I know they are a small club with a small stadium but it’s shiuldnt make a difference If you want premiership quality players then of course season tickets will go up. I don't think they will by much as the main cash injection is the premier league TV payments, but any extra money in to the club = More money to spend, it really is that simple. I bet Huddersfield fans were thrilled when tickets were £200, bet they're not so thrilled now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the theory but it could backfire. There will be people who would buy now in case we go up who might not if we are still in the championship.

This makes them an historic club, not a big one. In the modern era they've been a small, irrelevant club until 2 years ago, when they merely became small. Anyway, back on topic...

Say £125 on 5,000 season tickets extra, a measly £625k. I'd look at POTD for extra revenue whilst trying to get as many season ticket holders as possible. The goodwill from not increasing and picking up extra season ticket holders - some of whom will stay as they get the bug - is worth more, in my opinion.

Fair point, it's just the whole get something for nothing attitude that bothers me. It's better quality games and therefore they'll likely put the prices up, and in my opinion as long as it's not a ridiculous increase that would be fair.

Nongazeuse Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 I took the plunge last week on the deadline day and bought two season tickets for next season - first time in 45 years of regular support.. One thing I won't miss is the crappy booking system which basically doesn't work using my PC (Win10 so hardly old). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily. If you pay on the day, as I do, you can pretty much get a ticket somewhere in the ground for most games. That will be different in the Prem where most games (if we do ok) will become a sell out. So the only way to be sure of watching City will be to get a ST. For example, the only game I wanted to go to last year and couldn't was Man Utd. I wouldn't consider myself a plastic fan either as I did at least 10 home games and about the same away.

But it also makes sense to continue selling, with no break, without that discount. THIS 3 hours ago, Monkeh said: It’s prob more to do with updating the online aspect of selling the tickets, they’d have to bring down the Bristol sport website for maintenance to do this, The seats unsold would still be the same, so you would surely only need to change the pricing within the 'dashboard' (or whatever they call it) of the website, where you control your pricing and stock levels. That should take anyone with half a braincell about 2 minutes to update. So if anything it would only need to be offline for a 5 minutes tops to change and double check the pricing - or even just have a day offline in between earlybird and standard prices. Everything else will already be linked up to the website which is what we see and shouldn't need any maintenance at all. To take the tickets offline is pure madness imo.

If you’d have done it in a 2 week window, why not do it in the 1 day window that was available..? I agree that 1 day seems crazy short, but it was what it was. It was also possible after that time, with what was left after general sales had started, but instead you waited until tickets had gone off sale.

No, it isn't 'quite right too'.

I don’t see people moaning at him, I see people asking the sort of question that would be good to answer both on here and other media platforms. I would have thought a lot of the full time job would be looking on social media for fans concerns to raise and respond on - or have I misunderstood what fans liaison is?
