[Albion] Season ticket renewal prices...?

[Lady Whistledown]

Season ticket prices for 2019/20 being announced this weekend.

What do we think the damage will be? I can't see they can really hoof prices up too much, given that they cannot guarantee we'll be a PL team next season, but an increase of sorts seems inevitable, does it not?

2.5% increase.

Fine by me, whatever division we’re on.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

2.5% increase.

With a free Albion-branded flask for all renewers in the lower tiers.

 

[Worthing exile]

Looking forward to a nice reduction next season.

Well I will be 65 ha ha

Seagulls tartan blankets to appease the flaskless mob.

I'd hope they're no more than £10-£20 per season ticket, but I suspect they're going to hike them up quite drastically. For me personally, there's going to come a tipping point whereby it becomes too expensive for me, particularly as getting to the ground has already become more expensive for me next season due to the club's decisions re coach travel - hopefully that tipping point won't be reached this week though.

On match.com you’re still claiming to be 39, apparently.

Interest-free monthly
OR
Annual direct debit **NEW for 2019**

will the annual one attract a discount?

 

[Dave the OAP]

Now we are established- hopefully- I think we will start to see 5% increases

 

[spence]

Since the Amex opened my season ticket has gone up from £32.91 per month to £42.91 per month

No you are confusing STs with the Directors Box. Just look up there at half time and see how many blankets there are strewn around. Those poor soles would never survive a concourse queue for a bovril.

I look forward to reading, as always, how the club write up the (surely) inevitable price rise in a manner which makes it look like they're doing us a favour.

I always take into account the free travel you get, so not so bad.

It's been considerably less value for many of us this season, thanks to the closure of the Brighton main line for approximately half the games. I've ended up paying for the Seagulls Travel coaches more often than not, because it's just too much of a pain in the arse to get a rail replacement bus. Not that this is the club's fault, of course.

Not so bad for us travelling in from Worthing. Not rubbing it in btw.

 

[nickbrighton]

anyone know what came of the idea to add membership automatically to season tickets with an opt out option?

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

3% increase I'd guess, which won't be applied IF you pay for the whole season up front

I'm sure your turn will come None of us can ever fully escape the malevolent intentions of Network Rail.

You get if you live within a specific area...

Well I think that's reasonable. I think it's a bit much to expect them to lay on coaches from Great Yarmouth and Abergavenny, say. We're not Man United.
