Average peak season ticket price in League One this year is £400. Ours? £550 once the £25 increase is applied. Good luck with those.
All that will happen is people currently paying more in the North will buy the £175 tickets. They'll lose swathes in other areas at these prices. Not sure they've thought this through, although nice to blame the focus group.
This is all great news if you are in the North Lower, but as someone who is happy with Block A of the East Stand, my seat actually increases by £100, so for me it's over 50% increase for next season......
Yeah but that just reflects the price of the seat you've actually been sitting in
They continually mention £7.13 per game etc. I take it that the club have given up on us going up by nicking one of the last 2 play off places still within our reach.

There are plenty of tickets well below the £525 top priced tickets. And isn't the £25 discount to come off the published prices, rather than the other way round, so that the top price is 500 before the deadline and 525 afterwards?
My grandson will be 18 within the next couple of months, not sure whether he will be a student come August, if I purchased an under 21 ST will I be able to claim a rebate if he becomes a student. At the moment I have no intention of renewing.

Are you sure the prices will go up by £25 opposed to being £25 less than the quoted price if you renew early?
If you're right that makes third division football more expensive than the season before in the Championship.
I've never been more tempted not to buy a season ticket at all. If the team is as good as I fear next season I can go to about five games and save myself a fortune!
So the club pushes everyone down into the North Lower with the promise of cheap prices next year, and the season after they can close the north upper and West upper as there will be few takers there, and increase the price for the North Lower again....Roland's plan!
The north lower is the right place for the cheap season tickets. The club would have liked to have put lounge access into the lower north a couple of years back, but there are safety issues around controlling the numbers of people in each tier of the stand and of the lounge. Having the cheap tickets in the east and west stands was always daft and has now created the inevitable problem when it was withdrawn of substantial increases in those areas. It's also likely to mean dearer match tickets there despite relegation, which will affect more than the people who actually sit in those blocks.
Leaving aside the other issues around renewal, the price for north upper seats, for example, is £85 higher than last time we were in League One in 2011/12 - an increase of 35 per cent.
to top to off, if I did renew I can no longer get my £15 discount by renewing online. I'd either have to phone or visit the ticket office, which is never open.
When Norwich were in a similar position to us a few years ago they announced their ST prices if they stay in the Championship, but offered early bird renewals a 30% rebate (or about that) if they got relegated. I think over 15000 renewed and got their rebate when they were relegated. That is proactive marketing.

It wouldn't matter if they were £50 - I've have enough of being treated like shit by these arrogant tossers. 43 years support, 35 years a season ticket holder - not a cat in hell's chance I'll be parting with any further money until these arseholes have departed.
Will Roland still be in charge? Will KM still be smirking in the directors box? Will the majority of our better players leave? Will we be left with a mix of kids, rubbish foreigners and unfit wasters that no one else wants?
If the answer to those is yes, then they can stick their season ticket.
I mentioned this last year to the guy who was responsible for season tickets (i cant remember his name now) and i'll mention it again as nothing has changed.
It's all very well offering adults a free child ticket with every adult ticket purchased in the family stand, but the maths dont work out?
Once again, it's cheaper for me to buy a ticket in the north stand (£175) and a separate season ticket for my kids compared to buying an adult ticket in the family stand.
Surely the whole point of the family stand is to make it attractive to people like me, who have young children. Last year, it was cheaper for me to buy myself and my kids tickets right next to the away fans so they could hear all the abuse etc. from away fans (i didn't i paid extra and renewed in the family stand - although none of us have attended).
What is the point of a family stand when it's cheaper for a family to sit elsewhere in the ground? Are families having to pay extra just to enjoy being sat with other families? Bizarre.
£325 to watch Nabby Sarr or similar getting roasted by League One strikers? Season ticket holder since 1990 but this time Roland and Katrien you can shove it!!!!

Well at least the language is far more refined...................oh hang on a minute .
£475 for my east stand seat, pretty much the same as last year..
...Except I'll be watching our under 12's play Accrington Stanley.
Should've bought one in A Block, saved a few hundred and bunked along towards the middle . Won't be able to do it next season though, spoilsports. Regime out! .

That way they can get money for 5000 renewals, but still say that they've sold 10000

But won't.

Lucky I'm holding back on renewing.
