How are the monthly installments on a TE ticket cheaper than the Arkells or Don Rogers? That's taking the piss a bit.
EDIT: Just seen the TE is £269 whereas Arkells and Don Rogers are £279.

10 monthly installments is a great idea,as is the 3 year season ticket.
Im still not bothering though.

Pleased they've pretty much frozen ST prices, albeit allowing for a notional differential in TE; Pleased they've extended "Kids go free" to under 10s - that makes a big difference for families/fans of the future; Disappointed matchday prices have gone up - will deter casual fans

It's a bit short notice to get the earliest prices.
See attached file Luci!

I know they usually extend the deadlines anyway but those dates are fucking stupid.
For the earliest price I have to renew by the end of April when this season isnt over and we may not even know what division we are playing. I find that to be a bit stupid.
Wait till the season is nearly over, then released the prices early bird prices untill the end of June, early bird plus till the end of July, full price after that.
Having the deadline so soon, is if anything going to make me less likely to renew....cheers

We have to remember, these prices are still a big improvement on the previous boards efforts, but I have to say my initial reaction is mainly disappointment.
First, the good news :-
You can pay in 10 installments which will help people to spread the cost. There is a price freeze, so adult season tickets can still be bought for £269 Under 10s free if accompanying an adult season ticket holder.
The bad news IMHO :- The "price freeze" isnt really a freeze for most people. It only applies to the Town End, elsewhere in the ground the price is £279 which is where most season ticket holders sit. I doubt £10 will be much of an incentive to get people back in the TE.
The extra £10 isnt that big a deal, but what will upset a lot of people is that to get the £279 price you have to renew by the end of April. After that the price goes up to £309, and from the beginning of June, a whopping £399. New applications cannot get the £279 price even if they apply early.
Match day prices up to £16 in the TE, and £22 in the DRS and Arkells
Reading between the lines I think our owners are feeling the pinch just like everybody else.

I'm not happy about that at all, 30th April for the early bird cut off when we dont even know our league status? I said I'd renew no matter what but I think thats plain harsh as if we do go down, those match day prices are a rip off.
Not impressed.

Oh and 19.9% APR on the installment option! Thats so high (although common I suppose)
End up paying 25 quid over.
Were definitely losing ST holders this year without doubt.

It looks very unlikely I'll have the season ticket money till June and there is no way in hell I am going to pay four hundred fucking quid to watch L1 or L2 football.
