S-T's frozen for ten years and also free away travel to PL matches. Absolutely fantastic, well done Stoke City.

Great credit to the club and it's owners
I'm the first one to criticize where I feel that criticism is due but will with equal celerity heap praise where praise is Richly deserved as in this case

It's brilliant but I don't believe the club do enough via the national media to publicise it.

Was expecting a reduction.
It wouldn't affect the club in real terms but would be a massive help to the fans.
Ahh well.

Well done Stoke. In my case (over 65) my season ticket is cheap as chips - it is the cost of the 270 mile return journey to home games which hits the pocket. I wish fuel prices had been frozen for 10 years!

I wish fuel prices had been frozen for 10 years! Can't you offset it against your winter fuel allowance, or is that 70. Either way monumental commitment to watch Stoke. |

Assuming inflation and the fact that your wages have likely increased over the past 10 years this is basically a reduction. Great news. On top of that reducing ticket prices is risky should we get relegated and lose out on the Prem money. Not sure why you expected it considering we haven't reduced prices since being in the Prem. |

I thought they should do (others are and it sort of makes ours more expensive in a daft way) but I never expected they would as they're already pretty cheap. I don't think they should reduce the ST's but the tickets for individual games are too expensive if £30 is enough for away fans its enough for home fans too. If 20 is plenty was adopted which would be great across the board then the ST's would need to come down to keep a worthwhile differential in price. |

I hate the 20 is plenty campaign tbh. It's just done because it rhymes. And for that reason I just can't take it seriously. |

On top of that reducing ticket prices is risky should we get relegated and lose out on the Prem money. Not sure why you expected it considering we haven't reduced prices since being in the Prem. I accept it isn't a popular opinion mate. And I accept we probably do more than most. It's a working class area though and the club could do more. We shouldn't lose sight of that. Yes, 350 quid is a very good price for a season ticket, but it's still a lot of money for your average Joe Bloggs with a mortgage to pay and a family to support. The club could half the price of season tickets and it wouldn't have any real affect on them, but it would make a massive difference to the fans. The money the club makes from TV deals dwarfs anything they will ever take in gate receipts. It'd be a different case if we ever dropped out of the prem. But for now that's not the case. We've enjoyed the riches of being in the top flight for the best part of a decade. The club has never had so much money. Holding prices is decent but I'm not going to fall over myself in praise of the club for doing that. I understand supply and demand too. But that doesn't really apply to the early bird deal that this announcement is in relation to. This applies to fans that are renewing their season tickets. Many fans which will be renewing for the umpteenth year in a row. I believe the club do well, but could do more to reward that loyalty. |

As others have stated, I too will criticise when need, but this is a very big well done to Stoke City. The cynic in me may think that this is a ploy to ensure sales of the new corner, however I apologise for that and will give a very big thumbs up to Scholes and the team for this.
We need to push this out to show what we have done for the fans over the last 10 years compared to other clubs over the same period. Well Done Stoke!

If it was West Ham it would be all over the national media It probably would but are we even trying to get any PR out of it? Who knows but it kind of sits in with the general half arsedness off the pitch that club does. Like could it have been better to save it for a week when we have a game so questions can be asked in the press conference? Even little stuff like that could go a long way. |
