Price hike: Niall Quinn
That is more than any other club but Quinn claims most rises will be around eight per cent and that a seven-year freeze had to be lifted.
Quinn said: "Out of 30,000 season ticket holders, the majority of them, about 27,000, are in again at the £410 price. We're still the fourth or fifth lowest in the Premier League."
