Season Tickets 2018-19 - 3% average increase reported

Why should I have to pay nearly £200 extra?

Your asking the wrong poster I didn't say they should be all £500

Don't think the fans on £299, £390 and £480 seasons tickets are going to be too happy with that idea.

You're probably right, but you are missing the point. Season ticket prices are pretty much irrelevant to us as a club now that TV revenue, prize money and our partners around the world make up over 90% of our revenue.

I meant all being £500, not average. It would have no impact on us as a club.

It would impact me, it would be an extra £110 per season, yeah not a huge amount, but if they put mine up by that much, it'll be the last time they see me.

I agree their is no reason for any increases, but the fact it only makes up 10 % of our revenue doesn't mean there is a lot of room for cutting prices 10 % is £40 million as we only made a profit of £1mill we need most of that £40mill.Ticket prices certainly aren't irrelevant they are still the difference between breaking even and making FFP breaking losses.

Ok, I was using £500 as an aribitary amount. Let's make it £300 instead for all.

Even that wouldn't have much impact on us.

We employ some of the best business minds around, I'm sure they would be able to deal with a less than 10% change in revenue. They've managed to increase it by hundreds of millions a year in less than 10 years.

Everyone else's have gone up, that is why we lose out on Sanchez.

Another reason not to put them up!

No we lost out on Sanchez because we weren't desperate enough to pay what he wanted. We decided he wasn't worth it, we were right.

He doesn't seem to think that a £52M decrease in revenue would be problematic.
The owner/board would have a very different view.
