I can understand an increase in price, I dont think anybody would argue with that. Its the extent of the increase that leaves a bitter taste in the mouth. An increase of £95 on last years ticket price of £160 is extortionate pure and simple. We have probably shot ourselves in the foot with this idea I think. We need as many fans as we can get and this pricing strategy is clearly at odds with this. We are currently at a stage where have managed to get a few more fans in on Tuesday night due to a cheap ticket offer. This doesn't automatically mean that they will come back to pay full price, especially when Burnley are at home on the same day as the Oxford game. We are putting up barriers to bringing in new fans by making games all ticket this will reduce the chances of roaming fans coming on due to the hassle of buying tickets in advance, we are then increasing season ticket prices by 63% to current fans and then demanding the money within 23 days, not forgetting trying to charge them to enter a bar that is for supporters and finally looking to increase matchday prices. How are all the things going to entice people to come on?

The charge for going into the supporters lounge is quite bizarre, why not just close it to the public and open it for commercial hospitality only. To charge supporters to go into a supporters lounge is downright cheeky, surely it makes sense to not charge and get people in there to put money behind the bar or just tell them to use the Crown to keep people putting money into the coffers. People will probably just vote with their feet and drink elsewhere further down the road.
