Seagull travel . Huge price increases.

Rogero · Apr 26, 2017

This season my ticket was £135.00 for 23 home games. Next season it is now £146.00 for 19 games. This works out at 30% rise so how can this be justified?
I would imagine that if we go down the following season it would again be increased as we would have more matches. Views please.

Its obviously costing them more to remove the saliva off the windows than they originally thought.

Business isn't it? Higher demand = higher prices.

Get used to it, we're in the big league now.

Is it something to do with this?

That's not the point. It's a disgrace considering there's less games and more southern base games.

4 less matches but a price rise , hardly a way to encourage people to travel with them

Maybe the buses have had to be upgraded to meet PL or Sky requirements

Seriously though calling it a 'disgrace' is pushing it a bit. It's £11 more a season.......Yes you can equate that to "30%", but equally it's less than a quid a game.

Nearly £2 a match increase is a bit of a pee take

What has Southern based games got to do with the price of travel to home games

I've used the Express for the last 4 seasons and last year's was no increase from the previous year for me. I'd guess that the cost of drivers would have to go up at some point. Difficult to know without all the facts. All I can say is that I've been super impressed by their service over recent years and it takes the stress out of the journey for me and my 3 kids.

Surely the OP is within the subsidised travel zone?

Seagull Travel is meant to be subsidised but they have put their prices up for next season but despite 4 less matches, hardly a fair way to operate. Maybe this is the first of the Premier League rip offs we will get ?

is this some bizarre joke I'm just not getting. They're all southern based as theyre at the Amex

I think people are missing what is a valid point. Travel zone or not, if you choose to buy the Seagulls Travel at £135 for 23 games, you don't expect it to then cost you an extra £11 for 19 games the following season. It is a significant increase in the price for no change to the actual service. It's a fair complaint.

Less than half a pint.....

Lucky it's optional, so anyone thinking it's a pee take can take their custom elsewhere

What's the southern bit got to do with anything?

At last someone gets it, for some that is the only way to get to the AMEX so they are taking advantage of a monopoly they have with coach/bus services to the ground

I understand that, but why use Seagull's Travel from Shoreham when you can get to the Amex via your st? I know some people find it more convenient, but as you say, it does seem a rip off.
