Season tickets next season

[AGENT_CLARET]

I suppose that pinpoints that no matter how reasonable you think you are being some will find it unreasonable. I suppose life would be dull otherwise

"Current trajectory" is that average ST prices have gone up about 70 quid in 10 years at a rate far lower than inflation.

£250£346= £96 in one year for one particular category though. Not very fair in my book. But it's what it is, we either take it or leave it.

We shouldn't just be rolling over and taking it though, right ? It is very wrong.

[Claretmisterg]

So you're saying it should work as a loyalty bonus rather than based upon age? At what point do you start introducing this long term fan bonus?

Someone watching for 55 years could be 60. Are you saying we bring in the discount for 60 year olds?

I don’t understand what point you are trying to make. Please could you elaborate.

How much has your season ticket gone up over the last ten years ????

[Inchy]

Last summer I put myself and my son on the season ticket waiting list. I’ve heard nothing back since, although I have friends who have just walked into the club shop and bought a season ticket. I assume it’s because o need a ticket for a 7 year old and the club limit where you can buy those.

I logged into my account for the first time in ages yesterday and clicked on renew and was directed to the waiting list again. Are we actually at capacity for season tickets?

Tbh I’m debating not bothering. My only options are Jimmy Mac Lowe or upper. Don’t don’t fancy Lower because the view is crap and you get pods wet through.

The cost of upper is a lot. Particularly when I’m travelling from Leeds and I won’t be able to go every game as I work some weekends. So I’m looking at 50-60 quid a month DD plus 40 quid petrol every trip. It’s a lot with a young family. My in laws are Huddersfield Town fans and my son goes to watch them a fair bit and it’s looking like that’s who he will end up supporting at this rate. Sad really

[dougcollins]

The only places in the ground you don't get pods wet through are the Cricketfield and the Bob Lord.

[Quickenthetempo]

Longside upper don't but I'm halfway back.

The first few rows might

How much has your season ticket gone up over the last ten years ????

I was on an adult ticket in jhl last season so think was £453, the same ticket next season is £504 on early bird, so on that basis would be £51, so around 11%. By qualifying next season for oap my ticket is £346, this season was £250, consequently gone up around 38% I believe, which is my point, the range of increase in percentage terms across the board. To single out 2 categories with big increases just doesn't sit right, the other one being u22. However I do agree in principle with your point of not much increase over the last 10 years on average.

[AGENT_CLARET]

"However I do agree in principle with your point of not much increase over the last 10 years on AVERAGE"

And this is the important point

Every point people make is important to THEM, just like your point is important to you

It isn't at all

Seen as what, 7 of them was under a previous ownership group that did freeze prices - so that time period cannot be included whatsoever, to do so is disingenuous at best.

Surely before coming to their decision they have considered all the seasons before their arrival that fans have had this benefit and decided it worthy to bring a little bit of realism back to prices. Yes they are the bad guys to you but to others they are not

What makes it 'realism'?

It's hiking concessions up as much as feasibly possible to raise them, to eventually do away with concession tickets.

This strategy along with the price for one off tickets for the Turf is terrible for the long term health of the fanbase. Might be brilliant for short term profits though.

Nothing more to it.

But the prices haven't changed for about 10 years.
I've got a season ticket at home from 2009 that is £16 more than I paid for last 5 years

[chipbutty]

Nobody should have to be contacting anyone about season tickets. The prices should be out and they should be on sale. As they are not out, we should be told why.

Wow.
You hold yourself in high esteem don't you?

Sorry if it’s already been mentioned but can you renew your season ticket by paying on your credit card ? And is it the same price,I don’t fancy direct debit and would rather pay it off over a few months

[Funkydrummer]

I've never done it, but can't anticipate there being a problem other than maybe a charge for using a credit card. I suppose it depends on the amount they may charge you for the privilege.

[Aclaret]

I hope so, that was my plan too, going over there either later today or tomorrow.

Has anyone had the experience of placing a child's ticket on the ticket exchange scheme ?

My partner is not renewing her seat next season and I'm thinking of taking a child ticket for her seat to take the various grandchildren along from time to time. We can also upgrade on a match by match basis for any adults that wish to come along too.

However, in the event of no-one wanting the ticket, what do you think will happen if the club sells the ticket via the exchange scheme to an adult ?

Who gets the extra money ?

I think I may know the answer

[wilks_bfc]

If you thought our increases were bad, wait until you see the outrage over Nottingham Forest increases

A child ticket is only worth about a fiver. Not really worth putting it on the exchange.
But if you do, the club get 50 quid cash and you get 5 quid credit.

[Smidge]

There is no charge for paying by credit card
Stopped charging a couple of years ago
I have paid with mine

[Quickenthetempo]

I thought credit cards stopped paying for STs as they didn't get paid until the season was over and it was too dangerous with clubs going into admin?

Did something change?

[Smidge]

I've paid by credit card for last two years and not had a problem
Went into ticket office and he asked if it was credited or debit card
Was charged correct amount for my tickets
Not sure when they get paid but it's showing on my account as being paid

[Funkydrummer]

If that is the case then I wouldn't give the club the satisfaction of making money out of me (again). I was hoping, in the interest of fairness, that they would at least split the profit after administration costs.

At £6 per game I'll stand the cost and have an empty seat to sprawl across.

I see Forest fans are very unhappy about their season ticket prices for next season and aslo complaining that the Fan Advisory Board were less consulted and more informed about the increases.

Adult prices have gone from £465-£660 to £550-£850

An 18yr old this season would have payed £190 and now be classed as an adult so is a big increase

Thanks Smidge

For one, they obviously can't sell the ticket to a child. It has to be an adult.

I agree it would be nice to take your child to 18 matches and sell the ticket for the other 5 to pay for it and make a profit, but the club isn't going to go for that. If profit is to be made from selling a child's ticket to an adult, then that profit really ought to go to the club, not to a either a genuine fan who just happens to want a bit of profit, nor to a potential ticket tout. (If someone buys a single game match ticket for a child and then returns it when the child can't go, would you expect the club to refund just the child price, or the full adult price if that's who they sell it to?)

Just got a club email, confirming my SS us in place and will be collected on 2nd of each month.

My season ticket is, therefore, renewed!

[Murger]

I’ve had no confirmation email yet.

Yeah … I had a look and couldn’t see it … then look in spam and it was there

[fanzone]

I got an email to confirm purchase yet I had until the 19th April to let them know if I’m not renewing. Bizarre really.

Could you perhaps explain to me why you had to refer to them as Americans and not just “businessmen”.

Does nationality have something to do with your post? If not, don’t use it.

I refer to them as Americans because they are from America. Half the Premier League is owned by Americans seeking to earn profit from our national game and that is bad.

Nationality is relevant because of the different sports models. The American sports model is for the owners to take profits out of the club. The British sports model, traditionally, is not. (For the majority of the Football League's existence, it was against the rules for the owners to take more than a dividend and for the directors to take any salary.)
