I'm back for this one so we better win.
A quick look at the Grimsby forum and their match thread is 5 pages of moaning about prices.

Yeah. The cost of travelling and booze and they moan about an extra £2 on a ticket.
My first of missing 4 games. Piece if piss, 4-1.

£27 is too much for a ticket to be fair, especially for away fans. £20s plenty. |

Grimsby since their return to the league travel in very good numbers for L2, last season they brought 565, they took 1,064 to Wrexham last week and 675 to Walsall a few weeks back. |

For those who wish to read about the cost of our ticket prices its all here, a few are understanding but so many saying they wont go because its a couple of quid more than other grounds. https://forum.thefishy.co.uk/Blah.pl?m-1694457001/s-0/The ironic thing is that a season ticket at Swindon is £359 and at Grimsby its £420! https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/all-efl-league-two-teams-in-order-of-season-ticket-prices-ranked/#tranmere-rovers---pound-440Also many clubs charge more than we do for matches. https://www.football-stadiums.co.uk/leagues/league-two/But also I do agree £20 is more than enough for L2 matches, but to moan about us specifically is a bit pathetic, like Walsall fans last week. MKD, Crewe, Colchester and AFCW all charge more for match day tickets than we do. Walsall, Sutton, Morecambe, Gillingham and Accrington all within £2 of that price and some of those offer uncovered seating/standing with a poor view. |

Away fans probably aren't buying a ST mind.

A lot depends on what you get as well, Morecambe was £25 but it was seated (not ridiculously tightly unlike some grounds) and under cover, pretty sure when we went to Barrow a couple of years back it was over £20 on a tight terrace where you couldn't see the whole pitch?

I am aware of this just stating the fact that at home they pay more than we do and are in the top 2 for charging their own fans the most for season tickets. |

Stick them on the Bank. Charge them £20. Let the weather Gods decide.
