Season ticket prices frozen

Well done the club

I think when you look at the broader economic climate, this is an incredible move by the club and likely something the owners will have to personally underwrite.

**waits for Golly to rip everything to shreds**

Was just about to ask if anyone had heard anything. That’s decent

Not only is it great they've frozen prices, it's also miraculous to see us getting the details out before the end of the current season and having the physical passes available to collect immediately. A huge improvement over the Fenty era and well done to everyone involved at the club.

I might be mistaken but the end of May seems a lot earlier than usual for the cut-off of the “early bird” prices” (we didn’t even know what division we’d be in at the beginning of June two years ago”. I imagine there’s an element of wanting to get an early idea of what the demand is going to look like, given the turbulent season we’ve just had.

I complained last year that the blanket £20 was grossly unfair as an adult ST went up by just 5.9% whilst junior ST went up by an inflation busting 40%.

Price rises should be evenly distributed. Not targeted unfairly and often at those with limited means.

An example…

A man/woman who go on their own would have had a 5.9% increase last summer against the 2022/23 season.

A single mum/dad taking 2 kids would saw their 3 season tickets go up from £440 (£340+£50+£50) to £500 (£360+£70+£70). An increase of 13.6%.

How was that fair? It wasn’t. Increases should always be evenly distributed in percentage terms. A blanket 10% increase last summer would have been fairer.

2024/25…

It’s good that the club have frozen prices, but it does raise the question why ST haven’t been on sale for a couple of months. It would have given the club/owners an earlier and more accurate forecast of likely final sales and how that effects budgets and more importantly how much in losses will need to be bridged.

It just seems bizarre that a business would wait 11 days from their last contact with an existing customer before trying to get them to continue their custom for another year.

The early bird window closes too early? That’s the typical negative, nitpicking response I come to expect from moaners like you.

Be more positive. Use me as your inspiration.

That gave me a genuine lol there, my friend. Well played! 😂

I toyed with idea of putting a smiley at the end of my message, but I trusted you’d take it as it was intended. 🤝

No way they could release information about season tickets whilst we had no idea what division we'd be in.
