For me its not really the prices themselves (which are cheap for the championship) its the lack of extras for season ticket holders.
If you have a kid, CAFC discount the crap out of a season ticket for them, but what if you want to just bring your other half along? Theres no discount if you want to buy 2 adult season tickets...
If thats not possible, then why not chop a few quid off match ticket prices if your buying as a ST holder, and grabbing an extra for a mate to come along?? Its all very well providing discounts for the hospitality facilities, but I have a season ticket because I want to watch football, and Id rather have the chance to bring a friend along for cheaper.
Most clubs offer a discount in the club shop to ST holders, zip from CAFC! I understand they dont want to tread on the toes of the Valley Gold members (who presumably are mostly ST holder anyways) but your showing great loyalty to a football club if your willing to hand over 300 rips to see 23 home games with no guarantee youll win any of them, or even get a decent game of football. Your effectively a member of the club for a season, and I think having a few extras thrown in would reflect that.
I presume the club can not offer shop discounts, because it isnt run by them... this is also probably the reason you have to buy dvds from the commercial center.
Regards to the discounts on extra tickets, the season price is cheap enough for you to be in profit if you attend at least 50% of the games... I think thats a good enough deal already if you really do take guests so frequently.
Its not the discount for me I'm bothered about, I've bought the ST, its the lack of discounts for buying extra matchday tickets. To be fair, the club do offer the odd game (ie Bolton coming up) at a discount, but I think every game should have ST holder discounts.
Renewed 2 of my kids and mine in the NW Quad Block D last Thursday over the phone. Took 5 minutes. 500 sheets for 3 Season tickets (23 games each) is still great value for money.
just renewed mine. yes it has increased a bit, however it still works out @ £20 per game (including valley express), which i think is great value for money. compared to other clubs prices we are still very good imo. lets just hope for a better season next year!!
