Ticket Prices v Brentford.

[TIL 1010 4,717]

£10 for adults, £5 for coffin dodgers and kids for a quid ! I thought that with 22,000 ish season ticket holders this sort of Scum approach to ticketing would not be necessary and only be for cup games. [;)]A sign of things to come maybe ?

I was surprised when I saw the prices on the board at the game yesterday. With season tickets averaging £22 a game not a good advert for paying £500 up front.

About the right prices for the drivel we''ve seen in the last 2 home games!

Fair enough doing this once a season, especially how we''ve playing at home of late but too often would be unfair on season ticket holders paying money up front!

[Yorkshire Canary 118]

Yes I agree as a one off it is ok although burton was only £18

[Mello Yello 2,273]

£10.00?

Makes my £850 ish annual season ticket cost ''pale into insignificance''.....

[Iwans Big Toe 312]

With how we''ve been performing recently I think it''s still about £15 too expensive.

You must sit in the padded seats at the back of the Main Stand, near the press , if you move about 12 rows forward where you''ll get the same view, it was only £560 last season though I assume you get access to a lounge at halftime which includes tea/coffee and a programme?

[CANARYKING 634]

Probably because it is a Friday night, near Christmas, it’s actually our only Christmas game next two are away, plus kids are on holiday.

[FCC 76]

Only £560? I’m not sure only is appropriate for £560.

[nutty nigel 7,506]

Surely £850ish is ok if it''s what people choose to spend their money on.

Is anybody else pining for last season yet?

[Capt. Pants 4,194]

Scandalous treatment of loyal season ticket holders. I hope the ground is half empty.

When I said ''''only'''' I was referring to the comparison to Mello''s £850, I moved to a cheaper seat as found the £560 a bit pricey for my budget but each to our own

Only the last two! Or is it only the last two you attended?

Tiny over reaction there mr pants ?

[nutty nigel 7,506]

I think I''ll boycott.

Or maybe I''ll swap my seat for one of those comfy ones if the price is the same all over the stadium😉

Something our dimwitted neighbours have not really embraced or understood. Hence poorman road being half empty.No school the next day on a night game should see a packed house - well done the club.

[Mello Yello 2,273]

Padded pew, half-time refreshments and a programme......£850 ''ish'' is pure peanuts......

[nutty nigel 7,506]

It''s not even just the season ticket for me. I spend the rest of my money how I like too....

[Mello Yello 2,273]

Not being a ''coffin dodger'' myself, I can''t possibly comment...... Neither a ''biscuit bandit'' either......I''ll leave that behaviour to your acquisitiveness associate.......

[daly 499]

Been a coffin dodger for the past 80 plus years and still think they have overpriced the offer.

Next season in TC or Div 1 they can have my season ticket

Might as well spend the money on Sky Sports and be bored in the warm

Smacks of desperation to me.What with the most expensive season tickets in the league, and now bargain basement prices for anyone who fancies it on a one off basis, we can''t decide if we''re the Waitrose or the Lidl of the Championship.A bit like Broadband suppliers, rip off your loyal customers and give all your best deals to others.

It’s an awkward situation.

Poor performances and results mean games are not sold out, there are lots of empty seats about. So the club choose to lower prices of a few matches to ge more fans in. Nothing wrong with that in theory.

But if the results don’t improve, we struggle for the rest of the season , attendances will stay low next year. If the club continue with lower prices to offset declines in attendance surely there comes a point when it would be almost as cheap to actually buy 23 casual tickets instead of a season ticket?

Based on 23 games a season it wouldn’t take much for the 2 price points to meet

[Bill 1,788]

No because there will always b games where there is greater interest, and better times of the matchthe club recognises that Brentford are unlikely to bring many fasn given the time and the business of the roads and trains on that w/e.City fans may well see this as a not too important game and with Xmas almost on them a time for money to be spent elsewhere hence the lowered price.It would not be replicated other times.It does however bring back into focus the nonsense about increasing the capacity.Firstly it is clear that were this to have magically happened over night we would be faced with a huge number of empty seats and a couple of million or so in annual debt payments without even paying off the capital/What then if someone like Maddison had not be purchasedWhat would have been the response to the sale of Murphy given that extra debt ?

Sadly this is going to be the norm now that we have blown the easiest way back to the Prem
