2012/13 ticket price freeze and 2013/14 rise

[dom9]

To compare, the following club's ticket prices (not season tickets) have gone up:

Arsenal - 920%
Aston Villa -400%
Everton - 700%
Man Utd - 700%
Tottenham - 571%

From 1990 to 2011/12 season.

For information, the Bank of England figures show cumulative inflation of 77% since 1990

How easy was that to find?

[dom9]

They don't officially recognize us Dom . We've sent numerous open letters to the Chairman stateside, asked for meetings and never had any responses since that first meeting in October 2011.

They know we aren't a talking shop and that probably won't fit their
agenda.

The Supporters Committee doesn't vote. It doesn't challenge these decisions in any substantive way. It merely gets told what the Club are implementing.

Welcome to FSG

Have you engaged with Ian Ayre directly too? And have you asked them why they've excluded you (without using the kind of language which might further isolate your position)?

[Muddled]

How easy was that to find?

I did it from my phone whilst stood at a vending machine.

Yes . They can control the Supporters Committee with promises of free tickets and travel to a number of games through the season when they conduct meetings .

We will always ask the most pertinent questions . That may offend some but you can't always sidestep or please everyone . If ticket prices are too expensive , you have to draw a line in the sand and stand square behind your position .

It's that simple to me

We could do with you in Communications !

If all those clubs got themselves organised and said "enough is enough" then our position would become much easier .

That may well happen in the long run

We've got a Supporters Committee to address these issues

Ouch.

I'm gonna leave it there now, but the next question would have been 'what did you ask him?'

But never mind.

I can't help feeling you guys have made a rod for your own backs. That said, there are SOS guys on the committee (albeit in a non-SOS capacity) so I'm sure you can get your feedback across in that form.

Nnnnoooooo . You're not listening . Thats a race to the bottom mentality again . All of those along with us are far too expensive

I am listening. Its Market Forces. If Everton had not pushed up prices by 700% in the same time period then I may have been concerned.

Well there is not a monopoly situation. You Make the choice to pay. There are other alternatives freely available. I call it Business.
