Just got an email. Price freeze for next season if bought before 28th Feb.

fucking hell, that's a stupidly small window. cash flow issues ;)

Interest fee instalment plan, £34.50 a month for 10 months. Works out cheap for League One and even better should we get promotion.

Good pricing but that's a very short window. A little part of me wonders if this a ploy to get some cash flow as we've got a big gap with no home games.

Very good price that, especially if Town go up. Good on them.

U11s free and 17-18 year olds now getting YA prices too, which I think is one extra yer? Either way, that's good news.

Would be interesting to know what the phase two prices are going to be though, are they released yet?

Do they let you upgrade tickets? So if I had a kids season ticket, could I pay to turn it into an adult ticket for a game?

under 11s not under 10s. if so fucking happy..

edit: Yup, leaflet says 10 or under on 1/8/15/ . My lad is 11 on 10/8/15. Yeeeeeeees!!!! Luckily got the money, and also its only £20 extra until end march. Happy days!

I'll get one on payday.

Its effectively a price increase for me as I got one this season when they were giving an extra 10% off so I paid £337 this season - £375 next season.
Its fantastic value if we go up. Not so sure if we remain in Div 3 but then I have issues with our general pricing structure anyway.
I'll renew anyway but my decision would be made easier if they would only put a roof on the bloody Bank.

Bloody hell.  I had to pay for Josh this season as he turned 11 in November, so we won't benefit from the extra year this time either.

Absolute bargain and competitive prices irrespective what league we are in.
Will be renewing mine and my lads.

Shame the new prices are higher than renewals for phase 1. I'll probably get one for next season.

I'm so excited I have sold my children to arab slave traders to get mine

Is that the name for somebody that supports both Bristol teams then?

it is 10%  more expensive than last year .. just saying...

seriously delighted though, the age change more than covers that for me..

our lad is 11 in March so the same for us.

There's every possibility we could be a Championship team next season, and for that reason I'll definatley be renewing.

Some fucker told me 60 was the age for a fogey concession - it's fucking 65.

I'll be a dribbling wreck by then

It was 60
Changed couple of seasons ago IIRC
Remember a couple of blokes at work ranting about it

I still got 20 years until then. How many more promotions, relegations, administrations, takeovers and embargoes can we manage in those years?

11

Changed this season....a very poor decisioin, which just has the effect of driving people away.

Last season was 65, but 60 for renewal purposes - so I guess it half changed last year.

It's always been a bit of an odd one. Seems to vary from club to club. 65 makes more sense given that this is considered pensionable age and people are likely to still be working between 60 and 65 anyway. Appreciate that the change effects will be a bit annoyed but I highly doubt it would stop many attending.

65 is only state pension age for approx another 3 years, when it starts to rachet up.  Many people, for example women retire at 60 and live on a modest state pension....if they've been budgeting for a concessionary price, it's likely they'll be driven away....might only be relatively small numbers, but our crowds are low for a reason, and decisions which needlessly put impediments in the way of attendance don't help.

Yeah, it's the fucking Tories fault, obviously...

in Reg's world everything is the Tories fault. Even Saint Blair creaming in millions is too, the nasty champagne socialist.

Don't think Reg mentioned the Tories in his post? Just because the Tories, all Tories, are selfish cunts who are the biggest load of self servers going, doesn't mean everything is their fault.

We had better weather under Tony.

Do I really need to get moaned at again for shifting boring, off-topic political shite to another thread?

This shit would never have happened if Nick Clegg had a backbone

I agree with Nick.

Renewed today. That's three at least ⚽️⚽️⚽️

I will renew if I can get the 10 month thing.

I'm a pensioner, I can't get my concession for 10 years now!
whingee whinge mcwhinge

Just renewed my three...... Loyal Supporters.
Roof or no roof, Championship or Div 1.
Bloody expensive mind you as just purchased 4 tickets for Scunthorpe.

Just renewed, selected instalment plan, all is good.

Only got 2/6 (that's two shillings and six old pence for you whippersnappers) for the children  >:(

Bloody oil price

So I went for the installment plan instead

You mean you aren't already?

Wreck - possibly

Dribbling - only when asleep

I'm sure you'll be pleased to know I've renewed mine yesterday.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!

Delighted to know that.

[I renewed Monday - hope you're happy for me too. I was given a new card there and then, which was a surprise.]

Just realised the price freeze for Phase 1 ends today.

I've logged into my account and clicked Buy Now against Season Tickets, but it's not giving me the option to do anything.

Unless I'm being completely dim, it looks like they've already taken away the ability to renew online at that price.  Surely the cut-off should have been midnight?

Pretty sure club tweeted earlier that phase 1 has been extended till 9am Monday for online renewals. If that helps.

BREAKING: 2015/16 Season Ticket Phase One extended until 9am on Monday 2nd March. Online only http://www.eticketing.co.uk/swindontown  

Thanks both, but I've logged into my account and have no ability to select anything.  Can anyone that's renewed help?

All I see is:

                                                                                                                            Open to
Sky Bet Football League 2015/16                                                                            GS (General Sale)
County Ground

Afraid I can't help, did mine in the shop.

Do you see your "my season tickets" when you first log in? There is a "find/renew season ticket" link on mine, in orange, right underneath. When I click that it takes me to my seat info, but normally where "add to basket" is, it says "current" which I assume means "already bought"

You aren't stupid so I assume its not there for you..

Wait, did it again, got to the screen you said this time, but there was a "manage my tickets" thing that I clicked on. Then it appeared.

First time it went straight to it.

In any case if that isn't there, maybe its not working and the club haven't sorted the extended deadline out. Try again in the morning?

Clicking My Season Tickets ( as Batch says ) takes me to whats posted above
Tho I have a Find Tickets link in orange to take me further which appears is missing from above

I dont have/not renewed a ticket tho  :no:

Thanks Batch.  I've found the Manage My Tickets bit, but when I click on it I get an option for Car Parking or the original wording that I posted above.  It's like I'm logging in as a new customer.

I've got a horrible feeling my online account is somehow not linked to my season ticket.

I think I renewed last year in the shop.

I've found another option under login to activate account and am wondering whether I need to do this.  It's asking for a client reference no?  Would that be my season ticket no?

I'm so annoyed I could have gone into the shop at any point and just lost track of time.

That was the problem.  My account wasn't properly activated.  I've just done it and now my season ticket info has appeared.  My son's has not!!

I renewed Friday evening. £375 to potentially watch Championship football, no brainier really.

I'm going to help the club more by renewing in phase 2

Sssshhhh don't tell Reg, he'll either implode or explode, you're tttttttoooooooooo optimistic.

True fan!

Do you get more or fewer loyalty points for doing that? I want to know if I'm a better fan than you.

Renewed mine on the 10th month installment plan - great option to do as couldn't afford to shell out all at once.

Being lazy, anyone know when they start taking the money and on what day/date of the month? (Thanks)

Don't know the date but the first instalment is due in March!

Mine is tomorrow

Same

I'm not renewing for next year due to baby so the guy that sits next to us who is now a friend wants to move up one and take my seat so he can sit with my husband/dad/godfather. Apparently I need to write to the club to give my permission to free my seat?? Do you think they will accept an email?
Not really up to date with written correspondence at the mo!!!  :(

You mean your not introducing baby to the delights of STFC at such a young age, what the problem you women like to mutitask  :)

Deliverance!

This is the advantage of my husband not following Swindon, he gets left with the baby!  Hope all is going well?

I imagine inflicting the misery of supporting STFC  onto a baby at that age may lead to social services being involved. I have decided to keep that pain from my little girl until she is at least 3

My baby already has a signed framed Swindon shirt in his nursery, various stfc baby grows and of course a rocking Robin money box! I think that will be enough for now!

I can understand the shirt and babygrows but a Rocking Robin money box means social services must be informed, nobody should be subjected to Rocking Robin memorabilia!

Maybe she's using it as a place to store dirty nappies?

Now that is mitigation!

Didn't want to start another thread about prices etc....

Just had a look on the Bradford forum and they have sold 15,000 season tickets so far.

I know they do it regularly but thier offers are fantastic in comparison to most clubs, ours incuded.

£149 for a full adult season ticket anywhere in the ground works out at £6.47p a game thats fucking incredible.

Better to have sell 15,000 at under half price than 4k-5k at slightly more than double that price.

(http://www.bradfordcityfc.co.uk/cms_images/bcafc00002-web-screen.jpg-season-tickets-43256-2466948.jpg)

I am sure that if we offered a similar offer would probably get 10k+ season tickets compared to the 4k we will likely get this year.

If Swindon Town did an offer like this, I'd be a ST holder.

The End.

 :)

Esp when you consider their walk up price is £25
You would be a fool not to buy an ST there even if you only attend 6 games a season you have saved.
£6.47 a game  :eek:

Me too. Even if you can't make every game, it's a no brainer.

Unless it's at Wembley you don't make any fucking games.

We got the better deal there :)

You mean when we had a similar offer in fittons first season and couldn't even break 6k?

And you're always the one to point that out. We can't all be superfans. I have my own reasons.

I was merely suggesting that if we had such a deal on season tickets then maybe it would encourage some one like me to attend a bit more. I don't see an issue with that but obviously you do.

IIRC though it worked out about £11 a game under Fitton...this offer is not much more than half of that and the walk up price then was £18 a game not the £25 that it is now.

Also...we had Malpas in charge back then.....

http://www.footballforums.net/showthread.php/165950-Swindon-join-the-cheap-Season-ticket-bandwagon

£229 a ticket, still £70 more than Bradford are charging now.

I don't think being £70 cheaper would mean we'd sell an additional 4,000 compared to 2008

No, but that in comparison with playing good football might do.

There were times under Malpas that if the season ticket was free it may not have temped some fans.

No it wouldn't. Fittons deal came after years of shit management and the club re-engaging with the community. There was a buzz around the club and we managed about 5.5k. It's been pretty comprehensively proven that the floating public don't particularly care about the style of football - that's for us regulars to discuss about. 'Floating' fans are attracted by success, not style, and 6k is pretty much our ceiling for this level

Not aiming this at anyone in particular but I always feel that those that don't go to games will have their reasons, and in most cases it's not the cost of a season ticket.

£150 would still get you into 6 games at a full price match day at today's ticket prices, but most of the stay aways still wouldn't go.

In my experience if the reason people give for not going was resolved they would simply find another one.

Happy to help...

You mean, happy to play the "I'm a better fan than you" card. Again.

C'mon chaps.

Good biting

I'm hurt & upset that Sam feels I'm trying to somehow score points off him, when all I was really doing was helping him with some basic division.

I won't bother next time....

Agree entirely.
