They are going to be pro rata with the full S/T prices (non early bird). In fact, I don't see how the Club can now adjust the pricing - once they’ve sold S/T’s in advance. The Club aren’t going to stop offering them - just because the performances on the pitch are poor. Your right the club aren't going to stop offering them- many fans just aren't going to buy them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this isn’t one of them. It’s a non story really. The damage has already been done. I can’t really see how the Club can change it - other than upset existing season ticket holders. And, if that means no one buys them - so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodness knows - having sold S/T’s in advance, how the Club would price S/T’s in the event of a relegation. They can’t exactly do “year to year” pricing now they’ve taken advanced receipts. The prices were all geared on ongoing success. Including POTG. Edited December 7, 2018 by ReadingOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been interested in what anyone else earns - good luck to them. Ever listened to a phone in on Teachers Pensions and holidays? Most people don’t take such a reasoned and mature view unfortunately. Im 60 next spring - but used to work in the Tail Gate Rip - which means I’m actually 87. (Mine Workers Pension day today, coincidentally - every 28 days, 13 a year). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never going to happen - I don’t blame the Club for that. For the original pricing - yes. But not now. The die is cast - he’s no room for manoeuvre.

The Chairman has backed himself into a corner over pricing and I think even if the ground were empty he'd refuse to back down. Just look at the empty corporate boxes. This lad nailed it. Much before me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flo Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I'm going to set up a business where I buy season tickets then sell each half of the season and rake in the profits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club is going to suffer as a result, because the multi year ST money is long gone , and we have no POTD income . Utterly stupid idea selling multi year tickets in the first place. It was done for a short term injection of cash , but now we will suffer for it. Edited December 7, 2018 by S36 OWL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthefish2002 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I am a season ticket holder and wouldnt moan if half season ticket prices ot POTG prices were brought down a little. But like others have said I dont think this is likely. Chansiri got loads of criticism over prices (rightly so) and think he would see it as losing face to lower them after spending time defending high prices.

Mystic Neg Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 This is what frustrates me more than our performances. The complete ineptitude of our chairman running this football club has caused the current state of performance on the pitch. Id write it all down as to why but I don't want to ruin my weekend. He and his staff are completely and utterly delusional. Slash prices by at least a third, sell more tickets as a result, get more of a crowd down to Hillsborough, build a more sustainable level of support for the future. This club is only going one way and the fact he can't see that is a tragedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put it this way - everyone remembers Thatchers death/day. They got the wrong person IMO. Seriously, but that’s for another day/thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that go down as selling under false pretences because it certainly don't sit right with me And before anyone from club sharpens there pencils it was a question Thats a good point. That survey was strange when the Club must have known an embargo was on the cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
