17/18 ticket prices released

[Whiston Blade]

Most expensive ticket is a Cat A* on the South Stand & John Street at £36 on the day (£34 if purchased in advance plus and extra £1 off if you have a membership card).

KOP: Cat A*

Adults £30 advance, £32 on the day

Westfield Upper Corner & BL away: Cat A*

Adults £32 advance, £34 on the day.

Interesting to see that the South Stand and John Street now cost the same, was it like that last season... ?

Seriously, fuck off now with these cat posts

 

[Drunk blade]

£36 to watch a championship football match is a joke... disappointed with the club

Wow, the Wednesdayfication of United begins...

For once, and about time too, a season ticket looks great value.

Decent prices them.
The attractive games will be expensive but the less attractive games are quite cheap (similar to last season)

No Cat C? So the kop is either 20 or 30 quid.

EDIT - it is showing two prices for Cat A - one with an asterisk. Not sure what that means

 

[Maidenhead]

Match day prices announced.

https://www.sufc.co.uk/news/2017/july/match-ticket-prices/

Look very reasonable to me £30 max for advance purchase on Kop which should also be price of away tickets.

Will be interesting to see how often we can pay less than that for away games.

Couldn't be bothered writing it again

Or £25 for cat A.

Would expect that to be the majority of games.

Cat A is the normal big match (Villa, Sunderland etc)

Cat A* is rarely used
It's the extra special big match where the club can guarantee a sell out even at expensive prices
So thats the Steel City Derby or if we get Man Utd, Liverpool etc in the later rounds of the cup.

I think much will depend on supply and demand too.
So if we charge cat A prices for the normal big matches but sell out the ground and there's a struggle for tickets, then expect the club to use cat A* more than they planned. If they can charge more and still sell out the ground then I expect they will.

I think the Cat A* is for the big games against pigs, scum etc...

 

[Drunk blade]

Makes the season tickets look very good value but a lot of those who cant go to every game and hence haven't got season tickets will be put off by those prices and just not bother going

 

[Dkc]

So why not just have Cat A, B and C, and make most games B or C?

Seems a bit confusing to to have Cats A*, A and B.

If the vast majority of games are 20 or 25 quid on the kop, then our prices are better than most Championship clubs.

Presume Brentford at home will be Cat B - can't wait.

I agree 100%, I assume they think Cat A* sounds better when selling the bigger games.

Wow, I've never known anyone so excited to find out what category a home match will be.

That's the on-the-day price for one of the biggest games of the season, in the most expensive stand in the ground.

We're talking about the kind of games where the South Stand will probably sell out anyway, in which case it'll be £34 advance price, with another £1 knocked off for members. Very few people will pay that £36 price.

A comparable ticket across the city will cost a punter £13 more, without knowing whether they bump it up a few quid if you pay on the day.

Both the South Stand and John Street are the same price this season.

Finally a post on this thread with common sense.

The cat B prices are the same price as last season.
So if anyone is put off by cat B prices doubt they'd go anyway.

The catA* is brought in as a means of printing money.
We could charge £40 a ticket for the next Steel City derby and it'll still sell out
But it would be wrong to make cat A all £40 as people wouldn't go.

As I said cat A* is rarely used.
It's only for matches where there is such a massive demand and we can charge extortionate prices and still sell loads.

Ah, it looks like their marketing is working on some of us.

Cat B is effectively Cat C, and prices have gone up by a couple of quid. Cat C on the kop used to be 18 quid, now its 20. They've just messed around with the names of the categories and abolished Cat C entirely.

Sad but true.

 

[Bladesman]

The club try to make sure most of the matches even when we were in League 1 were Cat A prices.

You can forget Cat B as a handful of league and cup games will be at that price.

Thank you Lieutenant Colombo....

Sometimes when you shoot from the hip, you can hit yourself in the foot.

£36 for the best seats for the biggest games, but reduced to £34 in advance is hardly Wendy territory.

If we'd started spraying rust accelerator around and re-routing the Sheaf over the pitch, then I think you would be on more solid ground.

It's the slippery slope. When we're in this division for 5 years as they have been, would you bet against ticket prices hitting the £40 mark? I certainly wouldn't.

Actually if he re-routed the Sheaf over the pitch he'd be on very boggy ground or underwater.
Just sayin like.

I thought this thread was looking a bit positive. Thank God normality has been resumed and the knocking has commenced.

[Bladeloyal]

I wouldn't worry about south stand prices it's already very close to selling out with season tickets
