I can see the reason for a variance and you have to cut the line somewhere but almost 50% more is madness to the extreme.iaitch said:
Make all seats £525 then?Rob7Lee said:Can't knock what I pay in lower North to be honest. But wow, zone 1 £625 for league one football after the early bird is a bit of a rip off if you ask me.
Think they've missed a trick on simplifying prices across blocks in east and west. AC stand, two seats separated by an isle, one is £625 the other £425, ludicrous variance.
Never quite understood why they don't show pricing for the hospitality either and not that I've ever used it but the finance is a bit punchy at credit card interest rates.0 -
We expect owners to shell out for a playing squad to compete at the top of the league yet rue our own personal contribution to it.
It is a significant cost for most but that's the cost and economics of modern football unfortunately.
Duchatelet had the intention of (relatively) cheap/reasonable tickets but at the expense of football ambition.
In an ideal world we would have cheap tickets and an altruistic zillionaire owner bankrolling football success. Most clubs don't have this perfect scenario.
The "product" is awful and has been pretty much most seasons since I've supported this predominantly joyless outfit for 35 years and I know renewing doesn't guarantee the football or squad will be any kop.
I go because I go, because it's Charlton and it's what I've always done and will always do.
I think the squad will be worse than this year next term and just expect more of the same under the current model. Any other aspect of life you'd be mad to consider keep paying hundreds if not thousands a year to imbibe in this misery. But it's what we do.
I'll renew the early bird price and £260 for 23 games of (piss poor) football with the odd moment of joy is reasonable in this day and age.
I'm not a big fan of the owner but I find it questionable we expect them to burn their dough and yet are reluctant to contribute beyond the minimum to that.
Seems a bit entitled.
Albeit I do appreciate financially it is tough times for most. £20 a month to watch football 2 or 3 times a month is cheaper than a takeaway or sky sports subscription.20 -
Not sure whether I should renew, read some of the supposed best footballing minds ever, greater then Pep and Klopp, on here, say next years a write off, so why bother...4
-
So have I got this right? Zone 1 tickets go to £625 after the earlybird scheme.
£625 for a season ticket to watch league 1 football is mad. I doubt they will sell more than a handful at that price.
Seriously somebody needs to be appointed quickly to try and get a grip on things.7 -
It used to be one price. I think the charming Keohane introduced the different pricing. It’s a ridiculous price to charge in League One. Sandgaard should be reversing the hike in prices we got in the Roland era.iaitch said:

No not really, can't fill seats so give 1000s away from October onwards. Then decide to increase prices after devaluing the product.
Millions of us are piss broke due to bills going up, football will be the first to go, personally he/they have read the room wrong and they won't make any more money by increasing prices. My £400 ST will become 10 walkups at the very most., probably more like once a month or less when I lose the momentum of having a ticket in the draw all paid up and ready to use.

Don’t think that Sandgaard investing needs a direct huge investment from us. We simply don’t have the same amount of money.
more relevant is the price charged by other clubs especially those of similar size, set up and in higher leagues
Those clubs are finding that they “know the math” perhaps they know it better than TS!0 -
Agree with Croydon, I would have thought a small reduction would have been appropriate after the fiasco of the free tickets giveaway. Anyway after 23 years of being a season ticket and over 60 years of attending Charlton matches, next year I won’t be attending, not total because of footballing reasons but watching the crap that has been dished up this year hasn’t made the decision any harder to make. However it mostly because I will be missing the majority of the season due to holidays, and also I'm getting older and attending is becoming more difficult. In previous years I would have probably brought my season ticket and not attended just to keep my seat. Hopefully the odd game I would be able to attend no doubt will coincide with a freebie game,2

If the 3 zones in the Curbs were £400, £450 and £500 it would still be a bit silly, but more comprehendibleRob7Lee said:

The Curbishley stand differentials are unenforced and unenforceable unless it happens organically art a rare sell out.
The centre blocks of the Curbishley stand are not so special anyway, seats nearer the Covered End tend to get more of any atmosphere or second half excitement.2 - Sponsored links:

The disabled vs wheelchair prices never make much sense to me either0

Doesn’t apply to me now sadly so I can hopefully be fairly objective.I think expecting TS just to bankroll everything is a bit entitled but football is a very odd industry in that respect and, the fact is, he’s a very rich man and I guess 95% of the fan base are in some way feeling the pinch. Some to the point of making some very basic choices. Moreover, I have felt that the cost of the ST (mine was in west upper K) relative to the value of the product has been a bit too high for a few years. Roland’s singular contribution to me was to substantially reduce prices where I sat bless him. But it’s caught up with itself now as an annual rise has been added in excess of inflation routinely every year regardless of the league we were in just like my former golf club (the latter despite a massive uptake in members over the last couple of years). Obviously the latter pleasure is, like Charlton, denied me now but had nothing in my life changed I would be taking the sad decision this year if I hadn’t done so before that I couldn’t justify the expense of either. I’m not saying I couldn’t scrimp/save/borrow to afford them but affordability and justification are different things. I’m not having the “it’s only £20/£30/£40 a month” argument. There are a lot of monthly outgoings getting slashed at the moment by necessity (and a great many being kept that should be slashed I guess but that’s for every individual to justify to themselves). Please don’t presume about other peoples’ finances/circumstances).Given the current economic background and the absolute shitshow of a season we have have had, I am surprised that a smart business savvy guy like TS (especially having just seen how “fill the valley” has bombed) has missed the massively obvious opportunity to nudge a symbolic shilling off every ST. Yes, it’s not my money……..More to the point, he could have worked work out a less complicated cost neutral pricing model that would have left us with a much simplified set of prices (no more that 2 and preferably 1 in each stand) and about 75% of ST holders with a warm cuddly feeling. New broom sweeping clean and all that….I could do it in about half an hour so I assume that TS who is a far more successful guy than me could do it in less. He could certainly employ someone to do it for him but that’s another box of chocolates.
I have to say I read the long self justificatory “open letter” with a touch of disdain. Big announcement incoming folks…blah blah.. we’re doing exactly the same as we’ve done for the last X years. Cmon all you early birds. Roll up roll up!” Not necessary. And please can we get someone in the comms department who knows how the f..k to use commas!!!I set out to be objective but I’ve not done terribly well. I’m probably reflecting my own frustrations at not being able to do the things I hold dear but I still think good old TS has missed a big trick.8 -
I shall renew because I've been supporting Charlton for 57 years and will probably continue to do so until I die.
But if we don't have a major overhaul this summer and continue playing shite next season I reserve the right to take my moaning to a new level. 😁22 -
This.ElfsborgAddick said:To go from giving tickets away to then increasing prices for next year, baffling.
With what has been served up this year I'm tempted not to buy one & just get one for Jnr (Student). Then buy on a match per match basis & take up the 2 for 1's & freebies.0 -
I'd this part of the 10% increase sales pitch?0

Have to agree with this. Used to sit on the halfway line in the AC Stand since it opened. Last season though because my wife decided to return we moved a block nearer the Covered End, saved ourselves a couple of hundred pound, yet the bloke across the aisle still paying a lot more. But I have to agree that although I’ve effectively moved a whole block the atmosphere is better and I will be staying put.seth plum said:The Curbishley stand differentials are unenforced and unenforceable unless it happens organically art a rare sell out.

The only point of price increases is to increase revenue. The test is whether it does. I doubt these May rates will make much difference - they are just the starting point for next year. Not sure there is any scope for increasing match prices though.0
