My comment on the North Stand was only me drawing a conclusion.
The rest of the comments were from as reliable a source as you could get.

Under 13's free, great, even more unnocupied seats that people won't be able to buy 'one off' tickets for. Not everyone gets kids tickets cos there cheap/free. My 11 year old nephew has been to every home game this season and a couple away. I don't doubt it, but don't tell me that the problem with the unnocupied seats is acceptable. Making them free to U13's would make it even worse.

What were "normal" prices season before last---cant recall £295 for Antich adult. So the same for Fantastic Media. A bit more for DG lower and a bit more still for DG upper.

I wouldn't increase them to 'normal' prices less a bit. But decent idea for the fm stand.
Gradual increase would have been more logical imo to retain more fans longer term- although I thought £100 was a wonderful gesture but too low from an economic sustainability p.o.v- I wouldn't have been quite as generous and had them at £199, increasing to £249 this year. We wouldn't have had as manay season ticket holders, but kept more of the newer ones.

If the FM upper is going to be cheaper I hope they are going to no longer have it as the family stand. Would be quite good if Cowshed Loyal could take over the FM lower and some of the folk who like to have a bit of a sing from the Antich and DG stands could be in the FM upper. I'd stay up there then as I like the view, just not the atmosphere.
The family section could be relocated to the DG Lower north or even DG upper if they stopped charging a premium for going up there.

Totally agree specialun - to go back to "normal" prices in the current economic climate and after what has been a disappointing season would be two steps forward one step back. We need to keep hold of as many season ticket holders as possible - maybe a £200 price for 09-10 with an increase to £250 the year after if bought at xmas time (as bradford have done to incentivise fans and bolster cashflow) and £300 if bought at normal time. Its a difficult one for Deano to judge as ultimately the club has to be self-financing long term, but has to manage fan expectation and the need to move onwards and upwards. Only time will tell, but i have no doubt my account will be debited for whatever sum is demanded!!

Free tickets could be allocated as unreserved and given only in the FM stand! This would free up seats for the bigger games.
