I know it's a bit early to be asking this but other teams are bringing their season tickets out for next season. Does anyone have any idea when we will bring ours out and how much do you think they will be?

I can justify buying one at that price but not if they cost anymore. After that I can justify travelling up for games becasue I already have a ticket. Including away games I've seen more games this season than in the two previous seasons in total. |

Does anyone have any idea when we will bring ours out and how much do you think they will be? Since Dean is from the pile em high, sell em cheap side of business, I doubt very much that they will be more than £150, especially so in the current financial climate. |

They will probably be between 200-250 which is very reasonable. Bradford are doing another cut price offer but I really hope we dont go down this road. Whether they stay down again this season(every chance) or come up, they will have bugger all to spend on players or wages and will continue to struggle until they have some substantial season ticket income.
Hoyle will want to put as much into the club as possible so he needs extra revenue to do that and that is where we come in. I dont want to see us back to the days of getting 4 or 5 crappy free transfers in to replace the crap we've got rid of and i'm sure Hoyle doesn't either. We are quite literally on a different planet to Bradford now and it is only a matter of time before the gulf becomes bigger. Long may that continue but for it to dos o, i'm afraid we will have to delve a little deeper.

My mate who bought a ticket this season because they were cheap and has no interest in football said he would pay no more than £150 next time.
I think there will be thousands of people like him

Sustaining cheap season ticket prices year on year will devalue the club. We are just going to have to agree to disagree. I don't believe that cheap season tickets devalue the club. Season tickets for Barcelona only cost just over 100 quid. Do you think Barcelona has been devalued by selling cheap season tickets; mind you they do have 98000 seats. I think that the club is devalued more by having a half empty stadium and what would it look like having sold 16000 season tickets this year if we go back to having 7000 or 8000 next year. There's not a lot of money about and for a lot of people season tickets are a luxury. I predict that there will be a big falling off of attendances at football matches next year at all clubs, if they prices don't come down. I think Dean Hoyle understands that very well. I'll bet that sales in his shops are going up, because people are looking to save money and are trading down. |

We are in the early days of the worst recession since the 1920's and everyone I know are watching there cash flow. One or two are even unemployed now.
To attract sales for next season the pricing structure is going have to been attractively priced to encourage a majority to renew. Other clubs are reducing ST prices including a fabulous kids for a quid offer at Sunderland.
I've had ST's for 8 seasons now but as my kids are going to be 14 and 16 respectively when the new season starts, I have already budgeted to a maximum of £300 (for all three tickets) and will seriously consider Championship potential winning season or not whether anything over that is value for money or better spent else were.
I'm not being a cheapskate but being cautious on cash outgoings is good housekeeping and reduces the risk of future cash flow problems as the recession bites further into the economy.
I would say that 85% of people I talk to are all shopping around for solid, value for money deals on most household requirements and entertainment.
Mr. Hoyle has a tough decision to make.
Mine's simple!! Affordable = Sales, Expensive = seek alternative source.

The only companies that are holding there value at the moment are Receivers, Legal Firms and companies that manufacture/supply cheap goods/food/drink. |

i'd probably say £150-175........not too expensive,not a major increase over this season (but lets be fair they were only £100 this season cos it was our centenary,any other season they'd have probably been cheaper than normal,but not £100) and i'd reckon at those prices (plus obviously cheaper for students/oaps/youngsters) we should still sell a minimum of 10k season tickets

I think one thing that will be included in most peoples budgets as an almost 'must have' is the season ticket. Its alot easier to not go to the cinema,theatre,bowling alley etc than it is to not go to the football. I think the biggest drop at the football will be in away games, replica shirts etc rather than the actual games themselves. I think Hoyle will find a happy medium to please most people and hopefully their pockets as he can see the opportunity that is building at some pace with Town at the moment and its one that may take decades to get again. We have certainly been spoilt this season(in monetary terms)and his background in business is 'more for less' so we will see his philosophy when it comes to season tickets for next season in due course. |

Don't know if any English clubs do it atm, but last I heard in Germany they categorise the unemployed with students and oaps, so I'd do that - those that can afford it pay the same rates as the year before last, those that can't, well, they get a reduction. Simple.

I don't think there are that many in today's economic climate that can't be arsed getting work. England's too expensive to be on the dole, anyway. |

£200-£250, depending on what part of the ground you sit in, seems reasonable to me.

Hoyle already hinted that next year's prices will "begin with a 2", at that Heavy Woollen meeting last week/week before.
If anyone can be arsed to search for it, it was mentioned in a thread the next day. The one where DH supposedly told those in attendance to keep shtum about what was said.

You seemed a bit fixated on the people who can't be arsed, while I would say the vast majority are in that shitty situation through no fault of their own. You could argue why should a handful of well-off pensioners and rich students get discount even though they wouldn't financially need to. It would be daft to start catergorising the various categories otherwise we'd be here all day - I can see it now pensioners (or students) with an income over a certain amount have to pay the same rates as everybody else. Wouldn't go down too well either would it? So I reckon it evens itself out at the end of the day. |
