My ST in the Boston Stand (silver) was £216 in 2012, now £225 in 2013.

A £9 rise isn't too bad really.

It's actually less than the price rise from the 2011 season for 2012......that went up by £10 (£206 to £216).

Did'nt IL say some thing about it going up about £1 a game ?

The match day price in the Boston Stand (silver) has gone up by £1 a game since 2011 (£20), 2012 (£21), and now 2013 (£22).

In 2010 it was £18.

Why not?

£9 is pretty much pennies, but how is any rise justified?

There's been no rise in VAT for nearly 2 years, inflation is the lowest it's been for 2 years. Added to that, we will most likely not be spending to the full salary cap next year, a number of young players are moving on, money from SKY is at an all time high and we are (presumably) getting a lot more money from sponsors - all this while the renting costs for the DW remain the same, the pre-match and half-time 'entertainment' at games either doesn't exist or is absolute toilet (PLEASE stop doing the Sumo suits thing) and the quality on the pitch around the league gets gradually worse.

I absolutely despise moaning about ticket prices, so this post is kinda ironic, but I would love to know where the £100k from the season ticket price increases is going.

.....Especially if the reorganisation of the reserve squads (or whatever we're supposed to call them now) is designed to primarily save money.

BTW that £9 rise is 4% which is well above current inflation. At least the car park hasn't gone up too.

Here's three initiatives I can name straight away.

Happy clapper

Central Park is (I believe) being funded by the council and the money from our CC win (and other profits last year), is it not?

Wigan TV is a subscription service for people that want it, why the frick should I have to pay for it out of my season ticket? (they've actually cut a lot of content that used to be available on the website freely as well)

And I've no idea what the 3rd one even means. Didn't we have a connection with them last year as well? And by connection, I mean we just shipped our unfit players there to get some game time... surely it's not very costly.

Maybe they should introduce a scheme whereby if the club win the CC or GF, then existing ST holders get 5% off the price of the following season's ST.

Pretty sure car parking charges have gone up £35 last couple of years now £39.

I'm also pretty sure I haven't had a pay rise since 2007 so any increase hurts however slightly.

But the price of everything has gone up. The clubs food bill, petrol bill, heating bill, electricity bill, water bill, council tax, probably even the rent.

All in all I don't think a £9 rise (50p'ish per game) is that bad. It certainly wouldn't sway my decision either way about getting a season ticket.
