They seem to have pretty much a stadium wide price which makes them expensive at entry level behind the goals but are cheaper down the sides of the pitch.

He's not immune to criticism because of what he did nearly 40 years ago. Some of the criticism is ridiculous, and personal, but he's made plenty of mistakes over the years and will continue to do so.
Are we better with him than without him, in my opinion 100% yes, but that doesn't mean that he is immune to any criticism and in this case even ignoring the price rise, the short window to pay, lack of interest free credit options and tone deaf email mean he needs to hold his hands up.
18-20 isn't there as a separate category in your image but the one above has them at £240.50 so could be that they have grouped them.
They also don't have 5-6 thousand empty seats
They are pretty much at capacity weekly. So supply and demand and all that
This is true. But we have played poor football this season and the cost of a new applicant is £570
True. I’m just saying there isn’t always a direct correlation between pricing and attendance, as it’s not a consistent product.
Reducing / increasing the price by £100 doesn’t automatically mean we’ll sell x thousand more / less tickets.
I remember some matches under Strachan where we could have sold tickets for a quid and we’d still only get 15,000 there. I couldn’t give my season ticket away for matches I couldn’t make.

On top of everything else going up not everyone can justify paying the rise.

Absolutely spot on, people always find the money.
The poor old Teesside argument is a load of rubbish in my opinion.
Yes well a one in ten year event and a chance at winning the teams second major honour in their history will likely encourage people to make a bigger sacrifice than watching Boro play Rotherham at the Riverside on a Tueadsy night
Oh here he is

That's a silly argument to make. People find the money because it's a special occassion. You don't know what people may be giving up to make that game. They choose to give up things for that. Some people have to weigh up what sacrifices they need to make to pay for a season ticket and at that cost it's often not worth it for people on a lower income. A one off special moment that you might remember for the rest of your life is a different thing. I hate how so many people because they are more comfortable look down on other people choosing which events they can and cannot afford.

Agreed. I think it’s a horrible thing to start judging what people do with their money and saying “well you’d find it for this”.
That's because you're a really silly sausage.

Beer and food and it would be close to half a season ticket price, but they’d all have paid it
