He actually said he could afford it. Thats why i asked what you were disagreeing with? .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 With the multi year season tickets that have been sold we are stuck with these prices for net few years. I don't like it at all but Chansiri should at least run the club properly in return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been shown time and again cheap tickets don’t mean big crowds. The one time they did it on a Saturday the opposite was proved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But possibly the daftest thing I’ve read on owlstalk is “ I would go if it was £25 but I’m not paying £28”. £28 is quite reasonable, but I’m sure there will be excuses trotted out as to why people can’t go. Ok, for someone like me who isn’t a member it’s £33 minimum. Two of my mates have a season ticket on the loo. I haven’t been this season, barely last season for one reason or another. I fancied the Wolves game as it was a tenner but they weren’t going. Mentioned the Ipswich game but only was was going so gave it a miss. So I’ve been kinda itching to go. Opened this thread thinking hmm, If it’s £20-£25 I’ll drop em a message and go with them. At £33 the club can suck my **** It’s a midweek match, so less attractive for numerous reasons. Vs West Brom (doesn’t matter who we play to me, but does to some). Instead I can watch it in a nice warm home, with my feet up, maybe a beer. I’m saving £50 minimum by staying in. I could be wrong but I’d assume there are hundreds if not thousands who feel similar to me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still cheaper than the fans on the North and South are paying to watch the same game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

room0035 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Sheffield Wednesday are in trouble with FFP and need an extra source of income If they sold tickets for £25 a game for every 1,000 fans that would be £25,000 a game over the remaining home games this season that 20 games that would be £500,000 so for every 1,000 tickets they sold at £25 they would get 1/2m in additional revenue in. Instead we price the ticket at £33 to £39 a barely anyone turns up. The midweek attendance will be 22,000 - 25,000 so that leave at least 10,000 empty seats (account for SAG/SYP restrictions), even if these were sold at just £25 a seat thats potentially £5m additional turnover this season. Yes this is cheaper than season tickets for some, or cheaper than other are paying but the simple fact of the matter is we need additional income, this can only come from 3 source the fans, sponsorship/corporate or the sale of players. We don't sell players, the chairman is asking for silly money for sponsorship/corporate packages and we are pricing the walk up fans out of going to the games something has to change or next season and the one after, we will once again be under embargo's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right ok @JAMES O CONNOR I believe probably lives nearer the city ground than Hillsborough. Midweek game which can be accessed through the red button on sky. Ridiculously overpriced ticket prices , cheapest £28 if you purchase a £50 membership seriously WTF? While we're asking questions here's a couple for you Willow. 1. If Chansiri continues with the aggressive POTG pricing policy where will the next generation of wednesdayites come from? 2.

Offside_Owl Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 It does not matter if the game is £20, £25 or £33. It's a midweek game live on Sky. There will be very little walk up interest in the game. The club won't make more money by charging less on a game like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you a club employee? You still havent answered me. I asked JOC a couple of questions and you disagreed. Surely you disagree with answers or opinions, not the actual question? I'm also pretty sure he can answer for himself. I also said i preferred to put money into my own club rather than anyone elses, is that what you disagree with? You have then gone on a rant about ticket pricing and membership as though i agree with current pricing. If you care to look back at some of my previous posts you will find i disagree with current potg pricing. In answer to questions : 1- current season ticket prices for junior and under 21's are as competitive as most in this league. 2- no i dont work for the club, why do you ask.

Don't disagree at all with the prices in you're answer What about prices for adults for a midweek game that can be watched on sky I asked the second question because of you're stance whenever the club is questioned about anything Mind you you're certainly not alone with that one.

For example @Willow Owl you negged this "It's £33 ffs , only £28 if you have forked out £50 for a membership , that's on the Kop. Either way to it's too much for a game that is live on sky !" If you disagree with POTG prices I don't see why you would neg that other than objecting to the grammar. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
