So, is there any indication of when we’re likely to see the prices released? I’ve not got the patience to compare to previous seasons release dates, but it feels like it’s later than previous seasons? My guess is they’re needing to see some feelgood factor from AB, which feels like a risky policy right now. I very much doubt we will release any ticket prices for next season without a positive result or two, if we beat Stoke or Coventry then I think we might see these during next week. I am also hearing the pricing will be the same for Championship or L1 football so its now just about timing it correctly to try and get some early purchases, Kevin is also over during this week so maybe he wants to be here to annouce this together or after announcing some other positive news. They've missed the boat when it comes to capitalising on positive feeling. If that was the strategy then they should have announced pricing the week after Breitenreiter being unveiled. Further delays will just result in poorer uptake. What happens if we lose both Easter games (a realistic possibility)? Confidence in the project will be rock bottom. |

If the club increase the prices in the event of relegation, then the powers that be are totally fucking puddled. |

looking back at the original poll and it does appear the majority who have voted will accept an increase and broadly somewhere in the £300 - £350 mark with many wanting a tiered pricing structure depending on where the seat is. 37.8% = £300 - £370 with different tiers 31.1% = £300 fixed 15.56% = £350 fixed Thats over 84% believing that this sort of pricing will be fair and correct for the ticket pricing (this was based on Championship football), so the louder voices on this thread are the ones that are in the minority and dont think an increase is fair and around 8.8% of the votes, whatever the club do some will not be happy however it does look like an increase will be accepted by the majority. Who are you actually convincing? Yourself? Feeding it back to someone at the club? Very odd. |

My guess is they’re needing to see some feelgood factor from AB, which feels like a risky policy right now. I think it was towards the end of April last year. Can't find anything on the website with an exact data but there was something published on the 17th April about making sure your online account details were correct ahead of the launch, so it must have been after that date. www.htafc.com/news/2023/april/e-ticketing-season-card-holders-reminder/ |

Price doesn’t matter that much. My decision is we go down I will definitely renew. Be nice to see us win a few more games, but then history says we could still go down. We stay up I will dread another season of struggling against relegation and not being able to beat the teams who are also struggling, say to myself I’m not renewing then at last minute renew. Never been over optimistic where town are concerned but still a bit of weekly pain and torture makes me realise that my life isn’t that bad and things could be worse As to finances of club premier league clubs spend more on agents fees than supporting the lower tiers says all you need to know about football finances. The rot started when the clubs with bigger gates no longer had to split the money with the smaller clubs. As a consequence fewer and fewer clubs outside the huge clubs have much hope of really winning anything. I remember Villa getting 40000 every week in division 3. Man United relegated. Liverpool in division 2. Spurs and West Ham, relegations. Chelsea too unlikely to happen nowadays. Surely if a massive club like beeston can be relegated anyone can 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👌😂😂😂😂👌👌👌👌👌👌 |

We are averaging 19,294 fans this season. That is 0.00932932517% of the fanbase. Do you ever not talk complete shit? That figure (19,294) will include away fans but your point is valid. It's a miniscule sample size. Also the question wasn't asked as "What would you be willing to pay?". It is asking what is a fair price. I think £350 is a fair price for Championship Football, but I wouldn't pay it, not after the shambles of this season. |

I think many would agree we might be a lot better off without you......... in fact I would actually be happy to pay for your seat and not use it, I am sure anyone sitting around you would be very happy if you speak in the ground like you do on here. I am guessing you are one of the small percentage to vote for keeping prices the same. L1 football and the season ticket revenue becomes much more important than Championship football so same price for either and increased to a fair amount makes perfect sense. |

I agree with this, if we do have a couple of good results however it will be a good time to announce the ticket pricing for next season. If we lose both games its not over but does become a lot more difficult, I can actually see us getting a minimum of 3 points over easter |

Very odd. its not a big number of fans but it does give an indication of what fans think is fair and correct at the very least on DATM, the majority will be happy with the next years pricing Championship or L1 I am sure of this and the minority would not be happy even if we kept pricing at £250 or at least they would find something else to moan about. |

You're also not taking into account the demographics of the people who read, comment and vote on polls on this board. It's widely agreed that the majority on here are of the 'older' generation and therefore in a better position to pay more for their season ticket. So as well as the tiny proportion who actually voted on this thread it's just not going to be a realistic indication. |

Prices were reduced for this season, they were £299 last season for supporters not in the 3 year price promise so in theory if they go to 300 they will only increase by a quid to what they were 2 seasons ago!! |

It's a tiny cross section with no overwhelming majority where the most popular answer covers the broadest possible answer. So im afraid the poll tells us nothing i'm afraid. You can tell that to whoever you are passing the info to if you like. |

If the club looks at this topic and uses the results as a base, it seriously needs to appreciate this forum is full of the older end who have more money at their disposal the youth are the clubs future do not lose them by stupid pricing . That’s coming from someone who’s old.

You can tell that to whoever you are passing the info to if you like. Its only a small cross section ( polls always are ) but I think its probably a good cross section in terms of age, wealth etc of towns support base. It tells us that only 16 of 182 think the price should stay the same in the championship on the grounds of 'fairness' Or 16 out of 182 only really consider themselves when they think about whats 'fair'.  |

Dunno...but retailers of **EVERYTHING** need to do whatever they can to tap into Hudds Town fans 🤷♂️ Imagine the scene...customer survey comes out from Tesco/EE/Shell/Nawaab/EON/Merrie England whoever, question..."Dear valued customer, this is an open ended request for your input, what do you think we should do?" And getting an overwhelming response of..."PUT THE PRICES UP...it might result in higher quality product, but we realise there's no guarantee of that" Retailer...errr...OK then 😲 |

We Town fans have been very very lucky regarding season ticket prices, but no doubt some on here will blame Dean Hoyle for the increase, after all they blame him for everything else.
19,294 fans this season is the average at Town so that is roughly just over 17,000 home fans and is excellent. There are a lot more female fans these days unlike in the crazy days of the 70s/80's and is roughly ten percent of Huddersfield's population and that certainly isn't the case for our friends in Englands 3rd biggest city, they would never average 85,000

MORE!!?! Ive been giving you £2 a week for ages now, you greedy little sod!!..I dont care if all your mates get more off their parents..£2 is plenty off me...walk to training and mend your boots with some gaffer tape lad!" |

There are many clubs struggling who are likely paying more in wages and fees and taking far more for season cards off the support. Its a business and ticket prices will eventually have to come into line with at least some sort of average cost for the division we are in, notwithstanding the extra cost for London clubs etc.. 26 home gates at about £11.50 has been some discount for us for a while now, it couldnt last and its unfortunate timing with the current financial issues many have, but even first division at around that price per game or a bit higher is hard, in the circumstances, is hard to argue with. |

The lad does however get £10 a week from brand & partner sponsorship deals, another £15 ad revenue from social media platforms and a fiver from selling branded merchandise, areas where his mates are earning at least double that - I personally think he'd be better off concentrating on increasing the income from those streams in line with his pals above trying to eek 50p extra out of his dad...especially as he's an adult now. |

Hes not an adult though. The dad is just hoping the lad's coach at football will take on most of the responsibility for his son and stump up all the extra money he needs out of his own pocket. Hes heard he's doing alright for himself so he should. But of course the dad will still moan like fuck at the coach if his son turns out to be not that good at football. |
