I'm with you on this Steve. I only really noticed what had happened to my own ticket price: £15 increase in RE but £15 senior discount so unchanged. I had a fleeting thought that I'd rather that £15 had been directed at attracting youngsters. Your post confirms that.Fairly happy with the adult and OAP prices for me and my dad - not a big increase. However, not hugely happy with the increase for U14s. Last season it went from £30 to £55 and this season £55 to £100 so has almost doubled from last year and almost quadrupled from two years ago.
I’ll renew for my son, but I take his mate and my nephew and due to their own football and family commitments, they don’t get to that many games, so it may be their parents can’t justify 100 quid.
You might say that £45 isn’t a lot extra to find, but it’s equally not a lot for the club. The two boys dads don’t go, so unless I take them, they don’t go, so if they don’t renew, that’s two prospective fans lost. Is it really worth it from the club’s point of view?
Letting the fans know the matchday prices would be useful in order to gauge the discount for buying a S/T.
I see your thoughts but if you can predict a s/t price why not a matchday price?Very difficult considering we don’t even know which division we’ll be in at this stage.

PlasticI’ve only made it to one game this season…. But will renew anyway
It does seem strange that they seem to be disproportionately hammering childrens’ ticket prices and not just the under 14s - not sure what they achieve from that other than potentially discouraging parents renewing and losing young fans?I'm with you on this Steve.

It's easy for me to think £15 better spent elsewhere but I suspect a great many of our older fans are not strapped for cash. I think the complaints from seniors last season have had an effect. From the few I knew who were miffed by no reduction it was more about not feeling valued rather than the money.
Us gimmers are often heard to remark concerning clothing etc "It'll probably see me out." Concerning our football club it's a certainty. We have to keep making new ones
So you may be charged extra , on top of wat you have already paid, if we get promoted?The letter from the club does warn:
"Secure your seat now! Please note that a price increase will apply upon promotion".
5 months if you are quick!Is the three month payment option still there? I’ve not had a chance to look properly yet
