Season ticket prices

BensGrandad · Mar 11, 2013

I always thought that we had an intermediate price ticket betwen u16 and full adult ie a student ticket U 21 ticket but it appears not.

We did at Withdean which was very handy for my university attending son who paid next to nothing for his season ticket. But that was back in the day.

No u16 or u21, only u10 and u18 now

Depends where you are, my 16 yr old pays the U18 rate in WSU.

There is an under 18 price bracket. That seems about the right cut off point.

BensGrandad · Mar 11, 2013

I think that going from an U18 to a full adult seems a bit hard on people at uni or further education or even working as an apprentice.

CheeseRolls · Mar 11, 2013

That has confused me. Son number one is 16 and having got the renewal Email today, I was expecting we would have to move elsewhere to get the U18 rate. I have Emailed the club to query this, but will be happy if we are able to stay put for now, without a major price hike.

Interesting that the club haven't reserved the right to push the prices up if we get into the Premiership

Isn't there going to be some student seating next season?

It's all in the small print.

I hope they don't increase too much if we go up, especially considering the per game price will increase irrespective (taking into account there will be 4 less games).

I have been saying this since we moved to The Amex.........

As one off games I believe.

IMO there should be an U21 price to cover everyone under 21, including students.

My son will be 10 in September and his season ticket in the East Upper for next season (including general price hike) is going up 0ver 100% compared to this season .
Instead of paying the "new" price for an under 10 of £165.00 , the club are asking for £315.00 .
Now here's the thing , he will not be 10 until 23rd September , after the season starts , so in my eyes (as i am paying for it) either he remains as an under 10 for the whole season on his season ticket , or at least until he is actually 10 or over ? (could be 4 or 5 home games at half the price they are demanding)
I actually think another price bracket is required , say an under 14 / 16 to slot in between the under 10 and under 18 ?
Its the youngsters that are the future of the club , they could be priced out if some parents deem the price hike too much for their budgets ?

This was my concern with my daughter's ST this year, but she still got it at the U10 price (birthday 18 September). You should query it unless policy has changed. I know for Cup games this season, though, it was her age at date of game.

On age price bracket, what difference is 8, 10 or 14? They are still going to be fully dependant. Should be one price for all Under 16s to my mind.

You are correct , they are still fully dependant and the price should be set alongside this .
Thanks for the info , will contact the club tomorrow and see if a mistake has occurred :thumbsup:

Prices are based upon the date of child as at first game of season, so they should be charging you under 10 price next year.
