JackSWFC Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Amazed that some fans are surprised by the ticket prices, given the fact that the season ticket prices are the same as last years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the increase in the membership meaning the 10-12 games i attend each year will now have no benefit of, I don't buy the membership so I can buy the crap they sell in the store, I buy it to get £5 off each game. I may well not be attending 10 this year the same goes for the 5 people I go with. We instead shall take the £100 we spend each match day on tickets, food, drink and crap merchandise and spend it elsewhere. We the fans need to stand as one with this, This man is taking the wee wee out of us all and the longer we put up with it the more the prices will increase. He has taken a family club and milked us all to pay for the fact he does not have a clue what he is doing. If you are spending £1200 attending 12 games just buy a season ticket for the North at £555, cut down on the crap merchandise and watch all 23 in comfort mate. Still leaves you £28 for beer and food each game.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG D Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I think he should totally slash the prices because then we would really challenge. 8 minutes ago, KivoOwl said: Put it this way, fans are owed promotion this season.

torres Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 These prices are a disgrace - i'm almost ashamed of the club . . . BUT at £20.00 a ticket for the Bolton game last season around 2000 non season ticket holders turned up. Has DC just gone - well i might as well fleece the few that come, if they won't turn up at £20.00 i'm not losing out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team that beat us in the play-offs and ended up in the Premier League. £149 for a season ticket in most adult cases. But Huddersfield have a shirt sponsorship deal that bring in £1.5m a season, their stadium is the John Smith's stadium with a sponsorship deal and they have advertising both in and outside the ground which does not have their chairman's name on it. They also sell their corporate boxes for £20,000+ vat rising to £25,000 +vat to watch Premiership football and presumably they make money at those prices and every single one is sold out each and every season. So Huddersfield are bring in at least £3m+ more in none ripping off fans money, that our well run club doesn't because we have London premiership prices for Northern Championship football.

Just like how people can't wait to stick up for the guy no matter what he does. And yes we are owed promotion. We pay extortionate prices - it's about time we were rewarded for it.

And again the season ticket prices are fine. You do realise if you want to go the men’s final at wimbledon it will cost you more than a first round on one of the minor courts. Bigger games are always ways going to be more expensive. All West Brom's home games are £20 no categories !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I did it for the love of my team. I have just had enough of this - the fans are being bled dry will the same crap we had last season not playing, is the same crap we will have this season not playing and the only plan by the club is not to get rid of over paid under performing players instead we shall keep paying them the £20,000, £30,000 they are on and at the end of the season they will be out of contract. DC could not organise a wee wee up in a brewery and he clearly does not have a clue how to manage and run a football team. the fans are your lifeblood when you don't have the Premiership cash and now the numbers at games will get less and less and the kids they take with them instead of growing up owls will grow up Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea fans and what DC has done to our once great club will affect us for the next 10-15 years. What will be DC answer to get them back, he does have one instead he will raise prices again so those paying can pay even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If those that turned up now and again have got out of the habit of going because of the sky high prices (or for other reasons) they may not even know when there's an offer on or more worryingly might not want to go at all.
