Ed, with the economic effects of the the virus obvious, do you think the club will increase the prices of tickets and hospitality even further? I occasionally use hospitality but in recent seasons the cost has been a disgrace for a ticket. What are your thoughts?

{Ed001's Note - they have been looking to do that anyway, it was only opposition from fans that stopped them. I am sure they will use any excuse that comes along.}

Media reports everywhere saying there will be a 1 Billion loss (does it matter in which currency; it's a hell of a lot) for EPL teams for this season due to the the virus. Being profit-making businesses they will try all the means possible to recover the losses. Increases in prices across various categories, renegotiation of existing contracts (if possible) and running after lucrative "tours" (post Corona) are the type of things I foresee happening. No Chairman or owner likes red numbers and financial credit facilities are a 24 hour cost that's constantly ticking, even while we sleep.

I agree Sos the hopitality prices were out or order. Several £100's per single ticket. The yearly membership should guarantee you being allowed to purchase a couple of tickets.

Yeah they were. A season ticket, being loaded or just lucky to pick up the odd ticket someone can't get to is the only ways these days. Hospitality is ridiculous these days.
