I think it’s funny that people start arguing the price per individual game, if they buy a bulk purchase. I mean if you buy a buy of multi-bag of crisps you don’t expect to pay 40p for each packet, you want it lower than you price expectation.
I think it should be £25 maximum buying a singular ticket, not the £40-50 they charge. If you buy a season ticket it should be a £300 overall the ground as it’s a bulk purchase and you’re making a larger commitment to the club. No-one can state that Sky moving games have not caused you problems getting to games due to uncontrollable circumstances, and this is an aspect of the commitment that you are making.
I do have sympathy with the club, as offering lower prices will encourage the purchase, but why should stop existing fans getting these tickets. I am hoping that after the expansion we can see an overall reduction in prices of all tickets as of the supply increase. The deposit idea will only work with everyone being willing to pay top money and I honestly think that this will not encourage the amount of people that are willing to pay the lower amount. However it will encourage a larger part of the richer cliental they obviously desire, shown by the ability of fans to have the opportunity to buy loyalty points or the ability to buy a blue membership (matching cost of my desired match day ticket price) over a general. The demand is there with the club getting bigger leading to these increased costs. Football as much a middle class sport as working class sport, and the prices are matching this.
