"We hope that these amendments to the pricing of matchday tickets will help to encourage more of our supporters to return to St James Park and that those fans who have stayed away in recent months will start to return at this challenging time," read a club statement.
Aside from a small reduction in student/under-18 tickets for two parts of the ground the price cut mainly concerns the prices paid on matchday. These are now generally just £1 more than the advance ticket price whereas the difference before had been as much as £5.
Comments underneath various articles about the subject this week have been aimed mainly at the price of tickets (regardless of whether purchased in advance or on the day). Without wishing to get into that debate it is clear that, outside the Premier League people still want to decide on the day of a game whether they are going, for it to be relatively easy to buy a ticket and for that ticket to be comparable to the prices paid in advance.
That may be especially true in a city such as Exeter where there are a lot of supporters of other clubs and a big student population and where supply of tickets is greater than demand.
