[Albion] Season ticket prices 24/25

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

Plus even more millions spent by the owner providing a stadium and first class training facilities

In the last 12 months since the last increase?

Anyway it doesn't matter, I'll be paying it

Well of course not given the stadium is over 10 years old.

Perhaps our owner might want to recuperate a little of his huge investment

I think the club keep back 1901 seats, like yours, for potential hospitality package sales.

I wish they’d have the decency to say so, and buy them, rather than leaving me sweating on whether they’ll sell or not.
Rather than wishy washy ‘I’m not sure why they’ve not got on the exchange yet’ type answers when Ive phoned them over the past week or so.

Certainly was surprised to see EU is now £860 ie £45 a game so some match day tickets could be £60. Club will be pleased with any tickets going on exchange. Lucky so many of us can afford but still think it is a shame tickets get further away from those on low disposal income

…..…or simply keep pace with the rising costs of providing football (sustainability). Bet the increase does no more than, at best, equalise all the cost increases the club will have been hit with.

I would like the park and ride buses to be used by people using the parking —simple as that. I’ve had to stop using the park and ride completely as I was left with a choice — leave the match 10 minutes early, or wait for up to an hour on those bloody steps in the cold and pissing rain. Neither option is very attractive for someone my age, so I’ve thrown my lot in with Seagull Travel. It means an extra £23 a game but at least I get to see all of the game I’ve paid for, and have the peace of mind of knowing I’ll be dry and warm, and know when I’m likely to get home. The freeloaders really piss me off. As for all this pearl-clutching and wondering how you can get to the ground without hijacking the P and R service, I’d say simply that you get there the same way you’d get there if there was no P and R. But it’s not the P and R users' problem. For a partial solution, I would charge for P and R, and make it prebookable. I’m sure there are other solutions to help the situation.

I’d prefer the P&R to be renamed ’shuttle bus’ or something………sorry don’t agree at all…….everyone pays the same travel subsidy and has the same right to use the train, bus or P&R bus, whether actually parking or not

Is travel still included?

As fans can be renewing now to then subsequently withdraw the travel included (or move goalposts e.g. reduce the travel zone) wouldnt look good at all so I doubt there will be any change next season.

Agreed. It wouldn’t look good to both do it and spread unfounded rumours that it is . Which is why for the 4th or 5th time on this thread I’ll share that both Bloom and Barber have confirmed the travel subsidy is not being withdrawn..

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

I find the people upset by people not parking to use the park and ride some of the strangest people on this forum. Imagine living in on of those houses next to Patcham Place, or even the house at Waterhall Playing fields, and only being able to use the bus if you drive for 30 seconds and fill a parking bay. Just bizarre.

A shuttle bus that just happens to go back and forward from the park and ride sites? How about we keep the P and R system with dedicated P and R buses, but also provide proper shuttle buses to places that people want to go to eg somewhere with onward travel options.

If you don’t like the price increases or can’t afford, just a reminder attendance is not compulsory and/or it’s cheaper to watch on TV if not free. Which is how most people consume football anyway and what it’s set up to be.

I’m sorry you find me 'strange' for not wanting to queue up for long periods in shitty weather, or being happy about having to leave the match 10 minutes before the final whistle. I find people like you equally strange for always dreaming up these tiny minorities to try to prove your point. No doubt some people who live near the P and R sites find it convenient to muscle in on the dedicated park and ride buses. It doesn’t make it right. Frankly, I think they should take the park and ride out of the free travel system. It’s an additional service that needs to be financed and organised and managed, just like Seagull Travel etc. It’s not an existing service. So charge for it. At least then we could improve and widen the service with the extra revenue raised, and give the club an incentive not to keep ignoring the grim experience it currently is.

What I've quoted there are the options for us all at any home game namely Leave early, wait, queue or throw cash at it. The notion that stopping a few people who live near the park and ride using it and it would magically make the queue disappear is a fantasy.

I thought club were going to put a cover over steps to P&R

What you're saying is you don't like queues. Fine. Neither do i. I get the argument for wanting it a prebooked service so bus capacity can be arranged to match demand. But not for wanting it to be car only, it's illogical. You're creating a limit on the amount who can get on the bus, and moving the queue somewhere else, probably to the train queues.

As for calling them freeloaders in an earlier post.- they are paying as much as you are.

Absolutely baffling to think you as a driver deserve a shorter queue than a non driver

They aren’t muscling in. They are using transport provided, for which they pay as part of their ticket.

There are different reasons why the P n R at Mill Road is problematic but blaming it on people who 'muscle in' is frankly ridiculous. The low bridge prevents double deckers buses being deploid and since the demise of bendy buses, single deckers and coaches have to be found. However the main problem isn't the amount of people or lack of buses but the problem the buses have almost every matchday, with traffic. For the buses to pick up, drop off and return again is at best slow and at its worst traffic on and joining the A27 can be at a complete standstill.
