Be curious to see if the club try to push match day ticket office sales to the new stand, but I'm not even sure how they could really manage that without charging much less per game than what the current season ticket holders will be paying up there (was it £580 or was it higher?). Either way, if I was a season ticket holder on that stand, I'd be keeping an eye on how much the club are charging people to sit there each week, personally.


Because City have increased the price of season tickets, match day tickets are going to be expensive for Championship football and that worries me.


worries me too.............i honestly thought they might have made an adjustment to price, i might be wrong,but dont think it would have cost a lot to lower the price and do refunds to those already bought.....id have thought the vast majority are on price freeze anyway



City got this one wrong big time in my opinion, South Wales is not a rich area and it is Championship football.


do you have any idea what the breakdown of STs is.......price freeze..and full price.......i cant imagine much more than 2000 at full price, might be wrong........but a 50 quid refund to 2000 people is £100,000........that would give the club a bit of lee way for match days



I dont, I just know by the end of May it was 14,000 including Premier Seats, but you never know in June more sales? we had new signings.


From what I'm hearing sales are slow, the level 4 premier club have lost a lot of members. The increase for myself is around £160 after I have my age discount. (not available before on original contract) had it not been for the discount it would have been £350 ish. Also as an original member (paid a joining fee of (£1400) I get 4 free tickets as a compromise of sorts. Not
happy but I was aware the original contract was over 5 yrs so cant really complain. I do my level best to look at it from all sides and having supported the club for over 60 yrs I wont stop until I cant make it. I will say that in fairness to the Club
Tan kept his word with the price freeze when people were concerned he wouldn't. I'm not all together convinced the color has cost that many renewals, its relegation and the cost, I would say 70% at least. Good start (up to OGS) to get it right and I think things could pick up, I hope so as success on the field will bring the missing fans back. We certainly have an interesting season ahead of us. Its for sure the first time in a couple of years our season tickets are going to be well South of 20.000.

Good post.

Id say 18,000 will be the final figure, maybe a walk up of 3,000. Although i assume match day prices also have to astronomical to justify the ST price.

Is that the post where they tried to make out that gomis had never scored 20 goals in a season and then it transpired he did with 25 last season and 22 the year before chubs? Or that we wouldnt offer gomis a massive signing on fee like i said and then it gets reported everywhere that its exactly what we did? :laughing6:

Owned indeed :laughing6:

Roath Magic, its pretty obvious your just a user name that has been created for cause and effect.

Your not a Swansea fan, I've known that from day one, afterall what Swansea fan in there right mind would post on a Cardiff City forum almost 7 days a week all day long.

I suppose your role is similar to that of a Radio Phone in show whereby 90% of callers are actors which are conterversial to generate a decent debate.

Unfortunatley, when you start insulting fellow posters with personal insult's it becomes tiresome and I think its time you created another user name.

Nothing wrong with my posts. But seems one rule for one and another for another. If the reason I was banned was for 'ruining the forum' what we are hearing is that people are leaving in their droves because of you, even I mostly skip threads where i see you posting as it's mostly uninformed inane drivel. But hey forum rules, guess they're not worth the paper they're written on. Now where have I heard that phrase before???? ;-)

You follow people around trolling them though similar to what wez and soulofthesea do.

I speak complete sense which is about 99.9% of the time proved to be correct. There is a difference.

How many ST's have been sold?

This is the last year of the price freeze yes? I think attendance fanatics will be shuddering should you fail to be promoted this year .

I don't know about the price freeze, I don't know about the season tickets..
But I do know Cardiff fans.. If the club is doing well,the attendances will be up.
If they are doing shit.... You get the picture.. :bluescarf:

I think you mean guerra. The fact ive been on here giving my opinions and thoughts for 3 years and you only bring up ome thing which was clearly an opinion based guess which i quite amusingly held my hands up to says it all. :laughing6:

You follow certain people around, no denying that. Trolling is subjective i guess but id say the fact you follow in the first olace quantifies that, but thats just me.

Called me a paedo and said I thought (something like) young girls deserve to be abused because of the way they dressed.

He is still here, and all threads have been deleted, delete threads rather than warn ONE poster over comments and behaviour. Shocking.

I'll probably get banned soon as it's easier to ban me for doing no wrong than it is to give Roathy a warning he actually deserves.
