Sarumite 86 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 2nd Comparison at the other end of the scale West Stand Upper - Category A - Adult £39 (8 Games) West Stand Upper - Category A - Adult £34 (11 Games) That comes out at £686 for the season for all games. That is compared to £646 for the season ticket.. Again the same £40 difference.. or 1 and missed and you lose the incentive Link to post Share on other sites
Lee. 21 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Well, I would still buy a season ticket if they were the same price as a walk up. Guaranteed seat, no queuing for tickets. Priority tickets for away games / cup games etc I'm not in it for the money really as long as it isn't more expensive ;) Link to post Share on other sites
Sarumite 86 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I sadly can't afford the one off cost of a season ticket - or justify it as I know I will miss 1 or 2 games at least a season from this coming season being a student as of September. I wish I could. Shame the club don't do a student ticket - But it means I am not being punished massively for not doing so - which pleases me. It used to be though that there was a decent incentive for buying a season ticket with regards to saving compared to cost of walk up. Link to post Share on other sites
CurtisFleming 86 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Well with me working some weekends I'm glad I never got one now. £40 Difference over the course of the season is nothing really. Link to post Share on other sites

"KM" 1,656 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Wonder how much of an influence the backlash over season card prices made to the club's thinking on match day prices. I was expecting a bigger differential tbh. Link to post Share on other sites

bugrit 31 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Yeah and it makes me wonder where next season's prices are heading, too. If the plan is to restore the differential between ST and walk-up costs it could go one of two ways, one of which is going to be very unpopular. Link to post Share on other sites
Sarumite 86 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Here are all the walk up prices... Link to post Share on other sites
Erimus 63 481 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Big mistake by the club in their whole pricing policies. They can get away with them in this first novelty season, but these prices are not sustainable. The pubs will be full. Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 2,492 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 These prices aren't the problem, they're pretty competitive. It was the season ticket prices where they messed up this year. Edit: That said, I hate the idea of categorised games. We're already in the richest league in the world, why try to squeeze an extra fiver out of people because they're seeing Wayne Rooney or Diego Costa? Link to post Share on other sites

Priority tickets for away games / cup games etc I'm not in it for the money really as long as it isn't more expensive ;) Many of us have to be much more cost-conscious. I'm not well off by any stretch of the imagination. We are talking about season card vs walk up prices. I don't mind paying the same as I sign up for my piece of mind and to get priority access. I don't begrudge people who need to walk up paying the same price I did in the slightest. Obviously the cost saving is a bonus, but hey - its not the only reason you get a season card surely? Maybe I wasn't quite so clear when I said "I'm not in it for the money really as long as it isn't more expensive ;)" - What I was saying is that as long as i'm not paying more than a walk up ticket i'm not bothered. Tickets are deffo too expensive and I get the whole being priced out thing for sure Link to post Share on other sites
Air Resistance 26 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 As a long term season ticket holder in west upper, the discount I got on my st actually means I've saved almost £300! However I agree that although the walk up prices seem on the acceptable side of the going rate, the season ticket prices next will be where we fall down Link to post Share on other sites

For some, it was better than the other benefits and for everyone it was better than it is now. ;) I do understand what you're saying, though. Link to post Share on other sites
Erimus 63 481 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 There's nothing acceptable about home fans having to pay more than away fans. The club are happy to pay over the top prices and wages for journey men, but are unwilling to look after their own fans. Link to post Share on other sites
