ZiderEyed Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 2 minutes ago, Bristol Rob said: Either way, the removal of the u25 price bracket probably makes it difficult for a number of 23 or 24 year olds to find the funds to go. The fact we're not selling out every game shows to me at least that there's no reason to remove it. Doesn't do much to encourage the younger fan in does it?

Bristol Rob Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Of course, there is another metric we could apply to this price increase... But I'm sure if they club had measured this, they would have said as part of their apology for putting the prices up and won't pick up on this as an afterthought... Is it not a case that from next season, all non Saturday 3pm games can be streamed in the UK? So they might be expecting people to opt for that instead.

PhilC Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 I expect we will be waiting a while before there is any further information on the loyalty scheme, so anyone who wants answers now will probably be disappointed. A loyalty scheme would have been welcomed by some when the Manchester games came around, (See posts Re: ticket sales procedure) so I guess they have had to look at it and haven't had that long to do so.

BS3_RED Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Not really happy with this. I sit in the Lansdown wings and with keepers ball and his boy and my two girls. City have stopped the u12 ticket and so to stay in my seat we have to pay £255 each for the kids. I can understand the clubs trying to max its income but it a major hassle trying to get 5 seats together and I do not want to sit in the upper Lansdown before anyone tells me to go there (dodgy knees and way to many steps or wait an hour for a lift).

Shoddy if that is the case - we always sit together so if he can't get a guaranteed renew of his seat then I have to let mine go too. I have the same issue.

Silvio Dante Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 I think the thing here that sticks out is the percentage. I’ve got my seat in dolman centre with my two kids. My seat goes up by £70 - 14%, whereas the kids cost doubles to £100. I can just about accept the kids increase - we choose not to be in the family corner, where we could keep the current price,and when you take the cost of a shirt off it’s still about £3 per game. However - a 14% increase is way above any metric of inflation or standard wage rise. Council tax is increasing by 6% and people are outraged - so 14%? That just feels intuitively wrong However, and here’s the kicker, they know that me and many others will pay it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAman08 Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Not too happy about the increase for some parts of the stadium but not others. I have 3 season cards dolman central. Last year for 2 adults and u12 is £912. This season £1097. 185 quid more is obscene imo. I don’t care if it “only” 3 quid more a game it effects others more than looking at it as a one off.

I agree. For the record it doesn’t affect me, but just noticed it missing. But as others have kindly pointed out it’s lumped in with concessions now, I previously believed that was only over 65’s ? Eee, when I were a lass and stood in the old Eastend I don’t think there was a ST option for that area. you went from Juvenile to adult pretty much overnight, no gently easing into adulthood back then! Now you can leave school at 16 and have a job and get discounted tickets for the next 9 years! Kids nowadays! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC Grim Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 No extension to the south stand singing section? Doesn't look like it, obviously the demand was there. A price increase?

Marlborough Red Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Concession pricing for Lansdown wings up 9% v Last year. £390 v £357. (Chippenham Red - not all baby boomers are loaded! Many on fixed incomes) Non concession Lansdown wings up 6%, £499 v £471. Centre Dolman up 14% as identified already in this thread. All increases well above wage and cost of living inflation ...WHY? After the financial gains of this season with TV revenue, Cup Ties, record 16000 ST holders etc , would have been a good gesture to reward Early Bird purchasers by holding last years prices IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alandicks Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 2 adults and two children in Dolman an increase of £246 or 23.38% rise. Having spent a fortune following the fantastic cup run this has just about finished me off. Going to be two disappointed U19's. Thanks City !!!
