    £2 a game increase is nigh here or there for me. At £11 a game , it's still good value to watch a football game

    I read it that we will have a lower budget. We seem to have gone from a top 3 or top 7 budget, to an "ambitious" budget for next season.

    I'm pretty sure it does. I think they are probably testing the waters tbh. If no one complains leave it off.

    The club wind me up at times as much as the next person and I’m equally disappointed how the football has panned out of late but jeez there’s some unnecessary moaning in this thread

    The increase is first and foremost to make up the deficit made by the number of people not renewing next season. Less numbers equates to the rest making up the short fall. I suspect some on here will have wanked themselves into a coma at the news.

    Plus in reality, prices in the general economy are rising. Bradford City are not exempt from this

    To be fair in a business sense it's arguably the right thing to do, the price had been dropped to a crazy level years ago in last ditch attempt to bring fans through the gate. I'm not sure I'd have done at this stage though with a fan base increasingly frustrated at an incompetent owner and CEO and in what are very testing times for low income families. If by some miracle it helps get rid of Rupp I'll happily do it, for the shite that's served up in league 2 though I'm still undecided.

    Problem is football isn't a priority where other things such as bills and food on the table are. Couple this with a poor product and I think the infamous large crowds might be a thing of the past. I envisage the loss of footfall to be mainly the casual fan.

    Past couple of times it has been missed on the very first announcement and then added in later versions

    Exactly, can't blame the club for needing to adjust prices with inflation being what is has been over the last couple of years.

    Just a shame that the need to do this coincides with a pretty shambolic season.

    There the choices of life, in fairness though. Irrespective of whether there was a price increase or not, we would have lost supporters nonetheless. For me, it's a negligible increase. For those struggling, it's right that they take ownership and cut there cloth accordingly.

    No , Bradford city are a shining light for the poorer in society.
    We must not increase our cheap tickets, that fans have paid for what 10 years, no matter how much their overheads increase and we must still provide the best budget in the league and play matches on a bowling green quality pitch and cushions for your backside on the seats , molten lava hot water in the toilets ,hand towels made from the best Egyptian cotton. subsidies food at the kiosks , no queue's, double loyalty points blah blah blah.
    Have i missed anything

    I think a fair few will wait to see if we manage to make the playoffs before deciding whether to renew or not. If we somehow unexpectedly manage to guarantee ourselves a place in the playoffs before the last game of the season, the ticket office might be very busy on the 26th April.

    Disappointing news.

    Not sure this is a big enough increase to rid us of the folk who think they support a club called Bradford nicknamed "The Chickens."

    I still think that even with the price increase there won’t be as many fans who don’t renew as people have previously made out.

    It’s been mooted many times previously and it’s never really materialised.

    For me the chance to put season tickets up was last season but it's still a very good price for what the price of football is. It will be interesting to see how many we sell especially if the next few weeks don't go well on the pitch. The youth price seems a bit high with them now needing to go to 16 games to get their value whereas the 3 price brackets above as only 12-13 games. I'd worry that at that age some start to become less interested as they find other things to do and last thing we want to do is to discourage them from attending.
    Looking at some simple maths the rough breakdown of what we'd need to sell:
    • 6,200 adult tickets (7,800 last season)
    • 2,400 senior/Young Person tickets (3,000 last season)
    • 1,000 Youth tickets (1,300 last season)
    • 3,100 junior tickets (2,000 last season)
    Hard to see how we sell over 12,500 unless we go on a miracle run and get into the play offs.

    Well we will buy our four as usual next week, and let's hope for a better season. I was looking at prices for rock concerts last night in Leeds and Sheffield and the standard ticket seems to be around £75 a seat! I am also staggered at how reasonable the pices are in bradford compared to most places. Standard main course in posh but crap Derby "Indian" restaurant last night £22! Not a patch on Bradford or Yorkshire in general for half the price.

    Dont forget giving huge deals to overated shite footballers:(

    Maybe if the recruitment team and the CEO where right then im sure we could comfortably manage on tbe money in from our cheap season tickets.

    Cheap or not our revenue streams from them sales and merchandise will still dwarf a lot of clubs that stand above is in the table.

    My partner and I, as an example purchased tickets for Madness at kirkstall Abbey paying £133.50.
    I wasn't mad on the price but definitely on the act. Something gives, in this case price. Last night I saw Reginald D Hunter and paid a reasonable £52 .
    Flip that to Bradford City, the product certainly ain't great but the price.....it's honestly nowt imo.
