And I guess as the issuer of said season tickets, they are the authority, not hogesar from the Pinkun Forums. *sigh* Whether on a technicality the club sees you as a season ticket holder or not isn't the point being made but since you've not grasped that several times over its probably best for all if we just leave it there.

CANARYKING 639 Posted December 1, 2020 Can’t understand what everyone is arguing about, ST are still ST now and will be next season unless they have stopped paying the DD . If they have asked for their money back they will still have the various deadlines to renew next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But £30 for 2,000 fans to watch Sheffield Wednesday? When every one of your target market has access to the game via a stream? I mean it makes commercial sense, there are plenty enough people happy to pay it; they'll wonder what on earth I'm unhappy with whilst I wonder how they can't see they're being mugged. I just think for a significant number of season ticket holders it'll be seen as another in a long series of the club trying to squeeze every possible penny out of them when it could have been an opportunity to curry some favour with a fanbase who've lost a critical connection to their club for the past 9 months. "recent seasons" didn't limit capacity to 2k people, did it? Honestly, if you don't want to go or can't afford it, don't go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Given how long it took to sell the tickets, I suspect a significant chunk of season ticket holders are of the same mind, which I think says a lot about the pricing.

There is no question though that the current situation will have affected sales, especially when you factor in that the game is available to all on iFollow.

Use your common sense, Commonsense. Might need to give that head of yours a wobble first. £30 isn't actually the going rate. The average cost of the cheapest ticket in the Championship from 2018 was just over £20.00. As I previously mentioned, the cost for a guaranteed sell out again minnow Man Utd in the FA Cup when it would have been a Premier League team against a Premier League would have been £25.00 only a few months ago. So how can they think that it's now worth £30? To be honest, I suspect season ticket holders willing to pay it will get at least two bites of the cherry if it stayed like this all season. I wouldn't be at all surprised if there are a good percentage of season ticket holders who will give it a swerve, either for shielding reasons or because they don't want to be ripped off. Therefore with 16 home games left this season and probably significantly less than 16,000 season ticket holders applying for each game (I would bet it'd be closer to 10,000) and 2,000 fans allowed in, those that don't mind having their pants pulled down by the club will get at least two games to watch at the ground, maybe even three. I'll be watching Norwich United in the FA Vase. For an old **** like me it'll probably cost me a fiver so I've no complaints and it's live football at a club with a very welcoming clubhouse followed by a chinese takeaway from Constitution Hill.

Kenny Foggo 1,116 Posted December 5, 2020 It's £30 at Xmas when people have already forked out for next year... The club might want to rethink if more are allowed in.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
not a clue 19 Posted December 5, 2020 Not being funny, but i could afford the £30, but chose not to go (Covid related). As my mate said it does also give non-season ticket holders a chance to go, a bit like cup games... anyway I’m becoming an armchair supporter (boo hoo) Good win (eventually) today.

OTBC If we stay top then they will have no problem selling the tickets, but as you say it's a great chance for other fans to financially support the team rather than rely on ST holders. I know I'm prepaying for next season but on top of what I'm paying already another £30 means sacrifices elsewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
