So that's how much higher than Bayern Munich,s season pass ????
Click to expand...

It is a lot lower than a lot of Bayern's prices. Getaway from the standing areas and they are dearer than ours. Bayern only sell a small proportion of their tickets as season passes. Matchday prices are from 46euros to over 70 euros. They charged Arsenal fans £132 in the Champions League.
The cheap tickets in Germany are made possible by large standing areas, which we don't have and are unlikely to as if North Stand was safe standing it would hold about 6,000 compared to 25,000 at Borussia Dortmund. Alcohol is served on the terraces and smoking is allowed. That won't happen here either. Even in the unlikely event it did our fans would be having a nervous breakdown at the thought.
 
Still a reasonable price. Still good value. Will still be used as a way to complain about our owner using childish rhetoric and more emotive bullshit, being passed off as "truth".

Sad.
 
£26 per game makes me think that's fine

Just sounds bad as £500 for season pass.

Guess it depends on spare money fans have or if they have kids etc.

Just hope what ever the increase no one is priced out as we need to increase our support and not decrease it

It is still a bit counter productive given the potential upset against the relatively small increase in revenue in relation to our total income.
A lot of fans suddenly found nearly as much as the cost of a season pass for the 2 Wembley trips so with the amount of time before the season and the ability to pay in instalments it shouldn't be too difficult to,sort out.
 
"Arsenal have both the most expensive season ticket in the Premier league and the highest 'lowest priced' season ticket, making them the most expensive team to watch in the UK.

Out of the newly promoted sides, research also shows that Crystal Palace are cashing in on their new top flight status. Both their cheapest and most expensive season tickets have been increased by just under 20%.

Hull City's most expensive and cheapest priced season tickets have the smallest price difference out of all the teams in the league as they hope to project a 25% increase in crowds over last year in the Championship.

Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea have all frozen season ticket prices for the 2013/14 season.

But what about matchday tickets? At £15 for their cheapest, Newcastle can boast the lowest price. Hull City, West Bromwich Albion, Aston Villa and Fulham all charge £20 for their cheapest tickets. At £41, Chelsea are the most expensive of the 'cheapest' matchday tickets. Data was not available for Crystal Palace and Cardiff City.

At £126 a pop, Arsenal charge by far the highest price for their 'most expensive' matchday tickets. Chelsea follow in second place at £87. Hull City in comparison will only set you back £30.

All the prices for the Premier League 2013/14 clubs can be seen in the table below. Would a rise in price of your team's ticket prices put you off attending matches? We'd love to read your views in the comments below."

They were always going up this season if we survived. I know last seasons prices were frozen, we were paying championship prices, and if I remember correctly, as long as we survived a price hike this season was always on the cards from the minute we got promoted.

Leicester have hiked up their prices to premier league prices upon promotion and some of their season tickets are costing very close to £700.

This really isn't anything unexpected or worthy of much of a grumble.

I suppose it depends if you can afford it or not , Hull has some of the lowest wages in the country

Good luck Party, I've had nothing but the same for 3 years. It's just settled down this year & now there's talk of a takeover.

Unsettling times.

Cheers Ben.

All new for me. At worst I become unemployed, at best I get a job in the new structure on a lower wage.

I wasn't earning well in the first place!

Could do with the renewals being a month or two away to know where I am.

£500 is £26 per game and is hardly extortionate by PL standards.

Maybe you've just been blessed with having prices that were too cheap last season, as opposed to being asked to pay too much for the next one......

Agreed

He claimed that ticket prices would have to significantly increase if we couldn't change the name, that being the case I fully expect the 25-30% price hike to be accompanied by an assurance that the name change is now to be abandoned. I fear I might be disappointed, what do you reckon?

It's expected to be £530 for an adult pass, which is £28 a game.

As you say, it's not bad by Premier League standards, but it's bad if you were paying £21 a game last season.

It's also rather self defeating, as we'll sell less passes, the revenue will be largely unchanged, but we'll have more empty seats.

But the salient point is, that you were paying Championship prices last season as they weren't hiked when you got promoted.

So you've had a years grace in essence.

As for the point about it being self defeating, I don't agree tbh. As even if the number of pass holders does slide slightly (and there's no guarantee that'll happen) then those seats will be available for general sale and will sell for more than £28. It could even be argued that from a business perspective than lowering the number of long standing pass holders to replace them with more 'day trippers' could be advantageous, as it could extend your fanbase and increase your merchandising sales.....................

Very short term view, and misses promises made earlier by the chairman.

The fact others pay extortionate prices for Premier League football is poor justification for everyone getting robbed. Gate receipts are a minor part of income anyway.
 
There are 9 of us that sit in E3 and don't want to sit in the North stand, especially for £500. How are they going to go about allocating new seats.
 
Also, while I'm at it, "we wanted to give a present to the fans of Hull City, football should be like breathing, free" Assam Allam BBC sport 2010.

I assume that those 3 blocks are moving which means if you're a pass holder in there, unless you find a space elsewhere, you'll be in the north stand

im in e1 and love my seat, and the people that are around, I hate behind the goal view an all

but shall have to see

Merchandise sales ? You obviously haven't seen the merchandise or the complete lack or marketing at the club

More 'day trippers' ? the atmosphere is bad enough already
