FC Winterthur, the favorite of all football romantics, was relegated from the Super League after four years. However, the club's pricing policy for the new season in the Challenge League is causing a stir. The club justifies this with high demand and increased costs. Additional benefits, such as a pre-sale right, incur additional fees in some cases. Many fans are reacting angrily on social media. They criticize the high prices despite less attractive opponents and question the fan-friendliness of the measures. In terms of sport, FC Winterthur was unable to convince in the past season. Only five league wins in 38 games with 100 goals conceded were achieved by the Eulachstädter. However, in the sympathy table, Winti is at the top for many football romantics. But many FCW fans are unhappy with the published ticket information for the upcoming season in the Challenge League and are complaining about the club's pricing policy on social media. The demand for season tickets at the Schützenwiese will be 'high' despite the relegation, the club writes. 'A part of the prices for single tickets and season tickets will remain the same due to high demand and increased costs,' it says. The adjustments are being criticized on Facebook and Instagram. Here are some examples: 'Still 430 francs for a season ticket in sector C, even though we're playing in the Challenge League? I find that absolutely exaggerated! 290 francs for the beer curve are okay, but this is disappointing. Really a shame.' 'This already has a certain flavor ... same price as in the Super League, but no pre-sale right?! Despite that, I will renew and I'm also an 8400 member, but somehow it feels like a rip-off and if it's not about promotion, I'll have to reconsider the whole thing for the next season. The net in C will probably also be gone ...' 'Is this pricing policy going to work? I would have to pay more than this season. The limit is unfortunately exceeded.' 'No reduction in prices ... sorry, that's not possible ... instead of FCB, YB, FCZ etc., now Kriens, Ouchy, Yverdon etc. ... at the same price ... the high demand will probably be over soon ...' 'Is Marchesano that expensive?' 'Unchanged season ticket prices, even though you get to see teams like Stade Nyon or Rapperswil instead of FCB, YB or FCZ – a somewhat strange interpretation.' 'Challenge League instead of Super League, same season ticket prices, and you have to pay an additional 84 francs for the pre-sale right. That's a creative interpretation of fan loyalty.'
