It’s not directly related to this particular increase but I think a lot of the discussion on season ticket prices in general boils down to which model you prefer?
City’s, where there is a huge discrepancy between prices, depending on location in the ground. Or other clubs where the vast majority of seats are similarly priced?
I personally couldn’t ever imagine paying £1,500 +. But plenty of people seem happy to do so. So if that enables them to offer other tickets at £300, I think it’s a win win.
With this latest increase mine and my lad’s comes in at exactly £700 for next season. Great seats as well. I’d obviously prefer it if it was less. But I find it hard to make a case for that not being pretty decent value for two people to watch 19 Premier League games.
I had the Value ticket for about the first five years it was available, when I was struggling for cash a bit. It’s not ideal, not knowing where they’re going to put you. But it’s unbelievable value for those on a budget who still want to go every week.
I think the first year of it, they were £199 and my mate paid more for his season ticket to stand up at Rochdale.
