Come off it...£259 to £350 would be what, a 35% increase??? 

That would be utter lunacy and destroy at a stroke what this board have carefully and sensibly built over a number of years, aiming for year on year development of the fanbase.

I'll be waiting for the real life numbers tomorrow before getting too worked up about this.

Hopefully the £350 will be for a new season ticket holder, about £300 for a renewal would be about reasonable you would like to think. keeps the existing fanbase while encouraging new fans

The give away prices can't go on forever. This years prices were not sustainable. Turn up on the day fans were hit harder than this and have partly funded the cheap season tickets. The balance was wrong and it looks like the club are addressing this. Still a £10 saving per match(if the freeze matchday prices)+ the benefits. We will be promoted so its an improvement in football quality. Increasing matchday prices would be a mistake

Why would the board budget using an unsustainable model arriba? It would only bite them later.

300/350 for renewal/new sounds more stomachable.

As long as the matchday prices go down, you can't complain about the st increase I guess.

Just come back from the club shop. The woman in the shop, who was being asked about ST prices, wasn't letting anything slip bar there will be an increase, and from her body language, I wouldn't be surprised that they are £350 next season, which is the price they were 5 years ago.

This season's ST, was in effect, a price cut due to the VAT rise last Jan, and we have been spoilt since the new board came in. £350 is cheaper than most othe L1 teams, and the woman in the club shop that the club will be offering ST's to be paid by instalments over 12 months interest-free..

Anyway we'll soon find out tomorrow...

I have last seasons leaflet

£259 for the Don Rogers stand was based on the Matchday price being advertised as £20 (at least that's the price it states on the renewal form I downloaded), but you had to renew by the end of March or it went up to £299 before the end of April or £399 afterwards.

There's no doubt renewals were good value last season; but you had to commit early, after May it was a major increase of £100.

There use to be a time when you renewed your season ticket at the end of the season not three months before the season finishes.

Clearly if there is a massive hike in Season Ticket Prices it will put some people off, especially in the current financial situation. Pay on the day is ok if you are doing well, but if we are struggling or there is bad weather it's easier for people to say I won't bother going.

Anyone with a ticket stub from the Oxford game will get a £60 discount.

We will indeed.  However if the club are going to offer 12 months interest free, I would tend to think they are feeling the price will be a struggle for some?

As Batch pointed out, it will be interesting to see how long the early bird period lasts for?  I think it's ridiculously early to be bringing out next season's prices especially with Wembley coming up.

This year was 12 months interest free, they added an admin fee/arrangement fee on that which was an extra £30.

If the early bird prices aren't good enough people will hang on for a bit and dare I say if we don't go up then it'd be a stupid strategy as we won't sell enough.

Personally think the early bird prices will be similar but the prices will get hiked up a lot by April, will try and get people locked in before the worst happens (not that I think it will, but it'd be daft not to rule it out).

I'm planning on getting a ST again next season after missing out this season, was hoping they'd be £300ish or below.

An extra £50 isn't a deal breaker, just means I'll have to tell the wife she's got £50 less to spend on prams.

No problem with a price increase. The product is a good one and one we know will be invested in properly, to a greater extent if we cough up. Wouldn't say that a few years ago....
