Adult Terrace tickets down 40% to £179 next season.
If this brilliant price doesn't work to bring in extra punters...nothing will.

I wouldn't have expected to renew next season, as I didn't this season. I will now. Excellent move by the club, albeit brave ..... I really hope they are rewarded with a good take up of people buying.

Really, really brave move by the club and I hope they are rewarded by a huge increase in sales.
ditto the comment re Carling renewals but I understand the financial risks already taken by the club on the terrace tickets.

Best thing the Club have done for Years!!! Brilliant idea, and a very brave one.
It is difficult to do exact sums without know the detailed numbers, but he slash is probably costing around £20k in money lost on those who would have renewed anyway. Therefore, the Club will need to sell around 130 "extra" tickets to make this up. I reckon that is more than achieveable. I have not had ST for 4 years, and will 100% be getting one now, and I have spoken to three others already who have said same.
I really hope it works for the Club, not just from a financial and short term point of view, but also in terms of increasing numbers in the ground (ie these people who buy them go most weeks) and therefore improving the atmoshphere and product. Could end up, hopefully, being one of the most positive steps the Club has taken.
I am guessing with the West Ham move coming up, the Club felt now was the time to take some action on this front, so fair play to them.

Why the club are only giving "huge" savings to terrace season ticket holders is somewhat unfair to others. Maybe historically the sitting members have been more (percentage wise) likely to renew, to retain their seats? I applaud the decision to reduce prices, but surely it should have been across the entire structure involving season ticket holders?Auntie Merge wrote:Really, really brave move by the club and I hope they are rewarded by a huge increase in sales.

I never renewed last season as the price went up but will do so now. Well done to the club, hope we are giving leaflets out so the floating fans that come saturday can see the offer.
I done a little calculation and the club lost out on £50 from me by not renewing last season and only hand picking games this season.

Good point about advertising it Saturday. I presume that's the reason it's been released today, and not left until season's end?
Is this a sign that the club are beginning to Forward think? :shock:

Well done Club brave decision but one that could be a shrewed one.
For everyone one sold means that People will turn up to games with 17 quid extra in their pocket.
Lets hope the Club are rewarded and they recoup the money in other areas.

I too would like to congratulate the club on this move.
I've never actually bought a ST in the past which is odd considering the very few number of home games I've missed throughout the last god knows how long.
Anyway, I will definitely be adding my name to the list of 'new' season ticket holders. Superb value & I hope the club gets the benefit it deserves out of reducing the cost.
