The worst thing is those very same fans they are pricing out of their seats are the ones who have been with them through thick and thin and all the lowest moments over the last 15 or more years. Guess who they will be looking at to bankroll the club again if they get relegated and in trouble again once all the fair weather fans have gone? Sad to see this.

@chaz_ashley162 you work for Daniel Levy huh .the added competition should reduce prices . Football is an inflated market at the top . The inflated market and popularism means the clubs charge excessive prices . Just like the wages are too high. In Germany the clubs and fans work together to some extent . In the EPL all the fans are treated as customers , not fans .

[@paultew5321]

All these price increases is great for lower league football! I'm a Liverpool fan but grew up going to watch Rushden and Diamonds until they folded. For me now as an adult with two kids to go watch Liverpool it is roughly £500 a match! Me and my two kids now go watch Peterborough every chance we get and it's only £35! Great atmosphere and fantastic style of football!!!

I'm an Everton fan. I'm in Devon I used to go to watch Exeter and Torquay united. I'm unable to go to goodison due to health. It's also expensive for me to get there and not being able to get ticket

[@shadowcatstories]

I'm not a season card holder. I'm a member. The club are getting so arrogant when it comes to the fans and the fact tickets don't make general sale. As a member this season I've had to pay £98.50 for the privilege of buying match tickets which went up by an extortionate amount! I'm aware there are thousands that want to get into the city ground but seriously forest sort out this mess!

[@susanna3375]

I'm in the same boat. Our family of four went from silver membership (£100 for all of us) to pro (£380 for all of us) before we bought a single ticket. Our tickets cost £110+ for the four of us per match. If we went to every home we would be forking out over £2K to sit in the PT: two adults, one child, one teen.

[@DnBisMassive]

Nothing like ticket price increases, to get your fans on your side, during a relegation scrap. The owner has had a bloody stinker!

[@Matthew-bu7fg]

I know the owner "signs off" on everything but likely this was a CEO decision and even more likely it was the owner's son that signed off on it seeing as he has spent more time with Nottingham Forest over the last few years

[@paulcope834]

It's spoons they're no longer offering him a 2 for one deal and he needs his sustenance.

[@benfotheringham3540]

I’m on the waiting list, I paid £10 to the club- now the pricing has been announced, I wouldn’t be able to afford the season ticket so essentially my £10 can be seen as a donation to Nottingham Forest as that’s all it will be. I suspect the long waiting list has a few people like me in it.

[@scotthands4396]

To be honest if everyone renews then the 11,000 who paid a tenner won't get a look in

[@Matthew-bu7fg]

I'm a Forest fan and the problem is that the premier league is an unsustainable league to be a part of unless you're at a headstart and the constantly changing rules don't make things easier. Certain teams have huge reaches and have double our stadium capacity. We just can't compete unless we make these drastic changes but these changes price fans out the game. It's a huge Catch 22. The alternative to this is we keep things affordable and we'll go down in the next 2 or 3 years anyway if we don't go down this season. I feel even more sorry for fans of town clubs. Burnley, Bournemouth and Luton are the only town clubs in the league this season I believe? Two of them are favourites to go down. City clubs are about to be promoted and I wouldn't be surprised if, in the next five years, it's a constant 20 city teams in the premier league because town clubs just do not have the financial reach to survive. And before someone uses Brighton as a counter point, Brighton are the exception, not the rule. They have been run superbly and we all wish we had that. But we don't.

[@Philpot1992]

Judging by the comments, not many kids are growing up going to football anymore or they wouldnt be calling it a luxury. We will get to a point where the fans arent actually fans and just hospitality seats.

[@pulleyfm8585]

Look at the London clubs fan demographics then compare that to who's buying the tickets to go to the matches.

[@Wearecustardcreams]

Another reason why the EFL is better than the Premier League, ive been saying for years PL is business focused, EFL leagues feel how football use to be

I feel for Forest fans. I dont like the term legacy fans but we are being priced out by our clubs. I am a Spurs fan and its almost impossible to get a ticket direct from the Spur eticketing site as Tourists are buying them up to stand there with cat ears and cheer on one player while wetting their knickers. Sure these "player" tourist bring in reveneue but it stops fans of the game from going

[@WillScarleto]

A modest sponsorship deal last season would have raised twice as much as this. With that money they could have frozen ticket prices and reestablished the wavering unity we had across the whole club last season. Ownership is again making poor choices in trying to establish ourselves as a Premiership club.

[@bartley7953]

Legacy fans have been priced out of Chelsea since they turned the top tier of the west stand to semi corporate , there is literally no point in being a Chelsea member if you are not prepared to pay £100-£200 a ticket . Its no coincidence Stamford Bridge has one of the worst atmospheres in the premier league .

Premier league clubs are horrendously greedy , pricing local fans out for the sake of 3m extra revenue! We paid origi around 5m this year !!

[@rubiroo9394]

At 18 you are an adult! Forest season ticket prices are still one of the lowest average ticket prices in the premier league. They have an 11000 people waiting list, they will still sellout all season tickets if people pay it or not.

[@lewothecool]

I love how it's being mentioned about FFP or Premier league prices bringing in line, prices increasing etc. Its so ridiculous and shameful how people that are also fans saying stop moaning. The money prem/champ teams get from ticket sales is minimal on there income especially on effect of FFP so that's no excuse. For premier league football well for as bad on the pitch Stoke are, off the pitch 17 years the price has been frozen on tickets, 10 of those years were premier league football with sell outs and the club didn't raise the price at all. 7 of those years we've had free away travel. My ticket has been £400 for my brother £75. Literally no reason the prices need raising more then that you'll just start pricing people out of football

[@leebo1969aldershot]

I've had a season ticket since 89 and 2 season tickets since 96 . So I've spent a fortune over the years but always thought our prices were reasonable . Until now . Trouble is I can't give up my tickets ffs . Not good .

Just all get together. Fans of all clubs and boycott matches, refuse to buy merchandise and season tickets. The message will get across eventually even to these idiots. As in Germany. Meanwhile players continue to earn obscene wages while those on the minimum wage at clubs still cannot get a living wage.

[@freddiefreeman4119]

Very unhappy about that 25% and I’m on a pension! However, I’m far more unhappy about the three penalties we didn’t get against Everton. What’s really annoying about these increases is that it will hurt me more than it will help Forest. I suppose I’m a disposable fan now, having been a supporter since ‘67 through the glory days down to the third tier and back. We as pensioners are being attacked in order to replace us with young fans. They can’t even wait until we ****** die

[@Oltheboll]

The prices are obscene for a club of our Calibre

[@markjeffries8150]

What i've heard is that the club is using Brentford as an example for everything like this. Apparently over the season they make about double us through matchday takings and the higher ups at Forest can't figure out why. London prices would be my guess, when you can charge £70 a ticket and £12 a pint you'll make more it's common sense. Thing is people earn more down London and can pay it, wages in the Midlands aren't at the same level so you have to charge what you're supporter base can afford. Club is all about money now

[@dlbia9569]

3 Andy's having a chat 😂😂😂

[@samtaylor2631]

I think it’s important to point out that there should be balance here. I don’t think that it’s unreasonable to increase the price however, the amount in one go is ridiculous. As much as the fans want the best for the club , but we never asked the owners to go bonkers with the transfers, which he chose. The management also chose to breach not the fans. And unfortunately this increase is irrational much like our ownership. I’m on the waiting list and I won’t pay that massive increase. If Marinakas isn’t careful there may well be a them and us mentality and that would be a problem not only for him.

[@jamessmith7459]

This problem has even happen at my club and i wont pay just anything they ask their has to be a cutting off point its just pure greed and clubs expect your fans to pay for it

[@rdewsbury777]

People seem to believe they're entitled to everything. That taking their kids to games is a right not a luxury. Well, the business is also entitled to charge what they want. People can choose whether they buy tickets or not.

[@John...44...]

If clubs like forest need to have a certain revenue and spend a certain amount to cover FFP, why dont they stop paying players 120k a week instead of making the fans pay obscene amounts to support their club that they have always have.

[@chrismeakin7830]

My ticket has gone up over £100 for next year. I understand the prices have to go up, but I also know this will probably be a continuation, year on year. My 50yrs following my beloved Reds will then come to an end. If you’re not single, family has to come into the equation when expenditure becomes too much. Fans who do leave, will never return. They need to think very hard, before alienating their true fanbase!
