Season Ticket prices 20:21 - Mar 7 with 10993 views | ribble | Last year's double deal was offered on the premise that ticket prices for the 2015-16 season would 'definitely' rise - this would be the last season the £195.30 standard 'early bird' price would be on offer. Given that our imminent relegation is hardly likely to drive sales upwards, what do we think the club will do? If they retain the £195.30 offering then those who bought a 2 year ticket might well have grounds to claim they were mis-sold the package. And yet, with League 1 status pretty much confirmed, the club is hardly in a position to start raising prices, or even to match the standard ST price of this year which, after all, was for Championship football. Considering the utter farce this season has been, I would fully expect sales to plummet whatever KO does. But it does seem that the club has rashly painted itself into yet another sticky corner.

Season Tickets prices on 20:47 - Mar 7 with 9872 views | Osbourne | ribble, Again, you are right. The "Trap Door" of the Championship 2014-15 is going to release Pool. The "Riga Revolution!" When Pool fans brought their "2 year season tickets." Who would of thought that Mr Jose Riga, a dynamic foreign manager, who had just worked wonders with revolutionary ideas at Charlton Athletic 2013-14, would be starting the 2014-15 Championship campaign at Nottingham Forest with a cancelled pre season tour under his belt. With next to no one on the substitutes bench with him at the City Ground. Pool fans brought their "2 year season tickets" in anticipation of a successful Championship campaign, thinking of a possible top 2 or play off position and the dream of the Premiership. Mr Jose Riga was our man, Jose was going to do it for Pool. Osbourne fell for it! What a "plonker!" We are led to believe that about 6,000 fell for it! 6,000 - I wonder? The irony is that come the 2015-16 season, Pool Division 1 season tickets, will probably be on sale for less than the golden number all Pool fans have stamped in their subconscious - 1953 ie £195.30! Osbourne loves going to Bloomfield Road - "When Saturday Comes." But, Osbourne and 6000 others? was conned! Now, get the best Pool XI on to the pitch for the remaining 10 matches of 2014-15. Look for 8 wins out of 10, at least go out of the 2014-15 Championship with a fight. Get some loans in to help out into the bargain. If need be Osbourne will play. Did Pool have a shot on target in the second half today (Sheffield Wednesday?) - "Osboune Dazzler - hell of a player!" Osbourne is totally | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I can imagine that ST prices will indeed raise just to make sure that there is no get out clause of being mis-sold a 2 year deal on the basis that the second season discount would not be available and that prices would raise. Not sure how many 2 year deal season ticket holders there are (I am one of these idiots by the way much to my shame) but say 3500 took the bait. If early bird prices are pitched around £230 (tenner a game), then another 500 might actually take them up on that offer. With Pool being relegated and a few new clubs to meet in the 3rd Division who will more than likely bring at least a 1000 following to the Seaside (with a pretty good chance that they might see their team win to boot), plus the odd floating "customer" - then I would imagine this will allow the club to publish the "Official" attendances around the 6,000 mark, though I doubt there will ever be that many inside as "actuals" | ![](/images/avatars/15236.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

bottle if the new price were to be £230 I think you might not be far off. Didn't we have around 4,000 sign up for two years? However, I think tat they might be closer to the number ribble mentioned. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Robbie I was informed by an excellent source last week that there are 6,000 signed up for the second year deal. Given that there has to be some increase for the reasons stated about mis-selling, I would imagine a price between £220 and £250 at the most. That might induce some to take the plunge who were always going to renew but couldn't afford the two year deal as a lump sum. As such, I'd imagine the season ticket base to be around 6,750. However, I know a fair few who have signed up for two years but currently have no intention of taking up their place, having written off the expense. I'd also imagine there will be a rise in the number getting a membership who can then pick and choose games at a reduced rate. Away crowds, leaving aside a few notable exceptions, will be well down, maybe to around an average of 400? All in all, another missed opportunity. | ![](/images/avatars/15067.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

400 away average? Nah-as brr as alluded to on the other board there will be at least 300 wotsits at every SE game,so that figure should be around 1k. He didnt though mention South and South West games* where the likes of SATW and other westerners will be attending. *takes opportunity to mention Plymouth where SSP actually fell UP the stairs (rolls eyes) | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

I think Wizz was referring to away attendances at BR. Our away gates will continue to be impressively massive because of the NAPM 'away games only' lot. There are thousands of them. Apparently. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
Season Ticket prices on 07:27 - Mar 11 with 9490 views | Since1967 | If Wizaard's 6,000 is anything like accurate this means that then income anticipated from ticket sales for next season will be highly reduced. Many already committed and paid (whether they attend or not) and many who just will not bother. This will mean that the funds available for funding players will also plummet. More of the same I am afraid. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
Season Ticket prices on 10:31 - Mar 11 with 9472 views | OdinsRaven | 4000 took up the second year. This was confirmed by those working in the ticket office TBH I might buy at 230 - not to support the Oystons - but to watch all the away teams as its a while since we've met most of them.

You would have to have more money than sense to part with cash for a new season ticket - be like buying a car that had no instructions, hadn't been constructed and had a poor record! | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

As my name suggests I am an ST holder and interesting I went along to the ticket office on Friday because we want to move seats in the west closer to the halfway line and they were saying they have had a lot of requests for details and tickets purchased and looking at what's available in the west it looks like the majority are staying put. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I can see them soon throwing in JP Trophy and even League Cup games along with a raft of other initiatives to make it look value for money. The problem is at the moment you aren't actually investing in anything! Whilst £12 a game is still decent value for money, it would be like booking 25 meals at a restaurant and paying up front only to find out you get served shit on a plate! | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |
