Season ticket prices announced

Quoted from lukeo

how is it a headache? took me all of 2 minutes to think of that idea and type it up on here!

I wouldn't fancy working out season tickets for shift workers or for Saturday only games.   To avoid over/under selling capacity would take some working out and a great detail of planning.  Maybe something people employed by the club could do...

Like others,don't mind the ticket increases for adults. But the juniors thing could've been done better. Would like to hear the logic behind the decisions there.

Surely the junior tickets don't have to be a "sustainable" price. It's just a "loss leader" you accept not making much out of immediately, but that will pay out long term by way of merchanddise/catering sales and the biggest thing of cementing a possible lifelong supporter of GTFC.

People on one thread moaning about not signing good enough players and budget restrictions, then on this one moaning at a 38p per week increase in the cost of seeing football in the league above where we've been for 6 years.

Yeah, just ignore the issue and bumble on as usual. That sort of short term thinking got the club in trouble in the first place.

By the way, celebrating promotion isn't short term thinking and it didn't get us in trouble either. You keep nitpicking if it makes you happy and I'll keep celebrating because that makes me happy.

I don't think anyone is moaning about the slight increase for the adult tickets.  

The 'moaning' is about the lack of foresight and imagination on the clubs behalf.

For the record ...i was considering getting a season ticket...i am not now.
I know i will miss at least 3 or 4 games a season due to work commitments so to pay out increased costs, upfront for the benefit of two free games doesnt make sense, added to that the lead argument from the club appears to be " well everyone else has upped their entry fee in the 6 years we've been out" then as a few feared , the decision and implementation of an across the board rise seems lazy and ill thought out.

Off the back of operation promotion, you know...were we all chipped in extra over and above any entry fee's,put OUR hard earned money up before we had signed any players,  i really hoped the club would buy a bit more loyalty by at least freezing prices.  

I would expect a slight natural increase in early gates with attendances bouyed by interested returning or new fans and what i can only imagine will be at least 400% increase in away support revenue, the club has also mentioned that promotion would be worth £1m so potential income would be higher anyway.

I ultimately dont have to stand the clubs debt so easy for me to say but with the above factors then the club have one less potential ST sale.

Think this has been well blown out of proportion. A loss-making business increases prices in hope of breaking even.

Of course they'd do it when there's a feel-good factor it softens the blow of those who might not come at £20 a game.

Best not go to the petrol station, supermarket or pub!

There's some miserable minge bags on here , look if you cant afford 50p for online ticket costs or you can't afford to pay 20 quid more for a season ticket then you shouldn't be wasting what little money you have on football.

Drop the ticket prices, drop the quality, and drop back down again, or.......................

Increase the prices, increase the quality, increase our staus to league 1.


Every little helps!

We're on our way..............

It just seems like a massive missed opportunity from the club, they could have sold more season tickets than ever off the back of a clever initiative, I'm not even talking about reducing prices, just not increasing them. I can't see the logic in the increases for kids and youths, they are the future and we have a massive opportunity to hook them for life. You just have to wonder how the club came to this decision and if the trust were involved with it?

I'll be renewing, but it just takes away from some of the positive mood for me.
