Seriously, just fuck off. why for being correct  Seriously though you can't have it all, it sounds like you want.... - The best team to watch on the pitch - investment in the playing squad - The cheapest season ticket pricing in the EFL (maybe not Lg2 not checked) - The best seats in the stadium - No idiots near you or to quote you "reprobates" If you want all the above it will not be possible next season i am quite sure about this something has to give. |

Slightly off the point but some sort of creativity is needed with season tickets. I liked Hoyle’s Premier League £100 pledge of whatever it was called. Some kind of incentive to renew. 10 years seasons in a row gets you a gold season ticket, 5 gets you silver with rewards that don’t cost much like invites to meet Kevin, name in the program, free shirt every 10th year, name on your seat, that sort of stuff How very dare you come on here and talk sense? Didn't you know that's not allowed?  |

How much more is it if you buy on finance? This season it cost us £72.39 in credit for 4 ST's We had 2 adults and 2 under 11's (£596 total). Credit fee was £72.89 so total £668.89 paid over 10 months but the credit fee is added to the first month payment rather than being spread out on all 10 months. |

It’s something the club need to be mindful (and other fans) if they put the prices up. Those that generally need the finance option are also stung with the added cost of credit too. So a £350 season card to those using finance isn’t £350. |

Is some of this linked to the stadium ownership issues? If we gain control of the stadium, we gain access to the match-day revenue that KSDL currently take. That money then goes into Town’s coffers. Season card monies then become a little less crucial as it then means more people in the stadium to spend their money there instead.
That said, there is clearly a rise on the horizon as we have had it good for a fair while now. I ain’t moving so I’ll pay what it takes to retain my seat within reason. I’m expecting something between £299 - £349 as a starter raise so not to alienate the fans too much, although it will depend on our league status. Whether a tiered system will be introduced, we wait and see…

It’s not a witch hunt - you’re just seriously deluded and need to see a doctor. The way in which you attempt to make your point or pretend to be ITK is ridiculous and often patronising. You can have an opinion no problem but stop pretending it’s from a position of knowledge. Use phrases like ‘I think’ or ‘maybe, or ‘’imo’ or ‘perhaps’. Every time you post you sound like you’re a club official which is why you get the abuse you get. |

Can we just call the stands by their proper names rather than sponsors? Every time I see Big Red I get flashbacks to the fat b*stards I had to share a train carriage with in 2022.

The one thing I'm less of a fan of is the number of price brackets we have - I think there should be a cheap, flat rate for all under 18s we currently have rates for: Adults Under 23s Under 18s Under 16s Under 11s I think just have one rate for Under 18s, or possibly under 18s and NUS members. One rate then for adults, and one for over 65s Simplify it, and recognise that we're in a cost of living crisis and football is an escape for families. I'd say £300 for adults, £200 for over £65s, £100 for under 18s. This year it was: Adults: £249 Under 23s: £159 Under 18s: £129 Under 16s: £109 Under 11s: £49 And instead of money off for early renewals. give it in the form of either a discount or voucher for the club shop. For example, half price shirts if you renew before date X. 1 shirt per ST, and must be purchased by the first home game. Or x% off a spend of up to £X, again with a deadline, say 31 August. This would cost the club less in reality, and potentially feel more valuable to punters. I agree with too many options but need to keep the lower entry level for the young fans I have 3 tickets under 11s at £49.00 two of them have been 3 times this year, I only got them all due to the price and I want them to keep coming future fans are so important, I also think there will be family tickets including the wife as well they want more women to come to games. For me it’s a relief away but i do understand it I just wont tell her if they do announce that package! You have a wife and 3 children? Jesus Christ. |

Who is voting for a price increase ? So we increase ticket prices by 100 quid loose a few thousand off the attendance ? To pay for a few signings. Have they even suggested there putting prices up why the hell are you even talking about price rises . Instead of spending 1 million on replacing managers every 4 months just keep ticket prices same ta . Actually can’t believe people are asking for price increases utter mad that . Imagine paying more buying players for more and still being utter shite Few points. All about opinions. Ive put £400. The reason being, twenty is plenty. We wouldn’t lose a few thousand if the maximum it went up was £100. It is nowhere near enough to pay for ‘a few players’. Im not sure we’ve had to pay £1 million every 4 month on replacing managers. How do you know it’s going to be utter shite? |

My Stoke season ticket was £320 . No increase at all since 2008 our promotion season. Plus we’ve had free away travel for over ten years
Mind you the football we’ve witnessed for the last six years hadn’t even been worth that 🤦♂️
Your prices seem to be very reasonable

A major factor now in the modern working world is shift work, a fair few posts have quoted price per match dividing the total by 23. But so many folk now work weird hours and know before a ball is kicked they won’t attend all games . So let’s say some may average 12 games the pricing of a ST then becomes make or break and it is very easy to price people out of ST.s

Not sure if it's been mentioned here, or previously, but the issue is that when we started with the same price in each stand many people moved seats to the 'posh seats'...e.g. Kilner to Upper Tier.
The one pricing structure works well...keep it...and £300 is more than enough. Any more and its a backward, money grabbing, step.

If I was to have a season ticket for my walk up price of £25 (which incidentally I think is bloody good value for an excellent League like The Championship and a fine stadium with a great pitch to watch football on) then I’d be around £575 so I’d say prices are pretty good at Huddersfield Town...
I think it’s over £600 at Celtic and Rangers for an utter joke of a league -
Dumbarton is £17 per game for one stand and a fence and a rueful reminisce and view of what used to Inverlomond Distillery 🥃 ☹️
(£306 per annum)
The mighty Clachnacuddin FC is £10 - Take your pick of The Pumpgate Road ‘Grandstand’ (all 154 seats) or The Wineshed ! 🍷 🥂
(170 per annum)

It's obviously not as simple as this because there are other factors to consider in terms of the number of attendees but if we can agree that the cheaper the tickets the more we will sell would you rather...
25,000 @ £160 = £4,000,000
20,000 @ 200 = £4,000,000
13,500 @ 300 = £4,000,000
10,000 @ 400 = £4,000,000
80,00 @ 500 = £4,000,000
5,000 @ 800 = £4,000,000
4,000 @ 1000 = £4,000,000

Barnsley charge nearly £400 for an adult but kids season cards are only £10. Sensible imo as kids will always want shirts etc. Get them hooked early and they will be fans for life.

The one pricing structure works well...keep it...and £300 is more than enough. Any more and its a backward, money grabbing, step. £300 is only 'more than enough' provided the club's owner is willing to not only stump up some millions to meet the rest of the ongoing costs, but also hopefully stump up some more millions on top of that to improve the team. So its hardly money grabbing when even charging £350 would mean the owner is still carrying millions of costs himself. And £350 is still well below the going rate. It would be in league 2, never mind the championship. It's unrealistic IMO to think £300 across the board is 'more than enough' for the fans contribution to all this expense and spending we as fans expect/demand. |

It would be interesting to see the number of tickets sold at adults and kids prices.
I'm guessing the average price paid across all categories is only in the £175 region when you factor in £49 tickets etc.
So if you increased all categories by 25% then that's in the region of £45 x 15,000 = £675k, then you would lose a few not buying so potentially an increase of £500k. Then potentially loss of revenue at each game of those no longer attending and it might actually be only an extra £400k in revenue to increase prices by 25%.
It really doesn't seem worthwhile and would create a negative atmosphere.
Also creating different prices in different parts of the ground would be an issue I feel. I bought 2 season tickets in the main stand so my boy could be closer to the dugout etc. If they were significantly more than another stand I and many others may then transfer, but if other stands sell out (and Kilner bank pretty full already) then you run the risk of having to pay a higher price or not buying one at all.
Overall I would keep all areas of the ground the same price and raise by a max of 10%.

To take this away from the new manager thread. I am sure prices will increase, everyone needs to understand this we have had it way too good for way too long. I still expect we will be in the bottom 6 prices for a championship season ticket even with approx £100.00 price increase. Hopefully a better performing more attractive team to watch will mean season ticket sales will be high. Currently our prices are Cheap, they can still be affordable even with a fair increase. If we look at say £350.00 for the season ticket thats circa £15.00 per match its really amazing value for Championship football, a pint of beer is pretty much £5.00 everywhere now, with minimum wage increasing also in April its basically 2 hours work for the lowest earners per game after tax. I know some people are really struggling at the moment but if they are struggling for this amount they are also going to struggle for the current amount. Plenty of payment options and some special offers I think this sort of price would be accepted and paid by the majority. I think a price point £300 - £370 per Adult ticket for championship football with a few simple tiers depending on where your seat is would work well (below jsut a quick example) £300.00 Lower tier behind goal (Big Red), Blocks 1-10 Core lower and Chadwick lawrence stand £340.00 South stand, Chadwick lawrence stand 2-9, Big Red Upper. Core lower rest of blocks and upper blocks 1-3, 6-8 £370.00 Core upper 3-6. As good as it is at £15 per match (No dispute there) my friend who used to go pre covid before everything shut down said this. He has found other things to do since Covid and has started going with his missus to the cinema at £5 each "For a tenner we get to see a film in the dry, It doesn't ruin my weekend" Before anyone has a pop he had been a ST holder for as long as I can remember. Hopefully the new exciting regime can bring him back on board but I'm doubtful. Although he hasnt fallen out with Town how can we bring him back on board? These are the people we have lost. Surely he can't be the only one Hence ST need to be realistic and I think personally at £15/game that's good value. |

Think that says more about your mate then anything price wise or what's going on at Town. I just think if they want to drive the club forward and have the stadium rocking with a good atmosphere then they need to strike a balance, putting tickets up dramatically would be financial suicide, the only way I can see a justification in a serious price hike is for some serious investment in the squad in the summer. |
