You pay to sit in that seat for one season. Now you have the choice to sit in another seat for the upcoming season where you can moan to your hearts content. Enjoy the ride, stop moaning about the journey.

PS I fixed the post for you, specsavers allowed me the joy of being able to see your mistake. You're welcome.

This is how I see the Price Rise.

As a Senior I bought my Season Pass today as an Early Bird retaining my seat in Bristows for £349. Cost £15.17p per game.

The increase based on 52 weeks works out at 82 pence per week after a 3 year price freeze. I am not complaining.

I pay about £15 per game against £20 per game for a full price ticket in Bristows. I get 25% off. Very fair in my book to support my lifelong team in their quest to return to the EFL.

Personally I am glad the board have shown they are prepared to make potentially unpopular decisions in order so that the club can progress. Remember this money will be going to enhance the football club, not to line other people's pockets.
All season people have been saying they're so grateful to Bryn for giving them their club back; well now comes the hard bit, back it or lose it.

Although I believe the price hike for young fans in Bristows' Bench is a big mistake, there are many factors at play and a simple comparison with League 1 / League 2 isn't clear cut. The infrastructure at a higher club, of similar capacity, isn't significantly more expensive. Their players will be getting bigger wages, but maybe the sponsorship of both the team and individuals makes up a significant amount of this number. I see an increased ticket price as an investment in the longevity of the club.

I'm a bit baffled about the indignation of some on here, I had to go and check the O/S to see if ticket prices had sky rocketed...
Where can anyone realistically get a few hours entertainment for under £20 these days? I get that money is tight for the majority, myself included, but if you could afford to attend last season then this rise isn't a deal breaker. Apologies if that sounds harsh, but it isn't.
When I started a thread earlier this year, many jumped on the fact that we nearly didn't have a club to support, which is absolutely right, but now the Board have made this decision let's extend the same gratitude for being able to attend matches still.

As a side note, if anyone had particular extenuating circumstances I'm almost certain based on their conduct to date, that the club would come up with a special bespoke arrangement, for example an installment plan.
