Weren't the last lot of Championship season tickets £100? They won't be anywhere near that next season, I wouldn't have thought. That alone will put a good few off. No, nothing like. That was the price paid by some of us for last season's first go at the Greedy League. Ah, sorry, think I'm going senile 😁😁 |

Are they out yet? I'll be getting ours sorted toot sweet. They'll probably still be significantly cheaper than most other clubs to boot, get in! Problem is there are many on here who do not appreciate how spoilt we are compared to fans of other Clubs with regard to season ticket prices. I recall lots moaning on here this year and a few high profile (pardon the pun cissystrutts ) from a few claiming they will refuse to buy. I dread to imagine how much the likes of riptide will have to pay in the unlikely event their team gets promoted. Let 'em moan if makes them feel better! There are quite a few new names pop up on here coinciding with our downtown on the pitch. I've faith they'll soon disappear when when pick up again.....which we will!! |

Not sleepwalking into relegation; it's a headlong charge! Expect us to lose the next five games and that will coincide with release of new season cards. With relegation almost certain, the demand will naturally drop off. Couple that with the loss in expected revenue due to tumbling out of the EPL and DH will therefore be unable to subsidise the cost. The number of home games will rise from 19 to 23 and even though it will be a poorer standard of football on view (if that is at all possible!) the price will have to go up, thereby driving even more fans away. All of which points to very lean times ahead. 🤔 If Hoyle could subsidise season tickets the season we got promoted, with an extra couple of million quid in money from players and TV, why can’t we subsidise them with tens of millions in parachute payments and the likely £30m+ we’ll get from selling Mooy, Billing etc? You used to be fairly level headed but seem to have got very pessimistic recently. Keep the faith, things look bleak on the pitch and with our recent transfers but the situation will improve, even if we’re in a lower division. Things have been far bleaker than this even if we’re on pretty much our worst ever stretch of results. He was effectively subsidising them at £250 -£300. It would probably be a bad decision to increase them, regardless of what others charge, but there's no reason to drop them further. On the flipside, maybe it's small club mentality charging the fans so little, maybe we should demand we pay more because we ain't small time 😉 |

I'll be buying one but I can understand why people wouldn't giving the unmitigated disaster we are seeing currently. I think although everyones rightly dismayed at how this seasons going, surely they'll be able to rationalise it when compared to what theyve been used to seeing at this football club over the years/decades? Presuming we go down then we have a great season in the championship to look forward to. Unusually for us, we WONT be one of the poor relations at that level- we'll actually be one of the moneyed clubs. Whoever is in charge, Wagner or someone else, Id expect us to compete at the top end and make a decent fist of going back up. They'll always be some of the more recent fans who might not be prepared to renew based on how dull and unsuccessful the home games have been recently, but I think the vast majority, certainly those whove been doing this more than 2 or 3 years, will see it for what it is and know its not the end of the world- or even the end of this clubs progress to hopefully becoming a more established premier division club. So long as dean keeps the prices low as he has done recently, then I think take up will be good, 18-20k |

Fans that were happy to buy a Championship season ticket previously now won't be because we are struggling in the Premier League. Football fans, eh? Probably because at that time they were expecting some attacking football and some excitement. As things stand now, there is zero attacking football and zero excitement, even if we are in the Premier League. Don't blame people one bit if they don't renew. Can't be much fun for those relatively newer fans getting soaked in the FM Lower on a poor winter's day watching us pass it sideways and backwards. |

Let's be honest they are going to have to be competitively priced as people won't pay more for a product that is perceived to be poorer than before.
It's going to be interesting how many of the "fans" stick with the club.

I'd imagine prices will be around the 250-300 mark again. I'd also like to see the first parachute payment primarily used to retain players rather than sign new ones. I'd be absolutely gutted to see Mooy leave but I think that'd be inevitable if we went down. I’m not convinced we would lose Mooy, although I think it depends on DW’s situation. Mooy isn’t your archetypal flashy footballer; he’s a very shy, family man, who I think is extremely loyal. He, his wife and new young family are settled here and he feels comfortable. As long as he’s getting, in his eyes, good money, then he may very well not want to up sticks again and have to go through all the issues of joining a new club. He could however join the newly promoted Yorkshire PL club from up the road; he wouldn’t have to relocate then!! 😉 Agree with most of that the Sheff Utd are down the road, not up 😉 |

Going to be a big effort to move these. Wonder what the incentives will be for early purchasers, if any? Are they out yet? I'll be getting ours sorted toot sweet. They'll probably still be significantly cheaper than most other clubs to boot, get in! Definitely need to improve your french  Whatever happens I will end up with a season card/ticket happens every year  |

What’s to stop you getting one: - more games to go and see down at the JSS - hopefully we’re more competitive and may actually win games - more night games (just love walking down to the JSS with the floodlights streaming down; call me an old sentimentalist) - DH won’t fleece the fans and they’ll be reasonably priced And let’s be honest, you’d just miss it, regardless of the current situation. Im the total opposite, i think theres too many games in the championship, including cup games it seems to be two matches a week, having to fit fixtures in midweek because because England are playing a friendly dosnt help either, it can be inconvenient for many. |

Town have been selling Season Tickets for peanuts in recent seasons. I paid about £540 in 2015/16. Since then I have paid £179, £100 and £249. Whatever League you are in, that is an exceptional price.True Town fans turn up, however good or bad Town are playing. The Plastics will vanish soon.

It is has been a lot cheaper. The thing is, when you buy a season ticket, you don't actually know if it will be a good, bad or average season. It is a choice of course. Nobody forces anyone to attend games. You either turn up or you don't. Admittedly it has been dogshit this season, but it will not stop me coming. |

Are people really so fickle that they'll end their support because of a few disastrous months at a level we never imagined we'd reach? Bit sad if they do. Some might, but surely the bulk will have a bit more understanding and empathy.. and loyalty. |

Given that we could be playing in the Championship (only 3 levels above non league football) I cannot imagine anybody wanting to buy a season ticket!

Yes it's gutting how things are at the minute but as we know things can and have been a lot worse UTT |

What’s to stop you getting one: - more night games (just love walking down to the JSS with the floodlights streaming down; call me an old sentimentalist) Why do some people continually refer to more night games as being a bonus. ....It's quite clear from the significant fall in attendances (both in terms of gate and more importantly bodies in the ground) that a significant number don't or can't enjoy night games... This includes shift workers, people currently living outside the area, those in jobs where you can't always guarantee leaving on time, families with children with non-footballing comittments, young children etc. etc.(and bloody) etc. PS Never ever ever understood why in the 21st century some people are excited by an electric light but each to their own. |

Whatever happens I will end up with a season card/ticket happens every year
