The Trust is disappointed to learn that the club has decided to increase the price of season tickets by 10% for the 2023/24 season. This increase is unwelcome at a time when many fans will be experiencing increased financial pressures in other areas of their lives, and unjustified given the club's increasing revenue streams, coupled with poor results on the pitch.

The club has raised season ticket prices by more than 20% over the past two seasons, and while we acknowledge and appreciate the club's substantial first team investment and a need to address higher operating costs and inflation, this price increase is a significant one for supporters. We do applaud the fact that junior season tickets remain among the cheapest in the Premier League and hope that this continues beyond next season.

We note that the club has announced that supporters can claim a rebate of the 10% increase if the team gets relegated. We question why the club cannot put this money back into fans' pockets now when they need it the most. Additionally, we would like clarification on whether this rebate will be issued as club credit or a cash refund. 

We believe that an increase in ticket pricing is the type of issue that should be discussed with and inputted on by fans before any final decision is taken. We are always open to working with the club to collate members feedback to help inform future decisions.
