Season Ticket Early Bird Deadline : Fri Nov 24, 2017 1:33 pm  

Well the club have finally realised that when you have an Early Bird Deadline, you are supposed to actually have a date when it ends. Link So, standard ground admission will go from £149 to £199 after 9th December

That's gonna be a tough ask on those waiting to see what happens with the court case. Court case no chance of being done before the end of that deadline, so those waiting will have to cough up an extra £50.

It's a gamble by the club I would say, hoping those people will decide to pay now instead. If the gamble fails, it's likely to leave them short of quite a few purchases they would have had with a deadline after the court case.



(Disclaimer: Doesn't affect me in the slightest, I have no intention of buying one regardless. Just thinking out loud about others on here who have stated they're waiting)

I bought mine last weekend. They were adamant all would be fine. My response was...

"That's what Hood said. And Omar. And Moore. And funnily enough Green too."

To which they said,

"Andrew's only focus is to have a team out there playing".

Well I bought mine on plastic last weekend and I've already submitted a provisional claim to the plastic company, as I assume we'll go bust every year, and if for once we don't, that'll make a pleasant change

I'll wait until after the court case. By then I'm hoping we know who the coach is and which other players we've signed.

Re: Season Ticket Early Bird Deadline : Fri Nov 24, 2017 5:53 pm  

Well I wasn't going to be signing up for a season worth of commitment regardless but I can't see many being sold at those prices after the deadline. If I understand it right.. the price freeze will actually be a price increase of £50 on 2017 Championship prices and with one less game included for 3rd tier opposition... or am I missing something here? Admittedly this year was dead rubber but it still seems on the steep side to me.

I will hopefully get to the odd game next year, but those prices would likely suggest that the walk up price could be going up considerably too so maybe not so many. Wonder if the new coach will be announced beforehand.. think that deadline was the 10th wasn't it?

Will wait for the warmer weather and see how the off season/early season pans out.

If the walk up price goes up then I hope to God we're doing the business on the field or we'll be playing in front of sub 1k crowds.

Re: Season Ticket Early Bird Deadline : Fri Nov 24, 2017 9:50 pm  

We've got ours. The price uplift should concentrate a few minds before the deadline. Don't see the point of buying after the deadline now. We're pretending the court case doesn't exist mind.

Re: Season Ticket Early Bird Deadline : Fri Nov 24, 2017 10:08 pm  

I won't be buying before the court case and in that case will prob go to less games next years.

League 1 and more expensive than last year!!! Really.

If you're missing it, so am I. That's spot on. Talk about a hard sell. But hey, target is 3,000 cash cows! Sorry, I mean season ticket holders.

I'm fully expecting them to try and get Geldof in the Marketing department. "Just give us your F***ING money!"
