That reminds me of my son's maths homework...
If all three cats receive a 30% increase then how much more money will Cat A have than Cat B...?

No need to be confused...read the OP.
Oh - and with 23k STH, the stadium is unlikely to be half full, whatever the match day ticket prices.
Whoops should have read the post properly! And half full was a very loose term, I would have expected a lot of empty seats if Cat C was £45. It's not, so move along!

That's what's generally meant by the use of the word "announced", I thought?

So, Reading the guide the tickets are:
CATEGORY A
prices start from
£45 for Adults
£35 for 65+/U21
£25 for U18
CATEGORY B
prices start from
£35 for Adults
£26 for 65+/U21
£18 for U18
CATEGORY C
prices start from
£30 for Adults
£23 for 65+/U21
£15 for U18
I am reasonably happy with that pricing for a Cat B or C as my son and I can come along for £45-£53 between us and that isn't too horrific. Feels a bit steep for Cat A but lets be honest, we will be playing some of the best teams in the world and that doesn't come cheap

Actually I was thinking that £45 is cheaper than I expected! This is the Premier League now remember. We have no choice but to charge £30 for away fans, the price isn't determined by us.

No mention of keeping the concourses open post game?
Other than tweaks, exactly what it said last year: "After the game, Dick’s Bar and the 7 Stars sports bar will remain open along with the Ticket Office and club shop."

That'll cost me a beer on Friday night.
I agree with that for sure but I do not understand why we cannot cap our home tickets as well. With the TV money coming in surely ticket income is a drop in the ocean

I've really enjoyed the journey to the Premier League. As a destination, though, it's turning out to be a bit of a shit sandwich.
I'm seriously contemplating having a year off.

I'm sure that they will be. An awful lot of revenue will be lost if they close them.

This is the point. How much more money will the club expect from a £45 cat A game with match by match tickets? There won't be many around, and assuming the cheapest is £45, is the ESU £53-55? Crazy stuff! Just reduce it by £5 and you are someone near acceptable. The point being that with this seasons TV money we could have given away half the tickets for nothing and still been better off financially than a season in the PL last year. Barber being too greedy again!

Part of me thinks this might have a bit of future proofing in it. First season back in the top flight, quite possible we could go straight back down so whack the prices up and get as much money in as possible. Sure, we've got a massive boon just from being in the Premier League but more money is definitely better than the money you already have.
As well as away tickets being capped at £30, some clubs are offering other incentives for their fans to follow them away from home

If those predictions are correct it would cost a minimum of £700 to watch every match at the Amex next season. If the highest prices are £10 greater it would cost a maximum of £890.
Makes a ST seem even better value...and remember it includes the travel voucher.
The Category A games will sell out quickly, seems churlish to have a pop at Tony Bloom for trying to get an extra fiver back off people for some games given that he's spent £300 million of his own money in delivering Premier League football.
