Cersei Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 With the discord it caused with fans last season, the fact the game is on sky and the fact it's south yorks in a period of unstable economy. You will never be able to convince me that 45 quid is a sensible price for a ticket. I was really hoping they would see sense this season after the success of the back end of last season. It's a South Yorkshire football team who has been out the top flight for over 15 years, with a squad that on paper should finish 9th-5th. I'm amazed at the lack of vitriol against it.

Cersei Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I don't think we do. I imagine after last season the POTG crew have been split into 3 factions. Converted to ST buyers Peed off and not going unless it's the perfect circumstance, such as boxing day and all your family and friends are in no matter what price etc. Will stump up £30-50 a few times a season instead of £20-30 as it's affordable It's just incredible how expensive it's jumped too - I've gone past annoyed to amazed. £49 on the South, double what I paid for the opener in 2010.

nevthelodgemoorowl Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 In my 60 years of watching the owls I've lost count of the times it has been uttered "Wouldn't mind paying a bit more if the money went on the pitch" Well, the players are here and I'm sure that we'll see gates well up this season. If we do nearly as well as we did last year I expect members and season tickets to go in a similar direction next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I know watching professional football is not a cheap hobby, I can accept that. But the thing I cant get my head round is why we are so expensive, especially in an area like Sheffield. If is was say £28 on the Kop and £33 on the sides then I can just about understand its expensive but that's the going rate these days. But £42 on the Kop and £49 (yes £49!!!!!!) on the South Stand is daylight robbery. I am embarrassed when family or workmates ask me how much it is for the first game.

Why not release the categories for the season now, so people can pick and choose their games, and save some money? What's wrong with a 20% discount if booked 3 months in advance? 10% 2 months in advance and full price a month from the game?? About the only decent post in the whole tread. It's done in most industries where you can book in advance and so is a proven mode of getting bums on seats. Allows those who Can't, Don't want to attend all games (for whatever reason) to give their support to the club in advance and get some benefit from doing so.

It may change once the season starts but the POTD prices (plus the posts on here from those that justify them) mean I have no intention of going to any upcoming home games But would pay £90 to go to Wembley shambles mate.

There's a massive difference between a one off game at Wembley, and the first home game of the season which is live on TV. £42 to watch villa at home...it was cheaper to go to Wembley.

s110wl Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 My take on this is: 1). Any tickets priced above 40£ is far too much for championship football 2). However, hard to tell at the moment how POTG will pan out as we don't know categories for all games. 3). Personally think that if POTG for 10 random games works out at circa 30£ per game (for an adult) - with a membership - that seems fair enough. I reckon it was probably not far off this last year. 4). At 30£ (average) for an adult, and 10£ for a kid, that's not unreasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cersei Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 A lot of people will say I wouldn't go anyway but I've not missed an opener in 24 years - I'm not paying that much. Way past being annoyed, just disappointed now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some tickets were cheaper for Wembley then there are for our Kop! Wembley was a one off. Like saying why don't you spend £500 every day on your kids, well you did on Xmas day.

I would rather see Hillsborough packed to the rafters every game. Hate the thought of fans being priced out. I also think all fans should not only show empathy but be very cautious that Season Ticket prices could easily sky rocket in the next few seasons. Season ticket prices WILL rocket when we get to the premier league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
