New Season Ticket Prices Announced

[Fozzy]

Had an email through this afternoon with the new Adult prices. Oldies and youngsters get massive discounts (lucky so and so's)

Early Bird (before 31/05):

DP Stand: 380.00

Kop: 310.00

Family: 310.00

Full Price:

DP Stand: 410.00

Kop: 330.00

Family 330.00

Under 18s price is 45.00 in all stands early bird, 55.00 otherwise.

 

Lots of other benefits announced including a local business discount card, but they have decided to remove the free programme offer, which is a mistake in my mind, as I like the programme, but probably won't take advantage of anything else to the same value.

I suspect it would have always been the case, I made comments earlier (awhile back) that I suspect it was to lift the amount of people who read it, in the hope that they would continue purchasing it but I'm afraid I doubt this will be the case. I often see people leaving them behind or throwing them a way, even in games we win - which I find quite sad because it's well put together with a lot time/effort going into it.

I'm not sure what to say about the prices.

It's good it's been lowered for under 18's, hopefully it will prove to be popular but whilst the takeover is uncertain, I wonder how many will take up the early bird offer. I will be doing it, nothing would stop me from going but I do feel it will put some off (as many have said this to me).

does not seem to be massive difference for the majority of fans who are between 18 and oap.

i will purchase my first season ticket. its a good offer for people my age so credit to the club for that.

What a rip-off!!

This year my season ticket + @Blackville's + My father-in-law was £430 this included 23 matches, 3 programmes per game at £3 each (family stand).

Now they offer me:

Mine = £310, @Blackville's = £45, My Father-in-law = £205

3 programmes at each game = £207

A total of £767 for the three of us!

AN INCREASE OF 56%

No more season tickets for us!!

Just a bit of perspective. If the same three of us were to buy Gladbach season tickets in the family section, including a programme each per game it would come to £600! Now admittedly that's for 17 games rather than 23, but it is Bundesliga against English 4th Division.

I also see mansfiled have a new card system where you buy a card fo £35 and then get discounted tickets so that if you go to more than 6 games you start making a profit.

[upthepies]

I cannot say it motivates me but I will as always get one.

The club could have been more ambitious but I am wondering if new owners would be content or put off by the prices. That said it is a step in the right direction but will we still seem over priced? I suspect so. 

[Fozzy]

I would like to see where we sit (pardon the pun) in the scale of the football league regarding ticket pricing. Over £400 is a lot of money for the Pavis Stand and it would not surprise me if you could watch Championship football at some clubs for less and I bet we would be definitely in the top half of league one clubs.

The tickets are £50-60 more expensive if you buy a program every game...

Very disappointed with this. The early bird is £10 cheaper, but will now 'have' to buy a programme, which is £72 over the course of the season. The free programme was a good additional reason to join 'the bench', and I think a price increase in real terms of £62 for a season ticket is wrong.

[ivansneck]

I've looked at some other 4th division clubs for next season. Notts are in the middle in terms of prices to be fair. These are the prices what we buy, whcih is 1 adult, 1 under 12 and 1 senior. All early bird prices, all family stand or equivalent, all seated.

	Adult	Senior	Junior	Total
Exeter	379.5	333.5	92	805
Crawley	380	304	59	743
Carlisle	324	273	130	727
Mansfield	330	275	85	690
Yeovil	336	268	39	643
Wycombe	299	262	80	641
Plymouth	320	240	77	637
Cambridge	315	230	60	605
Luton	260	240	80	580
Notts County	310	205	45	560
Wimbledon	310	190	50	550
Newport	315	230	0	545
Northampton	249	249	0	498
Bristol Rovers	260	130	98	488
Hartlepool	250	150	75	475
Orient	180	125	65	370
Accrington	199	159	0	358

Some fantastic value, some total rip-offs. Notts are neither really. Interestingly no noticable north-south divide, just huge variation.

[Turkey_Twizzler]

How Exeter and Crawley can afford to charge so much is beyond me, neither will storm the division and neither have massive fan bases

we really need to start trying to get more fans but until we are more successful and without the drama each season brings i doubt it will.

prices are good for me, i do not read the programme.

[Elite_pie]

I've no complaints on the pricing at all, it works out at exactly a tenner a game for me for a seat in the main stand with an excellent view.  I consider that very good value.  Can't say I'm bothered about the programme to be honest, I very rarely read them anyway.  I will renew my ST before the Cambridge game.

[themightymagpies]

Not impressed, I think the value could be better for all.

How do you motivate people to buy when there are little reasons? The extras are just fancy unnecessary additions and any optimism wont happen until we have a fresh change behind the scenes.

I am with @ivansneck, 

quote

Due to the club currently reviewing its match day programme offering, we have taken the decision to replace the programme in the season ticket with additional benefits, which represent fantastic value to our loyal supporters.
 

Unquote

There is a real disconnect between the so called additional benefits... 23 pound match ticket versus 69 pounds value of match day programmes. Do you think after the season we have experienced, that is good value for money for the Season Ticket holders that have backed this club? 

If that is the best the new CEO  can come up with.. and his complete radio silence over Cooper's departure, how can the average Notts fan feel any confidence about the future? Ownership issues drag on, Branston tasked with finding Central Defenders...he had the whole of last summer to source and FAILED abysmally. Can he be trusted with another new season's budget, the answer is NO

Cooper's brief managerial reign, at least raised some confidence that his footballing philosophy was streets ahead of Jamie's.

I live miles away from Nottingham but have bought season tickets by way of a financial gesture of support for the club..maybe achieving 60 per cent attendance of home matches. I have serious doubts to renew this support, when there is no positive direction, on the field off the field and even engaging with supporters. The Media team delivery of news has been compromised by SB's departure.

[Fozzy]

Spot on @Piethagoram, I have been debating the same thing regarding the season ticket situation as I must miss half a dozen a year as I can't make midweek games very often and I always miss the first couple of games of the season. I will purchase one again this year, but I am going to hang on until the end of May, just before the early discount finishes hoping that we have a couple of things cleared up by then (ownership/new manager). I feel that one of those will need to be announced in order to give supporters an incentive to renew, either that or they will hang on till June so that supporters have to pay full price!

The club has to give full control of the playing budget to the new manager and set up a scouting network, not one man with a massive ego that hates to come away from the South West and is paid too much for his performance. How can one match watch several players over several weeks in order to build up a profile? That is why we ended up with players like Audel (watched him once). I also seem to remember RT saying on another board that one of the Dutch lads was sourced by him as well, but no idea which one.

At least we are not alone in having a club in complete disarray, just look at Blackpool.

 

[DangerousSausage]

To play the devil's advocate on the programme issue, perhaps the club is looking at slimming down the programme and making it cheaper? There seems to be a trend towards cheaper and smaller programmes now. 70 pages is a bit much really - around 30 pages selling at 1.50 would be about right.

I think Blackpool must be the only club in the entire league that is more toxic than ours right now. From top to bottom, from the media team to the boardroom, the (empty) manager's chair to the dressing room - no-one actually seems to care. The people who do care, the fans, are regularly scapegoated by the owner. We have no owner who wants to be here, no manager, no plan. How on earth are we going to attract decent players, how are we going to sell season tickets?

This situation needs sorting out, and fast.

@Fozzy I believe Filip Valencic, Slovenian,  was sourced by Guy
