How will the season tickets for next year be distributed, is there any priority system, or first come first served, will they sell out?
I don't know how many they make available, but I would guess that if someone wants one, they should be given one. They don't normally go on sale until the summer and I think last year current holders had 2-3 weeks to renew then they went on general sale. Will be interesting to see how much they'll go up by. Are we getting the new card tickets next season or are they putting in the new system next season for new tickets the season after??
I'm doubting buying one next year, this year was too steep for me and my family so next year I'm not sure I'll be able to afford
Shoot me down if you like, but if there is to be a significant hike it should be passed on to new ST applications not renewals.
I think that's fair enough, you should be rewarded for your loyalty and sticking with the club through the last few years.
I just hope that every body started saving some time ago and expected to pay more for next season than they paid for this. No excuse for moaners. We all know Nicola doesn't like deferred payments and we all know we must pay more. If you haven't planned ahead don't expect any sympathy. I expect an ordinary season ticket for the centre of Kingsland to about £680 to £720 and obviously just a little less for a sad old git like me. I am going to do a Pompey and buy my ticket and forget to settle my tax bill. (That should teach those tory barstewards not to dip their hands into my wallet to line the pockets of their rich mates). After I have gone into administration I will only have to pay 20p in the pound so my season ticket on that basis should cost me about £100. If football clubs can get away with it why not fans.
The new ticketing system should allow the re-introduction of installment payments. Remember the reason for withdrawing the facility was because people stopped there payments for whatever reason and could still get in the ground with the season ticket book.
I'd be amazed if there wasn't a priority window for current season holders. Gives us time to get our hands on our current seat again, before they go on general sale. No reason to change this. Whether or not renewals will be cheaper however, I don't know. I'm certainly not expecting or demanding a nice little discount though, as nice as it would be on my bank account.
Usually renewals get a discount and quite right too. Unfortunately, there will be a sizable price hike...if you want a PL team you have to pay for it. We're currently running at a loss (as expected so don't jump on me) and Nicola will want that rectified ASAP.
I know we're under a different regime but when we 'left' the prem we were told same price but you get 4 extra matches! Will the opposite be true under Cortese? With the added revenue from Sky etc, assuming promotion, like to think they'd encourage attendance and atmosphere over abusing the fans commitment. Also in today's economic climate there's a limit to what can be justified.
Readings most expensive season ticket for next season, £400! http://www.readingfc.co.uk/page/SeasonTickets/0,,10306~2614291,00.html
I would expect a 20% hike in prices. New applicants have to pay a higher price, similar to a joining fee at a health club or whatever.
I don't care how much really. I'll be struggling to afford, but will make sure something else gets sacrificed. I understand that the Premier League brings a whole new pricing policy and I don't care what other clubs pay. I will be scrimping, saving and sacrificing to make sure I get one. Fingers crossed I can re-new ok. PS. If the leap is huge, please no-one p[ost on here incase the wife looks over my shoulder at the wrong time..... I can feel a "wow, they've stayed loyal to the exisitng ST holders and held the prices" little, white fib coming on
The club match day pricing for adults is currently. Centre £32 Goal £29 Family £25 I can't see this rise by much regardless of which league we're in. I think a max of £35 so times 19 and you're looking at a maximum price point of £665 to go to every game without a season ticket. To sell season tickets it has to be worthwhile, so the discount could be paying at last season price of £32 so that will be £608. Renewals usually get a further discount again, so might be £30 a game, £570. Not too bad for the dearest seat. On this logic a family centre renewal could be around £475. We will soon find out, but I think that's a fair and logical way to work it out.
I don't know if this is being naive, but surely they should not increase the charges, as there will be 8 matches less to watch, meaning a decrease of around 15%. If they were to increase the ticket price by that amount, I would consider that to be sufficient, without the decrease in matches. Therefore, in theory, there should be no change!
Christ Godders, I sit Kingsland centre. I paid £426 last season, £515 this season - there's no way they'd increase it that much for next season would they?!?!?!?! If they do, I wouldn't expect decent-sized crowds at that price.
I would. Last time we were there, to see a Gold game, an Adult ticket there was £34 I believe so I would say for the top games £40 will be introduced, £36 for lesser games and the **** games £32.
I had a stab at what I think a single matchday ticket would cost and I would guess about £38. Multiply that by 19 games = £742 take off one match ticket as an incentive 742 - 38 = £714. If you bring it in at under £700 it will not look so bad so make it £680. I bet I wont be far wrong. Will I mind paying it? It will hurt like hell but I don't want to go into the PL and become cannon fodder nor do I want us to get into a financial mess. So I will go without somethings to find the money although I will get a conssession it will still be a lot of money to find.
