Next seasons prices will remain the same.

A little disappointing, but no real surprise.

No i think they have made the right decision in freezing them

Well, IF we don't go up, then the take up will be lower again which obviously is not good news.

IF we go up, then yes that will be a decent deal.

It wont please everyone and to be honest they cant win. But, I was hoping for something a little more "out of the box" this time around.

We need more money not less, they cant reduce them.

As is always discussed, our tickets are competitive when compared to the rest of the league, and reducing ticket prices wont result in that many more turning up in this league. The only way to really increase the gate is to get promoted.

But our prices are I think 2nd only to Gills in this division?

But yes I agree. We need to go up this season or the finances will be in an even worse state.

I thought you could buy North Bank season tickets as well? Can't see them on the list

 

[Davros]

On the plus side, the club really listened this season, and Cup ticket prices have been much better, especially (as should be) for STH's.

As a perk, or perhaps incentive (as prize money should cover it), if we do make the JPT final, those who early purchase ST before the final should get home JPT matches included for free next season. Wouldn't even cost the club anything if we got knocked out away in the first round, but would be a small incentive and good gesture nonetheless!

No there are plenty more than that, I went through all of them last time the prices were discussed.

There are cheaper out there, but pricier too. The one thing that does let us down is lack of flexibility. You may get a cheaper ticket at one ground, but it may not be like for like, ie comparing a terraced ticket for a seat in the east stand.

What would be nice is if we started offering cheaper tickets for the seats in the South Lower/ Corners etc.

Uninspiring from the club they will shoot themselves in the foot massively if we don't g up

 

[Steve lansley]

After seven years a season ticket holder i think this will be my last ,made redundant wil be gutted but cant justify £350 :'(

Again, why ?

When was the last time our ticket prices actually increased ? I know they went up recently, but that was only because they dropped the price to unsustainable level previously.

Sorry to hear that Steve, fingers crossed you can get something else and still be able to go.

 

[Depor_Shrimper]

I really don't think that the club had much of a choice in terms of reducing ticket prices, we are already running at a significant loss each year. Hopefully there will be some more affordable seating options at the new stadium.

Price freeze is what i expected really.Couldnt really justify putting them up if we stay in league 2 next year.If we get promotion its not a bad deal in my opinion.

 

[southend4ever]

the club have got it spot on

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

At least we haven't tried to sell it as 'League 1 football at League 2 prices' again. I hope someone was sacked for that.

Many were!....

 

[Earls Hall Blue]

Im happy with this, me & my daughter to renew - £425, less than £19 a game..:smile:

And who knows could even be L1 footy nest season..:smile:

I feel for you, mate. It happened to me last year as well (after six seasons as a STH) and I didn't have the funds to renew. It still feels weird collecting matchday tickets from the north-east corner rather than heading straight to the turnstiles. Hope you get back on your feet again financially soon.

The scary thing here is what it says about cash flow. It's the first week of Feb, and already the club is borrowing from next season.
