I think it's called an increase for the top priced adult tickets in Zone E (assuming we go up) of 26.8% or for mere mortals like me and my Son in WSL (Zone D) of 26.46% - Is that financial fair play?

Thanks I missed that and thought that the one I highlighted was the official one?
For me AND my 16 year old, in ESL, £28.91 pg or £35.00 pg. Decent.

I knocked that up based on the published prices for this season and next.

Happy with that. At £32 a game for me and two Bobkin Jnrs, I think that's cracking value – gotta love the Family Stand!
Also, I don't buy this whole thing about not being bothered about the opposition or the quality players on show. The fact that in the past fans have been GAGGING for a big club at home in the cup – and when these games come around they typically sell out of are close to selling out – surely means that people DO care. Why would you NOT want to go and see some of the best players in the world play, even if they are on the other team? It's part of the reason people watch football – on TV as well as live...

£2.50 per month is hardly a hike is it ? Factor in that Southern have upped their prices I think we have a good deal here ... whats the quibbling for. My last pay rise certainly covers £2.50 per month ...
The table that refers to new STHs as 'Johnny Come Lately's"?

That's the point isn't it?
It's the fans who only show up for the BIG games that will be spunking over these clubs potentially visiting us.
The rest of us, the ones that have held season tickets for many years are of course proud we might be playing these teams in the country's elite, but i'd prefer it if their starlets don't perform or go off injured so we can turn them over.
I wouldn't bother mate, is there nothing [MENTION=257]The Large One[/MENTION] will not argue against. Seriously he need a bird and a job before he explodes. At least that would give him a reason to moan about the trains.

Not sure that would work. I think if the turnstyle doesn't record a physical entry for a ticket scan, then the ticket scan doesn't count.
I'm sure you are correct, yes. I was JOKING btw.
Anyway, their 25% rule is pretty generous isn't it? They're only requiring you to use the seat for a minimum of THREE of the first TEN games! If you can't manage that you would buy the ticket, surely?

If any one is genuinely upset or cross about the club putting in a small price increase, then they can **** right off. Everything bloom has put in and people bitch about a small increase coming after he froze it last season despite improving the squad. ****ing **** me. We have some seriously misguided ***** as fans.

I really hope our club abolish booking fees too. Most reputable companies have stopped using them. They are, after all, a dishonest may of pretending something is cheaper than it is.
By all means add a postage fee to the entire purchase if the club are sending the tickets. Print at home is fine, but can't be used for away tickets. And as for charging for people to collect from the shop. Well this is totally counter productive as I am sure when many go to the shop they make impulse buys, which surely the club would want to encourage?
Getting side tracked here. The increases are wholly reasonable.
Ah. Whilst on subject, please do away with that awful 0844 phone number. Again, an unpleasant hangover from the previous decade that most self respecting businesses have ditched.

The cheapest tickets will work out at £26.05 or, if you are a new season ticket holder and £25 is added to the cost of the season ticket, the price increases to £27.30. I'm assuming these tickets would be sold for no more than £30 in the prem as would mirror the away ticket price cap?
Explain why FFP is a legitimate reason for increasing the cost of season tickets?
Clubs now have to be self sustaining - so more money in = more chance to pay higher wages and buy better players. Key thing is that the club has to generate the revenue.

Do they still make ST holders pay for all cup games, including Europe, whether they want to or not?
