£22!!!!!!!!
Sorry for being lazy and not looking myself but is there any discount for buying match tickets in advance? My old man is retired now and when I travel over he normally gets my ticket next to or near to him way in advance. |

The prices for renewal are fine and even the full price for new customers is probably in line with other league 1 clubs.
It's funny how lots of people expect the board to splash cash all over the place, but complain about paying for tickets themselves! (This is not aimed at anyone in particular)

That may be the case Hertha, but I think people were expecting a good deal with football not being near the top of most people's priority list. Think football may have a tough year next season, with people deciding very carefully where they spend their disposable income.
£22 on a average div3 or 4 match or 8 pints of Guinness in front of some massive screen watching some glory boy footie, that's not the toughest decision to make for a person with no real loyalty to STFC.

Honest question, do you think they would reconsider the cut off date? Thats going to be the sticking point for most, myself included. |

All in all I'm happy.
Positive points : Prices are still very good. The three year ticket is superb value if you can afford it. The kids go free under ten is the way to go Excellent. Under 20's still get in at concession rates. Even natch day prices are still lower than the prices we had to pay a few years ago. The installment plan at an APR of 19.9% may seem high, but is a better rate than most credit cards these days & overall the interest STILL works out at just over the cost of one match day ticket, & takes the total early bird price to just below the total early bird PLUS price.
I can understand the borad not going with the two installment option again. That was wrecked by (depending on your point of view), Maurice Malpas or those fickle fans who said they wwere not going to pay it cos we weren't top of the league.
Of course the big negative is the deadline date, but in reality if I had been told two years ago that Diamandis Carson et al would be history, the club would be safe, & we would only be paying £309 (even if I delayed buying) for a season ticket I would have thought it was too good to be true.
As for those who want to find ouyt which league we'll be in.............. relax it'll be this one for sure, but if uyou are that bothered, pay the extra £30!

same for me Luci. Loving the instalment plan, just give us a bit more notice. If it comes down to having to pay for a holiday now and missing out then I'll simply pick and choose next season.

I'd like to think so, as it's gonna cripple me financially. Maybe a concerted effort is needed to get them to delay the cut off until the end of May? |

The deadlines are harsh. I will be renewing but can understand why people are struggling to by the end of April as I am too.
In my mind thought if you can't afford it then you have two options:
1. Go with the 10 month installment plan. Alright its nearly 20% APR which looks rubbish but in reality its only an extra £26 which really isn't that bad.
2. Pay it at the end of April on a credit card and pay it off over a period of time that suits you. Will probably take a few months to rack up the £26 in interest charges (or not at all if you get a new card with a 0% introductory offer)
I'm going with option 2 and will pay it off as quick as i can. People should remember that they're probably still alot cheaper than they were over 10 years ago.

But Juddie, you're talking about a difference of £30 comparing season to season timing. |

people are losing their jobs,others are being more carefull with their finances.so stfc come up with this piss poor ticket structure for next season with matchday increases,whilst we are enduring a awful year of football this term.
apart from having money this lot are getting worse as time goes by.
the food kiosks are still shit,the team are shitter than last year,the 1969 stratton bank raffle is a joke.

£30 is £30 and some people don't want to pay a direct debit and have an extra monthly outgoing. By extending the deadline by 1 month, it gives people more time to get the money together to pay it off in a lump sum, avoid the monthly direct debit and interest. |

Defo disappointed with the early bird notice and lack of incentive for the TE bearing in mind it's the worst view in the ground (unless sat directly behind a post in the Arkells.......hmmm wonder how much they are ?) and that should be reflected in the price. Lucky to get 3 thousand ST holders next season whatever division we end up in !
