Season Ticket Renewals - small increases (again)

[blue b4 the moon]

Pretty sure it was City Matters meeting this week. Renewals must have been discussed. Any update @Prestwich_Blue?

No longer here mate, he's proverbially took his ball home for getting abuse on here about all things matters & away tickets.

Has anyone else listened to the latest forever blue podcast hosted by Cheesy ? At the end they discussed ticket prices and 1 of the City matters reps was on talking about prices for next season , looks as if season ticket prices are going up to help reduce individual match day prices.

So they've decided to shaft the regular match goer, to facilitate the needs of tourists; who wouldn't bat an eyelid at paying an extra tenner or so per ticket.

Not all match day goers are tourists, and yes we do mind an extra tenner per ticket, would cost an extra 120 for me and my son .

For me the point here is another scenario which leads to blue and blue infighting, just like the away tickets.

The club dont have to raise the prices for seasoncards to make match day tickets cheaper, its not as though they are irretrievable linked. Just lower the prices of match day tickets whilst freezing seasoncard prices.

More interesting was that during the current season only 15% of season tickets were used for every match.

A ramification of so many season ticket holders not turning up so frequently more than anything I suspect. I missed 4 home league games myself this season but my ticket was always used. The apathy of a few thousand costing everyone else.

I realise the Cardiff game was rearranged at short notice which contributed to the lower crowd, but I was recently informed there were 15k unused tickets for that game.

Everyone has things going on in their life, but if thousands can't (or won't) attend half of the games you shouldn't have a season ticket.

That's got a few people in the boardroom reaching for the Valium!

The figure quoted in the podcast was 7000 not 15000 tickets but still a sizeable amount

I was told 15k by someone at the club, not heard the podcast.
