Well done Stoke City. How many years have they been froze now? We paid the same in our Championship promotion season (the exception being a slight increase in "Premium" seats in the East/West Stands since) Fair play to the club......

This is going to have a long thread of it's own...………...
"From next season onwards free coach travel to all away league games exclusive to Season Card holders only".

Whilst I applaud the club for the season ticket freezes and free away travel I would urge them to look at the matchday prices. £25-£35 is too expensive.........

Brilliant again by the club
My only gripe is the £70 hike from U11 to U18

To put it into a little bit of perspective Burton Albion's adult season ticket prices for this season are £420 to sit and £357 TO STAND. To watch Div 1 football. Just saying like.

Love the kit discount. With my kids, that will save me circa £50.
Season tickets are superbly priced. Matchday pricing is extortionate and needs to be addressed if we are going to maximise our crowd potential.

Matchday pricing is extortionate and needs to be addressed if we are going to maximise our crowd potential. They are over priced Dave and there is a need to address this to bring in the lost/new/floating punter but I'll compare us again to Burton Albion's match day ticket prices £24 to sit (compared to £27 in the Tile Mountain stand) and £20 TO STAND. Over priced yes but by comparison not extortionate. I live near Burton's ground that's why I've used them to compare.

Doubt are many clubs treated as well as us price wise. They could have taken advantage of our Prem status before but didn't. Well done again

The cup ticket offer is good. It feels like we haven't had a home cup game for yonks though, hopefully we get a load now

And yeah Shrewsbury is the last one I can remember too. I like a home cup game, so this initiative is lovely.

Even compared to the Fail our prices are great, but for me, it doesn't matter what the others are doing. We should simply do what's best for us and clearly there is a lot of latent/floating support out there that would be put off by matchday prices. I was surprised by how much they were when I was asked to get some for exiled pals.

Last cup match I went was the Wolves match who were under one Paul Lambert.
I've been scared off from them ever since. 20% off cup matches at home is a nice idea and, with plans of finally grabbing a season card next season regardless of the league we're in, be nice to finally go some more matches. Been dying to get a season ticket for a while but can finally do it.

You obviously can't undercut ST prices otherwise it renders them pointless but a few more 'Cardiff style' £10 offers on selected games and the old 'kids for a fiver' would at least fill the ground especially when we need a big and vocal support in the last few games. I certainly wouldn't complain if a few discounted pay on the day offers meant we filled the ground for the last few home games.

I certainly wouldn't complain if a few discounted pay on the day offers meant we filled the ground for the last few home games. Likewise. We should sell tickets in blocks of games. 5 games for £x, 10 games for £y. The games not being fixed with the purchaser being able to redeem their match voucher for whatever game they like during the course of the season. Anything that is more creative than brilliant season ticket prices with extortionate matchday prices has to be a step in the right direction. Overall, in the grand scheme of things, if you are committed to supporting the club on a matchday more often than not, we can have few gripes about pricing. In a commercial world, it is simply about removing the obstacles as much as is feasibly possible. EDIT - One thing I have never really understood is why do the Cardiff offer for a game in February. Surely running such offers whilst season tickets are on sale for the following season may actually help to capture the imagination of the floater and put in their mind the benefits of a season ticket. Creativity as you say. Something we are sadly lacking in at times. Complacency on and off the field of play has blighted us for years.

Overall, in the grand scheme of things, if you are committed to supporting the club on a matchday more often than not, we can have few gripes about pricing. In a commercial world, it is simply about removing the obstacles as much as is feasibly possible. This. Said it so many times. If you sold in blocks of 6 and 12 you could just split the games into Cat A and Cat B and say no more than 2 Cat A games if you buy 6 in advance, and no more than 4 Cat A games if you buy 12 in advance: Cat AWest Brom Leeds Nottm Forest Birmingham Derby County Sheff Wed Cat BFulham Brentford Preston Bristol City Blackburn Swansea Millwall Reading Hull City Charlton Huddersfield QPR Cardiff Middlesbrough Wigan Barnsley Luton A season ticket where we sit is £399 (£17 a game), a match day ticket is £30 a game. So you could sell 6 game tickets at £132 (£22 a game) and 12 game tickets at £240 (£20 a game) For me it's an absolute no brainer there's no downsides other than a slight bit of admin or a tweak to the system when people purchase their tickets for the individual matches. This would be absolutely perfect for shift workers, those who are self employed, students etc who would like to go to every game but it's not logistically possible.......

Creativity as you say. Something we are sadly lacking in at times. Complacency on and off the field of play has blighted us for years. Completely agree mate. I tempted an old friend and lapsed Stokie to the Charlton game with a spare ST and then he bought a £10 ticket for the Cardiff game. He's obviously got the bug and is a lucky mascot to boot but £30 a pop is a bit steep when he's travelling from Bury. He said if he'd come before Christmas he might have been tempted with a half season ticket but that's no longer available. However, a discounted block of 5 or 6 to the end of season would have seriously tempted him. As it is he might come again if one of our ST's is available or another £10 offer. If they did a 'Final 6' block and then give them the option of buying those at early bird prices for next year it might capture a few, especially if we have a positive end to the season. PS I like Prestwich's 'block' ticket idea as well.
