem Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Rediculous price rise. Majority of box holders are business people, some with no affinity to the club. 24k here or 13k at Lane, who's hospitality is supposed to be miles better than ours.
