Season Tickets 25/26?

[wokingcardinal]

No mine did the same - they’re looking into it. Offere me the same seat ( which I never use)

Yes, same here - acknowledges that there's £0 to pay and then requests payment of £299.

pay up you tight wads!! ;)

You’re just jealous!

Just gone onto a few clubs sites and Sutton’s are £349, Braintree £360 and Southend £400 ( last year) so pretty good value - particularly with the instalments

[DeckOfCards]

Is it just me who thinks a 20% price increase seems a bit steep given the tosh we've been served up a lot of this year

[Carded]

The price rise is the reality of trying to run a full-time football club sensibly rather than having Volpe throw money at it without even knowing how it was being spent.

We had our chance of cheap season tickets and a big budget under Katz and Sarll - and they blew it.

In isolation, 20% would appear a big increase, but it's more a case of last season being cheap.

Compared to other clubs our season tickets remain very competitive

[HG Wells]

Just compare them to other clubs and there isn't anything to grumble about. If we want to be competitive on the pitch, we need to bring in funds. History has shown just chucking money at the club doesn't work. Its got to be a sustainable club on and off the pitch and this is one part.

[KT22Card]

All renewed, efficient plus paid extra for plastic tickets, job done .

[readingcard]

A 20% increase is a significant jump — let’s be honest, charging £24/£22 for entry is steep for the National League. That said, it’s in line with what many other clubs are doing.

Many of us, myself included, will buy a season ticket regardless of the price. But if we want to grow our fanbase, attract casual supporters, and build bigger crowds, pricing has to be part of that strategy.

I can personally afford £299, but it’s important to consider those who can’t — especially families or people buying multiple tickets. It adds up quickly.

Let’s not forget, performances this season haven’t exactly been inspiring for long stretches.

We’ve got a huge catchment area and a lot of untapped potential. But right now, we’re often playing in front of more empty seats than full ones. Striking the right balance is a real challenge for any club and its ownership.

What price point would you suggest?

[WFC96]

In reality, not one of us knows how much it costs to run a football club at this level. If TJ says that we need to up our prices by 20% as the previous price is unsustainable then I fully believe him. They'll have done price sensitivity analysis on this decision.

If its easy to charge £250 then why does barely anyone else do it? Rochdale charge £200 and who the f knows what Eastleigh are doing charging £99 in January. Didn't realise they were that deperate. But other than them, we're probably in the bottom quarter in terms of pricing still.

[Cruncher]

It will be interesting to see if it's the tipping point for many people.

Whilst it is still very good value, no one can argue that, it probably makes it somewhat less worth it for the casual fan that will maybe go to 10-12 games. There is a fair few season ticket seats by me that are left empty for >50% of games, maybe the extra £50 will put them off.

20% is a sizeable increase, along with 10% last year, There may well be a few people that just can't afford the £300, They may have only been going because of the good deal that it was. Shame if that is the case, as I said earlier in the thread, we all want this community club......but only aslong as you can pay your way.

[Red and White Army]

Worth noting that our early bird season tickets 10 years ago for the 15/16 season were £295.

Next season seems a lot when you compare the increase to last season (and the £99 ones we had for a bit) but in reality it’s a 50p per year increase from 10 years ago😀

Where exactly do you think this huge catchment area extends to?

[devereux5000]

As mentioned before, see the Laffer curve on taxes and governments. Sometimes putting up prices can lead to lower revenues due to lower demand. It remains to be seen what the result of this will be.

[Kingfield Ender]

We simply cannot sit back, pay less and let Todd Johnson lob bucketloads of cash around.

We have to play our part too

100%. I've just purchased three. For as long as I can remember, I've put aside £50 a month for the previous year and take my season ticket money out of it. Whatever is left over is spent in the club shop. As it is, the kids might be funding their own kits this summer.

[KT15 Card]

If a tinpot club like Braintree are charging 60 quid more than us then please take my money.

I just hope the product is better than these past two seasons.

Not many were actually advocating for less really. I expected an increase...slightly more than I had hoped for but understand why.

Will it lead to less sales? Maybe, maybe not. On the back of 2 consecutive below par seasons, despite the obvious upturn under Ardley that might be more of a factor.

We already know from Jody that there will be more coaching staff and therefore that's more money that has to be funded, but the additional we are paying will be little compared to what Todd is putting in.

Overall makes sense and whilst it is a big hike, when compared to other clubs at this level, it still represents great value.

[Kingfield Ender]

A few good signings will push ticket sales

Wasssssssssimaaaaaarrrrrr!

[Kanu's Nan]

I think it should be higher.

[Cruncher]

Does it say when our current seats are reserved until? I cant see it anywhere but could be missing something.

This is the most sensible thing you have ever posted.

[H Card]

Lets be honest no one is ever going to be happy. Still think the price is good in comparison to other clubs and there is little the club can really do to balance out the costs. As been mentioned the price will look better if we have a good season.

My favourite meltdown over prices I have seen was when we went from £99 (crazy) to 129 (i think) and people still said THATS A 30% INCREASE"!!!!!!! (i didn't detect irony at the time)
