| You buy a season ticket and if you can't make it, there will be someone you know who could use it for a tenner.

| I will buy my usual season ticket despite almost certainly missing several games because if I didn't Mrs Pimpernel would try to get me to go shopping. I can say I have a season ticket so have to go.
I sit in the main stand so wait with interest the cost for me but I would caution our board that they must take into consideration the state of the economy when they publish the prices.

| Always bought a season ticket knowing I would probably loose out. My choice but feel like it is a way I can help the club. Can sympathise with people who have children over 17 who are in full time education and think providing they can prove they are then maybe there should be some kind of concession for them but can remember when mine were students there were no student ticket prices.

| What baffles me is people talking like £220 is the end of the world.
I'm sure some people wouldn't think twice about shelling out £30 for one game of footy at Elland Road.
Plus everything else that goes with it and at a conservative estimate, you would be forking out £50 for just one game.

| Quote: Theboyem "Said exactly this yesterday. Given me & the mrs will likely miss at least 2 or 3 games next year then justifying a £440 outlay at this current time is tough. I'm afraid we only have so much spare cash we can spend on Wakefield Trinity so if we do get them then sadly it will mean no replica shirts or other merchandise which we always get and no club 1873. I'd love to be able to throw money at the club but it just can't be done. Sadly there is a likelihood that next year will be the first year in many a moon that we won't have a season ticket.'"
Spot on mate, i'm not being political and have never worked for the public sector but some of the figures bandied about by today's strikers made you realise how tight money is. I'm a pensioner but thankfully can comfortably afford a concession ticket for Cas but the days when i watched Cas, Wakey and Fev whenever i could have gone. Its not just the ticket but diesel and refreshments and it all adds up. You can only take a man's money off him once.

| So from 1/September to 1/December the 'early bird' offer for Adults is 220 correct?

You're obviously easily baffled.

| £220 is a lot of money no matter what value you put on the ticket.
Some will be able to afford. Some won't. Doesn't make you a lesser fan.

Last seasons early bird was £150 leading up to £205.
This seasons early bird is £220.
If the fans want the club to progress, they can't moan about the players we sign, the budget dictates who comes in.
I'm sure there will be loads of threads about missing fans/ low crowds next year.
The baffling thing is that they want the best team or a better team but are not prepared to pay a bit more to get it.

| A seated ticket at £285 will stretch some, me included. Especially when concession age has gone up to 65.

I agree with most of what you say. I've already posted that £220 isn't unreasonable for an adult season ticket.
The baffling thing is that you can't put yourself in other people's shoes and understand that it is a hell of a lot of money for some.

The real problem is that the actual people buying season tickets are being asked to cough up to make up for the people who don't buy them.
I paid full price for years but now am able to get a concession, I think that has gone up 50% from last years price so quite a hike up, not 'a bit more'. I will still get one but you cannot criticise people who may be on lower incomes for 'moaning' about, let's face it, steep price increases!

I agree entirely. I posted before that we should get behind this and the club ONLY if you can afford it. £220 is a lot of money and hopefully the payment plan will help a lot of people. My Car tax has come through and lets just say its not far off that! I know which Is better value when I'm driving over pot holes left right and centre.
In the interests of fairness and as a big supporter of this regime I do offer constructive thoughts. I wouldn't want to be classed as a club puppet I feel not having a student option is missing a trick for two reasons. One I know of a lot of students who go to the games because I taught them. They will struggle to afford full prices because I know their social and economic backgrounds. Simple. Secondly and of most importance to me is the risk of losing them full time. When the cycle of watching a sport is broken ie between child and adult it is difficult to get them to come back. They will find women, alcohol and other activities. (They will probably do that anyway). So if they stop watching at 16 then when they can afford it at say 19-22 the three year gap has given them other activities, entertainment and avenues. I would have liked a £99 Student ticket but that's off the top of my head so would need scrutinising.
However the club has made its choices and just because one thing doesn't fit doesn't mean we all shouldn't get one.
Others have posted that they might slightly miss out financially but they see that as their way of helping the club. So if they get the season ticket and do miss 4 games they are not bothered because the money is in the clubs pot. That's a great attitude to take and I appreciate we all can't do that but fair play to the ones that can and do. The more money in the pot, the better structures and team on the field. So if you can only watch 50% of the games, surely it is better watching 50% with a competitive team.
Again if you can afford it a big surge of season tickets in the early bird price offer will help us in the off season financially, set a marker for our future intentions and get the ball rolling for others to follow.
