That makes some people angry. As for a ticket price freeze - what matters is the balance of categories. All we know for now is the maximum price hasn't changed. He should have reported personal abuse he received. However lets not paint him as a saint as he was very self righteous and condescending in his views and simply didn't want to listen to any counter arguments. And why not stay about and debate in other threads.. Unless you only want to use this site to attack the club on one issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take the point that no matter what the price some people would always say its too much. Also I can see the argument on ticket prices that if you don't like the price then don't pay it. But football clubs do exploit peoples loyalty. You can always change your favourite pint from Carling to John Smiths depending on price but you wont change football clubs. Also I have seen a satisfactory explanation why Sheffield Wednesday are more expensive then clubs like Derby, Forest, Wolves all a similar size to Wednesday and none have parachute payments.

Westfield Owl Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 For the third season in a row our fans will be paying Champions League prices for second tier football. Thats the reality, regardless of whatever spin you try and put on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upperwinngardensowl Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 As others have said, this means absolutely nothing due to the massive price difference between the lowest category (expensive) and the highest category (insanely expensive) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a fair response to my response ! (except, how can anyones favourite pint be Carling ? Or John Smiths for that matter. I agree that clubs exploit their captive audience, and I'd love our club to follow the example of Huddersfield should we get promoted. For now though, I trust Mr. Chansiri to act in the best interests of the club and try and keep the club solvent. I also trust him to reward the fans who have stuck by the club in the last 20 (mostly) dismal years . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But can I just point out that the majority of our attendances last season were from ST holders (circa 20k). The ST prices are good value imo. That said away fans and walk up fans could be charged some silly money. Anyone know how many games were classed as cat a & b last season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our season ticket prices are amongst the highest in the Championship. The reason the ST prices are perceived to be good value (and one of the main reasons why we have sold so many ST in my opinion) is because the POTG prices are an absolute rip-off. I have a ST for next season, even though I know there is a strong chance that I could miss 5-6 games next season due to work commitments. If I didn't have a season ticket, I would not be attending any league games priced at £30 or more; there's no justification for paying those prices IMO, even though I could afford to.

WaikanaeOwl Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I'm personally critical of the pricing. I know we don't give a fig for away fans but £49 for Cat A is not good. I don't want to see away fans priced out. I'd prefer a good atmosphere and away fans help that naturally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
