Humpty 3,261 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Trapper, that boat has well and truly sailed with the new ST prices. Walk up prives have to be at least equal to the average cost of a ST otherwise whats the point in buying a ST? Guaranteeing a seat or joint seats instead of scrambling for tickets that are only available in singles? I'm not convinced that's going to be the case personally. Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,283 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 The only way I can see some walk-up tickets being lower than the cost per game of a season ticket is if, when we categorise the matches, we categorise a large amount of games as Category A and B but much, much less as Category C. Then the Category C matches might be cheaper than the average cost per game for a ST holder. But the Category A and B tickets will still cost much more. Link to post Share on other sites
Hewie 94 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Thanks for the answers folks. I guess Ill have to wait and see as we get closer to the season.... Link to post Share on other sites
Maccarone 265 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Are the club continuing with the Pride card's, if so anyone know when they are available? Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 2,492 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Are the club continuing with the Pride card's, if so anyone know when they are available? They didn't come out until late July last year, and it was even later the year before, I think it was more or less a week before the start of the season. It is usually a bit of an afterthought after the season tickets. Link to post Share on other sites

I emailed the club a few weeks back and as Tom said they weren't expecting to release anything on Pride Cards or Match day prices until July. Link to post Share on other sites
Humpty 3,261 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Boro have only sold 2,000 season tickets since winning promotion. Not quite the uptake they were expecting, i'm sure. Link to post Share on other sites

If that's the case then we have precisely the same number of season card holders now as we had last season. Link to post Share on other sites
CurtisFleming 86 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I wonder why that is? Link to post Share on other sites
Sarumite 86 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I'm seriously hoping that there are Pride cards again and that walk up prices aren't too big.. I've just moved up to Darlington from Salisbury, but am going to be a student rather than full time employed. I'd have loved a season ticket - but the club only help 18-21 as an age group but not students in general :-( I'm not surprised if the uptake isn't larger than last season.. Last year was always going to be a battle for promotion, for lots of people that is more exciting than next seasons expected battle against promotion!! There will be big crowds for the 'big draw' games and mid twenties for most other games depending if the away allocation sells out Link to post Share on other sites

If that's the case then we have precisely the same number of season card holders now as we had last season. Over 18,000 took it up on the early bird I think so that was already more than last season Link to post Share on other sites

jamesp 125 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 once a few more signings come in and we get closer to the season I can see it being 24k which would be pretty good, 3k for away fans and 6k walkups. Ground will be pretty full next year Link to post Share on other sites
Erimus 63 481 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 As I previously said I wasn't to excited about a big money deal for Negredo however a loan arrangement sounds like a no brainer to me and would be a excellent piece of business. To think in this inflated market we could potentially have Fischer/De Roon/Subotic/Negredo/Valdes/Espinosa/Barragan/Ramirez all for the total of about £25 million is insane. I would imagine it still leaves us with plenty in the coffers should a big attacking target become available. The more I read it, the more it annoys me. All this money sloshing about and the season ticket increase, its indefensible imho. Link to post Share on other sites
