No real issue with the price increase but if I have understood correctly, we are being forced to pay for tickets to the women’s matches which the vast majority of ST holders won’t go to.
Would have preferred it if they had just consolidated that amount into the price increase and said it includes free tickets to the women’s games if you wish to attend.
Offer it for free and no value will be attached to it. Basic marketing to try and build up the userbase for the future.
Force people to pay and turn people against it. Describe it as free and people who otherwise wouldn’t have may give it a go.

Which is effectively what has been done? They've added it to the ST price whether we want it or not and we are therefore free to attend.Would have preferred it if they had just consolidated that amount into the price increase and said it includes free tickets to the women’s games if you wish to attend.
The wording is unclear.
It is clear that the prices are just for PL games.
But.... Are the 2 women's games added and money taken or is it that ST holders get reduced rates if they choose to buy tickets?
I can't see how they can take money without permission. For cup games a ticket is available for a period of time and ST holder can buy or not. (Confusion last season, nothing in the information that clarifies for this one).
If there is a way that money is taken automatically then it is likely that there would be a lot of empty, paid for seats.
Bit of a PR own goal here. It’s not a 9.7% increase at all, it’s more than that because the vast majority of season ticket holders will be unlikely to attend the women’s games. I struggle to make the time for the men’s games, let alone the women’s games too.
Wouldn’t have minded as much if they had simply said it’s a 10-11% increase and women’s games are free. But the way it has been worded is strange.
Wtf is going on here? All this time to get it sorted and they've come up with this shitshow. It's like AFCB have asked Ryanair to come up with a pricing model.
Need to change the tread title because it isn't 9.7% at all is it. I absolutely hate companies that try and treat their customers like morons.
