RockieOwl Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I don't think the membership price is that bad. I moaned about the price of tickets last year and I am surprised at the prices again this year. And disappointed. I had assumed they would put the cat b price from last year as the top price. But I still don't think membership is too bad. I eventually bought a membership last year after the arsenal match gave an £8 discount but the biggest advantage was the wembley ticket priority. It's for that reason I'll be buying a membership again. I'll probably be neutral in terms of money as I reckon I will attend anywhere in between 8-12 matches and that's after me not being able to go to the first 4 home matches. Its also no way guaranteed we'll go to wembley again but I think paying for priority is worth it. The 10 pound for some matches looks a nice touch at first glance but only good if you can attend those. For example I won't be going to the villa match. I think this maybe to milk away fans more who have big followings as they will have to pay more. Villa paying 42. Surprised not doing for Leeds as well but will likely do it for Newcastle and maybe local matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can make 6 games a season and was going to buy the membership this season to 1) guarantee a potential Wembley ticket if I decide to go and 2) out some money into the Club. I wouldn't make the £30 back, let alone £50. I joined the Owls Foundation a couple of months ago to 1) help the academy and 2) it might be a priority category again for any future Wembley ticket. At £30 I'd have signed up to membership, but not a chance am I paying that sort of increase. Dreadful decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the membership fee was increased by £20 for the FULL SEASON ! Didn't realise that they were charging you £20 pounds extra every time your attended a game.

You dont understand. ok let me explain. A - in 2015 £30 bought you a members card. This entitles you to absolutely nothing whatsoever, unless you buy something like say a ticket. B - in 2016 £50 will buy you a members card. This entitles you to absolutely nothing whatsoever, unless you buy something like say a ticket. Difference between A and B.... around 66% Season tickets however cost 500, This gets you to watch football increase it to 520 and its a 4% rise and you still get to watch all the football or you could go to t'lane or get a job or move or some other things. keep up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money wise. Probably is. After 5 games you save a fiver but get a free ticket. But it's the blades in pub league. The value us at Hillsborough. Two seasons ago membership was £20 but the saving of a match ticket was only £2. Same scenario here then that you need to go to 10 matches to break even. Except this time some matches you get a tenner off so it is likely to be less than 10 matches to draw even. It's the priority you're paying for as well. Still don't like the actual match day prices tho. Looked at derby at start of last season mainly for tickets because their prices are much more reasonable. However the membership not so much in financial terms. They didn't get much discount. The membership is basically a bit of a discount but foremost priority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellybean Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I think the main problem now is that you now have to go to eight or nine games for it to be worth it which is another hundred pound in tickets rather than the previous six. I personally expected a five or ten pound rise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, you tell me. I would say it's worse, you get to go t'Lane. They're also a division lower and quite a distance from us on the pitch and in terms of progression. They're attempting to cash in as their product is shittier than ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep up. Sorry, even more confused now! Where in your explanation do you refer to your complaint of the membership increase adding £20 per trip to your costs. Furthermore, who in their right mind would have paid £30 for membership and then never bought a ticket ? And,again, surely no one would pay £50 for membership unless they were intending to buy match tickets.. Also why should I go to t'lane, I'm not the one complaining about membership increase. I'm afraid I find it impossible keep up. Maybe I'm a bit thick but I find it impossible to follow your logic. Oh! just a minute, I've just seen where you live! That explains it!

I'm not deluded at all and I won't be buying one but I think DC has seen this as another reason to up the price. If we get to the final again i'll be in the corporate as I had such a good time there this year. I was only pointing out your error so there's no need to get nasty.
