Why are you comparing to meals, concerts and pantomimes? Why not compare for a family of 4 to watch championship football at other Championship clubs?
We are well above average and I believe there are only 2 or 3 teams that are more expensive.

What is going to be the advantage of a membership scheme? We already have the loyalty point system for allocating priority on in demand tickets.
If it is going to be a scheme where you pay X amount to become a member and receive X amount of discount on walk up tickets then I will reserve judgement until I see the structure. Other clubs that implement this system don't tend to offer sufficient savings to really justify it for the vast amount of walk up fans.

The adults prices aren't far away, slightly on the high side. It's the kids prices that are miles away, almost double what most other clubs are doing it for. Below are all based on the ticket prices for each club for their next Saturday 3pm kick off. The childrens tickets do vary. I have used U12 as a bit of a guide. Most other clubs have a tiered system for kids. U8 / U12 / U16 / U18 etc.
The GRFZ ticket pricing is very popular. It is sold out and not available for on the day purchasing. Why can't they extend this pricing structure stadium wide? Or at least extend it into other parts of the ground so tickets are accessible.

Go online now and try and buy a ticket for one of the next 3 match days....Someone on another thread reckons he always buys a ticket in the GRFZ on match day and that it isn’t sold out at all.

Yeah I seen that post. He said that they are available if you ask at the ticket office. I've checked every home game this season online and they've never been available so I've sat elsewhere.
If it is true then it's even worse that MFC have cheaper tickets available but are actively making them difficult to purchase.

Have you avoided the mythical Naughty Step? If so, bravo!
The pricing structure would be defendable if we were ever close to selling out. We're not. Every week we have 6-10k empty seats. The club prefers to have empty seats worth nothing than full seats worth something. I know the club is a business but they should really recognise that they are more than a business to people and there are people out there that want to go that can't afford to.
How many season tickets do we have? Is it 21k? If that is correct that makes 11k seats available for walk-ups and away tickets. Max revenue at £32 per ticket for 23 games is £8m, we average 26k so 5k tickets at £32 is £3.7m. At £15 walk-ups we would sell out every week and make more than the 5k at £32 does. I'm not suggesting £15 tickets but £25 tickets would only need an additional average attendance of 1.5k to make more than 5k at £32 does and it would still be cheaper to get a season ticket (£95 cheaper for a nearly bird).
*All of these figures are assuming every walk-up pays full price and all tickets are in the North Stand which isn't accurate but the ratios should be about right.
Edit: And if it didn't work and we dropped the prices to £25 and we still averaged 26k then it would cost £800k per season which in the grand scheme of things seems like a very small risk to take to improve things for fans in a poor area of the country.

There's no safeguarding reason
. Every other family stand in the league is available online. There's no note on the website telling fans to contact the ticket office if they want GRFZ tickets. They are just shaded out as unavailable.
If they are holding tickets back but not informing people this is the way to buy them then they are only doing it for one reason.... and to be honest if that is going on it is a disgrace.
@fmttmadmin Rob please will you clarify this issue at the supporter's forum.

You may mock my comment on safe guarding, but I know that it's a reason why some other clubs don't allow 'unaccompanied adults' into family areas.There's no safeguarding reason

Perhaps making people buy in person at the Boro ticket office is a way to weed out oddballs (for want of a better word)?

Do they ask to see a picture of your kid as well to make sure he doesn’t have his tracky bottoms tucked in his socks
