I still can't fathom why people EXPECT a price rise if we're promoted when there'd be four less games per season.

Whatever the increase - I don't see why there would then be an additional increase if we are promoted.

There would be an automatic increase by way of there being 4 less home games - approx 17.5%

This only applies to season ticket costs - match by match tickets I would expect to increase in proportion - or be categorised depending on opposition.

Working with a 10% increase in ticket prices regardless of promotion, I would then expect the additional 17.5% increase to be applied if promoted, this would increase the East Stand match by match £37 ticket price to £48 - how does this compare to other premier league ticket costs?

Match day costs would decrease, transport, stewarding, etc by the same percentage - so quite a significant saving. Will there be an appropriate reduction in the transport levy - unlikely.

The only increase in cost is in playing staff / coaching wages - which I would hope would be amply covered by the massive increase in TV revenue.

North Stand is to be re-numbered from the Huddersfield game next week with new cards being sent out during the week, also other changes in the e-mail sent to all North STHs but I can't remember them.

That's some of the changes, whether that's all the changes for now I've no idea.

Oh and on prices, expect dynamic pricing so match-by-match tickets might actually get cheaper.

When does the electronic programme get published

Hopefully they will talk about cheap tickets for students as well particularly for games like Barnsley on a Tuesday night.

As it stands at the moment I'm paying £21.30 per match on my season ticket (£490), which includes subsidised travel saving me another £6.00+/- per game. If the increase was to be 10%, for example, that would equate to an extra £2.13 per match (£23.43). I think I could live with that, maybe have one less pint in the concourse bar!

But the bottom line is, for me, a fantastic day out watching and enjoying the team I love - you can't put a price on that.

The season ticket renewal cycle is such that these things are resolved well before the end of the preceding season.

The Albion aren't unique in that.

True.

I estimate 3% plus a further increment in the clawback of the travel subsidy. Not sure what that totals as a %age on say a £450 current s/t cost.

I still think fair enough, for a magnificent stadium, good football at times, and to help TB on the operations side.

The cheapest ticket to watch Brighton v Palace is £28. Ipswich would charge you £34, so you are wrong

Why are Ipswich selling tickets for Brighton v Palace? Barber will do his f***ing nut.

Indeed, plus a rather hefty rise in revenue guaranteed.

The club will then tap all sources of income more, including us, to acquire and retain better players, to make survival more likely.

I haven't checked but I assume Swansea, Southampton, Norwich .... all raised prices significantly in their first PL season.

Last week I had my seat number tattooed. This better not be true.
