How does that work? Normally season tickets mean average cheaper per game, are they charging less next season then to compensate?

They couldn't just reduce season ticket prices...?

That's my point, guess it's a con somewhere along way to fleece the fans? Not doing it out goodness of their hearts'! Also what happens if promoted?

It appears this is going to be set at least three different levels, so fans attending most games will/should benefit most (something we debated on here recently) :thumbup:

IMHO they can call it what they like (season ticket/membership) but it will amount to the same. The club/owner will somehow benefit financially and and the fans will find a reason to moan when it doesn't play into their own hands! ;)

No different at most clubs these days, but I guess only time will tell :)

From what i can see, its a monthly subscription fee. Seems a bit odd a club would make a move like this? Only time will tell if its a good move for the fans.

You pick your seat like normal and then get charged for whatever zone you're sat in ( between £20 and £50).
It should save money for some adults but people who don't get adult tickets (students) will have to pay £100s extra.
People say the main reason they've done this is to save on staffing costs as some people were going in with child tickets

Pricing been revealed? Seems to be that they'd do something like this to make sure they get as much ticket money as possible if they go up, but can announce cheaper prices if turns out they stay in the Championship.

Doesn't answer question do they have same seat every game? As like said someone ends up losing out regardless ,but not club I suspect
