| Quote dboy="dboy"That's not the issue though.
Yes, I too would love to see tickets remain at the affordable £100, but the problem is that if they do, then what was the "early bird" offer?
In the context of next year...If there is no benefit to buying early, then I may as well just wait til...well, anytime before next season. In such a case, the club could just have missed out on 1/4 of million quid in the bank before the end of Sept!
There needs to be a clearer view of the spectrum of the deals on offer e.g. £100 EB offer before end of Sept, with the option of spreading cost over 2 months.
After that tickets are, say £150, to be paid for by the end of closing in December. This ideally would come with the option to spread payments over the 4 months (Sept-Dec).
When the club re-opens in January, tickets are full price, say £185.
All this needs to be clear from the beginning.
I believe there are costs involved with setting up and running "payment options", but I don't imagine that it would be too hard for the club to administer that itself (???), in the form of a savings club.'"
=#0000FFGood point dboy, but at the end of the day fans like me/you would get the season tickets any way, but a new fan may not then we loose out as a club... there must be a better way round this...???

I was having a dig at idiot posters who come up with half-baked ideas without looking at the other side of things and think they have a finished solution, not people without much money. Additionally, if they can afford all you say they'll buy, I don't see the £100 quid ticket with split payment options being such a problem.
Perhaps the current management have weighed up the options and thought that anybody who hasn't taken the very generous, essentially loss-leading offer is either not committed enough or arguably that skint that on balance, the offer shouldn't be extended. I don't profess to know all the ins and outs of it. What I was getting at though, for fear of repeating myself, is that on this one, I think it is churlish to have a go when they have run such a successful offer.

| Not sure if anyone has noticed but the payment for £100 season tickets is available still to buy on the clubs home website.
I just clicked through a few options and it appears you can still purchase at the early price.
I got the Gold standing for £100 but must say the Gold £120 for centre stand seating is nothing short of a steal.

It is nothing personal; it is aimed squarely at anyone spouting guff. If you'd prefer, I'll gladly concede a change to 'posters with idiotic views'.

| I have so far restrained from posting on this subject however I think I will have my moan!!!
Firstly, what a great effort it has been to sell over 2500 season tickets in a month....its superb even though the tickets were heavily discounted.
However, I was under the impression that if 2500 people made the 'pledge' and bought one at £100 or whatever then the tickets would stay the same for everyone no matter when they bought it. This in my opinion is the way the 'product' has been advertised and sold through different sources.
As it happens it doesn't matter to me whether they put them in price on Monday or not, but I do think that the club ought to keep the prices low so that we can get a larger support base.
My final point is this. If someone decided to buy a season ticket today, what would they be charged? Yesterdays price or tomorrows price?...just a thought?

| Today's as advertised on website otherwise it's false advertisement until changed. That's if it allows purchase.

| I can see both sides of the arguement. The clarity of information is a little subjective, and leaves it quite open. Personally, i'm not fused either way, i gave my money on the first or second day, but if the prices stayed low i'd be happy for everyone else.
As others have said, and to an extent i do agree, we must place some importance upon getting season tickets early so that next year people don't just wait and assume they'll reap the rewards off others hard earned cash.
It's about a little bit of balance as this is the first year we've really got behind an ST offer. Announce the deal is to be extended by 2 weeks and the prices kept at £100, but also state 'AFTER THIS DEADLINE, PRICES WILL RISE'. They don't need to stipulate to what, but then fans have been given the opportunity to snap them up quickly and if they chose not too then it's hardly the clubs fault!

| Quote bren2k="bren2k"Absolutely - that's called 'continuous improvement' and it's always a good thing to strive for.'"
Yep, something I know a lot about! Having the correct systems and procedures in place isn't something that this club has always had, always tending to have to fire fight and be reactive rather than proactive. It now seems that things are been done in the correct way and I trust the club to get the pricing of the tickets from this point on correct and to continue to evolve and prosper. Its what business in every walk of life do, they have to survive. They must be doing something up to press right because lets be honest, who at the beginning of February would have though 7 months later we would have about 3000 season ticket holders for the 2012 superleague season???
