Season Ticket Prices for 2014-5 announced...

[pasty]

My WSU season ticket has gone from £535 (£44.58 per month) to £550 (£45.83 per month).

An increase of £1.25 per month. Or 65p per match.

And still just £23.91 per match. Not going to complain at that to be honest.

Bargain, anyone who complains should have worked harder at school

come and see me on Saturday

So can anyone who is better at maths than me calculate roughly how much additional revenue this will earn the club?

If TLO's increase is an average and we keep 23k STH then £345000

 

[Jam The Man]

Extremely fair given yesterday's news.

Others see it from the fascist perspective

That is cheaper than a match day ticket was at Withdean, which highlights the value a season ticket is at the AMEX

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

Disgraceful

I see what you did there

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Matchday ticket prices to go up by £1 a pop ?

Correct, but TLO's situation wont be average for two reasons:

a) he's in WSU, which is a more expensive part of the ground
b) All U18's prices are frozen.

My estimate of the incremental revenue is closer to £250k.

The rise is definitely lower than I was expecting.

Why, do you want to buy me a pint or something

 

[algie]

I believe i paid £34.99 per month for a north stand season when the Amex first opened. Since then with these new increases that figure has topped £40 per month. They think by increasing by a faction you wouldn't notice but it soon tops up.

It's very small beer. Indeed, given current rates of inflation, many goods and services that the club purchases will go up in price by more than this, so any extra revenue may be more than offset by increased costs elsewhere, unless of course the restrained approach to pricing season tickets actually leads to more people signing up (unlikely, in my view -- I suspect we're fairly close to saturation, as long as we stay in the premiership, especially given that it's easy to buy tickets match by match).
Either way, the club has still taken a very rational approach in my view, as this is unlikely to be a big enough price increase to cause lots of people not to renew -- I have no idea what the price elasticity of demand for season tickets is, but a larger increase might well have ended up yielding less revenue, because of the non-renewal effect.

When is the last DD due for this season, and when does it start again?

 

[Goldstone1976]

It's not. It's the second cheapest part of the ground, with only the North Stand being cheaper.

The 5,500 people in WSL, the 5,500 people in ESL and the 3,400 in ESU are all paying more, which suggests the average will actually be higher.

Ooops! I saw WSU, wrote WSU, but was "thinking" WSL when I was doing the maths!

OK - so maybe, the £350k estimate is about right then, when you factor in the price freeze for U18's.

 

[matt_32510]

Seems fair, but I remember last season when they pulled some of the transport options after everyone had renewed e.g S,P bus, hope there is not another trick this year.

an increase is an increase, out of interest has anyone's wages risen between 2% and 5%

No pay rise for the last 12 years i'm afraid

 

[The Birdman]

I am waiting see the cost of the beer I think that's the one hurts most of the posters on this Board. Hey Blackadder
