1960maaan Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 I was really impressed when I saw this, at least to start with . But thinking about it , our ST's in 2007/08 in the Dolman were £425 apparently . So if this is the same price in 2007 they started higher, as they got promoted to the Prem makes sense , but even so , it shows it can be done . 10 years in the top flight might make it easier not to put prices up, but they must have been tempted since, even though the team haven't done too much. Anyway , that's some freeze . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham76 Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 Fill a stadium with cheaper tickets and make up the difference on food, drinks and retail sales. Makes good business sense to me. Also better atmosphere 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great value being a Stoke fan if you disregard the football Still do. They’ve had a miserable time since relegation from the PL but as they did enjoy 10 years up there, an FA cup final and Europe, I won’t be feeling sorry for them any time soon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 (edited) He means the Financial Director and CEO I'd say. I listened to a bit of his inaugural Press Conference and it is hard to tell by Audio but they were looking a bit nervous apparently. Sweating. I do love the line "I am crazy and they are trying to stop me". Edited March 22 by Mr Popodopolous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAmNick Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 12 hours ago, cidercity1987 said: Those prices are no different to ours Eh? Our most expensive adult seat is £700, theirs is £519. The most you'll pay at Stoke as an over 65 is £399. Here it's £545. Our cheapest adult and theirs are only £20 different. So we have a similar starting price for adults, but then ours ramps up way more. Their kids tickets are £23 in every stand. If I want my 4 year old to sit with me that'll cost me £155 next season or I have to move - and then it's still 3x the price. Our under 22 are decent value in comparison to their U21 in fairness. Oh... and as a Stoke fan, you'll have got 10 seasons of Premiership football in that time, along with 2 FA cup quarter finals, an FA cup final, 3 League Cup quarter finals, a League Cup semi final, AND Europa League football. So what's the value for money there, really..? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
