Renewed or not renewed. Please post here

[tts_city]

I have not renewed our tickets (three of us) having just paid more business tax than cafe nero last year im a bit skint, the extra £150 to renew and do it early is the straw thats broken the camels back.

[Port Said Red]

renewed. Still the cheapest option.

[NickJ]

No x 6.

Have renewed , in south stand singing section , I had to pay £50 extra last year , although didn’t get much sympathy on here.  Was told better facilities.  View etc 

I made that point that the club stealthily upped the cheapest ST at AG by £50. The correct response from the club was to make the whole SS £299 but that would have been sensible. 

[alandicks]

Not renewed x 4. Kids affected in Dolman by 54% increase.

Lots of upset from kids but can't accept this outrageous increase.

[Bar BS3]

Not renewed yet. 1 adult plus 1 under 12, in Dolman. 

I will definitely be renewing my adult ticket. Unsure yet in bothering with my sons. 

I think £99 with a free shirt is still decent value, but the principle of doubling the price for him overnight is not on. 

 

[italian dave]

There's a lot of 'not renewed's with no indication whether they're going to!

I haven't renewed yet, but I'm going to. I just don't want the money going out of my bank account any earlier than it has to.

Ouch. That some revenue lost for the club. Good on you Nick. 

[Marlborough Red]

Not renewed yet.  Can afford the increase in Over 65 in Lansdown wings but like many ,upset with other increases .

 

Club need to feel the pain .

[Bar BS3]

I think the club need to be VERY worried about this thread and realise that people are not happy and this pricing could cause a lot of damage to the substantial growth that we’ve seen over the last 2 seasons. 

There are names on here that I know live & breathe City, that have not renewed. 

I’d very much like to know exactly how many have..?

I haven’t renewed and none of my friends have either 

Just to clarify my position. I’m an OAP so my increase would be approx £60. I have a reasonable income so it’s not the £60 that’s the main problem. The increase is approx 18%, which is farcical. Nothing else I buy has had that sort of increase. I also object to being forced to renew in March to guarantee my seat. Finally I object to the way the club has treated other supporters in different locations and age groups. BCFC / City seem to regard regular supporters as a bunch of mugs who will pay regardless of how we are treated. Loyal supporters are not rewarded.

Perhaps they have a “when we get to the Premier League we can charge what we want so we may as well start now” perspective. If so they are deluded. Matches against teams such as Man Utd would sell out but there wouldn’t be a sell out against 50% of the other teams. We had good attendances this season against Crystal Palace and Stoke, but that was due to the novelty factor and cheap prices. Full (inflated) price against teams like Stoke in the league would not be an attractive option on a regular basis 

[Ivorguy]

Too far away to buy a season ticket but highly impressed by other fans taking a stand on principle

This is a far wider problem than City.  Part of the increasing dislocation between fans and modern corporate football.  Made worse in City's case by all the pr re community club, Bristol owner etc etc.

Just the sad reality.  I really can see the bubble bursting at some point.  Hardly worth it to corporate business if they have no clients/ fans coming along to matches.

On a practical note would like to see the players dip into their bank accounts to help those who are physically disabled purchase tickets

[mozo]

Not renewed, price

[Red Army 75]

Not yet . But change in my financial situation. I will have to use the monthly option. Also always part of my sons birthday present in April. Sort out City ffs . Use common sense and hit everyone with a increase. No problem with that. And let people sit where they want. 2 steps forward. 5 steps back

Why should they?

[RSR73]

Not renewed due to £70 unjustified increase for myself in Dolman, and even more for others elsewhere.

The players do plenty for charity. The club are the ones who are ripping off the elderly and disabled. And they ain’t getting my renewal unless they change their pricing. And I’m not impacted by it. 

[Redmycolour]

Must admit I've renewed, im disabled, got a carer tkt,extra £60,in S/S, not very happy with the increase but I love CITY, and I enjoy my time watching the REDS,don't think the management will change there minds,but here's hoping, 

[forbespm]

I renewed x2 straight away.didn't realise all the controversy as my tickets stayed the same in price

[oldland3]

Three of us sit in Dolman row 13 discounted this season due to restricted view, we have not renewed yet,see my new topic on this

[Red Army 75]

Watching the big match revisited this morning. Reminded of when my old man use to take me . And sit me on the wall of the enclosure. I was infatuated with City. 36 years on . They risk losing hundreds of kids. With the same feelings 

[ESSEX ROBIN]

I can afford it but haven't renewed because of the utter contempt they are treating people I spend nearly 100 plus on a home match travel to get to matches never thought this club would treat fans how they have in there attitude

Any flags Saturday harry ? 

[MC RISK77]

Renewed on day one...for me it is still the cheapest option but I can understand why others have not.

You or anyone else has no reason, in that instance, to do anything other than renew forbespm. A fair few are cheesed off about treatment, prices and timings but won't think any worse of you for renewing, why should they?

I was going to renew but held off until hearing what happened at the meeting, I may not bother at all now but we'll see.

Think he must have been told to maintain radio silence.

[Steve Watts]

I will be renewing, but can't yet until they go on sale to members.  I am affected by the price as I'm getting my kids their first season tickets.  As much as I'd like to stand firm, I have to do it for my little boy particularly.  He's chomping at the bit an so excited because he's been told he'll be getting one so I can't disappoint him. 

I'm affected by the removal of one free kids ticket in the family stand so I have to find an extra £100 for my twins instead of £50.

I did, its been obvious since the birth of SLs Bristol Sport that we are now customers and not fans, i don't like it and wont buy into it, its not the club i have supported for over 60 years, 2 years now without a season ticket and TBH i wont be getting another x3.

Out of interest TJ, what would they have to change in the experience for us to get that back? I don't disagree at all by the way, I do agree with you but am unsure why I feel I'm being treated differently.

[CheddarReds]

Not renewed yet. Impacted by pricing. My twin, father and I have risen from about £600 to over £1000.
