I was thinking of worst case scenario for those that only go to cat C matches.

On the other hand we have January:- Bournemouth - A poss B FA Cup - Poss A+ Birmingham - A Leeds - A Possible FA Cup 4 - Poss A+ Clearly I'm making A+ up, but for say Utd at home the club will want to find a way to make extra money.

It seems like the more actual facts that emerge about ticket prices, the harder it is to moan about them.

I'm surprised by all 3 of Bolton, B/Burn and mid week Wednesday, not being C's. I'd have thought 1 or maybe 2 would squeeze in. H/Field close to Christmas certainly won't be an A.

I'm looking at the fixtures, my opinion of a Cat A's seem like they are few and far between. Millwall - 'local' team and police issues. Bolton - :shrug: Wed - Tuesday night C Forest - A, esp if they keep going. Watford - Friday night ? B/Burn - C Barnsley- C Leics - :shrug: H/Field - C.

Come promotion I wouldn't be surprised if I was priced out of my S/T, so no I'm not missing the point. There's a difference between cannot and will not pay the increased prices. If you cannot then so be it. If I were to hand back our S/T's irrespective as to how much the prices go up by, I can...

The moan is correct, football is expensive, but the debate has be to had about the cheapest tickets available not the most expensive. At which point I find it hard to see what there is to moan about a £26 seat for Championship football inc travel. As for your mates who haven't been since the...

Piffling details, you have to ignore those facts for any of this thread to work.

That just doesn't make sense. If you really wanted to go to the game this week, you knew you could go on a £26 ticket. In time, up a division, against a top 6 side, all seats will be £50 at which point fill your boots with complaints. But Burnley at home in August, is a long way away from that...

But if this ALWAYS happens, which there seems to be some disagreement about, you just wait to buy your ticket. You know it isn't going to sell out. You know the £26 tickets won't mysteriously become £43. The Wednesday before a home match is the day you buy your ticket. I fail to see the...

I genuinely don't understand why people get their knickers in a twist over this. Assuming £26 seats don't become £43 seats, if the most expensive ones ever sell out. Assuming the £26 do always become available. Why does it matter when?

I don't understand the hang up of 'must sell out'. As said early if the club were to sell 3,501 of the remaining seats @ £40, they make more money than selling all 7,000 @ £20. They already have the monthly money coming in from 23,000 seats, pretty much guaranteed. Sure a full house would be...

All the time they are selling and there are cheaper seats available.

Although obviously not directly responsible, this doesn't help:-

Yep, fair enough I profusely apologise, you had mentioned your price ceiling. I guess I missed that when questioning you on your football budget. Once again I apologise.

Don't make me go back and find all the posts you made stating how you were never going to the Amex again, because you were priced out of the game. The pricing structure was in place then, and at no point did you say:- 'I can only afford to go to the cheap seats of cat C games'. You're £25 is...

I thought you were completely priced out of the Albion and were never going to the AMEX again, saving your money for away games, where you get better value. By my reckoning that principled stand lasted all of 95 minutes.

You are right. We the people who have been and will be priced out, are the first people who'll the club will come to after if it hits the rocks. I'd image the club would be falling over itself to incentivise previous S/T holders, should a relegation happen.

Assuming all 23,000 season ticketers go, that leaves 7,000 'empty' seats. The club only has to sell 3,501 @ £40 to make more money than 7,000 @ £20. Sure that doesn't include sundries and shop purchases. But nevertheless I doubt Barber-out 'needs' to sell out the ground, he has a percentage...
