    We don't need to increase season ticket prices now there is a salary cap.

    Those that have bought season tickets already should be given priority as they are obviously the uber fans,

    Not sure how it can be government led. Please explain?
    Oh and I was ok for a Chelsea ticket but thanks for you’re concern. It was the #millwallticketstubw4nkers that caused scenes

    Most likely you will do. The cap is 40% less than you currently spend but match day revenue will be down atleast 66%. You are likely to be short at your current season ticket prices

    Temporarily....this isn't a permanent thing.

    ST prices aren't rising when we are in a global pandemic. Absolutely no chance and would be a huge own goal.

    'We know you might be out of work and struggling to make ends meet but why not cheer yourself up with a Bradford City season for only £249, just a £100 increase on last season!'

    Because you're devaluing the product.

    Merc are not going to reduce the price of new cars mate. In fact price increase.

    You increase the prices to you need a reduce capacity anyway. Pointless reducing the price when its not at running at full capacity now

    The playing budget is down. So why do we need to increase season ticket prices.

    Might give us some transfer money but the playing budget is covered.

    It was sarcasm. If you think increasing ticket prices (considerably) during a pandemic is wise I wouldn't let you anywhere near commercials, PR, operations.

    It's wise for a number of reason:

    1) Capacity isn't important
    2) Bradford have been devaluing the cost of season ticket for years and need to up the trend now.
    3) We need to limit the amount of fans allowed in anyway, so lets make it those that really want to go will pay.
    4) Increasing the season ticket prices enables to create other packages that Bradford don't do(Not making suggestions).
    5) increasing the prices gives you the option to lower them if you really want when the world is back to normal and it goes back to the capacity method.

    As I say you go to Merc, BMW a Rolex shop and see if if they're discounting. Go to Primark if that's your thing and see if your 2 pound top is 50p...

    Discounting is nonsense!

    More video here of a Danish game. Last I read they were running around 30% capacity without masks but they generally did not fill grounds before and are not reaching new limits now because 40-50% are staying away for whatever reason. (Health, reduced atmosphere, can't sit with friends, can't buy booze, holiday season, whatever.) They sit in chess board fashion with some sections not sold. It looks like adults need a seat between but kids don't. Presumably that can be policed. They've had it like this a couple of weeks so might be able to step up to 50% soon, though it won't make much difference if so many aren't turning up. The real question is when they make the switch back to no spacing.

    Anybody seen what crowd limit they've set for the Charity Shield yet? It seems mad to test with that to me. If it starts to spread again, you will have done it in London. It would make far more sense to trial a full crowd in somewhere more remote like Inverness, and then maybe Aberdeen or similar.

    I would say now of all times is not the time to increase prices

    The only way thats fair to me is sack flexis and say we have 8000 tickets available but once gone thats it till guidelines change

    First come first served.. but an announcement needs making now

    Can you even buy tickets online right now

    I haven't had a season ticket for 2 years but I've already bought 1 for next year.

    It will be interesting to see how they go about allocating things with a reduced capacity.

    Limited capacity is temporary. You make some points I can agree too but the timing is not suitable for drastic change.
