Haha there was that old boy in the Charlton shirt being a right dickhead. Then a group of mouthy idiots playing the hard men behind him but doing nothing. Then there was a fight in the concourse outside block A. It was the place not to be Saturday. I was on fire and 10 minutes in I moved to the very back and stood at top of aisle whole game. I moaned a lot first half as it was worse than under adkins but that 2nd half was quality. Some good lads at back of block A as well.ricky_otto said:We didn’t bother renewing our season tickets this season. Usually sit in the Covered end upper, but chose to sit in the the covered end lower yesterday - Block A 6 rows from the front…massive mistake, thought I was going to melt and the moaning from people 5 mins in to the game was unbearable. Ended up moving to the NW quadrant 20 mins in.0 -
I did say 'for example'. It could be £20.Covered End said:
So you want to make ticket prices cheaper than most S/Ts?valleynick66 said:Time for a rethink on prices full stop. Make it a flat £15 for example if you buy for 2 games at a time.Needs to be bold needs to be different. People are struggling with costs and things like streaming and Covid mean people are less committed to the Saturday routine that once took them to football by default.Get people back in the habit. That won’t happen with penalising the floating majority fan base.If anything you can make an argument for the price to drop if you wait until close to kick off and you are left with unsold seats. I’m not advocating that but making the point the reverse strategy is nonsensical
£625, £425 and £285 S/Ts.
23 x £15 = £345.
So best seats 23 x£15 = £345 or get a S/T for £625.
Average seats 23 x £15 = £345 or get a S/T for £425.
If you charge a flat £15, you may only get about 2,000 S/T sales.
My main point was if you commit to buying for 2 x consecutive matches you get them at a discount. Its a 'win win' to coin that horrible phrase - 2 x larger home crowds because I've spent cash and will be more likely to attend and club gets revenue it would otherwise not get at all. But it has to be a meaningful discount on the price currently quoted today.
Be bold was also what I said - mucking about in the margins wont change anything.
Scrapping the penalty £3 is a 'must'. The fact it doesn't apply to cup games proves its a disincentive & not revenue enhancing.
I know people want to blame TS but be interesting to learn who else inside the club is running these numbers and making the case for or against these sort of things.

Does anyone know roughly how many £625 season tickets were sold? It seems a crazy price to pay. If you attend all 23 home games it works out at £27.17 a game. If you miss two games it works out at £29.76 a game!
The £625 season tickets seem to be the big problem in terms of match day prices. If I was the club I would be looking at ways to massively incentivise those £625 season ticket holders in other ways. They could then lower match day prices without upsetting the £625 season ticket holders.
I think a £15 match day price is probably too low given existing season ticket prices, but £20 (£460 for 23 games) and £23 (£529) - the price away supporters pay - are not out of the question if something can be done for the £625 season tickets.
As I have said before, I think all areas of the ground should be the same price, so keep things simple and scrap zoned pricing.
The late booking supplement just must be scrapped as soon as possible! It is just crazy.1 -
I agree but I tend to think if you choose to spend £34/£37 for a match ticket to sit one or two blocks along from £29/£32 that’s up to you.thetomahawkkid said:Does anyone know roughly how many £625 season tickets were sold?

Exactly this 29€ for league one football in the North Upper is crazy.Airman Brown said:

I am flying over from Finland in September, I have acom and flights booked. But paying 87€ for three match tickets for a Tuesday night game against FGR is ridiculous.
I always thought 25€ was plenty3 -
I ended up spending a lot more than £37 in the pub - but it was well worth it!Off_it said:
It's completely true.Fortune 82nd Minute said:All been said but I must add my two pennyworth.
Lovely sunny day, attractive opposition and there must be some who wake up and fancy an afternoon at the Valley. They log on to buy a ticket and see prices have gone up by £3.
They think eff that and log off and go and do something else.
The level of stupidity shown by whoever has made this decision is mind-blowing.
In reality the extra £3 is not really going to make much difference to me, but its the principle of it - £3 on top of already high prices for a shit level of football just sounds like a "fuck off" to me. Might be better off just spending my £37 in the pub!5 -
Yep, that’s the fella - was doing my head in. He literally started moaning after about 3 minutes. There was another bloke with him and a young kid, who was in tears when the knobheads behind started. I think I’ll be returning to the North Upper for the next game.cs1986 said:

You guys sure this was block A (east stand end of covered end). Its a quiet section. Not many good lads at the back either even if I do count myself as onericky_otto said:

So last year the club was falling over itself to practically give tickets away to anyone vaguely sentient and this year, in league one, against the appalling backdrop of the current economic situation they have come up with this!
Still I guess they have to fund all those Swindon gems 💎 from somewhere ………..3 - Sponsored links:

You probably saw me then. Big ugly skinhead guy and had my nephew with me and few other pals but they stayed seated most of time in sun and I didn't want to become a lobster!swords_alive said:

Conclusive evidence! Thanks both. I saw a bit of what you've described but what's thrown me was the incident? over in E or F block. No-one has so far spoken about that as far as I know and that presumably was unconnected. One of the guys i saw at the back of A block at half time had a very fresh and nasty looking injury above his eye.0

He was probably the guy that got bashed at half time by some 60 year old ish geezer. He pushed in the queue then got mouthy to the guys wife so he gave him a good few digs. It was fairly decent punches tbf and yeah his eye/forhead look swelled up. It was right next to me and my nephew.swords_alive said:Conclusive evidence! Thanks both.

Il probably have 10-15 spares over the season (unused ST), if anyone wants me to put there name on my account you can have them for £10 a game donated to my marathon fund raiser for Whizzkidz. The Cambridge and Exeter games Will definitely be unused so far.1

Effectively £30.50 for Tuesday night with the booking fee. Genuinely ridiculous prices for a Tuesday night game when crowd won’t top 10k8

Aaaaargh! Just got done over by the price increase thing. So annoying, but I suppose you only fall for it once.For balance, in case AndyG is reading, the ticket office were very helpful in sorting out my kids’ student tickets.0
