Season Ticket prices going up...

[melias shoes]

I get that, can't remember when it was announced last season and did it come in 2 prices? So do they say its x amount in the championship but if we go up it will be y

Yes that's what I was thinking would happen.

So the most expensive team in the league to support gets more expensive.

I think less than £20 a match for a large number of season ticket holders is not anywhere near the most expensive. The research done elsewhere also suggests we are not the most expensive, what are you refering to? Is it just the pies?

Season tickets across England went up by nearly 12% on average last year, ours didn't go up at all

In fact this report into the costs rising in football doesn't mention Brighton once

I used to dread the annual Withdean renewal notices in February/March.

It made it seem all the more like we were never going to leave the place. That, and they kept going up, for the worst facilities in the entire league.

The cheapest ticket to watch Brighton v Palace (our equivilent of a Grade A game) is £28 Ipswich would charge you £34, so you are wrong

£22.50 according to the BBC report.

I think they're 8th or 9th most expensive in our league and for a southern club, they're reasonable.

Relative to what the rest of us pay for match-by-match tickets they are pretty cheap.

 

[Superphil]

£22.50 according to the BBC report.

For an A grade match it is £31.50 in the south stand lower tier, and no buses, trains or P&R included.

Better let the BBC know they are wrong then!

Did you even read it? The cheapest season tickets at Leeds, Hull & Middlesbrough are dearer than us even with the transport levy on ours, if you take off the levy (£46) then add to that Palace, Ipswich & Wolves. So there are 6 teams more expensive to watch than the Albion.

Basically worthless figures when nearly 90% of the Albion crowd don't pay those amounts.

But we've said that time and again on here.

Even if that were true ( which it's not ), surely we watch in the best stadium in the league ?

Why should I take off the transport levy when I pay it 3 times over, and 3 friends pay it too, AND we pay handsomely for a car parking space?

Yes, I was going by the 'cheapest day out' column where we are the most expensive. Even if you take say £5 out or travel to/from Brighton we are still one of the most expensive.

I think it's fair to include the transport levy. I don't need to pay for transport anyway, my train season ticket covers that journey and there is no way for me to claim the cost back.

I didn't ask you to take the transport levy off did I? I pointed out that with it on we are still not the dearest, and if you remove it (for those who do benefit from it), we are far away from being the most expensive.

Oh, I see, well I was going by what it costs to follow the Albion, which does not make us the most expensive.

Strange time for an announcement seeing as we don't know what league will we be in

Well I hope it's not going to be League 1!

 

[Wilka]

A rise of 5% wouldn't be too bad in terms of DD.

 

[screamadelica]

Barber said this in the programme notes a while back didn't he? But also said he was trying to keep the increase as low as feasible.
