I'm 99% sure it's for 26/27 season tickets. Didn't Sparks say at the fans forum that buying the ground back isn't even being discussed? Or something on those lines?

Season tickets with another rise is my guess. Another £50 on top maybe?

 

Are there any other 25 year ST holders on here that knows when the deal ends? Is there 1 more season left or is that it now?

 

I thought this was our last season, hopefully I’m wrong!

 

Well it started in 2001 so this is the 25th year but I think they added a year on when we went into admin and had to buy at full price.

 

Surely it’s related to ST’s. Some other clubs have already started selling theirs. Bolton have sold 15000 already.
I think you’re right that there will be a £50 increase even for early bird prices and the carrot of championship footy will surely mean most will renew especially if the set the seat retention date before we know which division we are in.

 

With the noise on Mbanq and the supporters trust notes saying something like it's bigger than any sponsorship deal the club has ever seen before tells me we're likely to see Mbanq on the kit and maybe the stadium, at least one of the two if not both. But we'd probably have to wait until May maybe June to announce that contractually, there will probably be something in the existing deals saying we cant announce the next companies until a certain date legally unless it's agreed with all parties.

Avoiding something like Blackburn who were rushing into announcing they are moving on from Macron (lucky bastards) to join Castore/Umbro far too early, and Macron are taking legal action against them for breaking their agreement over the next steps process.

 

It would mean £100 of price rises since the 23/24 season but that's the ever inflating world i suppose.

 

I think that equates to £4.34 per match increase.. not too bad over 2 seasons I suppose, especially when you consider the dogs raised their most expensive option by £7.39 per match this season alone and are expecting another 3% increase next season.

 

What’s the feasibility of us introducing tiered pricing? Seems odd that a seat bang on the half way line in the main stand is the same price as a seat in upper kop row zz.

Promotion to the championship will see demand soar and there’s very little left as it stands.
Maybe it’s the right time to put a premium on the best seats to stop them being hoarded and often left empty.

 

But you can still get them with vouchers from T&A according to Dog Botherers.

 

I've been working on the assumption that this is the final year. I think I recall that was referenced in the renewal comms last year but I may be wrong about that.

 

have we had any price freezes, even for early bird.

like mentioned earlier another £50 would mean £100 in two years about im sure its been jumping £30/£50 a year for a good 5 years or so

 

Times that by a few for a family, and it becomes quite significant.
Still very good value mind, but it’s not to be assumed it doesn’t enter the realms of making it less affordable

 

Early bird price this season was £299 or £13 per game which is great value and means attending just 12 games gives a saving.
The full price this year was £399 so can we expect that to be next years early bird price? Meaning someone would need to attend 16 games to make buying a ST worthwhile.

 

The affordable football mantra was something we peddled off the back of the £149 season tickets, literally giving them away. Unfortunately football, like everything else, has seen massive price hikes in everyday operating costs. Even with a £50 increase, and in the position we are now from where we were with the £149 tickets, the season ticket costs are still on the low end when looking at the rest of football and are still good value for money. A season ticket at the bulls works out a similar price but for a lot less games.

 

you mean enter the 21st Century?

 

What does it matter which seat is empty? The attendance is the same either way.
