Unsurprising. Hopefully that puts a pin in that 'we should move to a bigger stadium so more people can afford it' argument.

You could argue that in a bigger stadium there's more opportunity to keep a subset of tickets more affordable. In a smaller stadium every seat may need to be maximized for revenue (especially if demand remains high).

Why?

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. There's no evidence to back it up, if anything only the opposite.

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.

I agree it's certainly not guaranteed. Most teams who build a new stadium raise prices, partially to help pay for it.

I'll see if they're willing to negotiate somewhere else but gallowgate club and I think the barracks are/were the lowest of hospitality anyways.

 

C'est la vie.

 

What I get for ditching my original ticket in leazes all them years back [emoji38]:embarrassed:

You’ll definitely get offered an alternative

"The Rooftops suite" formerly the Gallowgate club.

 

Looks like it's a champagne bar now [emoji38]

A couple of years ago, Ashley would have put a couple of dodgy chairs and tables on the Gallowgate roof, complete with the mildew, and charged you a premium for Squab, and whatever water you can sip out of the guttering.

TBH I would consider prices in the thousands if I could get a season ticket right now. I don’t have £7k like. 

 

 

 

Expand  

 

See this was my thoughts and I couldnjust about justify the 1.5/2k bracket, just.

 

7k (14k really as it's two minimum) is well out of reach though, and nor would I want to sit there now considering changes .

Did they send you any blurb about what you get for your 7k? Would be interesting to see

 

*for clarity I don’t have 7k either

They did and I'll try uploading the pics from the pdf they sent.

 

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.

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?

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 :sad:

 

I'm not mad, they've got to increase their corporate offerings.

 

Was just shocked at the 300% increase [emoji38]
