Well for what its worth I feel that on the down side its a shame that the unresrved to reserved passes have gone up by ten pounds but thats understandable to a certain extent when you consider getting some parity with the rest of the reserved seats in the East. However I think the family enclosure is a step forward as is for the first time the ability to book on line using your customer number.
I guess, although I am no expert on these things, when the 6th Jan comes and VAT goes up the club will have to then pay an additional 2.5% on their income from their sale of individual match day tickets. I think its still expensive for say a young family to go to seperate games but the passes are exceptionally good value for money when you look at the facilities at the KC and compare these prices with last seasons and pass prices at other clubs.
All in all I think its a fair increase, and less than a lot anticipated, and setting asside the unreserved East standers who I have already mentioned, pretty fair, but no doubt some will pick holes in it.
The issue of course is the general financial situation that 'Joe Public' finds himself in, in these times of financial hardship there will be a resisitance to buy, and ticket sales will go down, they will I believe, at most clubs with the exception of the Wigan (Wave of euphoria) and Bradford (One last throw of the dice) schemes, but I don't think that these increases will be instrumental in causing people to stop buying season tickets, that will I think be down to a lesser extent to our style of play, and our 'Salary Capped' inability to pull off signing of the magnitude of last season, and to a greater extent to the national economic climate.
Just my initial thoughts of course.
