Season tickets announced

No early bird discount this season?

The comments on here and on Twitter show that some of our fan base deserved Fenty for all those years

I think £375 for 22 non league games is a valid gripe for some fans.

Do think there are some good innovations as well though.

I’m a big fan of everything the club is doing atm however I think it’s more than fair for some to be disappointed.

Obviously there is so much thought that goes in to charging what we do BUT our pricing is pretty much Championship level. I get that they receive revenue in excess of what we do which means that they can drop their prices to compensate however I do understand the disappointment.

To back that up, you can watch Barnsley, Birmingham, Blackpool, Bristol City, Cardiff, Coventry, Huddersfield, Forest, QPR, Reading, Sheff Utd, Stoke and Swansea for no more than the cost of the Upper at GTFC next season.

The Upper is the premium product and there are only about 1800 seats excluding the restricted views in the top corners. If the club sells most of the seats in there at a low ST price it will be a big loss of revenue overall. I go in there and pay full match day prices with the one match free with the exile pack (now 1878 club). Occasionally I splash out for McMenemy’s as well. If the seats have all gone to discounted STs the club loses that extra cash.

The club have allocated discounts very sensibly IMHO - loyal fans, young and old and key workers / armed forces.

But as limerick pointed out that's the price for the best seats in the house.you can still get a decent view from any of the other stands if you pick your seat sensibly and then it's only 340 which is about £15 a game which I think is very reasonable. You've also got the various discounts, and everyone could benefit just by joining the trust
You also get free membership of 1878 club ( worth £25) £10 off a shirt, which loads of people buy, plus a club shop discount so all in all most people will be getting a bargain

You could argue that the “free membership of 1878 club” is worthless as STH already get first and higher priority on everything that 1878 club offers non-STHs.

But these teams receive a minimum of £6.7m each in solidarity payments and revenue shares alone. That's even before a season or match ticket is sold. It's easy to discount ticket prices when you have millions coming in to compensate!

Apart from the average Championship club loses £26m a year. And that’s pre-COVID.

I was expecting a family ST offer in the Main Stand and a better deal than the 6 for 5 offer announced.

I’m a little underwhelmed. More rearranging the deckchairs on the titanic than a route and branch relaunch of ticketing structures.

The elephant in the room is it’s 22 home league matches next season and not 23. That’s 4.3% of what you’re normally buying gone before you consider anything else.

We’ve just been through a year with no fans in the ground and we’re just about to take a huge financial hit from dropping out of the league, what did they expect? £100 each?

Ticket prices are the one thing that keep clubs below League 1 alive, I’ve always been of the opinion that prices should actually be lower in the PL given the fact the revenue is a mere drop in the water. The prices will keep the club competitive and in reality they’re very fair.
