The9 Posted 3 May, 2013 Share Posted 3 May, 2013 Got to fund messi some how, prime time to buy now barca failed to get to the champions league final... New tv deal should cover it, top clubs won't be able to buy him due to FFP regulations and we've still got the wiggle room in our wages. No need to raise ST prices at all with the massive influx of money from the telly deal. So, Messi, done deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrant Posted 3 May, 2013 Share Posted 3 May, 2013 My renewal was £575 this season, I think... would expect a moderate rise to £600-625. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry the Badger Posted 3 May, 2013 Share Posted 3 May, 2013 Why are footy fans so accepting of the price going up every single year? Surely it shouldn't go up at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrant Posted 3 May, 2013 Share Posted 3 May, 2013 Why are footy fans so accepting of the price going up every single year? Surely it shouldn't go up at all. Of course it shouldn't, especially with a 50% increase in TV revenue next season, but the reality is that football clubs will do all they can to drain every last penny from the fans. For the most part, at the highest level, if one fan isn't willing to pay the going rate, there will be another one ready and willing to take their place. The only way prices will drop is if people stop going and attendances fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope they leave the Season Ticket news as late as possible/as late as usual so the fans get the chance to assess our transfers and see if the European goal is rhetoric or a genuine target...

Graffito Posted 3 May, 2013 Share Posted 3 May, 2013 My renewal was £575 this season, I think... would expect a moderate rise to £600-625. Is a 9% increase moderate? I suppose by PL standards it might be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born In The 80s Posted 3 May, 2013 Share Posted 3 May, 2013 I won't be renewing. Had a ST since the early 90s, but it's got to the stage now that I really can't justify spending that amount on watching football. I paid just shy of £600 for my ST this year and it's very hard to argue that 19 games of football is worth that amount of money. It makes me sick to think that I paid over £30 for that WBA game last week. As every game is now live on TV, i'm just going to watch it down the pub and have 5-6 away weekenders.

stevegrant Posted 3 May, 2013 Share Posted 3 May, 2013 Is a 9% increase moderate? I suppose by PL standards it might be. By SFC standards in recent years it would be very moderate. I've had a £110 increase in each of the last two seasons, although naturally the rise in the level we're playing at has had a large impact on that. Last season, I paid £465 for 23 Championship games at £20.22 per game. This season, I've paid £575 for 19 Premier League games at £30.26 per game. While the actual rise for this season was 23.7%, on a cost-per-game basis it rose 49.7%. For many seated elsewhere in the ground it was an even bigger rise. It'll be interesting to see how people judge whether next season's ST prices are fair or not - would they judge them on the amount they've increased this season, or would they simply look at the price in isolation? Clearly looking at it from the angle of a 9% increase makes it look not completely horrendous, but then pushing it through the £600 barrier for renewals might be the straw that breaks the camel's back for some.

Bucks Saint Posted 3 May, 2013 Share Posted 3 May, 2013 I want a weekend games only, non midweek kick off, ST please. Not living or working locally, and coordinating my son's attendance - who lives further away - with my ex wife is a pain in the butt. Thanks NC, I am obliged.

saints_is_the_south Posted 3 May, 2013 Share Posted 3 May, 2013 £575 this season, expecting £650 for next so I'll be pleased if its less than that. Of course, with the new TV money ticket prices should be going down, rather than up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRM Posted 3 May, 2013 Share Posted 3 May, 2013 this season has seen a growth in the number of pubs showing every single saints game live , quite a few people I know go down there have a couple of pints while watching the game and have an afternoon out for a tenner, can see more people doing that if prices go up. I've cut back on away games that way. have been saving up each month and will have £600 by mid July so hoping it's not more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried that, including on SWF both before the season started and before matches. No takers but then I do have one adult and one teen ticket. Brother takes them instead (for free, he is skint) but its too much cash for me to feel good about my charity... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammysaint Posted 3 May, 2013 Share Posted 3 May, 2013 They will never reduce the price, i feel they should freeze the renewal price, i wont be wanting to pay more then 600 for my ticket again, at a push i would do 625, if they give me a cup game for free.

Chez Posted 3 May, 2013 Share Posted 3 May, 2013 (edited) Paid £465 last season. It went up to £625 thanks to the reclasification and two mates that refused to move. That's a 68% increase on a cost per game basis. With the new TV deal I see no reason whatsoever for my ticket price to go up next year. It will of course.

benjii Posted 3 May, 2013 Share Posted 3 May, 2013 Tv deal is completely irrelevant. The relevant factor is the demand for tickets. If people will pay it, it will be charged. Why would you lower prices just because you are earning more from an unconnected revenue stream? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted 3 May, 2013 Share Posted 3 May, 2013 because that's what a `club' would do. Look after it's members instead if trying to bleed them of every last penny. Yeah I know, football is a business. Yadda, yadda. Let me have my moan, that's what a season ticket price thread is there for isn't it? I'll soon shut up, before mugging mysel off by buying another one...maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMikey Posted 4 May, 2013 Share Posted 4 May, 2013 Mine was £575 this season as well, would expect it to top £600 next season. Also I won't qualify for a Young Adult ticket anymore so will have to pay full whack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
