I am a tight arsed fan - 3 kids with a hot dog fetish and other expensive habits. We have been to more games this season, because of the offers about. No real worries about pricing for me. I do look at my fellow fans and wonder about the age of attendees and where our fan base is going. Especially with the dominoes comments. The club and fans need to get the young ones down. My little ones wanted a tea at half time. "Sorry we have run out of tea". What the fuck century are the club in?
I honestly don't think I would have been too bothered about going nowadays if I were a kid, Having to sit in the same seat with the same view in the same end all game wouldn't have appealed to me, I would have been bored stupid.
Having a wander about on the old terrace, nip into open end the odd game and pop into the cowshed many a 2nd half, Albeit after burning your gob with redhot Bovril soothed only by a wagon wheel got me hooked.
The club really do need to have a good look at the prices it charges for teenagers, It is far too dear, Wether you are still school age and your old man is still paying or wether you have just left and started work or college, We need to keep these lads and lasses and not lose em to something else.
£600 a year for me and my 13 year old lad (not in most expensive park of ground ) it's actually cheaper at Everton , man city and Leicester all Prem league teams within striking distance

Im sure if Town got the tv money those teams get then ours would be cheaper too. Prem clubs could make it practically free without it effecting them that much.

While those figures are shit and worrying, there's an awful lot of pretendances going on in this league, Brighton and MK Dons being a prime example. There also seems to be quite a few clubs down on where I'd expect them to be. We averaged 15000 in our first season and that now would have us much higher than it did then.

Why didn't you move across the half way line in the BR and keep a cheaper guaranteed seat with a similar view?

Season ticket in britannia rescue ( opposite where you are now) was £305 in 2010. www.examiner.co.uk/sport/football/news/huddersfield-town-season-ticket-prices-5002700Its now £388 so your 83% increase is actually a 26% increase. ( and we are a division higher) Not sure why your seat is now not guarenteed or why you decided to move to the most expensive part of the ground, but i sit in the Britannia and my seat is guaranteed and there are plenty available.

Crowds will continue to fall as long as you can sit in a seat to watch Town for a tenner then a few days later the same seat to watch the same Town is thirty five quid. Absolutely ridiculous. Offers, categories, increases on the day, under 8s becoming under 18s on the day of the game, all of it makes it confusing and leaves a bit of a bad taste. For me twenty quid anywhere every game, reduce st prices accordingly. Football folk are simple folk, treat them as such.

This happened with my lad...initially I moved out of Kilner into FM Upper because of him (cos its rubbish sitting in wings of Kilner if you're a small kid - you can't see half the game because of poor stadium design). Then, as he got a bit older/taller he didn't want to sit with the "nice folk" who were in the FM Upper, as it was all a bit rubbish compared to away games which he enjoyed lots more, so we went on a bit of a tour of the ground over a couple of years (which is well worth doing). But then participating in sport has taken over and he can't really be bothered watching any more - he went to Hull this season with me, but couldn't really care less - I suppose not knowing who any of the players are because of the massive turnaround is a factor too. He's more or less in the space of 10 years gone through what took me about 35 years. Things might change at college I suppose with new groups of friends (thats what invigorated my support back in 86-ish)...but other than that, can't really see him going to another game unless there's something "special" that holds an attraction like a decent cup tie or whatever.

My solution
Price Drop Season Tickets simple example and would need refining, but say Town want to raise 2 million quid from ticket sales sell 5,000 costs £400ea sell 10,000 costs £200ea sell 20,000 costs £100ea
You agree to buy when happy with the price, then can only get cheaper tickets. Encourages the fans to promote it via word of mouth.

Only just caught this thread so bit behind. Someone said it is Sky's fault - someone else said not. Of course it bloody well is and ridiculous to suggest it is not. The Sky money is disproportionately invested in better clubs which increases the inequality - other aspiring clubs then over stretch themselves to get to the Holy Lans and few succeed leading to financial catastrophe and/or ridiculous admission prices. It precisely mirrors our sick society where the richest 10% see a disproportionate increase in their wealth whilst everyone else is suffering - some of the 90% aspire to be better and over stretch themselves creating huge personal debts property booms and ultimately another financial crash. What hope do we have with Sky around for another few decades and the Tories in power until at least 2030 Time I finally made the move abroad

Blimey, some people don't have bluster about this. The simple fact is it's nowt to do with the pricing, but all to do with the quality of football on offer. I was a diehard, never miss a match fan...then during the latter stages of Elsie's reign ..when the football became stale and boring I first started to not bother ..then Grayson came in and I went down again...but after a while that deteriorated...then Robins...and eventually that deteriorated...by now I was a habitual 'fare weather fan' ..picking my games. The magic had gone. It's been the drip drip of poor stuff over a number of years that did for me...and only when we had a big game or a couple of wins did I go down. This season I went to Hull..and haven't been since...it's not the price..or even the atmosphere in the ground, it's ALL down to quality. Throw into that mix of poor quality our constant struggle at the bottom of the table and yoiu have a deadly mix of unattractive product. Fans can make excuses about the price, but the fact is that if Town were playing great stuff and near the top of the table, no one would be quibbling about the price,or the match day tax...or the atmosphere, or pies, beer etc...we'd be lapping it up and the stay away fans (like myself)would return. I know the diehards will argue I am not a 'real' fan, abandoning the club when they 'need' me...but that's total tosh...football is like anything else, if the product is cr*p, you'll lose customers..Dean should know that and no amount of discounting the price will work..in fact it makes it worse because it further devalues the product to something you find in the Pound Shop. As regards dean's comments about 'doing something for season card holders' , well I don't think that is the answer at all. His best solution is to appoint a proven manager who can get the best out of the lads at all times..you've only to look at the impact part timers like Murphy and Lillis had to see the managers have all under performed...that's the legacy of the past 3 years, that's why gates have fallen. the quality is miles better than nearly all the football you always went to see before you stopped going regularly. Price I can understand as an excuse to stop going. Quality of football is just a nonsense. It relies on grossly exaggerated negative view of the football weve played over the past 3 years. A total lack of appreciation that the opposition we're playing is far better than what we had been playing previously. And a bizarre notion that the 'quality' in the past was somehow vastly better than it actually was. it seems to me to be what people come up with when they're trying to convince themselves theres a good reason why they don't want to support the club anymore. Sorry, what you've said is total and absolute tosh mate. ...

Agreed - utter bollocks to say that quality of football is not as good. I get to about 10-12 matches per season and the football on offer now is the best I have seen at the club ( maybe 1999-2000 excepted) in my 44 years of Town supporting

Some of it has been. Most of it has been ok and some of it has been excellent. Pretty much like any other season i can remember. I suspect Hoyle also wants stay away fans to think hes not happy with it and is demanding it improves etc. If he comes out and says what ive just said in reply to detox, then hes not going to get any of them to come back and would just put them off even more. he has to be diplomatic. Your reply to me though was codswallop...take for instance the fact we are in the championship, which you use as a reason why we're struggling - excuse me ..but we've replaced the entire team that played in league one...if we've bought players we are not good enough at this level, how is that the fans fault ?? This arguement that we're at a higher level now so we shouldn't expect too much is just nuts.imo. And to suggest that the football we've played hasn't been so bad...my God, I've been watching Town since the 60's, and I've seen some poor performances believe me..but at least there was effort and commitment, if no skill - what I've seen in recent years has been dour pass pass pass football, no goalmouth excitement and a total lack of effort ..Inever saw that in the old days. I'm not just targetting Town here, the whole of footballhas becoem preoccupied with keeping possession rather than attacking to score more goals than the opposition..it's a culture change - and it's boring as shite. Everything but everything is down to how the team play....and how the manager sets them up to play..Town fans really connect to a bit of passion and commitment..but connect even more to 3 points . We'll have to agree to disagree on this.. and I'll bet if you asked most Town fans would they pay £35 to watch if it guaranteed a top 6 finish, what answer do you think you would get ?

I've had my rant on this thread, but how about answers now??
Dean wants to encourage more season ticket holders, and we know that once you are a season ticket holder for more than a year or two, that just becomes what you do and more or less looks after itself.
What's missing is how do your attract people to become season ticket holders. These are likely to be the people where, if they're physically able to attend sufficient games to make it worthwhile a prospect (not something the club can really do anything about) initially it IS a financial decision (ahead of later becoming a habit).
So... To kick off, and following on from Dean suggesting the club might have to start pushing next seasons sales a bit earlier, how about....
From January, season tickets go on sale, with the incentives for *new* buyers being that a 2016/17 season ticket gets you into ALL the remaining 15/16 home games all fixed at a £10 matchday entry fee.
I think this would be really effective, if marketed properly, and would really encourage potential new season ticket holders to make the decision early and quick, rather than dragging the decision out for weeks and talking themselves out of it.
Thoughts??

Interesting idea which may tempt me - it costs £35 in petrol for my 280 mile round trip so saving £10-20 on admission would mean I would be far more likely to make the trip

www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/football/huddersfield/huddersfield-town-dire-warning-on-gates-from-chairman-hoyle-1-7480084?SIMPLE FACT DEAN! ITS TOO FUCKING EXPENSIVE TO PAY ON THE DAY! Im not sure cheaper season tickets are the way forward unless they are really cheap, It has to be worthwhile to get those that go now and again to stump up the cash in advance...... For a season ticket to be worthwhile for myself, It would need to be no more than £150. Otherwise, I can just rely on sky, the odd promotional game, co-orperate hospitality, kids for a quid etc which allows me to watch around 10 home games a season for well under £100 probably closer to £50. Ive said it before, its not like I cant afford to pay full price tickets, Its the fact I dont see the value in it, and having two kids I could spend the cash on instead. Deano and the board really seem to have lost touch with fans like myself, I would only need a gentle nudge for me to be a season ticket holder again, but I feel isolated and disengaged with town. Deano needs to remember that no-one is bigger than the club and although I respect everything he has done, sometimes when your so entrenched in something you lose sight of the bigger picture and start making decisions and implementing policies that don't benefit everyone at the club, but rather in this case again the fans that turn up to canalside, have season tickets etc etc. Simple fact is, The huddersfield town board thought they could charge what they like, someone once argued on here that the prices where inelastic, bollox and fans are now voting with their feet because they are been ripped off. how are fans being ripped off when the prices charged are IN GENERAL LESS than the fucking going rate you total asshat. Stay the fuck away we don't need nor want you I will happily pay more so I don't have to sit with twats like you. Do you work in public relations?

There's a fine balancing act and one that needs proper economic thought rather than a fan slanging match on here.
What I will say is that for uni I jacked in my ST, for the 10/11 11/12 seasons I still made 14-16 home games a season and in economic terms should've got a ST but I didn't because the walk up prices if my memory was right were 12-16 quid (student) depending on the category. Essentially I could get a beer & burger in Town, see my mates from home and watch Town for £20. Even the adult prices weren't so bad then around 20-22. To me that is very reasonable.
Of course that was league one but I look at the pay on the day prices this season and they're a turn off. I won't be coming to any normal priced games this season and the games I will make will be when friends who do have ST's are on holiday or when there are offers on. Sadly I can't bring myself to pay on the day prices and my other commitments mean I can't get a ST/Take10 as I don't know if I'll actually make enough games.
Am I being priced out of football? Yes. My mate who supports City used to come with me a few times a season, he saw the prices and laughed. We went to watch CL football last season for £20.

Obviously everyone agrees that watching football is expensive surely? My opinion is that as well as football, people have a hell of a choice of things they can do on a Saturday! The problem with increasing walk up prices to the extent we have is that the casual fan balances it against these other activities he/ she can do? 100 yards away this "fan" could watch a film , have a few beers and have a bite to eat for the same price of 90 minutes of football. This is not only what Dean Hoyle is up against but football in general is competing with. Once the floating fan decides to look elsewhere for cheaper entertainment then they may never return.

Football could distribute the money in a way that none of your beefs happen, but FOOTBALL choses to give it to the big clubs and not share it around to the benefit of the game in general. If you give your nephew £100 for his birthday and he decides to go out and spend it on something utterly shite, it doesn't make it your fault!!! Its his!

I couldn't agree more with the OP. The club had to reduce prices for a Thursday night game which is on Sky it's a no brainer or hardly anyone would turn up. It's Saturday half decent fixtures they need to look at reducing so many of the exiled fans will come back & attract some new. People just find other things to do & spend their hard earned cash on especially with families etc & it's quick & easy to never come back to watch Town again because of the unrealistic, rip off prices. You simply do not get value for mone. I've said it before you can do loads with £30+ with a family for the price of 1 adult ticket cost at Town,it is a complete & utter rip off waste of money & why fans are turning their backs in droves & will continue to do so & will not turn up regularly any more. But listen mate you'e wasting you're time posting on here as most of the half wits who will come back spouting absolute crap back at you defending Hoyle & the club no matter what are never gonna agree with any negative comments posted. Let them crack on, meanwhile in the real world us who have & are voting with our feet will continue to enjoy spending our hard earned cash elsewhere & getting much better value for money and not wasting it supporting a club with owned by a multi millionaire who really couldn't give a Fcuk anyway so neither can i. There are many other clubs like Bradford who do value their fans & people and even though their owners are not in the same bracket as Hoyle they give so much more back to the fans by charging honest, fair, low, affordable pricing for everyone & that's why in League 1 they get loads more bums on seats Simple As! Before you brainless Hoyle loyals start spouting your crap back...I couldn't care less, i won't post back as really would rather just simply spend my cash elsewhere.

It is £38 quid to walk up & go in the upper tier, where many of the pay on the days choose to go.
Are our prices really some of the cheapest at this level?
If 47% of pay on the day are concessions it illustrates further that the pricing is not working.

The players we've bought ARE good enough- thats why we're able to compete at this level. You see Town struggle to win a game and immediately think that means we have no commitment or effort. What utter garbage. Boring pass pass football, again rubbish but if you're a big fan of 'gerrit forrad' football and regard that as 'quality football' then you can watch for free in most parks on a sunday morning. Everything is down to how the team play and how the manager sets them up to play? Ok, I'll accept that powell can be too cautous at times, but you seem to be forgetting that actually a lot of it is down to how the other side play aswell, and there are some good teams in this division that aren't going to just let us waltz straight through them and score a hat full. If you don't like football anymore then just don't go. You don;'t have to conjure up all that nonsense to convince yourself its Towns fault.

There are many other clubs like Bradford who do value their fans & people and even though their owners are not in the same bracket as Hoyle they give so much more back to the fans by charging honest, fair, low, affordable pricing for everyone & that's why in League 1 they get loads more bums on seats Simple As! Before you brainless Hoyle loyals start spouting your crap back...I couldn't care less, i won't post back as really would rather just simply spend my cash elsewhere. Saving up for a brain would be my guess.

I don't know why people mention Bradford. Would we be in the championship charging £150, maximum and letting thousands in for free? You can't have it both ways. Ok, the prices at Town and most other clubs could be reduced, but I'm happy to pay over £300 for championship football.

I highly respect Dean but think he has got this one wrong. With overcharging for the walk up fans I feel he has put off these floaters many who may find alternative forms of entertainment on a Saturday and never return through the turnstiles. Credit has to be given to him for realising this issue, but has Dean tried closing the stable door after the horse has bolted? Guess only time will tell but I'm worried for the future. UTT
