What i might be tempted to bring back though is the free ticket for the under 9s with a season ticket holder as with the family stand offer extended all around the ground (A good thing) then that stand looks pretty sparse game time.
It definitely got my kids going at the start as my daughter has been a holder since 5 and boy since 3 and they are now 13 and 11. They only support Cardiff as they go so often and not swayed by the Utd/Liverpool supporting mates.
I know some used to whinge about the kids not turning up at night games etc, but even if they attend 17 out of 24 matches it is still bums on seats and extra support and the quicker you get in the young fans then they are more likely to stay city fans just like mine have. Think it might be worth a go this season to see if it works.
The other thing would be to choose a couple of schools a week and give free tickets to them for upper stand. We did it in my school last year and kids loved it with many returning for the odd game. As long as you rotate the schools in catchment won't matter. Don't know why they haven't done this this season.

Fans want the club to spend money and lower ST prices? £300 is just over £13 a game. We have the 5th cheapest ST in the division for adults. If we cut that to £150, we have to sell double (which we won't) to break even, and then we won't get a walk up crowd, so we lose money and therefore find it even harder to find money.

You think the prices are fair because YOU can afford it, as it goes so can I but there is a bigger picture to look at here, If we went back up to the Premiership and the Club started charging £8-900 a season ticket and you couldn't afford it but plenty of others could and they turned round and said, tough shit, how would you feel?
South Wales is a poor area. Is it not better to make it affordable to the masses and get the place packed to the rafters following the Bradford/Huddersfield model than have it half full?

Also need to take into account that not everyone will be buying one season ticket. If I renew it will be four, 2 adults 2 juniors, and with another one of my grandchildren showing interest may even be more again.

Trust you Allan
Allan, I am on about scarfs,new kits,badges, souvenirs, programmes.
The kids are our future and get them down there, then the parents have to go.
We can't afford to not have the kids going, the more the merrier
Thats how I started,I got a free ticket in 1972 from the players visiting my school, following season I was a season ticket holder.
Oh by the way,we do get some money from the food a % once so much is sold

That's why asked question? But your right about merchandise but my concern is reducing ST prices to an extent that would be depremental to clubs income is not good. Even with better sales within outlets.

Allan, I don't think the Adult prices need reducing anymore and even £50 for Under 16's is excellent and £99 for Under 21s.
Personally I feel Cardiff City did not and do not promote those prices enough and they should be in everyones faces in South Wales.
This forum did its bit and put it out/tweeted it and had over 8,000 views for it at the time, City need to get their act together regarding promoting their prices
