Really they have given you 2 months to find the money, just you get £30 off if you renew next month.
If you're not fussed about losing your current seat you have 3 months.
Oh ok, I thought it went up more than that after March, so not as bad as I thought then.

It's still a lot more than we're used to finding so it's going to be difficult for most I should think.
I'll probably be renewing in April anyway.

I doubt if I will be able to find the money in March, I would obviously rather not pay an extra £30, but it looks like I might have to.
I see matchday prices are staying the same as well.

Im hoping i get a bonus from work next month to cover my renewal. Shame the prices have gone up but as others have said its not a huge shock given the club have to cover the cost of this season etc.
The deadline is a bit crap though i have to say. I think the club will end up extending it to end of April as i cant see many renewing in the next month especially with Wembley around the corner.

I go with two boys to each game and a mate goes with his lad. Both of us have kids leaving the under 10's go free next season, which is a bit of a double whammy. Going to ask if they will let us get a "Family 3" ticket i.e. 2 adults and 3 juniors as a renewal - this would save us £120 over the families.

I do hope NW or JW read these forums, they'd be foolish if not. I have given some thought to the ST and JP ticket situation this morning and have decided that whilst I have my JP tickets booked and will renew my ST, I WILL NOT book another cup ticket that the club could sell me, but choose to use an outside agency.
We have had the best part of four weeks to sell those tickets and the club could have made a better effort to do so themselves IMHO. It's not as if they did not have a warning that we could get to the final is it?
The finals will all be on TV and I know I'm spiting my face by cutting off my nose but I refuse to be rogered by ticket agencies after watching that programe in mid week.
I support the club and board 100% generally. Time to support myself.

One thing I've not seen mentioned regarding differences in benefits is the priority bookings for season ticket holders. Any ST who has had a ST since 2009 will be "Gold" (top priority), and all other STs "Silver" and anyone else "shitty brown" (I made the last bit up).
The only issues we have had this season are Oxford and Wimbledon tickets, can't see next year being an issue in league 1. --- Was amused to see "free entry to the legends" as a benefit. As if they would charge for entrance to the legends lounge anyway. That would be retarded.

Also I see that even if you were to 'renew' in May 2012 you would still have lost your seat which goes on general sale after 30th April 2012.
Didn't think I would be such a whinge bag but that's a bit shit.
But nothing has changed. It's the same every season.

You have to have a home ticket to gain access so, indirectly, you do have to pay to gain entry...

Beers cheaper in the Merlin anyway and they have real ale on draught too. Besides I would not miss going into the legends if they made it policy to pay, save me the best part of £20 based on yesterdays out goings.

Showing your ticket is just a way of crowd control/segregation. What I mean is it isn't really a season ticket benefit, its a home fan benefit.

Ah, I thought the point you were making was that you lose your seat in May.

The club has stitched up its fans by getting to Wembley.

Well, they hardly stitched us up. Maybe let us down, as it's only a £3 odd admin charge each for 11 £46 tickets.
