Almost certainly will be an increase in price so probably allowing a few more days of enjoyment before the inevitable complaints about the costs.

Yeah, I’m thinking it’s going to be at least £400 for the early bird. Suspect we’ll hear next week at the latest.

Don't think anyone would be surprised at a small increase, seeing as we are now an EFL club.....what will be the price of our success then...?

The club need to be careful as our season tickets are already quite expensive. Anything touching £400 or higher will be one of the most expensive season tickets in the entire division in a working class area as energy bills and inflation rockets upwards.
We're getting 9k people through the gates, lets capitalise on that first before increases on a season ticket you only get 2 games free with.

Will be looking to renew regardless but I hope we keep it below £400 - I still think we need to capitalise on the feel good atm and try to price as low as possible to increase take up in ST's. I'm sure, although costs inevitably go up, so too does funding (wasn't it mentioned in an interview with JK there is a windfall of up to £1m between League 2 and the National league) as well as sponsorship opportunities etc. With catering in house surely higher attendances due to lower admission prices will cover it?
Had a quick google at random teams and here are some prices:
Hartlepool £340 Barrow £307 (average) Rochdale £243 (average) Walsall £333 (average) Leyton Orient £299 (average)
Personally, I expect an increase but hope it's not too much. Maybe £350-£375 Renewal/Early Bird would be fair?

We're getting 9k people through the gates, lets capitalise on that first before increases on a season ticket you only get 2 games free with. Agreed. I can see the adult ticket price going up to £20 - the club have signalled that it's considering an increase after being frozen for a few years and now is a ''good'' time with promotion - but 2 games discount for a ST is pitiful. It's actually been part of the reasoning why I've not got a ST in the past thinking I'll miss the odd game for work or other commitments so it isn't a saving for me. Keeping the ST price the same - £380 - with a 4-game discount would be better value for money and probably attract those that have been on the fence recently (and possibly bring in more money in the longrun). It also rewards the loyal fans and hopefully helps us build / consolidate our larger gates. Edit - If that's ''too much'' then an early bird price of £375 with that 4 game discount and full price of £399 (3 game discount) with £20 for adult tickets?

Yeah, I’m thinking it’s going to be at least £400 for the early bird. Suspect we’ll hear next week at the latest. £400 would be an 12.5% increase, so anything higher and they're probably pushing it a little.

We need to offer a payment scheme / direct debit to make this more attractive.
Nowadays with things like gocardless it is easy to manage and link STs to deny access for nonpayment so there is no risk on the club. This would increase the uptake immediately, as it spreads the one off hit for people and families who will be buying more than one ST.

Extra home game next season and if match day tickets go up to £20 it’s three free games. I wouldn’t want to see it any more expensive than that though. Bills are going up for County and everyone wants a more sustainable club, so we have a part to play.

Freeze renewals at the same price. £400 for all new season ticket holders, do away with any 'early bird offer' other than the renewal window for existing season ticket holders but offer a direct debit / monthly instalment payment scheme.
New price category introduced for young adults (rather than just students) and/or reduced prices for people currently out of work.
Adult tickets bumped up to £20. A proper loyalty scheme introduced next season for away games or at the very least a new ticketing system/provider.
