Season Ticket Prices

[ees complicated no?]

Brilliant response. I know of at least five people who would stop going straight away if the prices went up significantly without a change of division. Let's face facts, we've got a stadium packed with people who don't support Brighton. They won't pay THAT much for the privilege. We might, but they won't.

oh no 5 people !!!! they would get replaced by fans on the waiting list if they didnt want to renew there season tickets, besides are you expecting tony to dish out all his money for the rest of his days here without him making ticket prices higher ? do you not want good players to come to us ? did you not want us to move into our new home ? dont forget he paid for all this out of his back pocket and if he wants to raise prices to make us more successful then he can.

They will go up like everything else does, as their costs would have gone up as well, I say about a 5% rise

 

[Brownstuff]

They are bloody cheap at moment so I think a 10% increase would be justified
They have probably been set low this season to build up our fan base and Brighton have got the pricing spot on as per the number of season tickets we have sold
They will definately go up as demand is still outstripping supply
If we finish this season poorly then this may be reviewed for example keep season ticket next season the same price if full payment is made and only increase by 10% to those who pay by monthly direct debit

Bloom sad on the Albion Roar that the club hopes to put the extra tier on the East & fill two of the corners in the summer. This means we'll have several thousand more seats next season so I don't see why there should be a price hike.

rule of life. Don't be greedy, it always comes back to bite you.

Once the first season novelty has worn off then a few may not renew especially with extra seats going in to make match by match availability better

That's the key - if we put in extra seats then i cant see the prices going up as we would not sell out a 30k stadium in the championship. I reckon we would have a max of around 20k season ticket holders next season if we're still in the champ. A few JCL's will drop out next season anyhow once the novelty wears out.

They'll go up by the rate of inflation...

 

[empire]

it will go up,bout 10%

How could you be happy to pay 10% more, watching football in the same division?

If Bloom invests more in the squad next Summer and we are still growing as a club and are looking to have a real go at promotion next season, then I would be happy to fork out another 3 pounds and twenty pence a month (less than the cost of a pint).

I wasn't necessarily talking about your post on this thread, I just meant generally.

I think the deteriorating economic climate will have an effect, particulalry as unemployment continues to rise and people become more uncertain about their jobs. The Club will need to undertake a very careful assessment of the market to make the correct judgement about a price increase against loss of customers as a result. At the end of the day it will be a commercial decision the same as any other business has to make.

I can see them going up around 10% only a extra £30ish for north stand, the thing is I dont mind paying the price now of a higher price because at the end of the day I know all the money the club makes now will go towards new players and upgrades for the stadium, more / better staff and investment for the future

Well said

what are all the rest of them doing during the games if not supporting brighton? Its a pretty staggering level of snobbery to say a season ticket holder isn't supporting the club.

meanwhile back on topic i think if they add the extra seats then well see the same prices. 5-10% rise if not.
