River End Canary 18 Posted January 3, 2019 The renewal packs will be coming out any day soon As Webber seems to be signing players to a good standard would you be willing to pay an increase on your season ticket price to fund a better squad? i would be prepared to accept a 25 percent increase if it meant a better squad next season? am I in a minority?

Feedthewolf 4,844 Posted January 3, 2019 I would accept (and expect) a reasonable increase for PL football. If the cost went up 20%, but half of that increase was refunded if we are not promoted, I'd take that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I expect an increase irrespective of division as prices have been frozen for a few years now. I just think it'd be a nice gesture to keep wavering fans on side if our season does take a turn for the worse... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king canary 7,559 Posted January 3, 2019 For some context- our cheapest season ticket is £500. A 20 or 25% increase would make it over £600. According to the BBC price of football survey only 4 Premier League teams (Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea, Liverpool) have their cheapest season ticket priced over £600.

Thirsty Lizard 3,154 Posted January 3, 2019 Worth bearing in mind that you get 23 home League games in the Championship and only 19 in the Premier League which does balance it up a bit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BarclayWazza 91 Posted January 3, 2019 Lots of fag packet accounting here but if you assume 22,000 season tickets at £500 a pop, then season ticket revenue is £11m and 25% of that is £2.75m. Which pales in comparison to the £100m + that we'd get for being in the Premier League. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted January 3, 2019 What if the price of scampi went up 25% ? It would probably mean there is a world shortage and lead to quotas and even higher prices. It could become a thing of the past at the Gunn Club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,506 Posted January 3, 2019 This "cheapest season ticket" really is a nonsense. It doesn't take into account where the ticket is or how many are available. Our cheapest tickets are available in the whole Barclay, whole river end and the three corners. Then the wings of the south and main stands are only a little dearer. Our prices certainly aren't the cheapest but comparing only makes sense if you use the equivalent seat elsewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted January 3, 2019 Our prices certainly aren't the cheapest but comparing only makes sense if you use the equivalent seat elsewhere. The price of ours isn't stopping people buying them. And I remember people were going to give up beer when it reached a pound a pint. And when fags reached a fiver. People moan about the price of fuel but by a bottle of water for more money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That may be but I still think putting them up to north of £600 would be pretty expensive no matter how plentiful they are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JayNCFC 14 Posted January 3, 2019 Simply cannot see any substantial price increases on the back of us not selling out the allocation in how many years? Inflationary 4% plus a little more - more than likely. Moreover the point for NCFC shouldn't be about getting people through the gates, but how can they squeeze extra £'s out of each of us when we are there. The food and drink offering at the ground is decent, but could be better. Decent pint systems and turnaround time would improve consumption dramatically. Look at what Spurs have in place, it isn't hugely revolutionary tech to be honest. I mean, even python lines would be an improvement and normal priced beer. The "Bottle Bank" does okay it seems, but they haven't really maximised that area I don't think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
