I’m really glad you’re the one who could understand the ‘survey’ OS…like the ML survey…why bother

Just a thought if you are an “owner” should you have to pay to go in? 😂

Ha, we did a lot of work on Community Ownership a few years ago and and at most clubs, nobody, including the Board, the players relatives or any others associated with the club got in for free…they all paid for their seats, their travel, their food etc.
Be interesting to see what our Board and their associates do…will they lead by example…be a good question to ask
Wrexham on this front we’re amazing

Has anyone got details on what the increase is per category of ticket?
I had a quick scan of the email when it came through and I'll be renewing my South Stand ticket over the weekend. On first glance I didn't notice much of an increase (if any!). I'm sure it's only £220 which is a steal for top division Rugby League.

I get 3 season tickets for the west stand:
1 Adult 1 Over 65 1 under 18
I haven't got a breakdown but last year it cost £479 for the 3 of them in total
This year, if I buy in September it will be £495. Thanks an increase of around 3.5% so well below inflation.

All things considered, I think it's still decent value.

All things considered, I think it's still decent value. For live sport it's a bargin, but I worry what effect, every game on TV next year will have on attendances. Problem is also we don't have details of what cameras at each game means in practice, so if you delay you miss September deadline. Just reading Hope and Glory, the feeling of deja vu is amazing!!!

Today’s game makes the investment in a ST all the more worthwhile for me. The euphoria I felt after Sam scored the GP winning try was priceless and it demonstrates what value for money that a ST, despite the increases, is for us supporters. I appreciate times are tough for many so drop down a category if that helps but please don’t abandon the club when it needs you most👹🤞🙏

I've been looking at the season ticket prices paid last year. As stated previously I get mine as a gift from family. Last year early bird price for me was £330 (senior in 1873). If I still qualified as a senior, this year would be £414 in the September special. An increase of over 25%. As a standard adult it goes up to £520 on September special.
I bring my grandson to games - I am trying to wean him off football. His ticket at under 16 last year in the early bird was £98 as under 16. The category has changed this year to under 18 but the September special price is £180. An increase of over 80%.
Are these justifiable increases?
I have had some great experiences at games (and some disappointments) but I will have to rely on the occasional game from now on.

At least it gives the Club another get out clause…’not our fault, fans aren’t renewing season tickets
Like other Community Clubs I’m sure the Board and other ancillary folk will acknowledge that we’re all now equal and everyone, them included should be paying for Season Tickets, Meals, Travel etc So let’s see if they have real Leadership Skills and pay their way as every owner will and additionally stop all complimentary tickets and freebies
Interesting times

All equal?you put your house up against the debts have you jjr?!constant berating of the board is boring,as for season tickets for top level rugby league there excellent value,and maybe if a lot of people hadn’t used kids tickets to get in hence the club losing more money the prices wouldn’t have to go up,but hey that’s the boards fault again not the fans trying to get away with it!

Welcome back lhr, this mortgag3 must now be in the millions, even Rosler was getting fed up with hearing about it, whatever it is.
Sadly I’ve heard of quite a lot with mortgages and families who can’t afford those increases; 25%, which is reality ….which you might tell to your pals on the board…it might not be excessive to you lhr with your 5 bed detached and a top end Porsche but reality for a lot is quite different
Has the Club not yet identified any other ways of raising money other than from the same old fans, Sky and the LA? Genuinely a lot of people are really struggling
The fans gave a third of a million and a couple of hundred thousand raised from Dupree…now not only 25% rise but pressure on to buy virtually before season end….and still no news out of the Club to the ‘owners’…strange

Price rises are inevitable.
For what it's worth I still think it represents great value in the current climate. I think whether it's justified will need to be measured against other SL clubs offers to see if other clubs raise their prices also.

Why don’t you ask them as you seem to speak to rosler who will be on the free ones too as you say they all are!like I said no mates on board just grateful that they have done things like put there houses up against debt otherwise there would be no club!as for early season tickets I see top of the table wigans go on sale before the end of season to wonder if there fans bitch like you!just sick of hearing your constant slagging off of people that stepped in when koucash left if you can do better then step up join one of the groups to help or just carry on being a keyboard warrior like you are!
