Rovers Want More For Season Tickets

In a shock announcement today, Bristol Rovers have increased the cost of their season tickets to the 2007 – 2008 prices.

Fans were left reeling after reading the article on the Official Website. Many fans had thought that the price would remain the same after the statement released by the club informing fans they would not be playing at Cheltenham Town this season.

It was even hoped by many, that Bristol Rovers would actually reduce tickets costs to improve ticket sales after other clubs adopted this method.

It is now suspected that the gate sales will remain low for the season causing more financial difficulties to the club, some even think we will have a record low after the redevelopment fell through and followers of the Gas lost faith in the club.

Current Season Ticket holders will not be affected by this, as they purchased their tickets early they will remain at the subsidised price and will be refunded their £46 travel.

Bristol Rovers have started transferring the tickets to the Memorial Stadium and tickets will be back on sale on Monday at 9am from Pirate Leisure or the Supporters Club.

Personally I feel that the club would benefit from offering reduced price season tickets as a way to improve relations with fans and increase sales…… I don’t think they are listening to me though.
