I hope you’re not suggest we should have fewer season tickets?The problem is that we put tickets on sale at the start of the season but games get moved. So Cardiff on a Saturday is going to be more popular than the rearranged midweek game yet we’re tied into a price. Plus our pricing simply doesn’t reflect the level of demand compared to the rags or dippers. The latter only have 26k season tickets compared to our 42k. So they make more money because they’re selling up to 25k seats at match day prices rather than our 8k.
Which is much more reasonable?For some games yes, on the other hand I’ve oaid £45 for my 17 year old son and myself for games, as you said the structure of pricing games differently is probably wrong, the method I suggested was off the top of my head but it would price all 19 games the same, same as a s/c does really. The s/ c + 15% would still give the club a range of prices but from £23 up to £55 for every game.

I’m not sure about putting them on sale at the start of the season as I’m not having to do that, but if i was I’d buy United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs right at the start and leave the rest. Perhaps also buy the last match of the season just in case.
You read a whinge in everything.I think he is. All over 55’s have to give up season tickets and pay £60 quid a game on a first come first served basis by phone with the ticket office. Seems only fair as the oldies have more disposable income. Stop winging you will get used to it.
The rags make their money from match day tickets because these fans spend in the souvenir shop, spend on a programme, spend in the food outlets, spend on drink, spend on the match day experience. The rags probably have a match day ticket pool of over 1m fans and tourists realistically.The problem is that we put tickets on sale at the start of the season but games get moved.

It’s a seperate problem.Two together now is almost impossible, more no chance. I buy most of mine including the last game at the start of the season. Seats together has got harder, after the last extension there were groups of matchday tickets together every summer since it’s got more difficult as the spare seats have got scattered due I guess to season tickets holders relocating their seats, so no even buying in summer two together is harder.Which is much more reasonable?
People might want to go this Saturday, how much would it cost to take a family of two adults and two kids, thats if you can even get seats together?
Just tried to find out on our ticketing site, but it’s down!
I suggest to PB quite some time ago that the club should look at ‘shuffling’ seasoncard holders at the beginning of every year’s sales window to avoid spare seats of one dotted around and releasing more seats togetherIt’s a seperate problem.Two together now is almost impossible, more no chance.

We could do with some dedicated matchday rows or even blocks so groups of freinds or families can get seats together , it must put people off going not finding seats together. It would mean shifting a few s/c holders about though.
If not now when we extend it needs looking at.
You don’t make match day revenue from people buying Ander Herrera duvet covers. That’s commercial revenue. They do make their money on hospitality whereas for all but the most popular games we’ve got whole executive boxes and other seats going empty because demand isn’t there.The rags make their money from match day tickets because these fans spend in the souvenir shop, spend on a programme, spend in the food outlets, spend on drink, spend on the match day experience.

Season ticket holders go to the match and go home. The match day experience means nothing to them that's why the rags keep the number of season card holders low.

I couldn’t give a fuck about the prices, but others do and I’m able to empathise with them. You should try it some time.
