Oh yeh I forgot about them plus with Barlaser in midfield there'll be plenty of goals to see, I've always fancied having a coronary early due to stress from watching footballEven £700 is still a bargain to be fair.
Guaranteed to see goals and entertainment with Glover in goal and Fry at CB.
What more do you want.
Probably going to be circa £620These are early bird prices too.
A new adult season ticket holder who doesn't buy in the next month will be paying over £600 for the cheapest season ticket.
That's awful.
Oh without s doubt it’s carrot and stick why would anyone renew if there was no stick.This probably means walk up prices will increase too.
21% increase in 3 years ooufffff....View attachment 71768
Brutal increases...
Well I would guess walk up prices will go up by another £2 next seasonGone up 20% over the last 3 years. Not sure the quality justifies that
Walk up prices gonna gone up aswell, awful announcement this.
At a time the club was doing alright behind the scenes with recent RF meeting attended by Carrick, Gibson and Scott and Scott going on the 12th Man podcast, they release another increase in ST prices.
I think the club will be disappointed by the number of renewals but i think it'll show more on the decrease in walk ups.
Because they don't give a ****.Any word from our toothless supports forum or invitation only event cretins. Can a RF reflect fan dismay with a message to the club? Why pretend to have engagement then kick the supporter in the teeth?
So what’s that walk ups £40 odd ???These are early bird prices too.
A new adult season ticket holder who doesn't buy in the next month will be paying over £600 for the cheapest season ticket.
That's awful.
Did the chairman stick to that commitment to meet fans and discuss any further increases?This was the summary for the increases this time last year:

A Statement from Middlesbrough Supporters Forum regarding the price increase of Season cards and walk-up tickets for the 2023/24 season.
We received acknowledgement from Middlesbrough Football Club of a potential price increase of 8% for the 2023/24 season. The Football club asked for our initial thoughts and views on this increase.
Middlesbrough Supporters Forum are aware of how expensive attending football matches has become and have made it clear to MFC that they are disappointed in any increases in ticket prices that prevent football being affordable for all......... [follow link below to see full text]
The chairman also presented his own facts and figures and provided context as to why a minimum price increase of 8% was required. Although we are against the increase in price, we do now have a greater understanding of why prices are being raised and we have outlined some of those high-level reasons given to us below:
- Current rate of inflation is above 10%
- Operational running costs of the football club have increased by over £1m a year, which include utility bills, business rates and staff wages. (national minimum wage / cost of living increases)
- Gate receipts no longer cover the running costs of the stadium.
- The extra revenue generated by raising ticket prices for the 2023/24 season covers less than 50% of the growing operational costs.
- The club has made significant gains in increasing commercial revenue, all of which is used to ensure that ticket prices remain as low as financially possible whilst trying to plug the gap between operational costs and ticket revenue.
- Almost 50% of tickets sold fall into the concessions' category – (not a full paying adult) which is a very high proportion compared to other clubs.
- The stadium (which is now over 25 years old), and training ground, requires ongoing investment to maintain facilities and overall match day experience.
- The football club wishes to remain financially stable and competitive whilst remaining within the financial fair play rules.
- The mean average per person per match going through the turnstile from season ticket sales is £12.50, net of VAT.
The chairman has committed to working with Middlesbrough Supporters Forum more closely going forward and consulting with us earlier in the process. We already have a date in the diary with him for further discussions around this topic for future seasons, as well as memberships schemes.
Although price increases is something that nobody wanted, we appreciate Steve Gibson taking the time to meet with us and committing to more engagement going forward.
We will keep you updated. UTB
