Season Ticket................

[mattboyslim]

Sorry - too good an opportunity to resist - you never know you might have a few more votes, as a trust member I've casted my votes.

can you pay in installments?

can you pay in installments?

Yes you can, but it's a credit agreement and involves credit searches etc.

[Phil_S]

The board also get all the money up front. The finance company are effectively lending you the season ticket money, which you pay back as with any other personal loan agreement

[Samdy Gray]

And the interest is circa 15% as well.

[pauld]

IIRC its 19.9% APR - I can get better than that on my credit card.

I'm waiting until the last week of May, probably even the 31st, until I make my mind up.

If there's no action on the boycott or takeover front by then, then I'm afraid I'll be renewing because the financial implications for me are just too great.

Likewise. I sincerely hope that if it does get to the situation where negotiations aren't significantly further along by the end of the month, then the Trust will act swiftly in preparing a simple and straightforward way for us to put aside our season ticket money and signify our intent.

[Phil_S]

I think the we will need a lead from the TRUST at least a week before hand.  The AGM on the 15th would appear to be ideally timed for such discussions.
Of course we could at any time be told that the NDA has been signed, but that could've happened at anytime in the last few weeks/months

There are alot of town fans that don't actually have a clue whats going on behind closed doors, that a trust exists, have the internet/registered to a forum or know why they should consider holding out on buying season tickets as they are only interested in the football. I was one of these fans til recently and without a little education from friends and the TEF I would've gone ahead and renewed my season ticket without a second thought. I've been told there are around 3 to 3 and a half thousand season ticket holders with the club all with mind at renewing before 31st May i'm guessing. So is anything being done to contact these ticket holders from the trust/consortium side to anyones knowledge? I'm very in the dark when it comes to these matters.

[ronnie21]

They are pushing renewals again today on the official site, is that a sign things have not gone too well for the board?

[sonic youth]

erm, or perhaps just promoting the season tickets now the season is over?

[Fred Elliot]

Its cashflow innit

No more gate receipts to swell the coffers so get in as much as possible early doors and then try and budget accordingly for the Summer

[Simon Pieman]

IIRC its 19.9% APR - I can get better than that on my credit card.

Barclaycard do a 0% interest on season tickets card. Or at least they used to.

[blinkpip]

can you pay in installments?

I just downloaded a form of the OS, to pay by installments and there wasn't no section on it to fill in, they missed half of form out.
Also it say's pay in ten monthly installments, wasn't it six last season?

[Phil_S]

Don't do it !!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry to keep banging on about it, but I can see this lot puitting the season ticket money where they have already put the £3,000,000 plus of extra income that they have received in the last 14 months.

I implore everybody to hold off buying anything from STFC until at least the last week in May.  (I will wait til the board ship out, because I want MY season ticket money to go into the club.. preferably the playing budget!)
