Yep, seems like prices for new season tickets will follow after that. Though given they sold out this season and I think have a waiting list wouldn't leave many at all at new prices

don't really care what CP says or doesn't say about it tbh But after reading his comments there i'm not sure there's much anyone can particularly disagree with?

What was the simple question out of interest? It can be tough keeping up

Apologies there’s been loads of responses so difficult to address all. re the debit card issue I think that’s been shown: can’t outside of PayPal and not addressed by the club. re ticket prices I spent ages last summer comparing to others; particularly re cheapest v cheapest (I haven’t got the document now but which I suspect some will say suits an agenda etc) but it was covered to death last season. we’ll see the comparisons again this summer when all teams release prices. But given our increases again I’d expect us to be amongst the top championship prices. my own opinion was the worst thing re prices last year was the prices post initial phase and especially prices over the summer which were just appalling

Do you have a record of those prices from then? And how ours compared to others last season?

So Swansea’s are actually lower than I thought? Or am I missing something?

I certainly don't think you care what I post based on your tone and past responses. My initial response wasn't even to you. I haven't posted snippets; i've simply expanded on a comment by someone else and responded to them with the full details, as for some reason they had left those out. That being our comparison to swansea city season tickets. Ironically, the fact that the individual didn't give the full picture probably suggests that they are the one picking out snippets to suit an argument.

Re phases; if I was renewing then i'd absolutely do it within phase one and so I wouldn't be impacted by the increased phases personally. I do really hate the phases though and the size of increases and shortness of them. It's like the longer you take the more you are being punished. Given phase one tickets are still amoungst the highest in the league I don't agree with any increases. Just set the prices there and be done with it. There will be some (after the deadline of phase one) whose circumstances change or preferences change to where they'd be tempted to buy a season ticket, potential first time season ticket holders. If that happens during phase 3 or during the summer i've absolutely no doubt that they'd be put off by the eye watering prices. The way DC does it with phases etc, aren't a shock any more but I simply don't agree with it. Re comparable pricing I can't agree with your logic that only the lowest band matters. I fact that argument odd tbh but we'll just agree to disagree on that aspect.

is there anything incorrect?

As you raised Swansea i'll respond. Their 'early bird' lasts right until the start of April. It's £459 across the board from what I can see and their south stand tickets are £397 if you are with a child. Our phase one were open for 7 days at £460 on the kop, through to £630 on the south stand. We've already finished phase 3 which was at £510 for the kop, £640 north and £720 south. God knows what the prices will be again when they go back on sale. My own view is that the phase one prices was just about ok, whilst still on the expensive side, especially comparing against our competitors in this division for this season at least. Subsequent increases I cannot fathom the logic for and I strongly disagree with.

I know; it surprises me at times too

Just on Reece James I've made that very point multiple times elsewhere. Another one where it made zero sense to prevent leaving on loan. That is true he couldn't have played the Blackburn game. But that's some serious hindsight there. Surely any judgment on that decision has to be from the view point at the specific time. We'd recently got a new manager, new manager didn't like player that was re-signed when we had no manager and didn't even include him within the 25 man squad. There was zero logic behind not allowing him out on loan there; I don't see how that's up for debate. The fact we subsequently sacked the new manager, new manager brought MJ back and he did well in a couple of December games; I mean it's the biggest stretch ever to try and defend the original problem.

You're more unpredictable and up & down than my Mrs Out of interest how do you know my employer? I'm guessing i've mentioned it somewhere

No of course it wasn't correct. We had a loan with recall deal and full wages offer. It made absolutely no sense. He'd had stayed fit and saved us money for 5 months. Lets not try and portray it as a good idea based on the fact the owner had to sack his owner appointment after 10 games
