    They seem expensive to me. I'm very surprised so many people can spend the best part of £550 on watching home games.

    With a chance of getting criticized, theres another 4 more home games? I know its a worse standard, but the clubs costs are the same for a game. I know theres a lot more to it than that, him going against his word etc etc, but there should be some sort of family reduction. The main thing that does miff me off is that the club takes advantage of those who will renew their passes every year, no loyalty. Infact sod it Allam out!

    The other thing that will seriously heave me off is the fact when the club realises there is only going to be an average attendence of 12-15k then they start putting offers on and incentives, and I know for a fact half season tickets will be about for 200 quid.

    There was never going to be a situation where they'd refund anyone who'd already bought a pass, so I never expected a decent reduction.

    I think it's far, far too expensive, and based on recent form, we won't get 3 home cup games anyway, so that's an empty gesture.

    I'd be interested to see other Championship prices.

    Does this price grant you the privilege of another vote in another bent ballot? It's not clear.

    Quite simply, they couldn't have done any less for fans.

    It's £1212 for me and my wife to renew and with all the name change fiasco and various other ongoing issues, I'm just not prepared to make that sort of commitment.

    I'll probably be there for most home games next season but I'll have a choice and presumably a safe bet of getting a ticket. If we're going well and attendances get to a point where I think I might struggle to get tickets for certain games I may consider a half season pass.

    This way I can probably opt to take in more away days too, so it's not really too difficult a decision to make.

    They were never going to give cash back but I was expecting either a voucher for the home shirt or tickets to cup games - they went with the latter.

    There aren't four more games than there were the last time we were in the Championship and the cost of an East Stand pass has increased by 37% since then.

    That's almost £24 a game, meaning that a matchday ticket for next season is likely to average about £28.

    Doesn't say home cup matches "this season" so I assume it's open ended until we actually have 3. I'm happy with that. My pass is approximately £4.86 a game cheaper now we are in the Championship and I get 3 free cup games. Thank you City.

    The only slight negative is I take a young lad who won't be able to go to League Cup games on a weeknight but his pass is dirt cheap anyway.

    That's ****ing expensive for a champo season ticket, even for a southern team, but for City, that's batshit crazy. Expect ave attendances in the 16-17k region at best next year

    The renewals by the cut-off date were 9,500 as I suggested on the other thread last week.

    They'd be better off selling 15,000 passes at less than £500 and improving matchday prices to try and get the numbers up during the season, rather than screwing as much as they can from those who have renewed.

    The 'free' cup tickets have at least guaranteed a decent gate for the first couple of rounds of the League Cup if we're
    a) drawn at home and
    b) get through

    Leeds United cheapest pass £398 - Hull City cheapest pass £531.

    Leeds United most expensive pass £537 - Hull City most expensive £606.

    And we used to laugh at them trying to get Premier League prices in the Championship...

    If the same category A B C system is used again say they cost £20/£30/£35 a game. It might mean people have a pick and choose season again

    They'll still shaft every team by charging nearly 40 quid for an away ticket

    Only if they shaft us for £40 a ticket as well, you have to charge the away fans the same as the home fans.
