As does the standing season ticket price.............so in real terms a 9.5% increase because there are two fewer games than last season to watch
-
Fellow relegated club Kidderminster Harriers have opted to reduce their admission and season ticket prices for next season:

£250?????? Flabbergasted
-
Why has the age for women concessions not been brought in line with men?
We are supposed to be in the age of equality.
-
If it funds a decent budget so be it. Average away journey is 65 miles, so it's swings and roundabouts

No mention of the £10 discount for early payment which has applied for the last few years, so the real increase could be even greater.

Of the other 21 likely members of Conf North, seven have a concessionary qualifying age of 60 according to their websites, eight start at 65 and six don't say, so might be presumed also to be 65+. None of them mention any differential as between male & female. I assume there will be a legal loophole allowing such differentiation but on the face of it this would look to someone minded to make an issue of it like discrimination.

We are up against some very big and proactive sides next year Alty should do a little positive PR for once do a deal with the 3 main local papers for a major back page advert raving about the push for promotion, great atmosphere they want to create, excellent facilities etc... a real positive spin on a promotion push season, aim to get 1000 season tickets before the season begins at reduced rates! I havent done the sums but 200 adults and 100 kids seems a good deal with maybe a deposit scheme to make it seem even more affordable.
Huge social media push and school initiative along side this will make it happen. Get some early cash in get a good squad together and start winning bringing in even more fans and money! Its a little risky but its about time we took some!

STANDING season ticket= £250
SEATING season ticket=£290
Difference = £40
However, if you wish to sit, buy a STANDING season ticket at £250 and pay 21 x £1 transfer charge to the stands. Total cost = £271, thereby a saving of £19 if you can be bothered with the hassle each time. ;)
-
Where did you get the idea you can pay £1 to transfer to the seats? There has never been such a policy at Alty.

Yes there has

There most definitely has. I don't know if you have ever noticed a steward handing out passes when people exit the main stand to the terrace, especially at half-time. If you try to enter the stand from the terrace without such pass, then you are supposed to be charged £1 by said steward. OKAY.
-
Doesn't guarantee your own seat though. You may end up sitting with that restricted view bloke.

Fair point, but I think there will be a lot more seats to choose from next season.

Why is there no discount for 16 to 18 year olds?
At this age they are still at school/college and cant afford to go to games.
-
There is, although I think you have to ask for it. My lad, who is in the 6th Form, got his season ticket last year at the Concession Price (or was it the 12-16 year old price?). Think it was the former but can't quite remember now.

Totally agree. It should be the same age as it's not fair otherwise. We're all supposed to be equal, regardless of sex, race, religion, sexual orientation etc etc.

Students above 16 are concessions with a valid student card or NUS.

Maybe they just haven't yet announced the early payment discounts for old fogeys such as myself. I certainly won't be happy if there isn't one, especially with two less home games.
And unless Nuneaton have revoked their short sighted "no concessions" policy this season, they won't be seeing me down there.
-
Just spoken to Karen Rowley. Discounts WILL apply, and the tickets have actually arrived this morning ! Club site to be updated this evening.
-

Yes but from season 13/14 to 14/15, the increase in 2 games only cost you 1.9% increase, for 2 more games and a move to conference premier and there have been no increases since !

Good point - their website certainly doesn't mention any concessions other than children for 2015-16.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't here to be fair.

I wish there was a game soon everyone could moan about, what's next the shade of red used on the shirts?
-
Just wait until we play FCUM. They want to pay a fiver or something to get in. Think our prices are fair and sensible for our level.

My post was highlighting a fact - not a complaint
Your post to be fair is pointing out another fact and is a fair point as well

We're all for fair points on here - I left out the like for like from 13/14 to now which is 11% increase over 3 years for the same number of games in same division - seems a bit hefty for 3 years of inflation but I didnt find the history going back earlier than this so its hard to say.
But I think its a fair price, and I think the Chairman quoted only about 25-30% of the club income is from gate receipts.
-
It was 15p to stand when I first started going. ;D
Interestingly, using an inflation calculator this equates to £1.96 today. The adult price my dad paid of 40p equates to £5.12. I know wage inflation etc is different, just a comparison.

So a player on £10 a week then would be on £130.67 now. Remember that until Jimmy Hill did his bit, the maximum wage was only £20 a week, so players at our level would only be getting peanuts.
-
I know it's not a proper comparison as football and houses have their own rates of inflation. When was the minimum wage abolished anyway, sure it was earlier then 1972, although I bet £10 a week was about right then for a part time non league player? This house cost £67500 in 1996, now the calculator has it at £119,000.......they go for £375,000. I haven't had a proper pay rise since 2009.

this needs to be made more explicitly clear, countless people 16-18 and at Uni don't know this and pay full price, a student price isn't advertised outside the ground or on the site. losing potential fans, as fickle as it is £9 for someone is college/sixth form is ludicrous

Unless you played for Brazil or were called Hazel. 🙄

That is bollocks. If you're U18 you're jibbing U16.

And if you're at uni you always try a concession price anyway. I'm not having that at all.

Don't worry about the ticket prices Andrew.........worry about finding the £4 grand when Burnley win the title :)

Beat me to it, I got 2 and 3 and another three went just after me, as many have said a push on the ticket front would be great, it would be nice to hold on to some of the numbers that came to watch in the National League.

I reckon it's "Ground" as opposed to stand.

Well, I phoned up at 2pm and ordered 2 x Adult and Junior tickets , paid over the phone. By 4pm they had been hand delivered to my house in Timperley...numbered G0004 and G0005. Got to say, very impressed with that level of service....this Club takes some knocking on here but I can guarantee you don't get that level of service from the bigger Clubs. Well done guys!!
