A lot of us have pressures on our finances right now, I get the point of view from the under 21s but i am guessing a lot are either students or still living at home with parents

Out of interest do other League Two teams offer a Under 21 season ticket?

No we fully understand, not all are apprentices or students.

can't see that. Would be giving themselves more hard work refunding under 21s that have bought adult tickets tonight.

It isn't so much a price hike, as a huge discount last season. Not sure why the 19-24 bracket are any more deserving or in need of a huge discount than, say, 25-30. Very few other clubs do that. Some offer a discount for unemployed or recently employed, which makes more sense than just an arbitrary discount for an age bracket.

Ours are probably the cheapest tickets in the league, or there abouts. Just be grateful you got an amazing deal in 19/20.

I think it was a concession for the 18-21 young adult age group in the past. Its a valid point, the hike from under 18 to full adult is steep and the 18-21 ticket price band we have had previously was a good mid point. I can understand the board trying to maximise ticket revenues from the reduced capacity but this is an age demographic that we have preciously struggled to get in and by making it as affordable as possible helps that.

Yes I get the argument too that its not as clear cut as that....

They're complaining because tickets were £25 for under 18s and £75 for under 21s - so that was a vast leap to the £250ish it cost for adults (not much of a mid-point).
Yes, they had an amazing discount last year to get a few extra young people to attend, but it can't be justified this year when tickets are in such demand. Same as I doubt there'll be many "kid for a quid" tickets or 'buy two get one free' deals this season.

Unless we're bottom of the league, of course.

Price of promotion, a £229 hike. Only a few months ago it was all about the future, lost a good amount of money tonight by doing this. Sad to see.
That’s £4 a week,just cut out one visit to McDonalds a week and your sorted, stop moaning about it and get it bought.

Yes it’s a jump but to say they’ll lose a lot of money is unlikely. If one in every 4 of those buy a ticket, the cost is covered.

Now a question .
Is there a limit on season ticket sales ,i.E capacity 6000 ,6000 people buy season tickets so unless you buy a season ticket you will not get in.
Obviously supply and demand would say you sell as many as you can.

Apparently not, which is stupid. Especially if there attendance restrictions when new season starts.
