We're £1 cheaper and a much better team to watch 😁 Coventry kids prices are cheaper and all their season tickets are that price anywhere in the ground. |

Have preston finished building that stand yet or are they in competition with the vile to see how long it takes to build one. ?
The lorne street stand has been half built since as the brit has been fully operational.

When you factor in how bad the matchday experience is at Stoke these days, the early bird prices aren't that great value for money.
Yes it's great that they've been frozen for 15 years and with inflation we're getting a very good deal. However the experience down the brit is fucking dog shit, carling poured from cans in to glasses, the concourses have never been fit for purpose, the bogs are fucking tiny and you have to queue like sardines to get in and out.
I hope to god this money they're spending this summer sorts a lot of these issues out but I don't hold much hope.
Why have bottle bars not been set up outside? the minute they started allowing us out at half time to smoke, they should've introduced bottle bars outside to alleviate the horrendous queueing inside. The fact they've now resorted to pouring cans in to glasses and don't have draught on is a fucking disgrace too, especially with fast pour pumps now readily available and used up and down the country.

No one and I mean no one can complain about season ticket prices at Stoke City🙄 True but it is a bit of a red herring when we continually hear prices have stayed the same so you can't expect a fan zone or match day experiences or good food. Yes our prices haven't increased but the same is true of other teams, some I think in that period have even reduced prices and we are not markedly cheaper than some and are certainly more expensive than others. Coventry by the way have a fan zone. |

Coventry by the way have a fan zone. It actually isn't true at our club either. The club introduced the premium seat policy a couple of years into our PL adventure, for seats in and around the halfway line. My ST seat went up by 50 quid so I'm paying more than I was back in 2008. |

In the end most fans choose which club to go to because they support them not because of the quality of football, the price of tickets or matchday experiences. (I get that your post is a bit tongue in cheek!) |

Throw in free coach travel to every away game as well(for those that want it) and I believe our club would be up there in monitory value for supporters.Yes we need more happening around the ground I get that but how anyone can moan about season ticket value is beyond me. |

The trend does seem to be reasonable prices now. www.cardiffcityfc.co.uk/tickets/seasonticketsCardiff's cheapest is £279. Huddersfield is £299 (249 if you renewed last year where it was fixed at that price for 3 yrs) Swansea £322 maximum adult price across the whole stadium And even West Brom have had their lowest prices pegged at £329 for the past 2 yrs. |

They did lump on another £50 as you say - and called the two blocks in the middle of the Tile Mountain stand (or whatever) , "Premier Seats". Well they weren't "Premier" for the 10 years prior - when you could pick and choose where you wanted your ST seat - especially in League 1. |

I'm sure I am not the only ex Stokie who now lives away from Stoke now yet travel to all the home games. The point I am making is that season tickets are not that good a value compared to other Championship clubs and saying we give free away travel shouldn't come into it or be subsidised by season ticket prices. I do attend Mickleover matches because they are a very friendly club who value their fans enough to try to make match days enjoyable and welcoming. I could never however be a fan as I am a Stoke fan and they always come first. |

All good Sensible match day prices next And fuck off to booking fees I know some do , but in the case of domestic football I don’t overly mind booking fees ..( providing they’re kept reasonable ) as I believe there’s no VAT on booking fees , so unlikely match tickets and STs which does have VAT charged , the clubs keep all the money ..I presume this is why clubs charge this way , effectively recouping some of the money they effectively lose Campaign for supporters should be for the removal of VAT from tickets , allowing clubs to either keep more of their revenues or indeed reduce ticket prices without the clubs losing further money .. Footnote : not sure how the VAT element impacts the new proposed FFP of being allowed to spend 70% of your revenues is that including or excluding VAT |

I think that ours were excellent value in the Premier but very comparable to other Championship clubs. Certainly not criticising the fact that they've been frozen for so long but I get fed up of hearing it as an excuse for not upgrading the match day facilities. And I am not thinking of me as I wouldn't use a fan zone at Stoke. I do think by the way that in recent weeks there has been a bit of an effort to improve pitch side before the match and at half time. |

So you don’t think anyone sitting in the Boothen end paying less than £13 a game is not something to be happy with?Also the £38 and £75 season tickets for kids? I really do wonder what some folk want🙄 Picked up at door in a limo,meal before the game,blanket and flask,waiter service in the ground🤣 |

I'm not unhappy with the cost of season tickets but I don't think they are anything to shout about in the Championship, there are cheaper and more expensive. What I am saying though is that using frozen season ticket prices as a reason for not having a fan zone or for having toilets that don't lock properly, crowded concourses, unappetising food etc is not an excuse. I am convinced that a fan zone would pay for itself once set up and doesn't have to be an expensive construction. |
