The prices do sound as though they've jumped up. The blurb says a small percentage but it looks inflation bursting (although I can't remember what I paid last year). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casagolda Posted April 28, 2023 Author Share Posted April 28, 2023 (edited) Well sacking 2 managers, both their assistants, signing 18 players and operating with a 30 man squad all to simply achieve a bottom 6 finish(with zero cup runs or significant player sales) will lead to financial gaps needing to be plugged I suppose. Like I’ve said many times before, you can trace most if not all of our current problems back to the absolutely disastrous summer we had last year and we’ll be paying for it for a while yet.

capt_oats Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 (edited) These are the current season's prices: https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2022/05/13/2022-23-season-tickets-now-on-sale/ vs next season https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2023/04/28/2023-24-season-tickets-now-on-sale/ Early bird differences for an adult as follows: POD = £20 more. DC = £45 more JH = £45 more FWIW: here are the 21/22 prices - they were frozen from the 20/21 Covid and curtailed 19/20 seasons: Edited April 28, 2023 by capt_oats 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazylegsjoe_mfc Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I imagine the gate prices must be going up too. It's currently £21 to get an individual ticket for the East Stand. The non early bird ticket (£395 / 19) works out at £20.79 per game. Surely they'll be incentivising buying a season ticket for more than a whopping 21p saved per game? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellboy1991 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 That is a fair hike. £45 across the board is a jump. Not when spread over 19 games but certainly will seem like it when paying upfront. For me I’m buying 3 so paying £135 more at a tough time of the year gives you a bit of pause….. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Yep - this will be a test of how much the general cost of living stuff will hurt the numbers (and I think it inevitably will). Interesting to see prices between the cheap seats and the POD narrowing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handsome_Devil Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Easy for me to say as someone who doesn't buy an ST but this was an obvious increase in the circumstances and it's hard to begrudge it. The massive 'however', however, is the reset with the fans etc which should have happened last summer really needs to happen now. Being shite isn't as much of a long-term danger as drifting and we're approaching, if not already in, dangerous territory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 (edited) Looking at it from the POV of 5 seasons, 3 of those were frozen (albeit 1 was played behind closed doors and the subsequent 'free' season was paid for by either the insurance pay out or David Turnbull). The price jump between 21/22 and 22/23 for an adult early bird came in at: JH - £15 more DC - £15 more POD - £16 more Given everything costs more these days then as @Handsome_Devil suggests (and full disclosure I'm also in the 'not a season ticket holder' bracket) you'd have expected that an increase would have been in the post but it definitely feels like a noticeable bump and as @Casagolda alludes to there are probably a multitude of self inflicted factors involved. Genuinely quite curious as to how the prices stack up against our peer group now as our cheap seats always felt relatively well priced in comparison.

eliphas Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Never going to be ideal but everything is up in price everywhere. The increase brings in no more than what 180 grand. That will be gone easily on lighting, heating and stewarding increases alone I'd imagine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, I think given the circumstances most people would have expected a modest increase in price but as @thisGRAEME says, from a comms POV leading into a ST campaign that's sees the cheapest tickets bounce up in price by £45 (compared with £15 at the last increase) by leaning into the well worn tropes and literally saying "Motherwell is a town that has dealt with hardship..." as your opening line is quite the fucking choice. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I'm not sure how much these videos do either way to be quite honest. I quite like them etc but did think a lot of the time it was a lot of money and/or time spent on something for little to no gain or loss. Looks decent though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
