Season Ticket Discussion 2024/25

[basher]

The "average" worries me... reduce the golf stand by 80%... put the rest of the stands up by 20%....

That's what Jeff would do and gaslight everyone in to saying what a great deal it is!

It's positive news and had to happen, you simply can't pitch Championship football at the current prices, we'd be getting gates of 15k or lower.

The final few years of Jeff Shi were just rampant incompetence and arrogance. Made Jonathan Hayward look like Tony Bloom.

He's got everyone all on the hook, says there wont be reductions, then announces modest ones and everyone is pleased.

 

[Tredman]

It’s classic expectation management done well.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

With so many games on tv and at crap times a 25% reduction is the absolute minimum they can get away with. I’m on the fence but leaning to not renewing.

This never happened. Everyone assumed that the initial statement about long term strategy meant prices weren’t going to come down because people thought that the mismanagement would continue. All the talks between the club and the fan advisory board and such like since Nathan Shi came in have included the fact that ticket prices need to come down.

I actually think if it is £550 behind the goals that’s pretty reasonable for 2026. They could have gone further and still might but £24 a game is fair. I do think the tickets in the Steve Bull and Billy Wright need to come down more so it will be interesting to see what they are. Let’s be honest though no matter what they charge they’ve got to get the football right and that’s where they should truly be judged and there’s a lot of work to do.
