Re: Season tickets next season
I think the 'cyclical' rationale for increasing tickets after relegation/promotion is inevitable. Relegation - Price increase for more games. Promotion - Price increase as you're seeing a better standard of opponent. Lets hope we don't become a yo-yo team or we'll be paying Chelsea / Arsenal prices ...

Re: Season tickets next season
I think the sad reality is that as Burnley fans, they could fairly hammer us and most would still buy.
Even £100 sounds a lot, until you realise it's £4.35 per game in the Championship, which is less than a pint of beer every other week.
