Provided that you buy before 2 May (ie: before you know what division you will be watching), here's what you'll pay at Ashton Gate next season. Buy later and the price goes up.


PRICES

Atyeo Stand: Adult - £415, Over-65 - £275, Under-21/student - £200, Under-16 - £115, Under-7 - FREE (Block B only where available), Family Ticket - £935.

Dolman Stand, Blocks C, D & E: Adult - £500, Over-65 - £360, Under-21/student - £270, Under-16 - £130.

Dolman Stand, Blocks A-B, F-N: Adult - £470, Over-65 - £315, Under-21/student - £250, Under-16 - £115; Under-7 - FREE, Family Ticket - £935.

Williams Stand, Block L: Adult - £415, Over-65 - £275, Under-21/student - £200, Under-16 - £115.

Williams Stand, all other blocks: Adult - £470, Over-65 - £315, Under-21/student - £250, Under-16 - £115.

Wedlock Stand: Adult - £275, Over-65/under-21/student - £200, Under-16 - £110.

Disability/Wheelchair: £205, carer free, subject to terms and conditions.

I used to sit in the central blocks of the Dolman Stand, which has just hit £500. Four years ago it was £294, that's a rise of over 70%.

No credit crunch for Steve Lansdown then.

Your most expensive is £15 cheaper than the equivalent at hillsborough. And we could be in the third division.

Lordy. In Munich — not renowned for being cheap — I can watch Unterhaching for €9 and 1860 Munich for €11.50 (and that's in the Allianz Arena). Which is why I've started to watch live football again.

So you could potentially watch 19 premiership matches for £275. A massive £14.47 per match.

That Steve Lansdown must be coining it in.

We've sold more season tickets than Cardiff City have EVER sold in their whole history. 13,000 (up from 8,000 last year)

Mainly down to new ST holders being guaranteed a cup final ticket...
http://tinyurl.com/2gff4j

Our prices for the last season at Ninian Park range from £199 for a terrace ticket (out in the rain) - my choice, and £519 for a centre "grandstand" ticket. These prices are valid until tomorrow, after which they'll go up.

I believe the £199 season ticket to be one of the best value STs in the division (as long as your coat has a hood).

Oxford's prices are being announced on Tuesday, but I do know that there's going to be some sort of price reduction across the board, and that the North Stand, which is currently the same price as the South Stand Lower, will be made cheaper (between the East Stand and SSL price), which means away fans will also pay less to get in. They're also introducing a family ticket, which is nice, but sadly aren't introducing Family Stand prices for kids around the ground.

Orient announced that season ticket prices were not going up when we still in with a good shout of getting into the playoffs. Clearly the club knew that we were ultimately doomed to stay down which says something about our lack of ambition.

We have one stand closed for building next season. STs in the remaining stands are £303, £308 or £328 before May 29. Don't know about after that.

JtS, firstly there is no way on earth that Bristol City will make it into the Premiership.

Secondly, the offer is limited to 1,000 as this stand also houses the away support. These 1,000 seats will be spreading out from the corner, so hardly a great location.

Thirdly, the stand offers very poor sightlines and many obstructed views due to the number of pillars in the way and that the stand has a shallow gradient. It is also uncomfortable as many of the seats have no back to them.

However, the most unappealing aspect is that since home fans were allowed back into the old East End, it attracts the kind of chav who mistakes creating an atmosphere with intimidating opposition supporters.

Given that 3 years back, season ticket prices in other areas of the ground were raised £50 to fund the redevelopment of the East End, a redevelopment we are still waiting for by the way, you'll forgive me for not viewing Steve Lansdown as being the saviour of cheap ticket prices.

Heh. Boring fact of the day, Fred Wedlock is the grandson of Billy Wedlock after who the stand is named.

Wednesday's have gone up 12.5%, which is quite frankly shit.

Mr Laws makes some more friends at board level:

QUOTE:
He added: "Every time we try to do something on the pitch we also seem to give them a knock, whether it's the season tickets or the way we started the season or the takeover issue. My heart goes out to them. They have stood with us."

Aware of the ticket controversy, he added: "I appeal to the supporters to put to one side any differences you may feel with the club, for these next three games, and give it your all, because what happens on Saturday will certainly determine how we go on for the rest of the season."


Good work to Huddersfield too.

Any Wednesday fans who feel their club is ripping them off, you are more than welcome at our place!

Blue and white stripes and Andy Booth - it'll be just like you're back in the big time circa 1996.
