Beat me to it

I will be very suprised if bolton increase there prices. I think they will remain unchanged.

i would'nt suprise me if they did, a bit of greed.

personally think they would be stupid to decreasing gates last season should tell them all thewy need to know.

Very interesting that Wigan and Blackburn have increased, considering noises from both clubs in recent times about struggling for crowds.

 

I guess we'll be inbetween the low risers of up to 4% and the high risers of 10%+, otherwise we'd have been highlighted in the article. Unless of course they haven't released the info to the press yet.

I decided before the end of the season to, for the first time in 10 years, pay per view.

I'll be going to every game, I'm sure and most away ones too BUT they're not getting my hard earned cash up front anymore, so there!

It says at the bottom of the report that Bolton, Newcastle and Liverpool still haven't released their prices yet.

 

I would guess that the club can now pitch their price levels at a low percentage rise, and point out that there will not be a large hike like at other clubs. I would also expect the wording "in real terms" to be used, to make you think that the price going up, is actually a reduction

 

I think we can expect the likes of Blackburn, Wigan and Bolton to be playing in front of half full stadiums again next season unfortunately

Bye bye ST then

I know for a fact that people from the club read this site.

 

I just hope that the club shows some common sense here.

 

We can not afford to increase ticket prices or we will play in front of half empty grounds.

 

The club has stated how much differnce the support made at end of the season.

 

Show you meant this by cutting prices. I aint asking for a massive reduction but if we cut by say 5-10% it would show the club understand and appreciate the fans.

If I remember right, and if not let's for arguments sake say, they made certain season tickets last year at Rovers ?250, which is very good

 

attendances did get better, but still not that many gates got over 21k

 

10% rise is inevitable given the reduction and the uptake

 

?275 is still good going though

 

you can bet though some fans would not renew on a "10% rise" basis as opposed to "?25"

I agree completely, as the TV money has gone up by a large percentage, then a reduction of say 5% shouldn't really worry them too much - if only it was as simple as that though............

If the club reduce the prices they would get a big thumbs up in the media too imo because no other club will reduce their prices. Cant see it though

They'd lose more than just the reduction if they went down by 5% because of inflation so, technically, less than 3% is a"decrease" on last year. And it's Gartside we're talking about, so expect rises.

Seasont ticket prices were reduced by 10% last year. They were frozen the year before.

 

Sales fell by 6,500 over that period.

Fućk 'em. What with petrol costs rising as well for me 220 mile round trip, I'm off down the road watching Shepshed Dynamo or maybe go to Nuneaton again, see what their new ground is like.

I think you have to show 3 or even 5 year trends rather than one season in isolation.

Aye, alreet! See you next season then Satan!

So no chance of filling the ground then

 

Still makes you wonder why the club haven't announced the prices yet,a good 2 weeks after the season has ended

probably waiting to see if we sign someone good first

If they get an extra ?20 off 13,000 its only worth ?260,000

 

Each place in the Premier is worth ?500,000 and we saw what effect a good backing can have on a poor team such as Sunderland

 

Wouldn't expect any increase whatsoever. Very suprised at Blackburn & Wigan if reports of increases is true

Well Blackburn are saying the BBC report is a load of bollards as far as they are concerned - this is their response as per their official website -

 

http://www.rovers.premiumtv.co.uk/page/New...1319883,00.html

Blackburn have issued a press release today saying the BBC is not comparing like with like (most purchased on an early scheme). They also say reduced prices contributed to a rise in 12% in attendances at Ewood

Wigans also look very reasonable

United look steep but you wouldn't like to be drawn at home in the Coca/FA cup early round and have to fork out these prices

wigan ?250 its takeing the piss if they get more ST,s than US

Fcuk the price,cut us in half and we will have BWFC running all the way through us.

 

What happens,happens.

Would be suicide to put them up. Far to many empty seats at the moment and the priorty should be to get them folk back not to loose even more. Over the past 2 seasons I've knocked 90% of my away games on the head and that pissed me off at the time, but I am now use to not going. How long before I join the ranks of the ones already use to not going down to the Reebok? My priorities lie at Undies Towers not at Bolton Wanderers.
