Football tickets - Excessive disabled price rise.

Not sure who to ask for advice about this, but my football team has put up season ticket prices , which isn't unusual, but it's by considerably more for disabled fans than for other fans. We are talking a difference of 30% for regular fans to 45% for disabled fans. I have tried to contact them and am just fobbed off. I know I could just not go, but it's one of the few areas of enjoyment I really have. Any ideas from anyone how I could take this further?

Hi @FourNs.
It's a bit ridiculous, but I suppose you could kick up a fuss on social media and a bit of naming and shaming might prompt someone to look at it.
Perhaps you could make a poll here to find out if anyone else has had a similar experience? Let me know if you need any help at all.

Hi @FourNs
This really does annoy me, to be honest. Mu club has a really good association called Spirit of Shankly who has managed to keep ticket prices in check for all supporters.
I would advise contacting your Disabled Supporters Association and making some noise about it on social media. It's amazing what some bad PR achieves.
I wish you well.

Welcome to the community @FourNs I am sorry to hear this, that's a big increase. I really hope it get resolved soon, as it is not fair to all the disabled fans. Please keep us updated.
