Absolutely nonsensical!

The matchday experience since 2017-18 has been awful. Only the cheap tickets kept us coming back. I can't see us re-newing. If it's still 25 quid to pay on the day, will pick and choose games. If they shove that up as well, you can shove it up your arse Nagle!

Can easily see that being £30 Adults, £25 old farts and some other concessions, young kids and teens prices made up on the hoof. Town already make it hard/impossible to just 'turn up and pay' on the day most of the time. 50%+ price increases are not going to put a lot of bums on seats next season.

15,000 x £250 = £3.75m
10,000 x £370 = £3.70m
12,500 x £370 = £4.625m
15,000 x £370 = £5.55m

Wonder which figure they are hoping for and how dumb they'll look if they get the lowest one? Won't be surprised if they get bitten on the arse with this one and finish up with the same season ticket revenue if we don't get promoted. Alternatively I could just come up and watch 10 games, pay as you go. £250, or there abouts and sit where I can.

I normally renew in a heartbeat, but Town (and Worthy) have 5 weeks to convince me it's worth paying for this time. If I do, it won't go out of the bank account this season, it will go on the credit card, which means they get paid in installments as each game is played rather than all at once. (The joys of administration still linger). I've already fired off a "pissed off of Wolvo" email to the ticket office. Hell, that's £4 more than my bro pays for his full price Halifax Town Season ticket - whatever next?

I also don't get the different price in a different stand thing, other than sitting in the rain in the crap stand. You aren't paying to watch a better product/team or get a better experience in general in the Riverside Upper unless it's "corporate" or you pay for a box and involves exhorbitant pre-match meals (and drinks that still have to be paid for). I've complained about the different match day pricing for some games a few years back, likely I wasn't the only one and they soon dropped that. I also complained that season ticket prices shouldn't increase after a certain date as folk have to budget for holidays and other things around Town selling season tickets (sometimes as early as February). Increasing the prices based on a date just drives would be/could be fans away. They changed that idea too. Those that don't learn from history ........

Ours is £419 x 2 = £838
+ parking £180.
Over £1000.
I think Snoots and I are decided no matter what miracles they conjure.
I also think the wtf from my nephew says the same.
Never say never but we're not all on Mark Cartwright and Jake Edwards' salaries.

I could argue that the person sitting in Row Y of the Kilner Bank actually has a better seat than me in the Riverside lower. For a kick off they have more leg room than we do in Row Y of the Riverside lower plus extra concessions to grab a pie and a pint from at half time whereas we have just the 2

You nearly got me - I'm in Row Z, and yes, in the past for FA Cup games me and me mates sat in the "posh seats" on the lower Riverside (close enough to listen to Oggy and Keiran, at the time, without turning my radio on) and noticed it was a bit more cramped. Why that would be when you're building from scratch is beyond me? Friends with friends in the right places found us seats in the Upper Tier (with all that posh expensive food and beers) a couple of times when we were in the Prem and it seemed similar to the Kilner Bank. Then again, it's still more legroom than Blackburn, wherever you are.

It is more comfortable in the Riverside Upper. They've announced that the plebs can no longer get a lift pass for the upper tier next season.

What was that thing with Yanks and great customer service that I used to hear about?

I used to hear about it, I experienced some that was anything but, for the most part in restaurants it was no different from here apart from being asked if everything was OK just after you shovelled the first fork-full into your gob. You'd wait half-an-hour after you finished to pay though.

During the Season Card renewals process you can however select to receive a physical card at a cost of £10.

What's wrong/confusing with this message?

I did some mathematics, for me to sit where I sit and get good value for money I essentially would have to go to all games that I don't have cricket, so somewhere around 19. I currently go to about 15. That would make it roughly 30 quid a game for me, so the only benefit I'm getting there is guaranteed entry and little else. Now my circumstances are changing I might only make 10 games anyway, that take it's to 44 quid a game basically. So that makes my mind up with regards to riverside upper.

It also makes the decision for the other stands, with the open lower north stand being cheaper overall for my ten games as compared to pay on the day. The upper tier would probably come out evens.

Now I'm basing this on pay on the day being about 30 quid a time. I might also get free ticket in those ten which would change my number per game obviously. But me not renewing and doing this arguably gives me over 100 in savings, which can be used elsewhere or to buy a new season ticket in 3/4 years or so. I will be back I don't doubt that. But not next season. Town have just made my mind up for me.

Apart from two seasons in the mid 80s, I've had a season ticket since I started work in 1978. Chaffers has had one for the last 15 years. It'll be a big loss to our lifestyles, but shite to 'em. Not forking out over a thousand quid to watch that rubbish!

[theo_luddite]

Why? Just why is there a need for this? The only stand I can see that justifies a reduction from the prices in "The Cowshed" is the Terriers Together lower - aka - the shit stand - especially when it's pissing it down and blowing a gale into your face. The Upper Stand probably isn't much fun in those conditions either.
