HirstWhoScoredIt Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 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 It is a 46% increase on wings. 66% increase in centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Deleted member 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 ? I think last season it included 1st round of Carling and FA - assuming they were at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ellis Rimmer Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I'm renewing mine begrudgingly. I do expect significant investment in the playing squad or I will not be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HirstWhoScoredIt Posted May 26, 2015 Author 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 ? Last season you got the first FA Cup match and first League cup match included. This season you get no cup matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jowl Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 How much to rent at box at Hillsborough to use just when Wednesday are away? Better entertainment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Deleted member Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 It is a 46% increase on wings. 66% increase in centre. Yes. I worked it out wrong! Funnil;y enough, HMRC are coming to see me Thursday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wilyfox Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 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. So basically, 10 season tickets and 230 three-course dinners...for 40 grand? Ouch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jowl Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 maybe the % increase is to make 3rd phase season ticket prices look attractive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy owl Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Whats wrong with getting 10 season tickets north for about 8000 and using rest of money on a pie and drink each match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorian gray Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 What are the boxes like? What do you get for that obscene sum of money? total football... or more like total dross last term... if the price reflects the amount of excitement last term... then maybe this term we're having WAY MORE EXCITEMENT...

darra 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. This is what the Toronto Blue jays offer for $100,000 which is around £50,000 sort of puts oursin perspective http://toronto.bluejays.mlb.com/tor/ticketing/luxury_suites.jsp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southportdc Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Hmm. Not sure what this is from. Maybe we were lagging behind a bit in terms of income, but smashing prices so high nobody pays won't really help that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 We could do with a big signing now to show that the prices are worth it. Or you serving the drinks wearing a playboy bunny outfit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IstillhateSteveBould Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Surely anything other than significant investment in the team is inexcusable now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogbad Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 So basically, 10 season tickets and 230 three-course dinners...for 40 grand? Ouch! Seems very steep, 10 second phase season tickets in the north would cost £6,000. So your basically paying £34,000 for some nosh & a padded seat for 10 people.

Guest Distraught! 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. No brainer Businesses generally use boxes to entertain clients. Inviting your number one customer to a game against Rochdale or Gillingham isn't going to go down well, is it?

dorian gray Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 SERIOUSLY, if you didn't have a box last term, or were plannin' to get one this... i can't really see it botherin' you... yes prices ARE going up big style... season tickets, half season tickets, and on the day gate prices are going to have to go up to fund this REALISTIC shot at the premier... you can't expect chansiri to fund the whole venture, and... with our floating support wycombe/hartlepool (play off) the vast prices MAY mean YOU have to go less for the amount of money you want to spend... BUT IF we're playing TOP OF THE TABLE FOOTBALL then it's likely someone who didn't go to the last game will take you place... 22,000@ £32/33 average??? as a football fan, you'll not like the look of it, BUT as a businessman chansiri will...
