ANOTHER ****in poll? :ffsparr:

EDIT: In all seriousness, I am neither happy or unhappy. Just a bit meh. Definitely renewing so have gone for the happy and renew option. The club can quite easily afford to freeze/reduce the prices so a bit miffed with that but at the end of the day it's only another 1/2 quid a month on the DD

I’ve put happy to renew. I did hope for a price freeze this time but I remind myself that my contribution of a season ticket and a few beers is nothing compared to what Mr Bloom has put in.

Up from £36.84 per match to £38.42 per match in East Upper. £1.58 increase.

It's a luxury for me, but if it got too expensive I'd move to the North* before not renewing.

*Stand, not Durham

If you asked for my preference for the price of anything I regularly pay for increasing I'd say no. I'd prefer not to pay more so not specifically angry with the club but would obviously prefer the increase to be with any increase of wages I get (fat chance of that happening!). So unhappy but will renew.

Given the minimal amount of our revenue that seems to come from ticket sales/season tickets - it just seems like an increase for the sake of it. Unhappy but will renew.

This would be a very valid point IF we were guaranteed to be playing in the Premier League next season.

Its dwarfed by broadcast income but matchday income, given the sell out crowds and increased matchday ticket prices, is still likely to be in the region of a hefty £15m quid this season.

I can take it. But appreciate the gradual creep upwards impacts some more than others.

It's a very small increase on a per month basis, so that's not hugely upsetting. I'm a little upset that it's another rise when we're again uncertain of our division next season, so have put "Unhappy, but will renew", but it's much closer to indifference than rage.

It isn't our main source of income so its just a move to squeeze out a bit more cash .

Not really how you should treat your fans but then we are only customers.

Not happy but will renew

It is a pity that the club like loads of other businesses just see racking up prices as the only option.
After all this time at the Amex it would have been nice for someone (Barber?) to have given some thought to the process.
Such as......
1. Only include travel concession in the price if you actually want it and use it. (I don't so why should I have to pay for it?)
2. Look at the tiers. Why one same price for an 8 yo and a 17yo? Reduce the kids prices to encourage parents to bring them.
3. Why not reduce the senior prices to 60+ like some other Clubs? (yes I am 63)

Perhaps the Club can also ask the Caterers to stay within a reasonable increase as well for next season?

A little bit unhappy about the rise as I thought that this coming season they may have frozen prices, but I love following The Albion home and away so will renew.

You think they just decided a random figure without any thought?

1. Only include travel concession in the price if you actually want it and use it. (I don't so why should I have to pay for it?)

Been discussed a thousand times, why it really does need to be this way. It just wouldn't work any other way.

Remember too, that the planning permission to build and operate the stadium, is based on the transport policy being in place.

2. Look at the tiers. Why one same price for an 8 yo and a 17yo? Reduce the kids prices to encourage parents to bring them.
It isn't. There are U10, U18 and U21 prices in different parts of the ground.

Seems like your issues are based on you individually rather than the 20 odd thousand others...
