No matter how many games there are, even at 11 ther's a decent saving - 11 x £14 = £154 compared with £120 paid!

666 your right.

CougarDave, whilst it is nice to save money these days isnt this about trying to help the club go forward.
At the end of last season if the club had said this is the team we can have if we sell a seson ticket for £120 but you have to pay for the first round of the challenge cup would this have stoped you buying a ticket.

Think as well if we draw another top Super League club in the next round there fans will have to pay to watch instead of the Fiasco last season when we made very little from the Warrington game.
Lets think about the club not ourselves.

Mr Hicks your correct - everyone get behind the cougars - the cougars have even reduced the entry to £10 - applaud who's idea this is as will hopefully generate a bigger crowd on Sunday which is what we all want and after the performance on Sunday at Batley they could have charged double and we would have still been at Cougar Park cheering them on

I think people are missing the point here, the club have charged £120 for the season ticket on the basis that it is valid for 12 games. This is now clearly not the case and the product has been mis-sold by the club.

If I went to a restaurant and ordered burger, chips and a drink I would be outraged if it came without the chips but the waitress told me I shouldn't complain because I was still getting good value for the burger and drink.

Don't think people are missing the point.
Yes, due to RFL rules you may have to pay £10 to get into a game.

But on the other hand, on round 3 the club and our opposition stand to make much needed cash. Should we secure passage through to round 4 then if we get the right Super league team, we stand to make a considerable few quid.

The club isn't a restaurant, its a sporting enterprise, run and supported by people who want the team to succeed.

From the above you suggest that it's the club that have made a mistake (which they may have) and not the RFL that have had a last minute change of mind. Not that the RFL would ever change the rules at the last moment

But I accept that you are quite entitled to your opinion

Re: Season Tickets : Wed Mar 21, 2012 7:27 pm  

To all those complaining over ten pounds.

I wouldnt call you true supporters. We are watching the best team weve had for 17 years.
Just look at things like you have paid eleven pounds per game or would you still have wanted to save the tenner and us loose out in the next round on what could be a massive pay day and see even more big name players come to the club next season on the strength of the cup money.

To be fair, ten pounds can mean a lot to people on a tight budget and i can understand why the question is raised but then again, there are ways of approaching this other than suggesting the club are incompetent.

With respect that's an unfair analogy.

Obeone for example comes to most games, sings himself hoarse, buys merch and sups a few pints at the bar.

Is it just about the £10?

Or is about the matter that the club sold them a product on the basis of one thing and they got another? To some people the morality and principle of the issue are worth far more than what can appear on face value to be a relatively small monetary amount involved.

In my opinion the club put the Season Tickets on sale in good faith. One way or another an error has been made, which let's face it happens, we're all human after all. If the club knew that the RFL had scrapped the free CC game before the tickets went on sale then this is a bad oversight and procedures obviously need to be reviewed. If the RFL changed their policy after the Season Tickets went on sale then the club should have endeavoured to rectify the situation. as soon as possible. Either way, I think the best and fairest way to rectify the situation would be to offer all season ticket holders involved a rebate equivalent to admission on Sunday with the option to waive it to keep the funds in the club.

Myself I'd waive it.
