If costs have gone up 17%, as reported, then I’m not sure the prices can be argued with. The club is a business, and the only result of reducing the real cost of tickets, is to reduce our competitiveness on the pitch.

Or have some decent cup runs in all competitions. Get more sponsorship. Get promoted. |

If by some fluke we got promoted the season ticket prices would be decent.

No reasonable business can budget on something as unpredictable as a cup run. We have a 5-10% rise in ticket prices, with a c. 17% rise in costs. Players (the good ones, the ones we want) will also be pushing for wage increases at or near the level of inflation, so those costs will go up. Of course it’s unfortunate that some may be priced out, but it’s not the cost of the ST that has priced them out, but the cost of living generally. |

The club need to sort this out very quickly, if the national media get hold of the suggestion that we're putting up disabled tickets by 40% and non-disabled ones by 5% that's going to be (rightly) an enormous shit storm.
I don't for one second think this is intentional, but it's careless and looks horrific - including on the supporters groups that put out a statement saying that they were happy with the prices. Everyone loses.

As I understand it, previously it was priced as the disabled individual being a concession and then a free carer in addition (if required). I think the pricing change is that the individual is now treated as an adult. I wonder if there is a view at the club that this is being exploited by some to reduce their costs, but if that's the case, punishing those who genuinely have a need is... not good. |

Way beyond may area of expertise but what is the position for disabled people in terms of pricing when attending other similar forms of leisure activity like the pictures or theatre? |

This is what cinemas do. Disabled get a complimentary if carer pays full price.
To apply, the person requiring assistance must be 5 years of age or older and be in receipt of one of the following:
Disability Living Allowance (DLA)
Attendance Allowance (AA)
Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
Adult / Child Disability Payment (ADP / CDP in Scotland)
Armed Forces Independence Payment (AFIP)
