Anyone else got a bad feeling there's yet another increase coming?

I would guess they are going up from £15 to £17, based up on the season ticket price going up by £50 per year.

Hopefully it sticks at £15.
£17 for mid table Division 6 football would be excessive imo.

It is, and if admission prices and season ticket prices have gone up, that will put some people off going to games l think, and the owners have to realize the prospect of that happening if they do that. Not to mention the complaints we'll get from supporters of other Clubs and it's embarrasing when you get that

....... it'll be especially galling if our management don't get extra revenue from our owners for our budget this season

Not to mention the complaints we'll get from supporters of other Clubs and it's embarrasing when you get that imo if the prices go up there should be key improvements to the squad and posssibly a higher finish. Quality of play will bring people in over a couple extra quid, especially for the local armchair fans.

The cheapest adult ticket at League 1 Luton this season was £18. B Wood was £18 too. The cheapest at Watford was £30.
An armchair fan isn't paying £17 for Step 6 football, no matter how good the football is or what our league position looks like. We shouldn't need armchair fans though - we've just recorded our highest average attendance since the Conference season - a higher average attendance than the season before which included winning the first six games in a row and being in the playoff race for a lot longer. Thanks for your loyalty everybody, here's a 13% (or more!) price increase.
I can't believe we're even discussing this...

I already bought my season ticket so I not directly effected but I don't think anyone is in favour of a price increase. I argee that £17 is too much for step 6 football- only a pound lower than Luton. Also if there is a price increase without a commensurate budget increase this is unfair on the mananger as it creates additional expectation without resources. the issue seems to be that there no evidence that the hike from £12 to £15 effected attendences so I think the owners believe they will get away with another increase - although its not a direct comparsion as we were promoted last time. I have no idea if it will effect attendences or not. I not suggesting it will not but everyone seemed to think the previous increase would have a impact on attendence and I don't think it has , its impossible to know the counterfactual. So while I hope the price is frozen I can understand the owners' logic.

I don't mind paying more if it's worth it but signings so far are underwhelming. Lost Kamdjo but retained Diedhou - not inspiring me yet, but there's still time.

Still don't understand why a Membership scheme needs to be introduced? Are there going to be different matchday admission prices for members & non-members?

There possibly will be different matchday prices for members and non members. But l think that as soon as possible we all need to see a whole item about everything on the Saints website. I am waiting to renew my concessionary season Ticket from it.

I'm waiting to renew my season ticket until we get confirmation from the club regarding march day ticket prices for the coming season.

Looks like we may have competition in the National League North for the highest ticket prices.
York City charging £16 - £21.

Well, we're now in June and this should be the time now for the whole Season Ticket, Membership and Matchday admission prices page to go up on the website, and not keep us all waiting any longer. Of course I know that it can't happen until the Club is ready for that to happen, and the reason why it's not happened yet l guess, but as it was first mooted in the Torquay matchday programme about next Season and there is a link to apply for Season Tickets for next Season (but you have to "dig deep" for that) and stuff has been said about Season Tickets for next Season, come on Football Club, let's see it on the website so we can see it all in one go.

So a 20% increase on early bird tickets but less than a month to the early bird deadline, compared to last season when the announcement was made on May 14th so fans had a month and a half. Also no renewal discount by the looks of things, is that right?

This is old news that has just been dressed up a bit to get more youngsters to get season tickets! I still don't see the point of the membership scheme being linked to the season ticket price when all it does if you join it makes the earlybird ticket the same price anyway.
Still no announcement on the matchday entrance fee.

Very true minty - it's a bit disingenuous to say season tickets available from £227 - they may as well say SEASON TICKETS FREE (with a £252 membership). It's also not particularly clear many winners there will be for the u-16 free replica shirt draw

I'm interested to see what the matchday prices are too, to compere a whole Season of them to the season ticket prices. I don't know why they haven't announced them at the same time like all the other times ticket prices have been released.

What a sorry state of affairs - and still no announcement about the actual match ticket price. How are we supposed to know if the season tickets are good value if we don't know how much a match ticket is?
Unfortunately we can guess how much a match ticket is going to be, but I'm hoping that's just a vicious rumour.
