There's already the membership saving of £5 a game, so there are ways to get a reasonable match day price. And I have full sympathy for those who can't afford or justify either the season ticket or membership. The POTG rates are very unreasonable. I don't think they should be a discount for POTD, but think the club should release what categories each game will be given at the start of the season. For those who can't afford/unwilling to pay for cat A games will aleast be able to plan when to attend a cat e/f/g game. Plus it would help members determine whether a £50 membership is worth it. Thirdly it would allow all to work out the actual POTD price average which would likely stop many banging on about tickets costing 47 quid. I guess though the club is unwilling to do this, as the whole point of having some many categories is to determine the prices based on results and therefore perceived demand. Just a thought DC.

Also, not many of the 'disgruntled n thoroughly shafted brigade' are "screaming" for big name signings as you put it - those of us who have this issue are actually quite level headed and know how economies of scale, increased expenditure versus income works... I for one wouldn't be crestfallen to see us go back to mid table Championship but more affordable for all, as I thought we saw ourselves as a 'Family, Community & Inclusive' club, even recently? Then wait for that one season fluke that we get up but then again, I've also never hugely understood the clamour for the Premiership anyway, due to how it's all panned out. I love football as a game, not the visiting the top PL sides to send a selfie to all and sundry that I've been to the best sides... sometimes, football is more than just the opposition. When you highlighted Ben's point about"stick to the back teeth", did you really not think of black jacks and fruit salads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea, Arsenal, Man U, Man city etc will all receive similar amounts of money in terms of sponsorship in comparison to Bayern. They also receive far more in terms of TV revenue, however they're still rinsing fans dry with extautionate ticket prices why? Because everyone else is doing so and football is no longer about the fans in this country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for £150 is not a lot well that is relative isn't it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Past Member Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 18 hours ago, robster_owl said: Not strictly true, as my own matrix earlier in the thread of how many games I need to attend, before I am actually seeing a positive upward trend in the offset of the £50 membership fee, is 11 games onwards. This will be the same for whoever, however many they come / bring with them, in that anybody not able to even see the Membership as fitting to their lifestyle, life situation etc, CANNOT make a benefit from it if 10 games or under. (5 for Juniors like with my 6 yr old). So the one's who can attend say 11 - 15 this season, are that bit better off offer wise. Also there is talk of something similar to a half ST or something, with somewhere in the region of 10 games if memory serves me correct and was mentioned at the Steering evening. Again the higher # attending POTG'ers with a Membership will probably find that a better option, if it actually comes to fruition. It still always points back to the Non Feasible ST and Non Feasible Membership POTG'ers who for whatever reason, adding that they should NOT ever have to justify to no ****er as to why it's not feasible for them; are the one's utterly shafted by this whole ticket pricing strategy. I, we and they have a right to feel totally trodden on by the club, thrown to the kerb and utterly ignored - even when the idiots were designing this inclusive to all past, present and future SWFC Supporters... the more I write about it, the more than enough still don't seem to be able to see the real issue and the more that I realise it's actually downright disgusting behaviour of the club for this section of it's fan base. My point was Robster, that for fans who only ever want to attend 2-3 high profiles games a season, the price is less relevant (if prices are £10 over what they should be), the this customer is only getting fleeced 20-30 all season (no biggy, like me buying a concert ticket) The over priced tickets hit those large sections of fans who can only/want to attend 10-15 games a season. This are the fans that are paying £100-£150 too much. I feel sympathy for the 10-15 game lot, not too bothered about the former lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cersei Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I have literally just logged onto the OS to see if the ticket prices have been announced as I am out the loop.... You have to be kidding me, I can't even articulate my thoughts on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
