Ticket prices far too expensive ,club have made a boo boo

20 quid an adult and 5 quid a kid would see the ground sell out most weeks.

Agree , as for people going on about buying season tickets, i dont want to go to every match, ive got other interest like watching my boy play football i wont be paying 40 quid

Those prices were available in March by purchasing a season ticket!

which I fully took advantage of. however at the moment I am in a good place and am able to afford to pay for a season ticket. however not everyone can afford to do that, or cant get every weekend off work to watch the footy.

Boo hoo. We can't all afford what we want in life.

Fact of the matter is the club have some of the cheapest tickets in the league.

Your a nasty piece of work, show some compassion.

The Flexi tickets sound like they'd be good for you if you haven't checked them out

The issue is the league we are in. Championship we had good deals but not in this league. If we go down then some fans will be able to afford it again. Premier league is like a posh restaurant. Championship is like weatherspoobs. The club has tried hard to look after the fans that bought before promotion. They are trying

We're actually one of the top 20 clubs in the country at the moment (and, of course, No.1 in Wales) so that makes us a 'big' club in most peoples eyes...

The figures mentioned in the OP (not by Paul himself) are incorrect and at £31 are more than comparable with other Premier League clubs; they are also cheaper than a night out the theatre and (with popcorn and drinks) the cinema

I guess people need to make up their minds what they want to do but buying a season ticket would have saved a packet over the season, always assuming they are committed to the club and not (some of) the other teams coming to the CCS

As always, some will use ANY excuse not to attend and then say it's not down to them!

Simple - Buy your tickets early.

What about the flex ticket option. Doesn’t that reduce the cost without the long term commitment?

The club have got it spot on! Why should they lower the prices to benefit fans who couldn’t be bothered to watch us in the Championship last season?

And yet for the first home game back in the prem we didn't fill the ground

I bet it'll be full for Man U, Man city, Liverpool, Spurs, Chelsea, Arsenal and maybe more non televised games. And the tickets will be more expensive.

Maybe the tickets are not cheap enough for the average working person. But where were these fans when they were a fiver or a tenner? Being picky that's where.

what a strange way of looking at it......
i had a ST when there were only 2k ST holders..i cant in my wildest dreams imagine thinking like you do..
the more the merrier

What are we looking like in the premier league attendance table?

I think we are 4th lowest home support so far, but not every club has played at home yet, so I believe we will go higher up the table

So you don’t think loyal fans should be rewarded? I think the club have done well. One of the cheapest teams in the premier league to watch and the flex 5 package the club has offered (and are still offering) brings the price down for people who can’t afford/commit to a season ticket.

People who moaned because ST prices went up after the Reading game deserve to pay more in my opinion. If the deciding factor to get a ST was whether we got promoted or not, then that is there own fault and people who got one regardless should be rewarded with lower prices. It’s simple, supply and demand.

Caraboa cup next week.
£8 adults £5 16-21 £3 under 16.

Superb prices , wonder how many we will get based on the low prices based on this thread

Already purchased mine.

Its not £8 tho.its £10 plus another couple of quid booking fees etc,£12 on the night,still cheap mind,but not £8,like these mythical £25 tickets.

Only £10 , £2 booking fee.

Just out of interest what’s the booking fee for?

Just an excuse to pull another £2 out of me I think.

Yep,pretty much,like the premium rate ticket office phone number, rip off.Everyone adds a booking/handling fee,its just robbery

no i dont think loyal fans should be rewarded..im a fan who has bought STs some seasons knowing id miss most games..i support the club not the other way around..my idea of being rewarded has been to watch my club climb the divisions with more and more people who once only had a passing interest become ST holders and attendances grow..
as for the moaning..tbh ive not seen any and im not sure why people keep pretending there is. a couple of people have told me they would have bought one had the prices remained low but thats not moaning .the people who have said things on here are generally long term ST holders that think its an opporunity lost and who dont understand the obsession with being REWARDED and actually putting this ficticious reward over being in a full stadium...how on earth can anyone sit there looking at 3k empty seats that could be full and be pleased or feel rewarded..?
have to say for somone like myself who has spent his life encouraging anyone and everyone to come along these loyal / feel reward/its THIER FAULT posts are guttting...
btw stating price increase is due to supply and demand only works when the demand bit is far greater than what we are witnessing selling only 50% of available STs at the increased price is not getting it right......and for what..? even had the club sold those inflated 2k STs it would amount to 0.5% of this years turn over..
they have not so have lost out by it..
as for the 8 to 10k new ST holders this year who jumped in at a lower price , whats the incentive to buy next year when its already clear you can pick and choose games....whats happened here actually flies in the face of every and any supply and demand model you can come up with.. a stadium opperating at 60% or les even when giving tickets for a fiver increases prices..?

FYI the ticket office number begins 03 now

There’s a lot of fan snobbery going on here, an us and them (Johnny come lately, glory hunters etc) mentality. I find it very disturbing and an unhealthy way of thinking, especially towards fans who are struggling cash wise.
Most have a cashflow problem from time to time so give them a helping hand, point them in the direction of cheaper tickets etc, BUT please don’t look down your nostrils at someone less fortunate than yourself, it’s negative(and comes from posters who demand positivity at the moment) and unhealthy, and could be you one day. As the poster dogfound pointed out "the more the merrier".

I’ve personally spoken to people and read online people having a moan about the increase in prices. Some have accepted it and got one and some haven’t bothered. So it did happen.

Any team promoted to the prem will see an increase in demand for ST and an increase in prices. That’s pretty standard. I highly doubt any club has decreased their prices for new fans regardless of their average attendance. A price freeze for returning ST holders is a fair reward I think.

We had a 60% stadium attendance last season, that won’t drop much below 90% this season for league games. Hence the increase in ticket prices. If that isn’t supply and demand I don’t know what is.

Back to the OP, people have plenty of opportunities to get cheaper tickets. If you don’t get a ST or the flex 5 package you can still get tickets for £30 if you get them early. Obviously the longer you wait the more expensive the seats that are available will be.

It’s not snobbery at all. I want to see the ground full just as much as the next city fan. But dismissing fans who has been a ST holders for years just to fill the ground with people who have decided to watch us because we are in the prem is not the way to go. Those fans don’t stick around if we get relegated. Like what happened last time we were in the prem.
