TrickyTrev Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 As fans are being forced to roll over their season tickets for this year into next, it did get me thinking as to how our season ticket prices compare to those of other third division clubs in the past. Its very difficult to get overall figures from every year but as prices will most probably be higher in recent years than say 10 years ago, I had a quick look at the most recent years and the highest I could find was Charlton at £500. This would mean that the early bird season ticket prices of £640 on the South Stand and £555 on the North Stand, COULD be record highest ticket prices every charged by a club at that level by some distance. I am of course happy to be corrected if anyone can find data that I’ve missed but this really is a disgrace and another example of how fans have been taken for granted by our chairman, especially considering the continued investment into the team we were promised in return for such high ticket prices. The knock on affect of these high season ticket prices will also mean sky high pay on the day prices for that level of football and mean an empty away end and the only fans who will show up for the majority of the matches will be existing season ticket holders. This will also most probably result in a fall in match day income. What a mess. https://www.statista.com/statistics/538189/most-expensive-season-ticket-prices-league-one-by-club-england-uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Starling Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Contractually I bought a season ticket for Championship football not League 1. I will not be paying Premier League prices for League 1 football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked but sadly for myself I bought mine on my debit card, meaning if I didn’t claim it back within 120 days I’m stuck with it. I’m really angry about it to be honest, these prices are absolutely ridiculous for third division football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if you could argue that as the season is still in session that technically you are still within the 120 days as when you purchased your ticket the period from purchase to the season starting was greater than 120 days. I can see now why credit card companies wont allow you to buy a multi season ticket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tea Baggins Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Seriously we need to cut our cloth accordingly. Not a chance I am getting another season ticket if they cost over £345 as POTG should be £20 a match for L1 Meaning the perk for buying a ST should equal £15 a match. I consider that fair and would accept the drop in playing personnel to achieve that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheffield_dave Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I know it’s different for those embroiled in this years ticket disputes, but for everyone else the message is simple. Do. Not. Pay. It. The ticket prices should be subject to intense scrutiny even if by some miracle we’re still a Championship club next year. For League One football? Have some self respect for yourself as a customer - as Mr Chansiri regards you - and draw the line. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They too had foreign owners who bled them dry and controlled all aspects (ring any bells). This is where this open approach came from. The average fan can see everything, transparency is key hence so is the supporter buy in, inclusion and understanding. Regarding that approach, I would much rather see that than what we have in cloak and dagger and North Korea style dictatorship, even if it means reduced standards regarding profile of players coming in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighworthOwl Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 We all know his ticketing pricing structure is a farce but relegation will highlight just how ridiculous it is. 3 year season ticket deals mean he will be backed into a corner for how low he can go with POTG. Those numbers will dry up dramatically. The habit being broken (covid) and lack of refunds will also drive people away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
