That’s the thanks you get

After supporting the club for many years and through the pandemic, we have been told our box next season will be going up from£3000 to £7000+vat,I don’t mind paying a cost of living rise or abut more to support my club but think this price rise is a little excessive,anyone else had notice of price rises, season ticket holders etc???

[sufc_not_on_tour]

Season ticket prices have risen.
I suppose there’ll be a space in there next season then mate, I’ll speak to you on the subject.

How many does a box seat?

[Brassy sharman]

At least 10.

£31 a game in a box with free tea and coffee? You were paying less than me a terrace ticket last season

[Apollo11]

10 (seats) x 23 (games) x 18 (terrace price) = £4,140

I’d say 3k is a massive undersell.

It is. But £7,000 is too high. Unless there are other benefits Brassy hasn’t mentioned.

[Awaywego]

Season ticket prices all over the place from 6% up to 50% seem to be targeting the under 18s 50% and over 65s standing 14.4%, do you imagine they talk it through and then justify why the disparity is so big.
Would seem like they want you out Brassy, just because they think they can get more money from businesses having boxes doesn’t mean they should, should never forget their roots.

£7k seems a lot but the Club has to maximise profits, and if they can sell them for £7k it makes sense to. Can see how it would irk existing box holders though.

Fair play to them if they can shift it for 7k. There’s enough local businesses bring to become involved so if they can improve the experience then charge as much as you can.

We did hospitality around Xmas and it was an embarrassment. Wasn’t too long after Hilton left and Glyn hasn’t turned so I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt.

Could be a real earner for the club if they get it right

Is your ‘box’ only available to use on game days/nights (12:00 to 18:00 ish?)
Or, can you use it during the week too?

[Awaywego]

No need to shit on the fans that have been there forever though, let’s not adopt the greedy premiership way.

[Deereyme66]

Or it’s simply a case of revising prices sensibly after Mr Incompetent and Mr Fraud?

[64]

I agree with you awaywego,Hilton your conman mate charging fans on the terraces more than those in boxes was disgusting ,I just can’t figure out why you like all these wronguns

[Brassy sharman]

No tea or coffee included in price rise, also paid for a box during pandemic, obviously couldn’t use it, still took the money and all we got was that poxy live stream for nothing, no reimbursement the following season, ok I know it was different owners

[64]

you had football cheaper than standing on a terrace last year and you’re moaning?
it’s still only £31 a game , I paid £20 to stand outside yesterday,it looks cheap to me
As for the rest, I’ll email the club and get them to commission a statue
