If we drop it 50% are we going to get an extra 50% attending? Who makes up the shortfall if the people don't turn up. IMO if people want to go they will find the money, if people don't really want to go then cost is the easiest way out. Do you genuinely think that if tickets for Newcastle or Villa were £15 (and the full stadium was open) we would have sold out? Although you forget that the more people through the gates, the more people are buying food/drinks/merchandise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Dante Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 In practical terms, what you will see here is no further increase from the published price if we go down - so anyone can then see if LJ is in charge if we do go down, and all they lose is seat choice. If we stay up, expect a further increase. As for saying they should publicise discounted prices if we are relegated - behave. I don't think any club one point off safety with nine games to go would do that as it smacks of defeatism. The bottom line is season tickets had to go on sale about now as the club will budget for that revenue stream at this time of year. Unless they'd done a blanket reduction irrespective of division, a freeze was always the most likely price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but you get the point being made don't you? It's actually the most effective form of protest when dealing with this particular owner as it's talking a language he understands - money. His aim is to enable the club to stand on its own two feet financially - so season ticket holders walking away from his business model in their droves is the opposite of what he's trying to achieve. That sort of protest talks far more eloquently to Lansdown than booing or banners pointing out his chum is vertically challenged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition to the 15% off the pies, you can also get in free to watch the ladies (ideal for someone who hopes, one day, to become a dirty old man!) and you can get in free for U23games and keep an eye on our brilliant youth policy. If you miss out on all this it may be a cause of regret because we are due a great season next year! in fact every third year we get relegated back to Lge 1, we are the Norwich of the Championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's truely unbelievable that we are anywhere near relegation. I have witnessed "car crash" seasons before and we seem to have recovered. The last promotion seasons was one of the most enjoyable I can recall - even with having to watch league 1 teams. I really enjoy the matchdays and whilst I would prefer to stay in the Championship, I will still watch in League 1. I feel something is building at Ashton Gate and I hope I live long enough to see it all come to fruition. I still have happy memories of us in Division I before it because the Premier League.

Nibor Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Might not be a popular view but I think those are some very reasonable prices and given the investment we've had in the facilities and team it's a very good job done by the commercial arm of the club in keeping rises to a minimum. We've got some fantastic value there for young fans too which is the most important thing in making sure we continue to inch the blue few out of existence. I have been impressed with the work done on the stadium and the way in which the commercial people have tried to improve things by listening. No they haven't always got it right and no not everything is to my liking but it's a lot easier to accept that when I can see that they're trying to improve. I'd like to see the structure of prices and benefits made far simpler but I can live with it because overall it's good value. The first team results have been shite but that's the football side of the club's fault and nothing to do with the commercial operation which has grown revenue to support more investment in playing staff. We just need to find a few hundred thousand more to rid ourselves of LJ and we'll be all set. If we do end up in league one these prices are still not bad considering what we were paying last time we were there - about the same. I hope the process of actually buying tickets is smoother than it has been in the past, it seems they have over complex systems for managing all of this.

Bat Fastard Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 The only time I felt like that was under Pulis, when the football really was bad - but I reasoned that I don't go to watch the manager - I go to watch the team. Managers change meore frequently than most other employees at the club. Good times tend to come back - it will be a pity if you miss them! Hope you change your mind and come back back because we need everyone to give the club every advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
