paulrs Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 I don’t like all the phases and categories but as a very general rule I’m loathe to pay above £40 even for the best seats for the biggest game. If it was £40 to POTG in the south to watch, say, Leeds and every other price was calibrated based on that, I could cope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlinexile Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 To be honest I don't really even care what he changes the prices to any more. I just want him gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TamworthWednesdayite Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Further to my previous message in this thread I would propose something like this to achieve a similar total revenue income; 16k early birds at £500 a season ticket = £8m = £21.74 a game 1k latecomers at £525 a season ticket = £0.525m - £22.83 a game 8k avge POTG at £32 / game = £5.888m Total revenue = £14.413m You can have some category prices for POTG (maybe limit to 3 categories) and some season ticket price diffs for seating in different areas of course. And I get that 16k early birds might reduce to say 15k. But people would then likely become a latecomer or a POTG. I would think our average would hold up. Our revenue would hold up. And we wouldn't have so much animosity around prices. And our prices wouldn't look so silly. The POTG being reduced might even attract more floating fans and new fans. But to do that the early birds needs to give up some of their current comfortable position. Would early birds be prepared to pay more to help get new fans is the question that needs asking? Or do they want POTG to keep subsidising early bird prices? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HirstWhoScoredIt Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 The pricing structure is too complicated. I’d have it very simple:- Kop:- £400 Everywhere Else:- £550 Kids:- £100 everywhere in ground Matchday:- Kop £25 Everywhere Else £34 Kids £10 everywhere in ground Ive never understood discounts for OAP’s when usually they have more disposable income. Ive never understood discounts for existing customers when the aim is to get new customers. I don’t understand the need for loads of categories. Clear, transparent and realistic pricing. Everybody knows where they stand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are too low as well mate. £20 for a ticket, we paid more than that 15 years ago. As stated above £25 is reasonable for the Kop for POTG. I AGREE THE PRICING OF SEASON TICKETS GETS MENTAL, i’m lucky and put money in a pot every week to get the early bird tickets but they are getting earlier. And the categories are stupid, people are coming to watch Wednesday, not the oppo’s. Edited June 22, 2023 by Owling Wolfe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit I sit on the Kop, but when the cup games are on and it’s closed the view from the North/South is worth £9 extra, especially in the middle of the stand.

If we had the odd 10 pound ticket on a sat at 3 I bet people would. These are aimed at all supporters. We have been overpaying for so long… I think it’s about time the club found other ways to combat ffp like every other club does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My personal opinion - £25 Kop - £27 North and £28 South, get rid of categories + get rid of phases for season tickets. (or maybe 2 phases max - 1 in January - then £23 more after that until the season starts). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypnotiseme Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 I would love to have another season ticket again. I would have to factor in travel as I live over the Pennines in Saddleworth. I think I would be happy to pay £350 for the North. Also, away attendances are bound to sell out. I can rarely get a ticket. I do however want to be able to watch those sway matches on iFollow. Why make it hard for those of us who can’t make it, and who live in the UK, to pay money to watch the game? iFollow should be max £5 per game. The quality of the offering is so poor; £10 per game is extortionate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
