I can remember when they went until the end of June. With the price going up and you having a chance of losing your seat after that date. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many other clubs have even put their 2022/23 season tickets on sale yet? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to give us a little back. An odd odd definition of giving back. They clearly could have given fans more time to renew. And those who scrimped and saved in Dec to be able to afford one, those that took on finance, could have waited a little longer and taken the pressure off a little. Whole thing has been a mess. And still no explanation as to why the burden is being put on supporters shoulders…again. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could afford it before xmas but chose not to out of principle. I'm now thinking I might not bother at all because I won't be getting a good deal anymore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usual club apologists on Owlstalk aside, there can't be many who thought this would be a success. I think it's time for Wednesday to start looking at a more radical way of thinking when it comes to ST's - and by that I don't mean flogging them in 10 years at a time to get all the money upfront. We have a 33,000 all seater stadium. Maybe it's time to start pricing ST's aggressively to fill as much of that as possible, instead of relying on getting what they can out of the same 12,000 or so and relying on walk ups and away fans for the rest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleSeven Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I’m not confused by what the club has done (just rolled over the pricing from the last phase of the ‘early bird’ pricing). However, I haven’t got a clue as to why they have done it! What ‘upside’ has been gained by offering the tickets in the way they have? It’s definitely annoying but at this stage pretty much everything the club does is both baffling and annoying. FFS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I can see from the club’s point of view is we were desperate for the cash in December and now we need the money again in January 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I went in club shop just before Xmas to pick a shirt up, asked the lass on tills if she knew if many had renewed and she said a lot more than expected What they were expecting though who knows, dunno how anyone could claim ‘shockingly’ low without knowing what it was the clubs expectations were ? I’ve asked around a few people who tend to know a few bits here and there and nobody seemed to really know what the club was expecting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
