[bod101]

Isn't it around now we would normally get our season tickets renewals or am I imagining it?

Looking back to 2019 (pre-covid) I got mine 10th April.

 

[Me Babbies]

Pre-covid, Early bird used to be around now yes.
These days good knows when & how much

With inflation it’s going to be pushing nearer 700 mark I think for those sitting on the side behind the goal 650? Only a wild guess

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

It's going to be a shock, with sensible renewal prices and a rebate it all seemed very reasonable this season.

What would the total cost of a season of tickets be behind the goal now? Well over £700? What was the new ST price this season? Can't see the renewal being less than £600 which is going to be a big squeeze in these times.

Be the last time for me ...I'm out.

There comes a point where you have to make a stand.
This could be it.

Freeze them.

 

[North West Wanderer]

So my Facebook memory from 2011 indicates I renewed today 11 years ago..

After last season's increases and in the current climate, surely prices will be frozen.

At which price point though, the renewals price, or the new ST price from last summer?

It’s creeping towards 700 no matter what

After the way Vinny shafted the loyalty point fans last season just to sell a few more memberships I’d be surprised if ST are frozen.

My ee bill went up 9%. Bt Made billions. They don’t care. Now is the time to show that they do.

The supporters trust have called for prices to be frozen.

Trust calls for ticket price freeze — Wolves 1877 Trust

Wolves 1877 Trust are urging Wolves to introduce a ticket price freeze for the 2022/23 season.

Absolutely. Said on another thread that the club needs to prove we're all one pack

This next year or two is going to be horrendous for those on low incomes

 

[Alex Rae The Substitute]

Will be stunned if prices don’t go up. Just wouldn’t be in line with the way Vinny seems to operate.

If my ticket in SBU goes up to anywhere near the new prices for STH this season then I really will not be renewing. Will be very sad, but I just can’t justify it with all the other costs of living going up.

It’s starting to cost close to £80 just to get to the game in petrol now, just can’t justify these costs. Especially with how many games are on TV and how easy it is to stream for free.

 

[Bill McCai]

Renewal Prices for 21/22

"New" Prices for 21/22

 

[UEAwolf]

Better get a new card for the £6 admin fee. Realise it's incredibly small in the grand scheme of large price rises, but the least they can do is send a new bloody season ticket card.

 

[Minimalist]

Will surely be a price freeze with renewals paying new price .

 

[Wolf316]

Will surely be a price freeze with renewals paying new price .

With thousands on the waiting list they know they’ll be able to get away with a price rise.

 

[Corporate Wolf]

Can't disagree at all.

I have 4 hour round trip to home games which I am more than happy to make.... so it's not just my ST cost but the sky-rocketing cost of petrol that is also a factor for me; as well as many others I suspect.

 

[Minimalist]

It would effectively be a price rise for about 20k season tickets.

I really don’t think they can put up memberships or match by match tickets else they will start to struggle to sell less desirable games (and I don’t just mean big 6, I mean night games and ones on telly).

 

[Corporate Wolf]

Again - I can't disagree with this as well. But the ST waiting list should not be used by the club to fleece the existing ST holders.

 

[Bawtry Wolf]

Will surely be a price freeze with renewals paying new price .

Wolves will be suffering the same inflationary pressures as the rest of us. I am sure they won’t put the price up as much as the gas and electricity bills but it will go up.

It’s the price of gas and electricity that may stop me renewing as it’s eye watering amounts and is likely to go up more. From April I’ll be paying at least double what I was paying 12 months ago.

I have more than double that now, but even flying return for £50, add train fares hotel costs and social costs and it becomes a luxury.

I would like to think from a business pov that they get more beneficial commercial rates on utilities.
If we put out tickets up by £50 on average that brings in what, £1m, £1.5m more?
Surely any commercial director worth his salt can bring that in in other ways.
I’d rather get emails about record labels and esports than see a price increase!!
I still maintain wv1 as it was could have been a standalone bar IF done correctly.

Commercial rates on utilities aren’t better, there’s no price cap for commercial gas and electric so they’re actually much more susceptible to increases than us as individuals are.

That’s not me defending them using it as a reason to up the prices, they shouldn’t, they should be able to bring that revenue in elsewhere.

Just saying that assuming they’re less affected by gas and electric price rises isn’t true.

 

[WickedWolfie]

I suspect that last season's new ST price will be the absolute minimum renewal price. I fear that it will be more. I expect new STs to be 5-10% dearer than renewals.

Thanks for the correction buddy, shows the danger of assumptions!

 

[Chris H]

No worries.

Unfortunately some small businesses are really going to struggle just as much, if not more than a lot of families to keep their heads above water with the cost of living rise.

If you’re a small business that sells non-essential items, not only are your costs rising but you’ll struggle to pass those on to individuals who are also struggling and will have less disposable income.

That shouldn’t apply to a business the size of Wolves, but you’d like to hope they won’t be tone deaf to the current situation when the prices come out.

Good point Chris. I would suggest a freeze across the board.

This is the real killer for me too. I usually come by train but so many night games now that will involve a hotel. Long distance fans really will have big decisions to make soon. But good news for locals as I expect many who do travel from afar will drop out. Was wondering what % of Wolves income is from STs?

 

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

The accounts proved yet again that extra money they will make from ticket sales is absolutely nothing and needless in the big picture.

It's downright greed and exploitation if they put the prices up.

Even a freeze makes it expensive, so we shouldn't really be too grateful for that, but let's hope that's all it is.

 

[IANWILSON]

Can see it going up to say £622 behind the goals. Random figure not that I'm in the know.

 

[Netherton Wolf]

I can see this to, sadly

 

[Abbobrom]

You can only stretch your income so far. I feel for those who travel distances by car at the moment, with petrol near to eight quid a gallon and diesel even closer. We haven't seen the top for gas and electricity prices either yet.

I can well see many dropping out of purchasing season tickets if there in is be a hike in prices.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

When will we hear something??

 

[Hixon Wolf]

When will we hear something??

I don't think we heard anything until early July last season, but that was due to the pandemic?

Previous years have been mid/late April.

I predict a 5% increase.

Behind goals / BW lower £576ish
SB upper / BW upper £675 / £722
BW upper center £769

Given that those are lower than last season's new ST prices l am highly sceptical although l hope to be pleasantly surprised.
