Tommy Crawshaw Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 If they want 5 categories, why not just A to E instead of a stupid A and A*. Just too add more confusion to the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the point Everyone and everyting is being impacted by Brexit and the cost of living crisis Clubs will have increased bills so shouldn't be expected to drop their prices But it remains to be seen how it impacts football fans My guess is if you've got a season ticket then you'll be ok as you'll have paid it off in advance etc Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hopevalleyowl Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Roughly £25-30 to watch Sheffield Wednesday in a league game at Hillsborough is not expensive for 2022. Seriously have a look at the match day pricing from 10, 15, 20 years ago and you’ll see that they have barely moved, coupled with kids getting in for almost nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essentially we have 15,000 empty seats because our capacity is too big for our regularly attending fanbase. We could give them away for nowt and within three or games it would be the same fans turning up that are purchasing season tickets every season. The penny should have dropped by now whilst we are out of top flight and for a few games when we're in it, 25k home seats is plenty. Even giving away 10-15,000 every game will still generate income, as they will buy food, drink and merchandise at the ground. and the atmosphere may well spur the team on. But we will adopt your policy and give it 5-10 years and 12-15,000 gates will be the norm. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many things we haven’t got right as a club but pricing is in my view absolutely bang on when considering the market (rough average £50 premier league, £30 championship, £25 league one) By my reckoning I think the average match day price at Hillsborough has gone up roughly £5 in 10 odd years (had a season ticket for over 15 years but remember buying tickets for uni mates in 2007 for £26 on the North) which is madness when considering inflation We are competing again teams locally in higher leagues charging less. Dont kid yourself this is value for money its only £25-30 if we get promoted the prices will be back up nearer £35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
