Season tickets 25/26

[White horse]

The early bird prices are out and again great value. It's a bit of an overly complicated pricing system but the bottom line is that there are about 800 tickets available at the lowest price of £259. The highest price is £379 in the top tiers. . Bolton fans have until 22nd March to renew then it goes up. Any other season tickets already on sale ?

Our's were, I think, the sixth most expensive in the whole of the Football League, and they won't be getting cheaper any time soon, especially with impending redevelopment work.

Yes, it's probably because of the size of your stadium. If say it held 20,000 they could possibly do them cheaper. Same with Blackpool. Preston and Blackburn are reasonably cheap as wll, especially for Championship football as their grounds are too big for them.

6,000 ST's sold so far since going on sale last week.

Doubt we'll start until April.
Most fans will want to know where we are playing, £430 for League Two football might be a bit much

Our CEO said at an online fans meeting the other night ours are going up to £415, a jump from £399 (or £375 for the early birds) no matter what league we're in. Doesn't say when they're on sale yet. Match day tickets also set to increase to £27. Randomly we've also introduced a new ticketing system this week, so away tickets for Exeter tomorrow and Birmingham in 3 weeks time can't be bought online yet.

He also said we've got 4 budgets for next year:
- league 1 with takeover
- league 1 no takeover
- league 2 with takeover
- league 2 no takeover

Ticket prices are going to have to go up as the current chairman doesn't want to fund losses now (he is 82 and longest serving EFL chairman) and there is a drive to become more sustainable again

Ours are £419 for renewals and £442 for newbies.
5% price increase on last season

Just an update on ours, following the supporters meeting last week, early bird prices are going to be £400 not £415

I know it's only a tiny amount but that £15 saving will probably swing it for a lot of maybe's. It's like the £30 for a League 1 matchday ticket but they pay £29 without hardly any complaint (well begrudgingly).

20 is plenty for 3rd division football.
Prices are bad enough in this division, some of ticket prices in the championship are just crazy, all chasing the dream...
We'd sold 1000 by Friday

 

[Pilot_Phonic]

I've heard ours are going to be £500, which is 25% increase for the Mold Road Stand. Depends on what division we're in.

I think there will be a lot of people waiting to see if the prospective takeover happens. There's a growing groundswell of discontent towards the chairman, who doesn't have the funds to keep putting money in. Our CEO has already said the early bird money is likely to go towards the cash flow for the end of the season.

20 is plenty at this level, but unfortunately it doesn't give you the cash to compete without a wealthy backer unless wages come down

 

[denzel ecfc]

Yeah unfortunately if you're charging 20 then it doesn't guarantee you say 50% more fans than if you charge 30, so it doesn't pay off.
I don't mind paying 25, compare that to the cost of gigs these days.

Absolutely. No complaints from me. I regularly go and watch Ice Hockey and that's £25 a ticket.

It's wages that's pushing up ticket prices, so clubs can compete for players
Our fanzone vendors put their prices up in the new year too.
I went to watch our local non league side Lincoln United, did the afternoon for more or less the price of a league one ticket.
Plenty of drama, late penalty winner for them, 2 sending offs, oppo digging up the penalty spot, bit of a dust up, o and their manager trying to abandon the game after the penalty was scored.
