I sit in level 7 and if my ticket went beyond £700 I'd choose not to go. If I was a member and I was offered a ticket for the Wolves game at £100 I'd choose not to bother.

It’s not the £40 that’s the biggest financial issue for members It’s that over two seasons they’ve increased ticket prices by 25% and ST’s have risen by 10% And game by game tickets were already inflated compared to ST’s And The Athletic article mentioned that it had been tough on ST’s because they’d had a 5% increase since last season but didn’t mention that member tickets had increased by double that Neither situation is good, but members are the ones getting rinsed of their cash more aggressively than ST’s are and the article didn’t include that info Edited September 5, 2025 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well aye, that applies to every single person who pays to go in the ground whether they're a member or an ST No one is forced to renew their ST or buy their member tickets, as far as I'm aware Edited September 5, 2025 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the £40 we have to pay just for the privilege of being able to try and buy a ticket, with no guarantee you'll ever get one Ever get the feeling you've been cheated ?
