wakefieldowl Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Surprised this hasn’t been posted already great example of screwing fans for as much as they can, despite huge PL money cheapest ST £550………. Premier League strugglers Nottingham Forest's increase in season ticket prices for the 2024-25 season has been strongly criticised by a fans group. An adult season ticket in Zone One of the Brian Clough Upper stand has increased by 28% while a child's season ticket has increased by up to 111%. Nottingham Forest Supporters' Trust said it "strongly opposes" the rise. It added the average price increases are "totally disproportionate to the current inflation rate". The inflation rate in the UK is currently 3.2%. The most expensive adult ticket for next season at Forest, who have five games left and are at risk of Premier League relegation, costs £850. That season ticket, in Zone One of the club's new pricing bands, is up from £660 this season, while the cheapest has increased from £465 to £550.

That's a lot though. Regardless, those season ticket prices are appalling. Professional football is all about money now. That's all that matters. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopparberg Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Find it ironic when ticket prices increase that, people want to support players (understandable obviously) but those same players are probably a large factor in ticket prices shooting up. Clubs want to attract players / offer daft wages / fans charged through the nose for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 (edited) Footballs become too popular for its own good. People will rightly moan about these prices but Nottingham Forest know it will all blow over in a few days.

Also yet another foreign owned club, personally I blame Brexit (well someone has to)! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamsandwich Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 presumably those prices are for NEW season tickets and not for renewals. They're RIGHT to screw the new "fair weather" supporter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFL, suddenly everyone wanted a ticket when they signed Tom Brady and season tickets went up, but they froze the prices for anyone who’d bought one pre 2019 and the new fans had to pay a premium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can be shocked We can be disgusted We can be surprised We can be amazed We can laugh at it But we all know our chairman would do even worse to our fans should we go up 3 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFCOwls Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 If L1 did one thing it showed who the real fans are at Pride Park. My brother went straight out and brought a season ticket the moment they went on sale after our relegation, that is true support. Forest have a waiting list because they've been doing well and the owner splashing the money on Prem promotion, none of them will be waiting if they're relegated trust me. The comment that sticks in my head from a Forest fan is "we ain't just paying £550 for us, we're paying it to watch big clubs play at the City Ground".. football is sick at the top, proper supporters of the club get pushed out so ar3eholes like the commenter can ogle at overpaid for prima donnas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was desperate to mix it in the big club, he was never interested in the club he was only interested in his own ego and money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, they’re still quite reasonable compared to ours and the supporters trust might be listened to. They also spend money on players and invest in facilities, etc. https://theathletic.com/5274960/2024/02/16/nottingham-forest-city-ground-redeveloped-masterplan/# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
