In terms of price. You’re complaining about something that hasn’t even happened! Ok ..I reckon Sunderland at home will be Cat A...even if Sunderland are rock bottom...Lets wait and see... Chansiri has to get fans back to Hillsborough...fans like me are irrelevent...I buy a season ticket every year...whatever division, but he has p*ssed off legions and the is unlikely to get them back without sacrificing season ticket holders like myself and getting fans through the gate...this hasn't gone far enough to do that in my opinion.... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also we couldn't exactly make them dearer having gone down a division could we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the new ticket prices will give the people that think you can still get in for £4.50 like in 1986 something to moan about. £4.50 was disgusting in 1986. Ripoff. Was one shilling (5p) to go on T'Kop when I started in 1958. And that was overmuch then. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations you’ve just grasped basic economics. If we’re rock bottom, Sunderland/Lincoln/Donny/Rotherham will also be charging top whack. It’s simple supply and demand I’d be more pissed off if Chansiri made it a Cat D game tbh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basement Jack Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Football is a massively overpriced pass time where just about all clubs tap into the loyalty of the fans knowing they will cough up whatever Those prices are what I expected It still ain’t cheap but they are not as bad as they could have been Glad there is a bit more incentive to get the kids in. They are the ones we need in after the damage of the last few years 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleSeven Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I’ve had a good look and overall think prices are just about OK. Season tickets are still more favourable but the POTD prices shouldn’t put off people who might want to catch a few games if we are doing well. Pricing for kids to go is decent and as long as there is a fair spread of games over the tiers then it doesn’t feel like things are crazy expensive, particularly for the Kop and North. I go on the south because I’m posh and don’t like too much noise. But my teenage lads have had a look and said they would fancy getting themselves on the Kop for a few games at the prices offered. The main determining factor of wether it’s good value or not is the quality of the football. If it’s absolutely dire then the prices are a rip off. If we are doing Ok and are decent to watch then they will seem fair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might encourage a bigger walk up from casual fans and would help with the younger generation. Now I'm aware kids season tickets are cheap. But let's remember. Not everyone can or will make use of a season ticket due to other commitments. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main problem is we will probably be getting beaten by Cheltenham Town whereas Bramal Lanes residents will probably be watching them around the top two all season and maybe prem again the season after. It’s the awfulness of the football that ultimately is killing the club. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s all about what I’m getting for the money that bothers me. Getting hammered 3-0 by Shrewsbury at £5 would feel expensive. Us battering Sunderland 4-0 would be worth every pound of £32. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm absolutely certain my sentiments won't be held by every season ticket holder mate.....Nor do I hold any affiliation to a bloody garage but I do through generations hold an affiliation to Sheffield Wednesday football club...I see it as a family...and I see some of that family as disenfrancised by the chairman of that club....I would happily sit next to a member of that "family"...irrespective of the price paid. Its called philanthropy....I have been through several years of not being able to afford what I more or less see as a right of passage to watch Sheffield Wednesday if you want to..I will never forget my 3 years in the wilderness...Even to the point of sitting outside the ground and popping in to watch the last 15 minutes regardless of the score.

TheSlicer Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 It should be £25 per ticket everywhere in the ground. Simple as that. Odd game at £10 an adult £1 a child. £32 is ludicrous. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danblakemore Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Should be family tickets, a bit more inventiveness… ‘friend of a season ticket’ price ‘pay as you go’ season ticket vouchers ’night match’ specials ’ticket, pie and a pint’ offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eightbelow Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Do we still have the same clown of a Chairman? Doesn't matter what the prices are as long as he is running the club. My assumption is that if the team start getting a few results and is in and around the play off places then more games will become category A so he can rinse a few more quid out of the customers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
