Unfortunate, things change, we all have to adapt.JohnnyH2 said:
Part of the Lower West was first built in the summer of 1994 and there will be people who have had the same seat since thenSword65pf said:
Was the west stand built 34years ago? Or 28? And have they all sat there for that long? no I’m not on a wind up, I sympathise but that’s the way it is, pick a new seat. Sorry if I’m not towing the line, but unpopular or not it’s my opinion.DOUCHER said:
That you don’t understand why people who have sat in the same seat for 34 years are pissed off that they have to move - putting aside all the things a lot of them have done for the club - says it all - u must be in a wind upSword65pf said:
😘no examples then?Croydon said:
Oh it doesn't piss me off, so don't pat yourself on the back too much. You are just clearly the 'plonker' here, not me.Sword65pf said:
That’s because you disagree you plonker!!,instead of sweeping statements provide examples, didn’t realise you were the charlton life post quality police,That’s quite an achievement, I take great pride that it pisses you off so much. Yet another precious fucker no doubt. Have a lovely rest of the day😂👍Croydon said:
You consistently have some of the worst takes this forum has ever seen. Almost impressive.Sword65pf said:Don’t really get people getting precious about moving seats, probably not even that far, like it or not we are basically renting/ buying the seat for a season, if the club decide not to sell that seat, which is they’re prerogative, if you want to still attend there are other seats available.0 -
Very good question!VanbrughHill said:Can I ask if there is either any information regarding the V4/V10 finance scheme which explains when the payments are taken. Is it now at the point of renewal or at the start of the season?Looks as if it’s an upfront payment of c£150, then the rest split over the agreed 4 or 10 months.
presumably you’d be able to pick what date in the month it comes out on?0 -
This is one probably for Airman as I remember asking similar earlier in the season that we used to charge away fans based on Upper CE but then it got changed to Lower CE or told to by the EFL or something like that?killerandflash said:
Agreed. The gold pricing would actually make more financial sense if the away fans were in a more expensive side stand, as that way you could charge then £35 (not that I'm suggesting that).Airman Brown said:On Gold game pricing the actual increase for away fans is £3 adults, £2 concessions and £1 kids. Let’s be generous and assume that there is a very high percentage of full price adult sales to away fans, so the average price increase is £2.50 including VAT - about £2.08 x 3,300 away fans = £6,864 net.
if we assume the average net price of a home match ticket is £20 (lots more concessions and kids but quite conservative even so), you only need to put off 300-350 people to offset the extra away revenue. I don’t think you can argue the effect is zero, otherwise why not charge the higher prices for every game?The home sale on yesterday’s numbers will be far smaller than the away sale, if we take the club’s ST claim at face value, and as above the concession rate is higher. So we are probably talking about £10k/£11k total uplift in revenue minus the lost ticket sales minus related ancillary sales (which admittedly aren’t worth much next to tickets).
I can see a business case if there is genuinely strong demand for a game, but Sheffield Wednesday, Norwich, etc? Not really. I think you just give people a reason to stay at home.
Instead, as they are priced at the same price as the cheapest stand (lower CE), the big effect is on the individual prices of the side stands. Resulting in empty stands.
I'm not sure any of our remaining games are that attractive to the neutral. And the cheapest ticket to see Norwich at £30 is way too much. And for my seat in the Curbs, £40 is ludicrous. They're hardly glamorous, and our football isn't exactly "premium quality" either. The hardcore fans will be very happy watching us grind out the points to keep us up, but it's hardly a fun watch for the neutral...
I think the club had its pants pulled down on that ruling. My seat in K block is directly opposite the top section of the JSS so why can’t we charge away fans more for going into the JSS upper section at least? The JSS has different entry points to the upper and lower I’m sure we could justify it.
I went to Hull earlier in the season in amongst the safe standing which was about £5 less than the more expensive seats, of which you could still access from safe standing and the same concourses if you wanted to. Yet we can’t charge away fans more for being in the JSS upper?0 -
We did use to charge away fans the dearer price and eventually the EFL picked up on it. I don’t think it would be worthwhile trying to differentiate the upper and lower tiers of the JS Stand tbh.
The answer is to have cheaper season tickets in the lower Covered End but not cheaper match prices. That would generate more revenue from away fans than gold games. Something we also used to do before Ben Kensell wrecked the structure.
The club may endeavour to do something around members’ prices, but personally I’ve always regarded membership schemes as a counterproductive tax on recruitment of new fans..4
