Season ticket sales

[IDM]

I’m sure we have to charge the same as equivalent stands, ie behind the goal.  So whatever the official match day price is for the SS, regardless of ST sales, that’s what we charge in the away end.?

That's my point so we can say the south stand is X amount or whatever we want knowing no home tickets will ever be sold on the day now

I'm not sure that's how it works.  We have to have a published matchday price for the SS surely?  What happens when ST holders let the club know they aren't attending, so their place can be resold?  What about cup ties?

I'm not in favour of ANY clubs fleecing away fans to generate higher revenues - we complain when we face high away prices - so why should we sink to the same depths.

Higher prices will turn off away fans so its a false economy anyway.

I found it surprising that we don’t make as much money for the catering since we moved from the dog turd we used to get served up. The season (and Matchday) prices are fine I think but clearly the club should be doing better with selling the food and drink. Can always get served for a beer within a minute in east stand and food about 3 minutes.

Since moving away from Doncaster i can only get to between 10 -12 matches a season.I have been getting the 10 match package for the Southstand .Will those still be available or do they expect me to move to the more expensive West or East stand.I have emailed the ticket office but had no reply yet.

If you could do 10-12 games you can also tell the club in advance as many as 5 games you can’t attend which will be credited towards next season’s season ticket.

This is simply not true.  Arriving within 20 minutes of kickoff you will usually queue for ten or fifteen minutes to get served. If you want to wait until the half-time whistle before joining the queue you are unlikely to get back out to see the start of the second half.

We get into ground about 10-15 minutes before kick off and 9 times out of 10 I get a beer. I can think of only twice where i’ve queued a little and that was Everton and Wrexham. I took a lass to Wrexham game and we missed the only goal of game queuing for a drink I treat them to all the good places.

Just shows how beneficial the 10 year contract was financially to us. Unfortunately, Centreplate and subsequent companies probably realised it wasn't very lucrative for them so lipservice followed with the standard of catering despite many attempts to hold them to account.

The new catering is far superior but the margins are less, while still making modest profits.

Easy to say when you're not personally losing 3.5 million a year.

At least make it the same price as the rest of the ground

Personally think the league should lobby all clubs and agree/mandate a standard away ticket price that all clubs adhere to.

The FSF had the Twenty’s Plenty campaign but then quietly dropped it after the premier league agreed the £30 away ticket cap

Absolute nonsense.
The agreement has to be ratified every season. And it was only an EPL targeted campaign.

[Rupee92ONLY]

Twenty’s plenty was premier league targeted only?
