I was thinking I might get one but is it possible to do so online?

I dont really like interacting with human beings :x .I had a look at the form and it seems there could be provision for this but I cant see anywhere to do it.

Yeovil,

I think you can do it online, but not until the middle of June-ish as it won't be ready for that option before then.

(to make you feel less uncomfortable, this is an automated response)

Do it by post Yeovil. If you spend an extra £1.50, you don't even have to collect them, therefore avoiding another meeting of real people :wink:

cool I'll wait till June then.

maybe i'll wait till weve sold 5999 and become a folk hero 8)

I'm not booking until tickets are under £7.00 a game. FUCKING MALPAS  :evil:   :wink:

I STILL can't decide where to bloody sit!

On your bum. Always the best option

You sure about that paul :wink:

Have they sent out renewal notices in the post yet? With my house still a total building site from last years floods it might have got lost in all the building debris...

No, or at least I don't have one. But you can download and print the relevant forms from the official website.

I don't think they are sending them out this year. Something about saving some trees.

Not to mention the money they'd save from a large mail out!

Not sending them out - download the PDF from the OS: brochure and renewal form links at the bottom of this page:

STFC would probably perfer if it was on a seat as they don't encourange you to sit on the ground

I wonder how many they have sold today. People were queing at 9 am this morning even though they didnt go on sale till 10. Do these people think they would sell out or something? :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:



I also think we should have a counter showing ST sales on the website, in a church roof fund style :mrgreen:

Probably the retired folk of Swindon wanting to be first in the queue

I suspect we will probably see a weekly update, although it may not help as you may get people watching the figure's sold to only get one at the cheap price and not wanting to get one at the slighlty higher price so if they don't know the figures it sort of forces their hand to take a chance and get one.

everyone who sits in the same row as me is a season ticket holder - Including the old man on the end of our row - He knows John from the ticket office and he always asks after him as his health is not the best and he has bad ankles and is not very good on his feet bless him.
Towards the end of the season the old man moved down to the disabled area and I was told that for health and saftey reasons they would prefer him to sit down there perminatley as they prefer to have able bodied people at the end of a row where possible in case of emergency evacuations or something

ANYWAY my boyfriend wants to get a ST this year and instead of sitting in front it would be nice for us all to sit in the same row - I need to find out whether the old man is moving or not - is it rude to ask the ticket office?

if you dont ask you wont find out.nothing wrong by asking

I dont want to feel like we are jumping in his grave - They will hold his seat for him anyway I would have thought

If he gets a disabled season ticket will they stop holding his seat up in the stand?

not his grave because he is alive.and if he gets moved he wont need his old seat.
dont worry and just ask

What Arriba said. I'ts perfectly understandable

No it's not, it's disgusting.

This forum has gone to the dogs since the season ended.

I am the first person to say this yes?

Yes and you are also the first person to answer his own post

well done :D

Oh I've done that loads of times before, don't worry

No thanks to the likes of you.

for those of you doing the clubs marketing around your office trying to get people to sign up... just to put these prices into context... a season ticket at Airdrie United next season is £225! :shock:

Well I've done my bit. My uncle and six of his mates are getting season tickets and so might my grandma's partner.

You've only been in that row for one season, so would it be a major drag to just move to another row?

no we have been in this row for two season actually!  :P

we dont want to move if we can help it - we like the row and all the other people that sit there - they share there sweets!

I'd share my sweets!

come on over then! I bet you wouldnt kick my flask over and break it either - although he did apologise to me at every game after that bless him t'was only an accident

500 renewals in 3 days isn't bad at all!  Bodes well for general sale next week!

It's bloody fantastic! Put it this way, if we keep this rate up, we'll have done a third of last year's total sales by Monday!

EDIT: And yes I know the next 3000 "new ones" will be a lot harder than the 3000 renewals, but still credit where it's due.

Will be 501 by tomorrow, haven't renewed mine yet 'cos I still can't decide where to sit, stay in TE or move to Don Rogers

Went up the pun last night and was surprised to hear of 10 people, non season ticket holders currently, telling me that next week they're going down to get their season tickets at the CG!  Excellent news.

Out with neville presumably?

And it hasn't even been pay day for most people yet!  :D

Ha ha good one, who though of putting the n next to the b eh?

Get Inn !

there,s lots of non season ticket holders that are waiting for their chance to lay seige to the ticket office-the club should advertise the investment in red seats in the arkells that swung it for me.

Finally decided. Don Rogers for a year to see how it goes. So there's another one today.

Wonder if they'll let me transfer me back to the TE mid season if the DR turns out to be crap?

heard a rumour the away fans may be put in the town end and the new seats put back in the arkells.

i dont think that will ever happen tbh.

they have been there before , if the box,s get put an the bank it may well happen.we need over 1000 town end season ticket holders.

I wonder if they have thought about selling tickets on a direct debit basis? Such as £20 a month, perhaps we could sell even more doing it that way?

My Mate enquired about this and was told No

Thought it was strange as a few more would probably be sold that way

Thats what i thought, i mean they could stick a little charge extra on top for the privelige but it saves having to fork out 100 quid or so at a time.

To be honest if you cant muster £230 over the course of the close season, (payable in 2 installments!)  then you are clearly too poor to be getting a season ticket

Im not talking about myself, however there are probably some people in that boat that would still want to go, if you know what i mean

Not really colin I have 3-4 mates who have a holiday to pay for and then have to obviously save spending money etc along with other commitments it could prove costly.

Would that be compatible with the club potentially raising the price if 6,000 aren't sold?

Also, the club is guaranteed its money if you pay up front...or in two installments. If people's bank accounts are closed would that mean they'd be able to get to all the remaining games without paying further installments?

These are genuine questions rather than a counter argument - I'm no expert so I'm not sure exactly if/how direct debits work in such a situation!

Surely the club would have a record of payment, if you miss a payment you cant use the ticket until the debt is recovered? Or something along those lines maybe.

i disagree.a direct debit monthly payment would attract a few more imo,and alot would find that easier.

i dont think they will get anywhere near 6000 myself

How many were sold last year?

DD monthly payments create a considerable admin overhead/potential debt collection problem which is why in the past it was always farmed out and essentially it became a private finance deal - ie you bought your season ticket, the credit company fronted the dosh for you, then you had a private loan (at pretty uncompetitive rates) deal between you and the finance company. Which meant you paid more and the club lost out as it had to shell out for service fees to the loan co for every ticket sold

Cheers Pauld

I thought that.

Just pretend the season hasn't finished & put the £20 a fortnight into a savings account. After 14 weeks which is about August the first you would have £140 FOR THE FIRST INSTALLMENT. Then a further 12 weeks later you have the second installment.
I don't see a DD as being much better than that.

That’s great Phil but its not pretend

I'm not aloud to open a saving account because I'm a terrorist.

Correct in theory, but how would you operate that at the turnstiles ? - Chaos would ensue

The whole point of the reduced prices is the early receipt of cash. If you then spread the reduced price over the season it's the same as a match day arrangement, and the club loses out.

There would be lots of time spent on working out how to beat the system.

If memory serves me around 3,300

Yep, was something along those lines
