Category B

[HermitageBlade]

There’s not yet been a single cat A this season…..Watford will be the first.

Bristol City, Millwall and Southampton were all category B’s (prices starting at £30+ £1 booking fee on the Kop whereas cat A start from £36+£1 booking fee on the Kop) and home to Charlton was the, new for this season category C, which was £25 anywhere in the ground.

However the club are making up for lost ground because the 2 matches after Watford are also cat A. Can understand Derby Co being a cat A but there’s no way QPR could be classed as one of our more attractive matches this season…that fixture has always been category B in the past.

HermitageBlade,
Home to Leicester on 1st Jan will be cat A…..so pretty certain the Oxford home match 3 days later will be cat B.

Bizarre that Southampton was class B but Watford is Class A. What’s the criteria? Anyway fingers crossed for Oxford.

Category A for Watford, Derby and QPR is poor for from the club considering there is a good chance we won't have a shot on goal in any of the games

Mid week matches are almost always category B, it’s always less attended than Saturday games. Also traditionally Southampton is not an attractive fixture.

Would expect other South coast clubs like Portsmouth, Brighton and Bournemouth to also be category B.

See what you mean but ST prices are priced at there being roughly 50% of the games being cat A and 50% cat B regardless of how the team perform on the pitch.

If we were top of the league you wouldn’t expect the club to take advantage and price every match as cat A, there would still be plenty of cat B’s even if we were doing a Coventry and scoring. 3 or 4 every match.

Agree but you'll get a situation where 2 or 3 thousand fans possibly more just won't bother, the best part of £40 to watch this team in a run of the mill championship game just seems like a complete piss take

Qpr and Stoke Category A

I really don't blame non ST holders that won't spend nearly £40 on that shite.

Awful our pricing these days.

Yes, but the quality of football on offer is well worth it!

It doesn’t receive enough publicity but we charge some of the highest ticket prices in the EFL…almost the same as at S6
But it looks like they are massively reducing tickets for this season. £20 on their Kop and £25 in their main stand with kids charged £5 for any stand.

The “nearly £40” is only for the Kop. On the South stand and John Street, it’s £41 + £1 booking fee = £42 a ticket.

I think our pricing structure isn't too bad for matchdays in comparison to the Season ticket price, just looking at the General sale pricing on the Kop for season tickets this season (no-discount) it was £513.00 for 23 matches. Going off a £36.00 a match day ticket (price for QPR) over the season is £828.00 if bought individually at that price. The club is giving the loyalty benefits to the fans and pricing it accordingly to allow you to afford to miss a couple of games and not be out of pocket. You could price the Kop at £23.00 a ticket but for 23 matches that be £529.00 and the benefits of having a season ticket start to waiver. I am not sure how many fixtures a non-season ticket fan goes to per season, I would imagine the average is anywhere between 3-6 but a game every other month isn't too badly priced in that ball park.

Although the football isn't much better for reference an equivalent seat i.e. behind the goal at Fulham was £61 vs Wolves on the Saturday just gone.

I am not a season ticket holder; I have attended all home games this season. A couple of home games per month, I can afford it. With a lot of home games between now and early January. I won't be going because way too expensive. I am retired, like most people. The cost of living, etc, makes money tight. That's the way it is for me. dont get me wrong, I am not asking for sympathy or owt.
