£111 is the price for a U18 ticket.

My son has a U12 and his has gone up from £60 to £63. Mine has actually stayed the same as the renewal price is the same as the cost of a new season ticket last season.

Does anybody know what the procedure is if I want to renew my season ticket but change seat?

£111 renewal price for my Trent End lower seat. Not too bad, although to be honest I’d pay anything anyway, what else would I do on a saturday?

The right thing to do would have been to put up the new tickets but not the renewals - repward loyalty. Alas. T’is not to be.

I don’t get it? Yes Nottingham in relation to Derby is far more affluent etc ect but how can the club justify such an increase? Has Mark Arthur’s and is wonderful world of PR stepped into gear again…. Well anyway, the price basically means that I will pick and choose matches rather than commit. I wonder how many other fans feel this way? actually I do know the strategy behind it but surely a full ground is better than 70-80% full, ask the players, it could be the difference between a draw and a home win and we all know the fine line between success and failure. There’s still a fundamental problem with the way our club treats it supporters and at first I felt the complaints last month was counter productive but now I think the sooner supporters have more input into the running of OUR club the better. YOU REDS!

You got it.

As I said, maybe they are so low to encourage people into the football club/business park.

They already have the money in the bank of course.

If they spend the extra 13% putting an extra one person behind the bar or getting some kind of better system for selling food or improving the totally useless mainstand PA etc etc then I guess it won’t be too bad.

So we’re 20% more expensive (simplistically, by taking the most expensive, granted) than a Premier League team (in the loosest sense of the word) was last season? Given the rises of 10-13% for us this year, this also means that we were paying more in League One than that rabble were in the top flight!

I realise it’s a socially deprived area and everything, but even so!…

Derby froze theirs. I think we would have increased ours if we got relegated.

Derby have sold 19,000 ALREADY and are on-target to at least match the 24,000 they got last year.

More tickets at a lower price=more money + more programmes/pies/ale sold.

So our most expensive ticket is 20% more expensive than Derby’s?!

That must be what Mr Arthur meant when he said “Including other Championship club’s pricing structures” being only one of several factors! I wonder if they reduced their prices from last season?
