The Chiefs put their prices up significantly after Covid in the expectation that the loyal fans would continue to attend. They didn't. Attendances plummeted and 12 months later with their tail between their legs they announced a significant reduction in prices. Attendances however did not bounce back straight away and they now only sell out for the really big games. The lasting perception is that a day out at the Chiefs is now prohibitively expensive.Nobodies getting screwed! My matchday experience involves paying £20 ish for a train, more if I drive, several pints and food. All these prices have risen a lot over recent years but we pay them anyway. Why should our club be the business that takes the hit whilst everybody else raises their prices accordingly?
This is the bit where people spit out their coffee and and scream hysterically that we are crap and boring and lucky if anybody turns up.
I think we're wonderful and on the cusp of great things.
I appreciate you are probably not advocating a significant rise in prices, but there is a delicate balance about what people see as "value" and the amount they are willing to spend to watch 90 mins of football. That amount will vary from person to person based on several variables. The season tickets in the Stanno for me, the Mrs and the boy, cost north of £1,000. That's a big chunk of cash, even for someone who has ECFC in the blood.
