Show me the data or advise where I can find it and if it’s true FairPlay. But you’re in essence saying only day trippers can afford and are interested in paying a premium for a matchday experience and that loyal fans aren’t or cannot be ? Casual day trip fans and business tax write offs occupy most boxes at VP. This is no different. Of course many 'regular' fans can afford it but they are outnumbered by business and high paying one game day trip fans. I sense you can't see my point so I will leave it at that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been on the season ticket waiting list for over 3 years and will probably be waiting another 10 years before I get a chance. So I’ve been paying around £60 a ticket on a match by match basis instead. I also spend around £30 a game on some cheap food and lots of alcohol (away from the ground). So £90 a game in total. The Cells is £1,560 which is £82 a game, and I assume that includes a couple of drinks? Thats actually pretty good value, except I don’t want to sit in the North stand next to away fans. Also does it invalidate my season ticket waiting list position? Edited June 10 by ender4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it’s 20% cheaper for businesses as they’ll claim back the VAT which is included in that cost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they remove you from the waiting list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our renewal details came through this evening and the price has gone up by £2000 (62.5%) on last season for essentially the same thing. I have been a ST holder in there for over 10 years and for around 35 years in total. No loyalty left any more That’s horrendous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can be blunt, if your place on that waiting list isn't in the top couple of hundred, I don't think you need to worry about it for ten years.

You've mentioned this a few times. Has it come from anything at the FAB meetings or just your own thoughts? That season ticket list will drop by 20,000 if they keep pumping up prices and we fall away (FFP/PSR/FIFASuperLeague etc.) from the top of the table.

OutByEaster? Posted June 10 Author Moderator Share Posted June 10 1 hour ago, thabucks said: You aren’t forced to go GA+ it’s a choice and the club shouldn’t be criticised for targeting that market which is obviously there and lucrative. On a season ticket basis though, that choice is "pay this or don't come". These are the only type of season tickets available to buy if you don't already have one. £2,700 for a seat in the Upper Trinity is a pretty hard sell as decent value - it's £142 a game when you'll be sitting next to someone who has paid £43 a game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That season ticket list will drop by 20,000 if they keep pumping up prices and we fall away (FFP/PSR/FIFASuperLeague etc.) from the top of the table. Mostly just my own thoughts, at least beyond the next couple of years which are more set. We've got 27,000 season ticket holders at the moment - this summer the club are letting that reduce a little for phase one of the hospitality development. Most people in the Lower Trinity around the dugouts seem to think they'll be moved next summer to make way for a hospitality offering and it's extremely unlikely the club will make any season tickets available next summer either. At that point we'll likely still have 25,000+ season ticket holders and a group holding them that are extremely motivated not to give them up. I think the club will want to let that drop another couple of thousand - and I think that'll take five years. In essence, I think unless you're very high up on that list, you're waiting until post Euro 2028 and any new development of the North Stand. I think the club will get rid of the list in its current form before then anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows? Had a few texts from people I’ve got to know in there over the years and they’re all a) furious and b) not renewing £60K nearly for a table of four. Jesus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
