Season tickets

I am a white middle aged bloke, however I am considering getting rogered senseless by a Thai ladyboy. I have also fantasised about Brian, Long Mary from the dairy and hairy Kate. Will my level of wokeness and willingness to sexually experiment move me further up the season ticket chain? If Jim Frevola's reading, I have also found you quite attractive in a very geeky way.

Some people will do anything for a season ticket
 
Recent article in the news suggesting that there will be a demonstration at Liverpool over a 2% ticket price increase for next season. 2% ! Following our average 20% increase last summer God only knows what Uncle Bill has in store for us this summer. I'm guessing it will be more than 2% !! I'm pretty sure that for individual match tickets our category A games will break the £40 a match figure.

20% average increase last year? Completely made up.

I may be naive in this, but the club made a big thing last summer about the fact that there had been no price increases for 8 years and yet it was a still a big decision to increase prices.

They also highlighted the disparities in concession tickets and that those had to be addressed and altered.

The language suggests to me that they’ve made those changes and alterations now. It wasn’t a staggered approach, it was done and sorted then.

So I don’t expect to see any change to the concession offerings like at Spurs for older age group supporters, or the ambient disabled, wheelchair users, Under 8’s or family tickets.

That just leaves a catch all price increase across the ground. Last season again, first in 8 years regularly mentioned along with the fact that it wasn’t about funding a new stadium or redevelopment of the current one. It was just the right time to do it.

So I do envisage an increase, but not as big as the last one.

As you say, Liverpool is 2%, other clubs seem to be about 4-5%. There are other outliers, but that was us last season.

The majority of the premier league clubs offer cheaper season tickets than us, we rank poorly on that and it’s a walking on egg shells for the club to avoid some serious bad PR on that.

This, to me at least, looking at the comparison charts is more likely. The club had much more wiggle room to increase match day ticket prices in comparison to what other clubs already charge without grabbing many headlines.
 
JF discussed concession prices with the FAB, he mentioned that currently we have 6 different price zones. Concession ticket holders in four of the six receive a 20% discount and the other two currently receive a larger discount. Conversation moved on to discuss the challenge in narrowing the gap for those two zones that do not match the 20%, to keep pricing consistent.

PC noted that his season ticket rate is very cheap especially compared to ambulant disabled supporters. HP discussed differences between the ambulant rate and W/C concession as they stand and the challenges that this presents. JF spoke about the possibility of season tickets on the platform and potential changes to this pricing structure.

CA commented that fans would like consistency and transparency when making decisions and suggested the fairest approach should be considered.

Looking back at this this morning, it does read like I was naive and wrong with more changes to concession pricing to be expected.

Looks likely, and to be honest it wouldn’t be unfair. The club should surely give disabled fans a level playing field in terms of access to all areas, including reserved parking etc (priority queuing lines with dropped counters at catering points etc would be good too), and there should be discounts if you’re forced into the front row (rather than choosing to be), but if you’re up on the platform the view’s as good as anywhere you’d get in the stadium so no reason not to charge more for it. And I’m saying this as someone who pays for someone who sits on the platform. A season ticket on the platform would be very welcome
