Still no word on our matchday ticket prices (or for that matter, anything about memberships or the like) - but that's for another post.
However, I did notice other clubs are starting to release their prices, and noticed Rovers have done so.
As many clubs do these days, they’ve categorised games according to perceived popularity. No surprise, we’re Cat A.
What did surprise me was firstly some of the classifications (Ipswich and Sheff Wed are Cat B, for example) and secondly the massive disparity in pricing between the categories (we’re not talking a couple of quid here).
Looks like they are charging us a whopping £25 to stand on that awful terrace with the awful view. And, brace yourselves, £30 for the privilege of a seat in the marquee behind the goal.
Granted, we’re used to paying maybe £24-26 - but that’s usually for something better than that dump and usually still well shy of £30. Say what you want about the K*ssam but at least away fans get a decent view of the playing action for (last season, at least) £24.
Frustratingly, the same terrace and seats at Rovers will only cost Cambridge fans (who, by the way, should be insulted at being Cat C with the likes of Fleetwood and Morecambe) just £10 and £15 respectively. So we’re paying at least double.
I’m not usually put off by a couple of quid here or there, but this seems to me to be up there with the worst value available at this level (I can’t actually decide which is worse – the terrace at £25 or the seats at £30)!

I do wonder, as an aside, if we’ll be upping our matchday prices?
I did notice that the Jack FM offer that was posted on here last week suggested that SSL tickets at £13 was ‘Half Price’ – suggesting a normal ticket is £26.
The SSL has historically been the same price as the North Stand – so perhaps our SSL/North Stand prices will be £26 (up from £24) this season? Wonder if increases will also apply elsewhere? Obviously with the caveat that this is just Jack FM saying this!
Regardless, whatever happened to “£20’s plenty” for away fans? Wonder if we’ll see a decline in crowds across the Leagues this season if this is the way things are going...
