Paul Chuckle Posted 18 May, 2023 Author Share Posted 18 May, 2023 Will never happen but if they priced season tickets at around £350 for anywhere in the stadium they'd get a lot of renewals and new season ticket holders. If they remain at £530 on average, then I think the club are going to be in for a shock when Season tickets sale only hit about 10'000. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure they’ll be a season ticket price “freeze” and they’ll dress it up as “four extra games for free”. Their best plan would be to get hums on seats and get the stadium packed and create an atmosphere. A half empty stadium doesn’t motivate the players or energise the fans, or subsequently fill the clubs finances. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malcolm waldron Posted 19 May, 2023 Share Posted 19 May, 2023 17 hours ago, suewhistle said: Will the ticket be better value than the £290 I paid to see each home win? I don't want to be taken for granted with high prices for an inferior product, and might pick and choose depending on other commitments. I'll certainly still go to many games, but as friends have given up going my regular seat gives me familiar faces but no more than that. If Sports Republic had any marketing nous they'd drop the prices substantially to get a full ground and a buzz going, maybe get more youngsters along too as they are the future. Count yourself lucky as that's a bargain. I missed both the Chelsea and Leicester games, so what's 0/£580?? 😠 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leighsterrr Posted 22 May, 2023 Share Posted 22 May, 2023 Bought my first ST this season, and despite the season they had I'll renew it if the price is the same (£400) and I can pay it in interest free installments. It gave me a renewed interest in the game which I'd lost, it got me and my best mate off the island regularly and without VAR...well...it can't be any worse...can it?!

That's the most expensive, there are others cheaper. Reading have made a mess of it though, relegation to league one followed by a price increase they'll be lucky to get more than 10k for some games. Also moving away fans to some stand upper tier so they can charge them more . You'd have thought Saints will need to confirm our prices fairly soon , hopefully change of board members the new guys will want to look good and offer some cheap deals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revolution saint Posted 24 May, 2023 Share Posted 24 May, 2023 I'm probably more likely to get a ST now than if we'd stayed up. I've had one on and off for last 30 years but the most recent L1 and championship seasons were my most enjoyable ones. I find it hard to get excited going into seasons thinking the best we could do would be a slightly above mid table finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustinR Posted 24 May, 2023 Share Posted 24 May, 2023 Will not be renewing. Has anyone ever owned a season ticket and not seen a win all season?? (I did miss a few games) I did a 4 hour round trip almost every other week to watch rubbish, barely any excitement, no wins and worst of all- no confidence in getting any when I set off.

rallyboy Posted 26 May, 2023 Share Posted 26 May, 2023 I'm no happy clapper but after several years of appalling value for money, £500 to keep the club afloat and hopefully see the odd good game and some wins doesn't seem too bad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitey Grandad Posted 26 May, 2023 Share Posted 26 May, 2023 Only a £20 reduction for my ‘loyalty’. A bit of a slap in the face really.

Pamplemousse Posted 26 May, 2023 Share Posted 26 May, 2023 Anything other than a reduction would have been a disgrace, so it's good that on that front they have listened to the fans and recognised that dissatisfaction is particularly high right now.

Divergent Posted 26 May, 2023 Share Posted 26 May, 2023 Well I’m pretty pleased. In the family end with 2 grandchildren. £514 for all of us - works out under £23 per game in total for all 3. I was thinking of not renewing but at a divided up £7.50 per head it won’t matter so much if games are missed for whatever reason. (And this year that’s been mainly down to the rubbish we’ve had to endure). The only bright light at the end of what’s been a long black tunnel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 26 May, 2023 Share Posted 26 May, 2023 (edited) Yeah, I'm pleased with those prices. Savings from last year, which is all they could do really. I'm glad they didn't use the ''frozen' prices line which I feared, so this is a positive for sure. I will probably get back on the waggon next year now.

100%Red&White Posted 26 May, 2023 Share Posted 26 May, 2023 (edited) I would say that's pretty good pricing on the whole, doesn't affect me as I've ditched my ST but will just be paying the going rate on the day when I choose to go. Any mention of safe-standing that was meant to be introduced this summer? Probably another victim of relegation.

Mattster Posted 26 May, 2023 Share Posted 26 May, 2023 Also pretty happy tbh - wasn't expecting a price drop at all, and I also fall in the sweet spot of having 2x 11-14 year olds in the family section who are both going to be less than half the price they would have been under last year's pricing structure.
