This is absolutely bonkers!!

There was no need to ditch the U16 pricing at £8 entry.
If that remained then we would have had a genuine discount in place with the anouncement.

As it stands we have £1 discount on an Adult ticket, a £1 discount on Under 18s ticket and a £7 rise on Under12 tickets.......WOW!

There is no way the average fan will make any sense of that, and we move even further away from attracting new fans and families.

Promoting the under12 season ticket requires the adult to buy one too, and that may be a push for many as we head towards xmas.

Very disappointing.

I really appreciate what the club are doing with many things including putting a good squad together, but if there is nobody there to enjoy it, whats the point?

It's a £7 rise for every youngster under 16. They say contact the club re pro rata tickets, very clear. By the way, I thought "two tier pricing" meant different prices for different opposition. This is two categories. Maybe I'm wrong.

Remember an U12 season ticket is free, although I can't remember if that was with an adult season ticket or not.

Yes, it's only free with an adult ticket. Do they allow kids under 12 to be admitted without an adult? Some clubs don't. If you're 13-15, a ST costs £65. But if you just want to go now and then it's suddenly gone from £8 to £15. And Serif obviously had big away supports in mind when he decided on the prices this season, how is this going to encourage more away supporters? Parent and young teenager was already very high, it is now just a nonsense for this level.

I don't disagree, personally I think they would have been better leaving it alone than dropping it by a quid.

When we finally had a chance for some positive PR for a change!! A chance to build a bit of something good between fans and club. If anything we’ve made things worse with this announcement.

I just want a decent club where things are done correctly: strips out on time( and decent quality),respectable Season Ticket/ PATG prices and a club where support is acknowledged and catered for over things such as a decent Club Shop.

Is this too much to ask for?

This mob have already ruined our 150th Anniversary( where art thou Glamour Friendly?) and now with winter approaching, they are going in even more cack- handed with these revised prices which will scare away the decent amount of youngsters who have been attending this season.

Our anniversary was the licence to print money in my eyes. Such an open goal for merchandise and events yet our board have done absolutely nothing. Its unforgivable the lack of respect they’ve shown to the fans and our history.

Twitter exchange with a parent who shelled out £70 early on for their nine year olds season ticket, before the board had a re-think and made them free. The website statement said anyone who had purchased one should contact the club, surely implying a refund. They contacted the club by letter and have heard nothing.

They shouldn't need to but for £70 I would be following up with a phone call and/or asking at the office on match days.

Agree 100%

This season of all seasons was the time to have strips, scarves, flags, hats, mugs and anything and everything else with the club badge and 150th anniversary on it. Once in a lifetime occasion with the club yet to do anything of significance to acknowledge it.

What the actual fook.

What muppet is advising the club on these things, its an absolute PR disaster, though I cannot think why surprises anyone.

Seriously there are kids under 12 teams who are more organsied this this rabble

Think that would be the self proclaimed DOF. He spouts, honesty, integrity and trust which none apply to him, a fantasist would be a better title for him. Not a very liked man in the football industry, a wonder why!!

Kids and pensioners prices now reduced to £10. Prices to be kept under constant revision.

If they'd just said at the start, it's £24, £15 & £9 there would have been a few moans but we'd have got on with it and wouldn't have stood out as being by far the dearest in the division. Instead it's been change after change and another shambles to add to the list.

I didn't actually realise that it was £10 for ALL concessions. So pensioners and those aged 17-18 will save six quid. A pity the youngest are having to find another two quid but Accies are never going to get everything right. Credit though for listening.

If I understand these latest changes in Accies "fluid pricing", is it the case that Pensioners who paid for a Season Ticket before the start of the season, will now actually be paying more than they would have needed to pay, had they not just paid £10 at the gate for every game? Think the Senior Ticket was £230, for 18 home games. £10 x 18 = £180 Is that not 28% more, or have I got this all wrong?

I never thought of that! It was £235 for OAPs, which worked out at £13.05 a game but now it's just £10. I wonder if any annoyed pensioners could contact the club to get some sort of refund or sweetener. They really have messed this up
