Deputy Dawg UK Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I know from friends (no longer at he club) that they want to try and follow London type prices which we all know will never happen .. and they also know that even though 52000 people come through the door they can never ever match the income of clubs from the capital... We are a big club but we do not generate nothing like the income of clubs form the south !! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 you can walk in ...they want people to sign up ..sadly they will never ever achieve the London prices (which I know Ashley wants) they need bums on seats and I feel this may possibly be the bit of straw that broke the camels back !! What is this based on? We've hardly made any moves to increase prices, in fact quite the opposite. They cant increase prices if the fans know they aren't trying for cups, aren't bustung a gut for european football and they are happy to just maintain prem status. They cant possibly increase the prices with that "business plan" Nail on the head. The London clubs achieving better prices are offering a better product.

Deputy Dawg UK Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 ' we used to ' sums it up would we get the corporate deals ?? £1000 per year season tickets no I think Mike Ashley now knows this which is why even with trying to achieve more we will never be up there..... I sincerely hope I am wrong but I only listen to what others have talked about in my company !!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he built a top 5 to top 4 challenging team, people would be falling over themselves to get season tickets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI QPR and Fulham charge a fortune also. They have smaller grounds and they can fill them easier. If we had 25k capacity we'd probably charge a lot more too.

Incognito Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 My bulk payment to cover 3 years meant i paid about £480 a season. If I stay in the same seat it's going to cost me at least £602 this years price) unless I get another loyalty offer from them. So that'll be a minimum 25% hike to watch a club who haven't bought a player in 18 months. Other option is to take my nephew and get us both a seat in the family section for about £480. No hike, but means embracing middle age. Decisions. Take Ben with you, you old bollocks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggs Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 A friend of mine hates Ashley and co but is renewing stating "I will still be around when he has gone" but whinges on about this that and the other and my argument is watch the match in the toon with the lads and you still get your fix ,his attitude is a contributing factor why we will not force change and that pisses me off.

GM Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Have to say if I lived nearer than I do (currently Edinburgh) then it would be less of a big deal decision for me....but it's a seat in the Gallowgate, ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to face the fact that attendances will never get to a level that will "force change", whatever that change will be. People like going to the match, it's normal. My advice would be to keep going as long as you fancy it, there's no reason to feel guilty about supporting your team on a match day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are a big club but we do not generate nothing like the income of clubs form the south !! Ticket prices for tomorrow ranged from £45-£70 and it sold out in a few hours. If we had the success the likes of Chelsea have enjoyed for the past decade and were genuine title challengers, Champions League every season, winning cups, we could sell out our stadium easily charging "London" prices. I'll state now that i'm totally against charging all that for what was once a working mans game but NUFC are one of the few clubs that could get away with charging daft money for tickets if they ever realised their potential. Remember under Freddy Shepherd the club were charging £40 a ticket up in Milburn level 7 (whether that was against Fulham or Man Utd) in what is now the cheapest section in the stadium and he was filling it as well.

pedro111 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Apologies in advance as its no doubt been mentioned loads of times but how do I go about cancelling my season ticket? Is it a simple phone call? and does it have to be done by tomorrow night? Not 100% doing it but that Net Spend table has really hit home to me just what a mug I've been spending money on this shite.
