Can I infer from that when everyone else increases their prices we will be in a group near the top? Do you think that part of the problem is Bristol seen as an affluent area ergo everything is priced accordingly whereas,little old Fleetwood up in the frozen North is one of the cheapest ? No. I think the issue is that the owners haven’t got a clue about the struggles of every day life and have tried to pull a fast one. |

On top of season ticket prices there is a £3.50 service charge. Has anyone renewed at the shop and did you have to pay the service charge?. I have emailed Pete but not had a response yet.

Ok ,being objective do we think there should have been no price rise at all I get the Family problem,would like to see reduced prices for children under 14 to encourage the next generation etc as many have said. What's a fair price for an Adult to watch a match ,bearing in mind if I go to a concert which lasts the same time it's much more expensive. |

Read my previous posts , I’ve no issues with the adults price. Concerts aren’t comparable as they aren’t every year. Do you think a price rise of 238% for anyone under the age of 14 was acceptable or do you think it shows owners who are completely out of touch? |

Otherwise you might say something sensible like, £15 a kid for the coolant stand and £100 elsewhere. |

There should be a value exercise carried out by the club to justify the pricing strategy. The fact that within a few hours of an announcement they are scrambling around trying to appease, tells us that they are making it up without any thought. To compare to a concert is fine but do the market research on it. Also other activities that people do on a Saturday afternoon. Cost of living, employment rate, comparison with other sports clubs and competitors, take up of different areas of the ground, our facilities, the entertainment on offer. It just seems like fag packet planning. |

Sure it's disappointing they've gone up but no real issues. |

Ok,nope U14 increase is totally bizarre,seems like it's not been thought through at all. |

Only time will tell whether or not the Owners pricing strategy is good, bad or indifferent, although imo, the cost of the early bird dearest seats, which is not where my sons and I are in the ground, works out at £21.70 per match, have two pints instead of four before the match, doesn't seem to bad for an afternoons entertainment.

I don't think you can really compare with the price of a concert, as Rovers aren't exactly the Guns 'n' Roses of the football world. Also, at a concert, you can be fairly confident what the standart of entertainment will be before you purchase your ticket. |

It will also be in a world class facility and they aren’t asking you to fork out every 10-12 months. |

It just seems like fag packet planning. It’s reactive. The same as the managerial appointment was, the same as deadline day sitting around waiting for the phone to ring was. Not a good start from the new blokes, let’s hope they learn as they go. |

They have to put ticket prices up in order to pay energy bills needed to cremate the sausage rolls

Agree,even if the price increase was based on ROI I could understand that however,the U14 increase seems nonsensical if your serious about growing the fan base. They also don't get the 30 factor as it was called in British Airways," if you water someone off,they tell 30 people,who tell 30 other people and so on ",end result you don't have a business. |
