Swansea City Supporters Trust unhappy with ticket pricing for 2022/23 season
Swansea City Supporters Trust ( SCST) have made it known to the upper echelons of the club that they unequivocally disagree with the new ticket pricing for general admission for the coming season.
Speaking to this website David Dalton ( Trust Chair ) has stated that to a person none are in favour of this move.
The main thrust of their argument to the club was the current economic climate and drop in standards of living for many people country wide. The SCST were aware of these price increases before they were made public.
The rise to £35 for general adult admission (if you buy your ticket via the club shop by telephone) is indeed a high price to pay come next season. Our view here at Swansea Independent along with the majority of supporters is that families will most certainly cut their budgets as fuel, general heating bills and a dramatic rise in staple goods continues. The first thing people will do is cut back on entertainment.
David Dalton has stated that ‘We explained to the club fully why we were against these prices. Although the revenue streams are down again this season we do understand that Swansea City have to minimise their shortfalls. It’s a tough balancing act. However, there must be opportunity for the trust to work alongside the club regards ticketing initiatives this season. The season ticket available to Swansea fans is in fact extremely competitive and the trust work with the club to keep these costs to a minimum. The trust can assure everyone they will continue to ask questions on matters such as this and will be providing updates on all matters affecting the fans this season.’
The SCST will meet tonight with this issue on the agenda.
What to read next:
A point gained for the Swans : Allen isn’t dead Baggies ! Just over 14,600 attended this game at the Swansea.com. Take away the visitors support and around 13,000 Swans fans were allegedly at this game. Season ticket holders are always included whether there or not and the ground look very bare. If there was eleven thousand home fans at this game I would have been surprised. That’s a good few thousand who have stayed away this afternoon. And well down to what we could have expected on the last Saturday before the majority return to work on Monday.
Swansea City v West Bromwich Albion, plus Villa winger out of reach This morning we focus on a game which has lost itself to what we can call ‘football fatigue’ Especially after some of the extraordinary fall out after Luke Williams press conference yesterday afternoon. Unbelievable nonsense on one of the other websites, faceless, nameless and very obsessive.
Swansea City : The Luke saga drags on and on : What’s next today ? As the many thousands of views dictate on this website we continue to report matters of interest as we did yesterday morning on Luke Williams. A fairly concise and pertinent piece by our site owner. I suppose what every writer relies upon is for the reader to actually understand what is being said.
Swansea City : Does Luke know what he is doing to our club ?There has been much comment and it has to be said bar a few abusive idiots on social media a lot of frustration on those platforms regards Harry Darling and Luke Williams. Much of this brought about by the reluctance of Luke Williams to just clarify his position at Swansea City.
