Season Tickets 2009/2010

I get the feeling that some on here would moan about the price of a balti pie potentially going up to compensate for the shortfall if it were to happen anyway. :icon_wink

Have people been moaning about the price of the season tickets? I must have missed it.

Perhaps you should read what has been written instead of trying to read into it.

It was specifically announced as such.

Yes, but what governments say and what governments do are very different things. I recommend judging them on the latter.

And some people will accept any old spin as the truth.

A little bit on the touchy side there. Only a joke - See winky icon thing. Perhaps you thought it was aimed at you? Perhaps you should see it as the joke it was intended instead of trying to read into it.

Not touchy at all. It couldn't have been aimed at me; I've never touched a Balti Pie in my life.

Peter.

Whilst as a current season ticket holder I am pleased at the announcement of the price "freeze" for next season I can't help but feel agrieved about two things. First the extremely early renewal deadline. In the current climate where people are trying to budget, expecting them to commit to a new season ticket direct debit a month after last season's has finished it asking quite a lot.

Secondly I am curious as to how the ticket price can be billed as a price "freeze" with the current reduction in VAT. I understand the reasons behind not carrying this decrease onto current tickets and prices for administration reasons, but surely by keeping the price the same as last season you are in fact raising the base cost of the season ticket by 2.5% or so, and can't really bill it as a freeze?

I look forward to your response.

Thank you.



I am sorry that you are not in full agreement with the season ticket proposals. The consultation with supporters has helped the club formulate the complete package and the 12 month direct debit scheme will no doubt be popular.



The financial pressures on individuals is accepted and hopefully by not reducing the price of the ticket and allowing the cost to be spread it will help.



Thank you for your continued support.



Your comments will be passed on.



Regards

He seems to be saying the 12-month finance scheme is being financed by not reducing the price is season tickets. I would have thought that the people who want a year's tick should be paying for it themselves.

No doubt they will be. The club charges £4 (I think) per month administration fee for DD customers. I pay for 2 tickets via 1 DD but still get charged two admin fees!

It would be cheaper over 12 months to pay for a season ticket with an ordinary credit card than to pay £48 in DD fees to the club. Jeff told us last year of a credit card that does not charge interest on season ticket purhases - hopefully if it is still around, he will remind us about it.

Supporters over the age of 22 who wish to take advantage of the Under 22 price rate are required to provide a letter of clarification to state that they are in full-time education from their course tutor

Methinks our club might commence next season with the highest number of "students" within our fan base of any other club in the country.....

I pity you in the queue at the kiosks at half time when they are all ordering for and paying for one drink at once

So are they only doing a 12 month DD scheme?? Or can we have it over 4/5 or 6 months and more like last season?
Cos tbh I want to get it paid off by the time the season kicks off, I don't want to paying for my season ticket after Christmas.

If it's the same as last year you can choose the months.

It was the Barclays football credit card, it's still available.

You can choose any number of months up to 12. The 'service charge' is £4 per month.

Do you think it is a typo and he meant "increasing".
