Title: Season tickets
Post by: tans on Monday, February 19, 2018, 10:37:24
Prices out now. Will probably renew, have changed my job and its shift working, still works out better for me

Ten day early bird window starting immediately feels... harsh. Is there some immediate need for cash we need to be worried about?


Title: Re: Season tickets
Post by: tans on Monday, February 19, 2018, 10:51:46
I think it was the same last year? Or did they extend it?


Title: Re: Season tickets
Post by: Batch on Monday, February 19, 2018, 11:06:44
The early bird pricing is good, for me. £430 for 3 of us.

yeah the window is short.

have I missed the phase 2 pricing though?


Title: Re: Season tickets
Post by: Power to people on Monday, February 19, 2018, 12:53:08
That is a very short window, it is usually a month I think, the only thing I can can find is if you renew by Feb 28 then you get 50 more points, sort of suggests renewal prices will stay the way, needs clarification though for those that have not got the money straight away and may want a little longer than 10 days to find it.

Its almost been released very quietly rather with the big fanfare as usual, thought they may do a renew now and if we go up we will refund for e.g. £25 to try and entice a stay aways back.

"Early Bird Savings of at least £25 off 2017/18 prices in the ten-day window ONLY"

implies tickets will go up in 10 days time. To what though, we don't know. Not like they haven't extended these deadlines in the past either, no guarantees I suppose.

-Note also that the admin fee on the 10 month finance may work out more expensive than last season if you are northbound of £400 (or less if not).  Don't see a 9 month option this year.

Same price really, just renewed mine and was charge a £25 admin cost for doing the 10 month option. Don't think we were charge a admin fee last year. So £375 for a instalment plan (side stands) robbing bastards. :)


Title: Re: Season tickets

Given the price for an adult season ticket last year were £25 more than this early bird offer and the fact it refers to £25 off in this window, I reckon it indicates a price freeze.


Title: Season tickets
Post by: Batch on Monday, February 19, 2018, 13:41:10
yes I suppose it does on an adult ticket.

but I'm after a family pack adult + u18 which is £60 cheaper than last in the window... but after??!

maybe that's it, it just reverts to this year's prices for all tickets. But it's not clear.


Title: Re: Season tickets
Post by: Batch on Monday, February 19, 2018, 17:40:00
I take that back (the point about credit being similar cost to last year). My payments were £46 x 10, and ST + U18 was £460.

There must have been a free credit "window" then on the 10 months agreement.


Title: Re: Season tickets
Post by: AldbourneRed on Monday, February 19, 2018, 19:26:33
There's much more info in the PDF linked to from the official site regarding later phase prices than there is on the site itself.
E.g. Phase 2 adult renewals at £370/£330 and Phase 3 at £380/£340.
Phase 2 being March and Phase 3 1st April onwards.

Title: Re: Season tickets

There was at first. And then there wasn't for a couple of years. And now there is again. Work out if it's cheaper than paying off your credit card and pick your options accordingly.

Am I being irrational in finding the very shortened early bird window and lack of clarity over how much it will go up if I miss it, both annoying on a personal level and slightly worrying on a "smacks of a business with a cashflow crisis" level?


Title: Season tickets

Title: Re: Season tickets
Post by: pauld on Tuesday, February 20, 2018, 08:29:48
Ah cheers, and I see from that the "admin fee" is actually 6.8% rather than a fixed 25 quid. So looking a lot like not very interest free after all, just grabbing it via a different route


Title: Season tickets
Post by: Batch on Tuesday, February 20, 2018, 09:19:14
Indeed, if you are buying an adult ticket on finance, you save just over £1 over last year's interest free/no fee offer.

if you are a family buying 2 adult 2 u18 on finance you are 40 worse off over the interest free/no fee offer.

obviously the second window last year had an admin fee of £28, so things aren't as bad if you compete it to that.

it's swings and roundabouts. thankfully I have the cash this year so I'll save 60

It is a very tight window, which as you suggest may be cash needed quickly knowing they are likely to get a fir bit of money, why else only give 10 days to renew, again lack of communication and clairty to deafening.
The club seems to have a chief exec that nobody hears from and an owner that only speaks to the radio.

What do you want clarifying? What lacks clarity? The season ticket offer is pretty damn clear, including phase 2 pricing no?

I don't think the P2 stuff was on the original pdf, but they rectified it pretty quickly.

Not disagreeing with the feelings re short window. Was more wondering where an accusation of lack of clarity is coming from.

Also, re the short window, it is a bit annoying, but the credit option sort of covers that off in my book, if I was to get one.

Peterborough have just started selling theirs for next season.

The headline in the local paper was effectively “Season ticket sales up 400%” which I thought was a bit odd, unless they had slashed prices.

Reading the story and it was stating they had sold about 150 on the first day compared to less than 40 last year.

It made me think what the adver headline would be, probably something like “Town season ticket sales less than 200”

I will not be suprised one bit if the phase one window gets extended. They’ve shown a bit of leeway in the past when they’ve cocked up season tickets (£20 club vouchers this year for example)

I willl also be unsurprised if an extension of the phase one deadline is met with negativity by aspects of our fanbase

Last season there was an interest free/admin fee free period. This then went to a flat £28 once that expired.

This time its a 6.8% admin fee.

Also, anyone know if you have to get a new card if you change category (i.e. from U21 to Adult)

I'm looking forward to listening to Power when he tries to spin the massive drop in ST numbers for next season. He's due on the radio about now for his annual pre-season rimming by Hodgetts, so make sure you all tune in.

We have a threadbare squad, no marquee signings and fuck-all to look forward to next season apart from more spin, promises, bullshit and bollocks.

Good luck to you poor saps who can't break the habit, but for the first time around 20 seasons I wont be there. Just not feeling it anymore (words that I never thought I say, let alone act upon) and I refuse to further line the pockets of a paranoid, uneducated, cockney idiot.

McCormick's arrival put the tin hat on it for me. I appreciate everyone has a view on it, but whichever way you cut it, the cunt killed 2 kids whilst being shit-faced behind the wheel of a car. He chose to drive while pissed and ended up killing someones kids as a direct cause of his actions.

I don't give a fuck about his remorse, his excuses or whatever he may have done since. Why the fuck would our club court that kind of needless, destructive controversy here?

Simple answer; It's not our club, and it won't be again unless the trust or a wealthy(ish) consortium - or a combination of the two - kick the fuckwitt out and re-engage with fans.

When that happens, or at least when he's gone for good, I'll be back.

Good luck next season.

TBH, I’m not ‘feeling it’ either and haven’t since after the play offs. My attendance has dropped season on season, BUT for some illogical reason I always think things will pick up, we’ll stumble upon a couple of corkers.

I’m a bit concerned that we seem to be heading down the dreaded talented youngsters on loan road again, but the experienced shit Flitcroft signed last pre season was nothing to write home about.

I’m pinning my hopes on those coming in will be better than those heading out - not hard in most cases - and that Brown can’t be as big a prick as Flitcroft. Surely this young black fella can score more than the 5 goals from open play that Norris managed and McGlashan just can’t be worse than McDermott.

If he can also extract a tune from Anderson and Woolery we’ll be fine. Vigs back in goal has got to be a huge bonus, too.

Title: Re: Season tickets
Post by: BambooToTheFuture on Tuesday, July 10, 2018, 13:59:08
It is much like the "we want our club back" dross that the facebook groups come out with

Indeed.

I'm all for a "TRUST owned" style club, via fan ownership+consortium if done right. A lot of clubs aren't though and are just owned by one or a small team of say up to five wealthy people. This is what people then need to accept;

Yes it's "your club" in your heart and mind and you pay "your money" to go and watch them. However, we're simply paying for a service, a pastime of entertainment. We can go to the theatre or the cinema and even be annual members. We can go sometimes and say "that was great" or "that was a shit play". We can go to a weekly comedy club or gig scene and have the same feeling "she was great", "he was shit", "they were awesome". The principle in heart and mind is the same, as a member of a local theatre I often think "they put on some great acts and I feel like I'm part of it".

We may well go to football matches, comedy clubs, theatres, etc and we would support any action for them to remain but we do not own it. When people harp on about "this is my club, I want it back", sorry it isn't happening because you have never and likely will never "own" it. Unless you come into a substantial amount of money. Even then, the current owner would not necessarily be inclined to sell. In any case, even if one of us did "own" it, there would still be thousands of global Town fans that didn't.

Until some realise this, they'll continue to be angry for a long long time.


Title: Re: Season tickets
Post by: Batch on Tuesday, July 10, 2018, 13:59:55
The way I see it is this:

We've already offered reasonable players a contract, they've declined (Preston, etc)
We've offloaded Mullins and Norris.
We've brought in options that I'm guessing aren't the same cost as the above.

I know we need to reduce the bill, but I reckon there is a bit in the kitty yet.

I do, however, remain a bit disappointment we don't have them in already.

Throw in the walking wounded and suspended and as things stand we're significantly weaker...... assuming Matty Taylor is playing LB, then we've got Chris Robertson and Joe Romanski in middle of defence with Knoyle at RB.  A kid in midfield with a handful of games alondgside a fella who's played 1 league game for Carlisle.... up front another kid on loan alongside Keshi and Twine.

Even with that I don't see it as being THAT weak, we still have 3 weeks left to sign extra players, probably 3 more long term loans still as well as possible permanent signings, whereas that team from last season was the team we had mid season not the team we had 2 weeks before season kick off.

JM does have some lower league experience...PB knows him; he's started 22 games in the last 2 season but comes off the bench a lot, he'll probably be OK.  Alzate is a kid, so unfair to expect too much from him and Smith has played 1 league game 2 years ago, so very much a punt.

I don't think there are, especially concerning the squad. Does anyone really believe that there won't be more signings before the start of the season?

Throw in the walking wounded and suspended and as things stand we're significantly weaker...... assuming Matty Taylor is playing LB, then we've got Chris Robertson and Joe Romanski in middle of defence with Knoyle at RB.  A kid in midfield with a handful of games alondgside a fella who's played 1 league game for Carlisle.... up front another kid on loan alongside Keshi and Twine.
There may be a point regarding the injured (especially Lancashire) and inexperienced but you can't use a three match suspension to support a claim that we've got a significantly weaker squad than this stage last season.

We could do with hitting the ground running.... suspensions are unfortunate, but last season we were top after 3 games, although not hugely indicative, in our condition we don't need the mood to turn hostile, so a decent start would help....

Post by: johnritsons toupe on Tuesday, July 10, 2018, 22:29:58
Indeed.

I'm all for a "TRUST owned" style club, via fan ownership+consortium if done right. A lot of clubs aren't though and are just owned by one or a small team of say up to five wealthy people. This is what people then need to accept;

Yes it's "your club" in your heart and mind and you pay "your money" to go and watch them. However, we're simply paying for a service, a pastime of entertainment. We can go to the theatre or the cinema and even be annual members. We can go sometimes and say "that was great" or "that was a shit play". We can go to a weekly comedy club or gig scene and have the same feeling "she was great", "he was shit", "they were awesome". The principle in heart and mind is the same, as a member of a local theatre I often think "they put on some great acts and I feel like I'm part of it".

We may well go to football matches, comedy clubs, theatres, etc and we would support any action for them to remain but we do not own it. When people harp on about "this is my club, I want it back", sorry it isn't happening because you have never and likely will never "own" it. Unless you come into a substantial amount of money. Even then, the current owner would not necessarily be inclined to sell. In any case, even if one of us did "own" it, there would still be thousands of global Town fans that didn't.

Until some realise this, they'll continue to be angry for a long long time.

You've typed out a counter-argument quite well there Bamboo, but I'm not taking lectures from you on the psychological theory of why or how humans support sporting (or other) entities.

My beef isn't with Power on a personal level as I don't know him personally, rather, it's the way he runs the club and his generally arrogant, cocky 'fuck em' attitude.

He's steadily disenfranchised fans pretty much from day one, but has always stuck to the maxim that the club needs to stand alone financially.

The irony of that little paradox seems lost on him and some others, so I'll spell it out; If you piss off enough fans / customers / subscribers / season ticket holders / whatever, you eventually lose their general goodwill, their patronage and their support, and of course their money, which impacts the bottom line of the business.

How arrogant or fucking stupid have you got to be not to do anything detrimental that then impacts upon the profitability of the business that you actually own?

My comment about the Trust buying the ground isn't because I necessarily support trust ownership of the business (though I suspect that they'd do a far more transparent and open job than Power and his henchman currently do) but more to hasten his exit when the anticipated cash-cow of a CG sale inevitably vanishes into the relative safety of trust ownership.

I'm fucking boring myself now.

Look, lets not fall out over this. I'm Town' and always have been, as you are yourself.

I think Power is a cunt, a useless businessman and is completely wrong for the club. That said, unless he fucks off and someone with serious money comes in, or one of us wins the lottery, he's unlikely to be ousted anytime soon.

In the face of that reality, I'm not going to do it any more, but I completely respect that others don't agree with me or are not at the same stage of disgruntlement that I've reached.

I won't stop giving my support to the team and will do more away games this season, so I'm not 100% out.

Here's to a great season on the pitch. Genuinely, enjoy it guys  :pint:

Just a heads up, if anyone collected up any loyalty cash back over the past year or two, then it's all been wiped. Previous seasons you could use what you built up against next season shirt etc.
Now they wipe it at the end of the season kind off shit unless your buying a reduce shirt in April.

Need to do something for longer term fans of season tickets such as have when you started being a season ticket holder and maybe a little pack with some STFC stuff in when get your season ticket or something other than just the card...just feels like youve payed few £100 and they dont give a fuck like hear you go...

Like ive been a season ticket holder since 2011/12 but theres nothing there from the club to show that so basically its complete new each season should get bit more

also think your season ticket card should have a little bit saying 'Holder Since and the year you got your season ticket'

Season ticket holder numbers are still at historical highs I think, Fitton changed the goalposts.  I might b e wrong but I think we had sub 4k in 92/32.

I know the numbers went up significantly when Fitton & Co dropped the prices. I know that's when we bought season tickets again because the discount meant you only needed to go to about half of the games to cover the cost.

Even then, we didn't make the 6,000 they were aiming for and the numbers have been dropping back ever since, probably getting back to close to the numbers pre offer.

In the late 80s, pre Macari we were sometimes getting crowds of less than 3,500 so you would assume that the ST numbers then were even lower. Although we do know how dodgy the crowd numbers being released were then :)

Under Macari in our Championship winning season we had about 900 season ticket holders, I know this as I was working at the club then and working on them all being computerised, I am pretty sure almost every one with in the Noth Stand that season too.

That seems a bit bizarre.... unless SBC have condemned part of the stand, but you'd think in that case it would be the whole stand.  I suppose given the low crowds < 6000 Town fans on Sat, Power may want to squeeze people in to a smaller space to save on stewards.

Just a bit of information that may be of use, re 'in my friends network, can't buy their ST but have bought them tickets in the past' scenario.

Its GDPR related . If you haven't already, log in and :
    select 'my network' under the account dropdown
    select (or add) friend, "edit"
    select the "manage tickets" radio button and "send request"

The friend has to log in and "accept request" in the same section. They will be emailed to do so.

Oooh, that doesn't look good, nor the similar stories on lots of other club sites (Celtic, Wycombe, Villa, Leyton Orient etc). If they go titsup.com do season ticket holders get stitched up (because we paid money into a credit scheme that's gone shitside but we still have to pay for the product) or do the club get stiffed (because they sold us the product and the people who are supposed to hand over the money we have paid have gone belly)?

Based on the website text people who had used it won't be affected. if they keep their word

Assurances from companies about to go titsup quite often turn out not to be worth a whole lot, sadly. And even if fans don't get stitched, the club may still do if they don't get the money passed on. Either way, it won't help with that last push to sell season tickets over the weekend and with that promo thing they're doing on Sunday

The issue is they use Raphaels bank for funding and Raphaels is going tits up and no longer providing credit. I'm sure Zebra will source different funding from elsewhere, this is probably just a short term issue.

Watching this story nervously, already paid 2 installments on our tickets, would rather not pay again!

I got an email from Zebra last night telling me that as I had already been accepted and started making payments that my season ticket was safe, they cited difficulties between Raphael Bank (their financiers) and the Bank Of England for the reason that they are no longer allowed to issue loans.

Anyone know if we're getting new season ticket cards this season? Or just keeping the ones from last season?

A new one, according to the confirmation email anyway.

Was told in shop end of last season it will be new cards due to the sponsor name on the cards

ha. think I was drunk when I wrote that.

mind you, the youngest seems to have a taste for beer/cider.

and the answer was.. any sign of said ST info on the card.

no biggie, will check with club. had me panicking I'd forgot to renew his ST though.
