Looks like the prices for next season are being announced on Wed

hope they've found a finance partner or lengthen the early bird window

League one or two prices?  :sherlock:

Presume an early bird price to entice bargain hunters for next season.

Anyone who doesn’t think we’ll go up needs shooting!

Price freeze irrelevant of division, great incentive.

I'd also like to see something along the lines of 10% off new STs if you attend every home game from now until the end of the season, or start your ST now.

Like the idea of start the ST this season, kind of like a "season and a half ticket"

If I lived locally, I'd defo jump at that. Guarantees your seat for the run in too.

that'd be one hell of an incentive, jump on the feel good feeling*

*unless we lose tomorrow

As long as the price isn’t cheaper than existing season ticket holder renewals as you get on shakey ground if you give ‘new’ customers better deals.

Renewals are always cheaper. Match the renewal price if you go to every home game left.

+1 for the finance partner hope, don't think my other half would be too happy at me nicking wedding fund money for my tickets...  :D

Good shout. Or do the "season and a half ticket" at (say) the non-renewal season ticket price pro rata for this season, then as a renewal next season. If you see what I mean!

Just had the club schpiel through the door, which confirms...

- Frozen renewal season ticket prices in Phase 1, regardless of the division.
- 10 month free installment plan option available until 30/06
- phase 1 up to 09/03, phase 2 up to 31/03, phase 3 afterwards.

Cheers Leggett. Does that apply to family tickets as well?

1 adult 1 u18 £400
1 adult 2 u18 £470
2 adult 1 u18 £700
2 adult 2 u18 £770 all stands, same as the new prices.

u21s renew from £110, u18s renew from £80, u11s free, no word on having to join Junior Reds or not though like they had to previously.

Last season my eldest gets a freebie ticket :cry:

So no discount for family renewals then? That's a bit shit

it's actually the same as last year Paul

OK, that's still a bit shit then

Still a decent deal, basically 2 kids for £70. I guess this is the lowest price the club feels it can offer and is keen to attract more families.

Yeah, just feels like it's obligatory to whinge about season ticket prices :)

I think the ST's are great value. I pay £700 for 2 adults, which works out at c.£30 per game. For 2 adults and 2 children the cost is c.£34 per game = bargain in my eyes, particularly given the entertainment that has been served up under Wellens.

True, I've seen a few moan that we should do a 'Bradford' and we'd get 10k+ but we all know that is a myth, other than that I think the prices have been well received.

Poundland Paul.  :)
Is the entitlement mentality starting to affect old(er) farts now as well. :D

I'm not *that* flush :)

And I don't like the colour scheme on the ticket brochure!

In all seriousness, freezing the prices for another year, irrespective of what league we're in is bloody good. With the feelgood factor we have around the club now, you'd hope season tickets will be (metaphorically) flying off the shelves

 :)

To be fair the under 11's for free is great.
Would be interesting to know if most other clubs offer that as the norm.

important they've covered the interest free* option too

*assuming they'll have an admin fee

Tempted to purchase my first season ticket in 10 years.

I think they have done well freezing prices for hopefully L1 football, lets hope we can attract a few new ST holders as well, should be able to with the entertainment on offer and Wellens soundbites about wanting to have a go at getting up again should we get to L1.

I did the same this afternoon, albeit the first in 8 years.

Can't seem to find the Finance option online, only coming up with debit/credit card as an option. Anyone else having this problem?

Did mine on my phone using the finance option at around 3pm and had no problems.

If you're buying kid's tickets, they can only be paid by debit or credit cards, my season ticket is on finance, my two boys paid for separately by card. I had to email the ticket office to find out how last year, you buy their junior Reds memberships then tell them where you'd like them to sit. You can't select where when you purchase them.

Renewed mine today, on the 10 month interest free option online, completed the process including signing the agreement within 10 minutes.

Only buying an adult one for myself, my dad is having the same problem on his account also. Maybe just a ticketmaster glitch.

So according to Will Fowler, the club's media guy on the recent LS pod, we have sold 3,300 season tickets this season. Which I thought was worth brining up because it's a much speculated over figure. And we sell around 700 iFollow match passes for home games, so that's lockdown equivalent of "walk up" sales.

So our average attendance this year is 4,000? A great year for the armchair clubs.

I know a significant number of people who watch on streams (which may or may not be legal). It's usually justified with "Power doesn't get my money this way". Either way I'm quite surprised it's that little.

Season Ticket numbers don't surprise me, think it would've been higher with no pandemic but that's purely conjecture on my part.

Just out of interest, does anybody think there should be a deal for current season ticket holders to have for next season? (e.g. half price season tickets for renewal). As it stands, I'm not sure I'd renew next season as there's too much uncertainty at where we'll be with the pandemic. Understand the club needs to have a source of income, but this season has definitely felt like a waste of money having a season ticket.

Surprised the "walk up" numbers aren't higher. I've watched every game on iFollow this season bar the PJT ones, and would have thought there are plenty of non-local Town fans doing the same.

they'll have to come up with something. I know a few of our group who are considering not bothering if there's no clear path to going. Heck, if they they try to strong arm the early bird without extra incentives next month I'm not renewing then either, I'll wait.

I mean let's be honest, it's cheaper to pay for ifollow than a season ticket for many of us.
=============
we were lucky this season that the true nature of the pandemic didn't show until after the early bird phase finished

Does that 700 include iFollow season tickets?

For me it's more the ownership. I will not renew this year if Power is still here regardless of if we can actually go

No idea tbh. Maybe Costanza can shed some light?

Season tickets get iFollow for free right? So in theory aren’t purchasing it.

I guess families also bring the number down. Family of 4 would need 4 tickets for an actual match but just one stream at home.

yes.

though 'free' is more 'in lieu'. it's costing me £15 a game, though we do get 3 passes (but only use 1)

I think Audrey means people who bought an iFollow season ticket (so paid for whole season of watching on iFollow up front rather than game by game) as opposed to a real season ticket who then get free passes on iFollow.

Yeah. Paid €160 for mine.

Ditto

so he did. doh!

 I started reading this thread from the start and thought it was ST's for next season, I was thinking why are people being so reasonable we don't know if we will be able to go to the ground next season or what they are doing about those that bought ST's this season...then I saw the date  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Me too

It was 700 paid ifollow streams, so not including STs. Away game we're getting c. 1200.

You'll be getting plenty of shared streams, plenty of dodgy ones and plenty who have no idea how to watch a streamed game.

Nor me, and the delay I have heard is huge anyway compared to iFollow.

iFollow for all its problems is a godsend for those of us not able to get to games in person for whatever reason, distance/health etc, I don't think this season would have taken place at all without it being available for UK fans too.
