They better or numbers will be well down.

A price increase would be madness and display a distinct lack of not knowing the town, the fanbase and reading the room from the collection of people we’ve assembled in this all singing all dancing infrastructure that saw our Championship season pay a CEO the same weekly wage as our players…
On that basis, I’m not ruling it out

I do find it weird that I paid roughly the same as this season for a ST 15 years ago!
I can't get my head round it no wonder the only way to survive is have the owner pump in their cash.

What was the price this season? I've forgotten.

£349 which is ridiculous if you compare it to what every other venue has gone up in that time.

Yep, was going to post similar.
I doubt SS could afford to lower the prices, but I think it would be a risk to increase the prices after a disappointing season (just my opinion)
I think prices will remain similar, either that or a pretty modest increase
@Briggs5 IIRC I paid £349 this season, similar to over 10 years ago as PoolSeasider says

£369 you must have paid 20 for the plastic card.

Yes I quickly edited the amount after a typo, well spotted.£369 you must have paid 20 for the plastic card.
Cheers @poolseasider and @Dave62 .
You're right, it is a decent price. I just think that psychologically, if it increases, it will put quite a few off renewing.

There was talk of the lower price strategy, where if you hit maybe 10k everyone pays say 280.
But that scheme ideally has to be met with a buzz, right now it seems only a new manager would do that, unless there's a dramatic end of season.
It would be a shame to waste it with a fanbase not fully on board, right now it might just help keep numbers higher, but if used ideally it could help us grow.

The only buzz in the ground is the PA system.

Right now, but some simple steps could turn it round in no time.

How about we pay £5.00 for every goal scored? At the moment I'd be quids in at a cost of £285.00 for 57 goals scored. To reach the actual cost of this season's season ticket - £449.00 - we would have had to have scored 90 goals by 30th April. That is a figure that only Peterborough and Bolton might realistically reach this season.

Hopefully we’ll also be able to pay monthly, like many other clubs do.

No post Championship bounce, big expenses with training ground and East Stand and a complete squad rebuild won't come cheap.

I don't believe the prices can go up by much given the poor seasons & what some people can afford or are prepared to pay. It just highlights how unsustainable football is. The pay monthly option would be a good idea for those who can't afford to shell out all at once, providing it's not reliant on credit ratings.
Just a word of warning on that one the interest rates are very high if that option is taken up

Oxford Utd didnt charge interest ,if they can do it surely we can ,why do we charge so much for the V12 service ?

I only said it because a friend of mine refused to get one monthly last year because of the interest, just saying to check it out before signing up that's all, it may have changed hopefully it hasOxford Utd didnt charge interest ,if they can do it surely we can ,why do we charge so much for the V12 service ?

I am saying we will lose a lot of fans because of the interest charged , would love to see us going to an interest free scheme spread over 10 months and this should be open now . If the likes of Oxford can do it so could we . As for costs to the club to run such a scheme I dont know ,but it is better to get extra fans in maybe at a lower monetary gain than lose them altogether ,maybe I am being simplistic.

I can see it going up, remember Sadler said he couldn't afford to fund the club completely and we all have to do our bit. I'm expecting it to be £399 for a standard adult season ticket. I think that would be a mistake but costs don't go down or stay the same just because it's been a poor showing on the pitch and a disappointing season. If £369 gets us Norburn and Joseph, those wanting it reduced had better brace themselves for Devante Rodney upfront and Uncle Albert playing wingback!

Won’t matter to most on here as they’re not renewing anyway 
Just check out the cost these days of seeing any popular music artist. Arctic Monkeys was over £100 each and it was crap. Plus many roll out their new music knowing we’ve all turned up to hear the classics.
£20 a game is still cheap when you compare it to most things these days. It’s 3 x Pints in a lot of pubs.

Sorry i misunderstood, i personally think they should charge £200 and fill the place and get money on the shop and beverages, but that seems to simple for the club

We have to come up with better ways to incentivise fans.
I've always thought once the season tickets have been sold they should do a scheme where you can 'save a seat' so you maybe have to buy 6 games and then if you've not bought that seat a week or so before a game it goes on general sale.
Give those who are out of towners, shift workers etc an opportunity to feel part of the club.
