Expand You could argue that in a bigger stadium there's more opportunity to keep a subset of tickets more affordable.

Expand Because as far as I can see the argument that we should have a bigger stadium so that more people can afford to come isn't based on anything other than hope.

Expand You could definitely make the argument, but as far as I can tell there's nothing that it would be based on. Almost every PL club's cheapest season tickets have gone up in the last 10 years, including those that have moved stadium or expanded. At best they've stayed the same while our consumer spending power has reduced. Edited June 6, 2023 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get all inclusive bar, small plate pre-match scran, post match snacks, analysis from a legend. Just seems to be the same sketch as the barracks but the gallowgate club bar area is a pretty cush area to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) It’s quite a scandal if they’re making the tickets 4 times the price and making it only for the rich.

Are there even enough seats to move the people who will be priced out? Expand As far as I'm aware there aren't many ST holders left up there now as they offered a move to the barracks prior to this season at an extra 500 per ticket. Rest of the tickets have been sold on a game by game basis afaik. But I've been told even the barracks tickets are increasing from next season as well so although cheaper would still be pricey. I couldn't justify the cost so just took my chances on hopefully negotiating something elsewhere, but that was my risk to take I'm not mad, they've got to increase their corporate offerings.
