pemz Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I think this is quite clever to be honest. Yes seems harsh at first as we are drawn to the higher end prices, Each match can be priced according to demand. If we are flying high then expect more cat A, B, C games. If we are struggling then tickets will be allocated Cat D, E, F (Tuesday night matches most likely G) Bristol City is first game of season - demand is always high. If the fixture against Bristol was in October it wouldn't be as high. Lets be honest imagine 5 games to go and we are in auto/playoff promotion race, or playing entertaining free-flowing attacking football - people will pay it no matter who the opposition. I can see why this structure is in place. Gives us the ability to adapt accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieB Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Good grief they are horrendous. We are going to see some poor crowds. Imagine if we are down the bottom, you're looking at 10/11k Not really as there's already 12/13k season ticket holders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think tank Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Total disgrace! Can't believe it is so expensive, I know it won't make a difference but I will be contacting the club, im coming down from Scotland for the first game of the season, was looking forward to a massive crowd, I really can't see it now. It's a real shame and completely the wrong decision, promoted to the Premiership then maybe, but the first goal should be to get the fans back through the turnstiles and build the fanbase back up. Shocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitechapel Owl Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I bet we'll only average about 16k this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Farrell Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) Oh dear. Our new owners first mistake. It had to happen sometime. Pretty big one though. Top tip. Fleece your loyal fans at your peril. Edited July 15, 2015 by Mr Farrell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torryowl Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 thank the lord i can only get to 4 or 5 games a season .......takes a lot for me to criticise the club but those prices are a disgrace . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evaD Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Believe me, not really, I've got my season ticket again, get a season ticket....stump up for the matchday ticket.....or shurrup moaning Yeah that's the spirit. Let's accept that watching our team has become unaffordable to much of our fan base. People have other commitments and not all supporters live in Sheffield, therefore a season ticket is often not a viable option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barton6435 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I blame FFP got to try and bring the money in somehow. It onlybhelps the big clubs and hinders the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Anybody want to go halves on a ticket for the Bristol game? We could watch a half each? PM if interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S36 OWL Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Luckily i went early with the season ticket , although i almost waited to see what calibre of player we were going to sign , but jumped it early doors. Thats saved me a fortune. Feel sorry for the walkups having to shell out those prices. They wiill defiantly effect attendances . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC3 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 What are these prices like compared to Leeds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 It's going to cost me roughly £40 more if I wanted to go to the first home game this year with my missus and son than it did last year.. That is ridiculous. We have a number of fans who have other costs to factor into their trip. For me, a trip up from Hampshire with the family is incredibly expensive. Hiking the prices up by that much is just crazy. I can make 6-8 home games at a push each season. Now it's looking a lot more appealing to just take in all the Southern/Midland away games. Hopefully the majority of games will fall into the lower categories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangeroustom Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Wow! And they wanted the stadium filling! Lose a game or two people aren't going to pay to watch rubbish at those prices, it's painful enough at old prices. I'm really hoping they have a big signing or two up their sleeves to kind of justify these! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeroswfc Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) From Cat E to A the prices are shocking. But that's what you get when your making big money transfers. Edited July 15, 2015 by aeroswfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S25OWL Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) OMG i have 4 season tickets and if anyone of us couldn't attend (because of work, in hospital, etc,) then I would find a senior citizen who was paying on the day and take them in for free rather than it go to waste. It was really rewarding to see the look on their face .......and it felt good to do something nice ... although the football let us down at times. My only worry now is there will be no-one waiting at the gate to pay and they will go to waste ! Or they will be fighting for the free ticket ! (Glad I renewed in Phase 1) Edited July 15, 2015 by S25OWL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cersei Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 If you were on minimum wage you would be spending ten per cent of your take home income potentially on a sat and tues game in a four day period. Not including anything but the ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
