Got to take into account inflation has shot up from the start of covid
Send that idea to the club PT.
Any idea what the green car park pass has gone up to?
The big problem with comparing prices in the third and fourth tiers, and even top couple of non-league with those in the Championship and Premier League is that the huge disparity in tv versus matchday revenue enables the top two tiers to basically charge as much or little as they want, while the others canāt. On a like for like comparison lower division football is becoming very uncompetitive as a result.
While its great that virtually all season ticket holders arnāt in a market that can be competed for and will pay the prices quoted, the club also needs to recognise that having a ground with 5,000 empty seats on a good day is not good business. PTās idea is a good one, and there should be others directed at young people that donāt fall into the family scenario or are of school age - ie 16-20 somethings.

Slightly disappointed with the increase. But I suppose the club have to cover the increase in electricity, gas food costs etc .
An option they could have made to gain more sales though could have been buy a season ticket and get 10/15 % off if you buy for the year after when hopefully the cost of running the club has evened its self out a little.
Opportunity missed. No incentive!!!

Having been one of the clubs fierecest critics on the lack of creativity on the tickets and marketing front I have to say this is hugely dissapointing. I cannot believe there has not been an overhaul and we are still looking at all the same langauage, the same offers. It really isnt hard.
Itās a real missed opportunity. If the only changes being talked about are an increase in cost - with my marketer hat firmly on - again, its poor. Why are the ticket tiers the same as the Bonser era?!!

I was surprised to see the relative large increase for the lower seating, however I did expect price increases across the board. Maybe not as much as they have been.
Umming and ahhing about whether to renew, but when I consider that itās around Ā£13.50 per game in the lower and Ā£16.50 a game in the upper, itās still a good price providing I can make most or all of the games, which I can. I will renew for the coming season, possibly in the Upper, but if no real progress is being made on the pitch then I donāt know if I could renew the season after should there be another increase.

What are you suggesting, they lower the prices? Even though they are not immune from the huge increase in costs for most businesses? Then no doubt everyone will be moaning in the summer that weāre not competitive in the transfer market and wondering why.

very fair point are casual or new fans that havent been going for years going to pay this to watch lets be honest mostly awful football? us hardcore fans will but that will not keep attendances up at this seasons level unless something changes very quickly i really like flynn but its awful to watch sometimes and borders on sunday league standard.
Just found my confirmation e-mail for my and my dadās STs this season. The actual price for a wrinkly in the Lower was Ā£189 so only a 27% increase for you coffin dodgers not 33%. 
That said, itās still Ā£51 more when an adult has only gone up by Ā£47 (18%). Does seem to be disproportionate on the over 60s. 
From the figures that @SaddlerSteve and @pingu give, thatās an average of around 3% per year over the last 14 seasons - which is above the actual rate for every year except 2011. Exclude this yearās hike and it would be 1.7% - just slightly under the actual picture over that whole period.
Wasnāt too miffed at first glance, and still going to renew both STs, but when you look at it more closely it is a hefty increase to swallow all in one bite. Perhaps there has been some cock up and theyāve published the full prices without the Early Bird discount?
Oh and programmes went up last month too - a real 33% increase on them!

Sounds like a match made in heaven for you and your family. Fill your boots and do us all the favour of keeping your nonsense up in Manchester. Explains a lot to be fair - Iāve got a family member who goes to a similar number of United games per season and he knows nothing about football either

Match day tickets will be interesting , Ā£24,50 to sit in the upper for walk ups this seasonā¦ guess weāre going to break the Ā£25 barrier next season.
Thatās where my complaints would be.
I wonder if they halved the price or did 2 for 1 if they could double the attendance because that would increase food and other auxiliary sales meaning more money for the club and better value for the fan.
