Stanley have gone from the cheapest match day tickets to one of the most expensive especially since there is no discount for buying in advance. Of the League two clubs with terrace most are £15 or £16 if bought in advance. Of those with seats only Shrewsbury are dearer at £23 unless you have a membership card and then it is £20. Portsmouth don't have the prices up yet that I can see so they may be more but given the huge level of season tickets they have sold it may not be.

These are based on the cheapest ticket's available for an adult and usually include discount for advance purchase.

The value of a season ticket at Stanley is such that if you are going to most games it is a must but the game by game goers may be affected especially away fans in bad weather who may well give it a miss. this could also affect non stanley fans looking for a game to go to. It may have been better to consider advance discounts but these come with a cost.

It is pointless arguing that the gates are always diehards as it is plain to see this is not the case and ways to attract other people should be considered or what is the point of playing on a friday.

As stated on the other thread, this has affected the amount of games I will go to and not because I feel any less about Stanley or as a huff against the increase but because of basic economics. My pay seems to be the only thing not increasing by more than 1%.

I had already decided to go to more away games as some are easier to get to -Carlisle for example or suit me visiting family - Cambridge, Luton and Stevenage and after checking the prices it isn't as bad as I thought for tickets there.
