Matchday prices 2013/14 Cat A,B,C

[Spun Cuppa]

As the club pay a licensing fee to the company providing the ticketing software and a fee is incurred for each and every ticket sold why should personal callers have the booking fee waived and the costs offset against the online booking fee which has been the case for the last 2 years ?

Perhaps they could have bought ticketing software which didn't involve paying a fee to use it? This is 2013 after all, and I'm sure this option is available out there, what with the way commerce works

I doubt anyone does that we charge licence fees for product use, very lucrative

There are plenty of clubs who do this variable pricing, but are there any others who don't announce the categories for all league games up front?

Wasn't there a club last season who had 'fluid pricing', in that they used an algorithm to set prices according to historical demand, based on the gates generated in previous games

This removal of the WSU wings from Band A concerns me. Clarification would be good on two counts:-

1. Are we expected to pay the higher cup game fees even though we're in Band A season ticket seats?
2. Will our season tickets go up next season unilaterally?

They're changing the goal posts on us - but I have to say that at Band A the combination of stunning view, (mostly) good atmosphere and cozy concourse that those seats enjoy is outstanding value!

Have you been W!C since the stadium opened, as there were definitely no concession prices then.

Looking at the season ticket chart and the match price chart, I would assume this is just human error. I just hope, for your sake, that the error is not listing concession match prices and not that someone has allowed concession season tickets by mistake!

Always been W1C always received concessions as have friends with kids. If you look at the season price list compared with match day they appear to have widened the non-concession banding, I'm gutted and fearful for the following season, when I reckon I won't be able to get concession season ticket for him.

I can't see anything wrong with it, no one is forcing you to pay out £42 for a ticket. Also it's much better than previously as if you can only attend games like Blackpool or Yeovil, would you still be happy that the price is the same as per QPR or Reading?

This way if you are struggling for money but want to go, then go to the games that are cheapest. To me it's fairer. As for the booking fee it's not like this is the first time it's being done, it's always been there and now it's cheaper booking online, just a £1 instead of £2 which I guess covers posting the tickets!

I really don't understand the negativity!

 

[Beach Hut]

So is on-line £1 per ticket for away tickets as well ?

 

[brightn'ove]

What's wrong with it?

Cheapest ticket effectively £26/£26.50, £2 cheaper than last year, yes, but only for a few opponents. The prices for the lucrative games are sky-high.

Oh yeah, don't forget that you also have to pay for the right to accumulate loyalty points now.

What next, the official website to go behind a pay-wall? Monthly licensing to wear anything with the club crest on in public? £1 for entry to the toilets?

You're half right. half the block is Zone C and half in Zone D. Zone C has no concessions whereas Zone D does. Presumably, Arrid is in the Zone D side of the block.

 

[T soprano]

Yeah, I noticed that. I'm a little concerned that season tickets in the wings (I'm in Block H) will rise to the same as the rest of WSU after this next season, which will be annoying as I chose to sit where I do for reasons of price.

Same as us,I'm not paying the same price for sitting in the wings as sitting in the centre of west,
Will be relocating in the north if this happens

What, in my case you don't see the problem at being sold a season ticket at a concessionary price (U10-for my son) but not getting a concession price for a Cup game cat A,B or C game?

check out the prices of the north-west corner, what on earth is that all about? 42 fecking quid.

I wouldn't be surprised if they actually INCREASED the prices of the wings.

Most people's bugbear is we are being charged to buy something. Can't really think of any other situation where you are charged to spend money

Quite a lot of events charge a booking fee - most concerts and now sporting so nothing new at all

I think you've been very lucky somehow, concessions weren't offered in that area:

I'm talking league games..

It's the WSM extension - 'the shelf'. I was surprised to see any prices against this area, as it's supposed to be for school parties and similar groups of kids with adult supervision.

You've never bought a concert or theatre ticket then? I don't like these fees either but they are still cheaper than buying tickets from ticket agencies such as Ticketmaster.

Do pay attention. I've already explained this above. Look again. Half of that block is in Zone D and half is in Zone E. It is the same with W1G.

Bozza, sorry coz this isn't your problem but to be clear on the old st price list we are zone D, this now appears to have been engulfed by W1C !
