Just checked back and he was also supporting the price increases last season, saying they were fair, and criticising Red Faction and other fans for taking issue with the increase, and that was during the early bird window.

So he's definitely that sort of person, doesn't impact him so he'll deflect.

Just had a quick read through his posts..defending Farage.
Enough said.

I also defended the price increase in EB last season, but heavily criticised the kids prices, new SC prices and matchday rip off prices in particular.
Club have held prices for EB and put big kids SC concessions on.
I still think the pricing model is fundamentally flawed as per earlier posts.
But our EB SC prices are decent value and Gibson still has to fund the losses even after profit on player sales.
 
Allegedly 8127 season tickets available on the website (I can't be bothered to check).
With a capacity of 33,750 and an estimated 5k reserved for away fans in cup games, throw in 1k segregation, implies we have sold just below 20k.
What was the figure this time last year?

There'll be tickets available in GRFZ that arent available online so that'll bring that 8,127 figure up.
Also there'll be other random blocks of seats that arent available for STs reserved for other things.

Flag waving / HT penalties / players family / friends etc.

I don't think every seat that is shown as unavailable will be an ST sold. There's roughly 500 seats shown as unavailable in blocks 42 and 43 for example which serve as the segregation between home and away fans.

Agreed it's very hard to do an accurate tickets sold calculation (even for normal league games).

The prices are high, but unfortunately that's the price of football. Who are people expecting to subsidise the match day experience and to pay for the signings people want to see? At these prices the club still lose millions of pounds, cheaper tickets won't guarantee more people in the ground, and wont increase revenue, that's usually based on success on the pitch, which means investment in the team, which means more spending.

Then how does every other team in the league manage to offer cheaper tickets than we do?

It has taken 6 pages to clarify that the season ticket prices have been frozen (not hiked). So what reduction were people expecting?

Considering it was the most expensive in the league, the product has got significantly worse, and we spent last season playing at home in front of 10k empty seats every week, a fairly significant reduction could be justified
 
No ST purchase for me. I will pick and choose my games, bit like so many of our players did last season.

Edwards has a big challenge on his hands and I hope he gets off to a flyer otherwise The Riverside could be half empty by Nov.

I'm not defending the prices but I bet we have to pay players more to come to Teesside (not a desirable location for a young lad), and our owner is no longer one of the rich ones, who has been subbing the club for a long time.

Seems daft charging the fans so much for tickets though, when there's no much money in the game.

Last season only 5 of our first 12 matches kicked off at 3pm on a Saturday. Overall 23 of our 46 matches kicked off at 12.30 on a Saturday or were played on a Friday, Sunday or in midweek.

14 of the 23 home games were 3pm on a Saturday, the other 9 were played at a number of odd days and times.

I can’t speak for other clubs I don’t think this has been factored into anyone’s thinking yet tbh. It is still quite a new thing.

But if you’ve got kids or work shifts or nights, or have to travel into the Boro for matches or use public transport, only getting 14 home matches from 23 at 3pm on a Saturday is going to become a bit of a problem imo.

100% this. If i got another ST i’d fear i’d lose too many games due to work and my kids. So it’s too much of a waste. Then the walk up prices ain't cheap either.

I work shifts and still bought season tickets despite working maybe 4 or 5 games a season. Ddint bother for this season. Thought if i miss it enough i might get one at Christmas but no doubt they will be vastly overpriced.
