' Next Season, Cardiff City Season Tickets '

Cardiff City have currently nearly 10,000 Season tickets, but nearly 13,000 down from less than 2 years ago.

City realise there could be another drastic drop and Board members/City officials/Ticket office etc have held severel meetings.

It is believed City realise the kids are our future and special deals are being put forward to keep our current kids and get more on board.

Plans are well under way,but have not been finalised by Tan yet.


My View, It should be £50 anywhere in the ground for under 16's,City have nothing to loose as we have 20,000 empty seats anyway. We need to keep the kids following Cardiff City.

They forgot the main thing :sleepy2:

They got to keep the Dads on side as without them kids got no money, can't go on there own etc.

Be interesting to see what happens if it stays the same! It's a crying shame as we should be doing very well under a rich owner but every turn is the wrong one :digging2:

If I take my kids to watch something - which they find intensely boring, and I keep taking them there - after a while they will simply either not want to go - or will go - and not be interested in watching, so I am wasting my HARD EARNED money. When I could spend it on taking them white water rafting, ice skating, swimming, 10 pin bowling, climbing, trampolining or the cinema etc etc

Why on earth would I commit my money to watch what is on offer by Slade and his staff - just so my kids will not enjoy themselves.

I am a current season ticket holder plus 2 kids - I wont renew next season if the current 'product' remains the same - as it is not worth the money, or the wasted time and effort I put in - into going.

150 for adults and 50 kids

And if we ever get promoted it should be in blood that prices will not increase .

Yes kids are the future, but as 'Pulisnewport' says: without parents going kids cannot go themselves!

They also need to remember that those who don't have kids now, may do in the future, and if they stop going now, why would they go back with a child?

You can't focus on one group of fans with these deals, it just annoys those who are left out, and the despondency grows.

We should have a big discount for the early bookers, but my one request is a set Kids price anywhere in the ground when bought with an adult or senior season ticket.

Two season ago i moved from the family to the Ninian but this season (i guessed it was going to be poor) i went back to the family because it was hundreds of pounds cheaper. If there was a set price i would go to the Ninian.

I'm on the U21 price and even I am thinking of not renewing this year, another price drop required or I won't renew and will just buy as and when as there doesn't seem to be much price difference.

Re: ' Next Season, Cardiff City Season Tickets '

Thu Jan 14, 2016 12:36 pm

I'm one of the deluded and will renew whatever in the farcical hope that things will get better. Even if they don't I'll stick by the club because that is what a loyal fan does.

With so many empty seats it is a no brainer that kids tickets should be given a heavy discount & Annis suggestions of £50 a child season ticket anywhere in the stadium should become the standard.

Re: ' Next Season, Cardiff City Season Tickets '

I will only renew my ticket next season, I have two kids tickets that neither of them will be renewed :bluebird:

Only one man can make that decision. No need for him to hold a meeting with himself. :thumbup:

I completely agree with that. Im in the same boat.

I have been a season ticket holder for only 2 seasons with my 11 year old son.

Im not going to renew unless something happens. Certainly not going to renew if Slade remains as manager.

I've got better things to spend my time and money on than watching the utter rubbish served up by Slade.

The club is a total shambles from Tan down. Sorry but enough is enough for me.

I have respect for the die hards but for me, I just want quality time with my son. Plenty of other things to do in Cardiff than watch terrible football from a manager with no clue, passion or ambition.

Tony, its a must that City charge all Under 16's, £50 anywhere in the ground.
City's board have been told you must act now.
We have 20,000 empty seats.

Brilliant :-). I'm always for new supporters and anything that can be done to help increase our current situation. Would all these new supporters get slated by idiots who call them plastics, fair weather fans or bandwagon jumpers??? This too is another reason why we don't see many new faces at the minute.

They'll have to drop prices dramatically if they want to keep fans around.

Re: ' Next Season, Cardiff City Season Tickets '

Thu Jan 14, 2016 5:30 pm

Not renewing season ticket next season. Main reason Nukes is leaving the Nuclear industry in March and I need to adjust to a new way of life. Will still go but will pick and choose my matches. The sad thing is I enjoy the time with the Lads before the game but hate the actual experience in the stadium. It's not what I remember at Ninian Park. My number 1 interest is now the gym as it was 18 years ago. But I will not be a stranger and I know if things change I will fall back in love with the City but at the moment I can take it or leave it.

Re: ' Next Season, Cardiff City Season Tickets '

Thu Jan 14, 2016 5:58 pm

The price will be a major factor into me deciding whether to renew or not. I'm half tempted to just get an away membership though. Away games are 10000 times more enjoyable than the home games. At least waking up in the mornings on matchday doesn't feel like a chore when we play away at the moment :oops:

Slade needs to go, the players need a boot up the backside and the price of tickets needs to decrease.

Re: ' Next Season, Cardiff City Season Tickets '

Wont be renewing, reason being im missing to many games at the moment, struggle to get to evening games and we have had 5 this season with another to come against Leeds and another if ipswich beat pompey and then bournouth.

Add a game missed as on holiday and always miss one or two through things coming up doesnt seem worth it especialy as I dont realy need to secure my seat anymore.

Going to put the extra 400 quid odd I would usualy pay out in February towards my trip to France.

If I dont end up spending to much in France and my circumstances change (job) I might get one last minute

Should give us this season free lol after some of the performances.
Honestly i will be there but will be there with new hope if we change Slade for someone who will get our team playing for thevshirt again.

Great that will finish off the last of the long term old style supporters, who wants a stadium full of women and kids ???

Probably the final nail in the coffin for most !!!

Last one out turn off the light bulb !!!

Emailed them before this season started asking about them maybe doing weekend tickets too for fans that are not local, they never replied.
