A rumour circulating the stadium on Saturday is that next season's prices on the £800 ones are going to rise to £1200 ! I think the first season's "freeze" at the previous season's price was the "bait" to ensure that everyone
re-newed, before hitting them with the price rise. 50% is a hell of a chunk if this rumour does bear fruit. I re-call when they jumped £120, which equated to about a 30% rise at the time, but 50% is mind-blowing, as well as budget blowing! As they say, "Watch this space"!

With the Club announcing a loss of £6.2m (approx $11m) up to November 2006 this might be the reason.
However Chelsea announced losses of £80m, and they have frozen their season ticket prices for next year.
Bolton have actually announced they itend to lower theirs next season due to "customer affordability".

I don't think they'll raise prices next season, at least i hope not. The new TV contract should be more than enough to cover the shortfall in revenue.
