Myself and 16 yr old son this season for Landsdown centre £626. Next Season £599 +£199 = £798 £172 more next season Spend over £150 in club shop - 15% discount this season next none so £22.50 more Approx £30 per game in concessions, say £600 per season, 15 % discount this season , 10% next, so roughly £30.00 more ignoring any increases in beer/food/sweet prices (which there obviously will be!) So to sum up its going to cost me and my son at least £224.50 more for the same product! A bit ahead of inflation or reason. Really quite annoyed, so for reasons above we're oot....

Meh Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 Can somebody answer a question- I have tried to keep up with the threads but lots of posts. I can’t afford to stay where I am in central dolman so IF I renew elsewhere eg south stand do I take it that at midday on 29th all seats not renewed go on sell but only for an 8 hour window via the phone ie not even online?

Tomo Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 I can only speak for my own season ticket renewal, Family Stand Moved last year from South Stand - I was quite happy where we were but I had no choice relocating to the Upper Lansdown... Last Year = £372, Free Under 12, Free Shirt This Renewal = £345, £50 Under 12, Free Shirt, The renewal means if I attend all 23 games, my cost is £15 per game. If my son attends all games, lets say his season ticket effectively costs £20 (because I would buy him a shirt) & he attends all 23 games, the cost for him is just 87 pence per game, Not a Bad Deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Maesknoll Red Posted March 15, 2018 Admin Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 1 hour ago, Bar BS3 said: How is football “over priced” when the majority of clubs run at a loss..? Basic business practice is buy your product (football players) build in your overheads, calculate your required mark up = sets/determines your products’ selling price. Not many businesses continue making losses year after year, with some generous bloke binging the money in to cover them. Not long term anyway. Is football pricey..? Yes. Is it “over priced”..? Most clubs accounts would suggest not. There is away to reduce the insane costs and that’s for football as a whole, from top to bottom, agree that there is no player worth some of the obscene amounts currently being payed.

Of course, but that will not happen. Any caps on wages or transfers would just be worked around. The only fair way would be for the FA to introduce ticket price caps and then clubs have to budget accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RT's Vaseline Tub Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 They treat us with contempt and backtracking now our form has dipped off. Most of us had a 15% discount on food and drink anyway which has now been trimmed to 10% so hardly a decent loyalty scheme in my honest opinion...

Olé Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 By the way why is the discussion already becoming a debate about whether this is overpricing or not. This has never primarily been an issue of the overall principle of price increases, but of cynical selective pricing engineering long term supporters into different parts or the ground. As an overall group of supporters we are not simply looking for a freebie, we are trying to defend people from being moved out of their current part of their ground.
