I am sure you do, but you also seemed to be speaking for others.
If someone had been paying £30 every game they went to for a few seasons and then 1 year it went up to £35 I don't think that is making it unaffordable it's £5 the price of a pint.
If £35 was too dear then there are tickets still available at £30 in different parts of the stands or ground.

Re: Club shop and ticket office closed
I took my car for a mini valet this morning, 2 months ago it cost £15, today it was £20. I had the car done because i know they do a good job and deem £20 fair value for the outcome received. With regards to football, you don't know what you're going to get until you've paid your money and the game has taken place, unfortunately on too many occasions I walk off the turf thinking I wouldn't have paid £10 to watch the dross we frequently serve up, and here lies the problem, people in general will be happy to pay increased ticket prices in exchange for a more entertaining product/better players. As it stands we haven't increased the quality of the playing staff, and I'll see on Saturday whether we take on a more entertaining style of football, but even if it's $hite on Saturday, I only paid £10 so can't grumble.
BIG gamble here by Mr Pace, if the playing squad improves on the back of ticket increases, nobody can complain, you get what you pay for, but if the quality doesn't increase along with the prices, there will be way too many empty seats to have made the increases financially viable.

Dressing a mannequin in the kit, popping up some new visuals in the store and logging the stock / barcodes shouldn’t result in the closure of the store.
Most work could be done behind the scenes and the ‘front of house’ stuff done between closing the previous day and opening the next.
It’s perhaps not a huge deal, but it’s not exactly professional. There’s a long way to go for us in a number of off the field areas.

Re: Club shop and ticket office closed
Along with others, I cannot for the life of me think why they have to shut the shop
in order to launch a new kit.
Will they be fighting people off with big sticks in their vain attempt to be the first
to sport the new look around Burnley ?
I can't see Marks and Sparks closing down to stock the new winter clobber.

Why complain about ticket prices if you have a season ticket .If you don't want to pay the prices don't go.The club won't lose any sleep and won't give a **** as long as someone is sitting in the seat,whether they've been a fan for 40 years or its there first game.Its a business.

Re: Club shop and ticket office closed
The big games will sell out due to the amount of plastics/tourists that will attend. For a dreary Monday night TV game against someone like Watford we'll be looking at about 15 thousand on this year.

Most certainly. I can honestly say the match day routine and supporting Burnley for me hasn’t really changed much in the last 30 odd years apart from the division we are in. Maybe being a consumer for a product passed me by but sure I’m in the minority.claretonthecoast1882 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 05, 2021 5:01 pmyou have to buy something to be a customer.

Re: Club shop and ticket office closed
I'm also curious as to how/why the Club Shop needs to close to prepare for the kit launch.
Have any other Premier League Clubs needed to close their stores to prepare for the new kit launch - are we unique in this or is it common practice?
It's not a good look. Some might say it's good planning - as someone who worked in retail for some time I'd say it looks the exact opposite of that.

The argument they may have is that apart from bringing the new stock in and merchandising it, is other than the souvenirs and club produced leisure wear they have nothing else would be for sale. All last season’s kit and training wear has been taken off sale, with a lot being sold off to https://www.classicfootballshirts.co.uk ... rand=Umbro so therefore possibly wouldn’t sell to much over the course of two days anyway.

His actual comment was champagne tastes on beer money. I get your point and I am also a Bob Lord ST holder, however not a tight wad. Problem is we certainly won’t be offering champagne football after these walk up price increases. More like more of the same dirge we have been serving up for the past two seasons. Perhaps if these American venture capitalists, or should I say short term chancers had provided adequate funds to strengthen our ageing, no strength in depth first team squad then the price increases would be more palatable?AlargeClaret wrote: ↑Thu Aug 05, 2021 6:25 pmThese tight wadded Bob Lord curmudgeons are the type that shop around for the cheapest pint and drive extra miles to save pennies on fuel .

It’s about keeping the club afloat and viable in a preposterously and ludicrous wage market that is the premier league . It’s also about what people will pay for “ a couple of hours of “ high end “ entertainment be it a concert/ theatre /show /meal /sports events/massage parlour etc A £400?+ early bird was amazing value .
Worth noting that the entertainment we.may yet be served will maybe be akin to an old handcart burger …but hey it’s the Premier League

Re: Club shop and ticket office closed
Newcastle, i have done the same and not renewed after 30 years because we are underdogs in every game we play both home and away. Yes we may surprise now and again but the continued lack of investment in the playing staff is embarrassing and they still want the same money off us. Be interested what they do if/when we get relegated.
Re: Club shop and ticket office closed
I think this thread just goes to show it not just the club that has a "small club mentality" The champagne stage on lemonade money has run out, and now you must pay the average for the league we are in, which I dont see an issue with. What happened to all those wanting to "eat at the top table" ? I presume you want to eat at the top table with Parkview chippy prices? Seriously come-on guys this was inevitable, and I really do understand this may price quite a lot out of a season ticket or attending, but then the bigger question returns to the floor in a different guise, would you prefer championship football on the money we were paying, or Premiere league football on the average cost for Premiere league football?

It's easier to stomach paying more if you know the money's going to improve the squad. If it's just going towards servicing the debt our new owners have lumbered us with it leaves a bit of a sour taste.
