Match day ticket prices for 2022/2023

Even that absurd season ticket price of £625 allows the one off matchday price to be as low as £28 - £34 is self defeating to an idiotic degree.Airman Brown said:
Yes, but that explanation is also out of date now, since the majority of sales are online. It’s also doesn’t explain why the higher rate has now been extended to the day before.Covered End said:
The reason (not saying it's necessary) is because years ago, you arrived at the turnstile handed over your money and entered in a matter of seconds.valleynick66 said:
That normally equates to a reserve game with the pathetic excuse our players need to prioritise league games.thetomahawkkid said:How about also including home cup games within the season ticket price? It's not much of a financial gamble for the club. Think of the goodwill be that would create.Fair suggestion though.Drop the penalty price for sane day purchases. Today is a good example…weather pleasant not originally inclined to go but now fancy it but if it were a league game I have to pay more. Just why is that necessary?
Now you turn up at the ticket office, possibly have a discussion about where you want to sit, then get allocated ticket(s), pay electronically (probably), this I would say takes minutes, not seconds.
Then you have to go to the turnstiles and often queue as someone can't get in etc etc...
The process possibly takes 10 mins in total, rather than 30 seconds and requires more staff.
I think most fans don't generally turn up much earlier than they used to.
So buying in advance helps to reduce queues and staffing costs (imo).
You can’t have cheaper prices on the day because that is a disincentive to buy early and has no real logic, but you can scrap the increase. It’s aggravating, probably reduces rather than increases revenue, and nobody would be adversely affected by getting rid of it.It’s just another example of the “other clubs do it” mentality which also led to the latest attempt at a membership scheme. The missing bit is why and how successfully, which is rarely asked.I don’t think at this point the £34 price can be cut to £23, because of the absurd £625 season ticket, but £23 is about fair for most seats. I can see £29/£32 producing some very low match sales in L1.0 -
Unless the decision makers are even more incompetent/moronic than they appear, I'm at least half expecting them to reduce match day prices after the first Saturday game v Derby, when they've only sold 1,000 or so and realise they'll be selling a few hundred for following games.2

Isn’t the next league game at home on a Saturday after Derby the same day as a planned train strike ?Covered End said:Unless the decision makers are even more incompetent/moronic than they appear, I'm at least half expecting them to reduce match day prices after the first Saturday game v Derby, when they've only sold 1,000 or so and realise they'll be selling a few hundred for following games.1 -

Heads up for anyone purchasing a match day ticket for tomorrow that the prices have increased now
With this in mind, for the 2022/23 season, supporters purchasing match tickets at least a day before matchday will receive the early-buy discount. For example, the early-buy discount for a Saturday game ends at 12am on the Friday before the matchday.

It would be interesting to know how many tickets are sold with the supplement. I suspect not many! The seat next to mine in the AC stand is now £32 for tomorrow. In times when most people's finances are being severely squeezed this seems too much to pay to watch third division football. I think this is something the club urgently need to sort out.16

I see what they're trying to do, but it's not a west end show where you can scalp the last few tickets. It's football, prices could or should increase as fewer seats become available (if at all)1

Is there a price increase for the Carabao cup match on Tuesday for those that don’t buy in advance or is it just league games?1

Going to be a poor attendance tomorrow we reckon?1

I hope I bump into the owner tomorrow he’ll be told a few truths about team Recruitment and ticket price’s0

Good question.MStuartPerm said:Is there a price increase for the Carabao cup match on Tuesday for those that don’t buy in advance or is it just league games?0 -
Doesn’t usually apply for cup games. I think £15 is already pushing it for this competition.MStuartPerm said:Is there a price increase for the Carabao cup match on Tuesday for those that don’t buy in advance or is it just league games?2 -
Looking at the ticket sales for the QPR game. It looks as though people agree with you.Airman Brown said:

Nobody much buys the League Cup early. No point. So we’ll only see on Tuesday. It’s not going to be a record low.
As the Norwich example showed in January, closing stands reduces the crowd and opening them increases it. As such closing areas probably does not save money and I wouldn’t do it, except for the trophy.

37 quid. They're having a laugh.1

Agreed, but £26 in the lower north, still expensive, but if I wanted to cut down on costs that's where I would go.Wheresmeticket? said:37 quid. They're having a laugh.0 -
I assume that’s where the upper tier people will be buying… if not sitting.Clarky said:

I was thinking about making a late decision to go to this one now, but £32/£37* for League One football is an absolute fucking pisstake.
(* I don't do behind the goal, with the peasants!)5 -
I was going to buy a ticket last night but as I work shifts I checked with work today if I was needed tomorrow and I'm not. Went to buy today and price risen. £3 isn't much but why penalise those buying a day before the game, still in advance.Off_it said:I was thinking about making a late decision to go to this one now, but £32/£37* for League One football is an absolute fucking pisstake.

This is going to be a common feature for me this season, one reason why I haven't renewed my season ticket. With this price rise now in mind from 12am Fridays, I'm not even going to contemplate going to The Valley if I only find out I am off matchdays on that Friday. £3 each time does add up, and can't help the way work shifts are told to us for weekends.
Further to this, why penalise those buying online early or even on the day, what effect does that have on staff in the ticket office? Kind if understand match day walk ups, even if think its detrimental to wanting to 'Fill The Valley' but online ticketing price rise? And in advance?!11 -
Exactly. It’s unnecessary and will drive away floating / wavering fans.Markg2004 said:

The club clearly isn't worried about helping its fans in the cost of living crisis and isn't bothered that its pricing policy may affect the numbers that may wish/can afford to attend, as it is predicting a bumper crowd tomorrow.
We'll see.6 -
