October 20, 201411 yr I know this lot take some flak, and rightly so - I rang up today so enquire about a season ticket from next Saturday onwards expecting to be cheaper now 6 home games gone - club said they are same price as start of season. Do they just not want to sell any or is their business sense just completely non-existent??
October 20, 201411 yr Poor form, you'd think they'd reduce it pro-rata and take whatever money they can. That is unless you paid full whack for one anyway? In fairness though the ticket office won't be making those sorts of decisions, it'll be made by the club themselves, it's just a shame that they're the ones on the end of it.
October 20, 201411 yr You might be better waiting for a half season ticket and get the £10 ones until then.
October 20, 201411 yr Author Poor form, you'd think they'd reduce it pro-rata and take whatever money they can. That is unless you paid full whack for one anyway? That's what I thought... I bet they get a few enquiries now with the new manager etc, so pocket what they can. What £10 ones Mounts?
October 20, 201411 yr What £10 ones Mounts? Football in the community, made available to school kids, youth football teams etc
October 20, 201411 yr Colin from Walkden whites usually advertises them on Friends of Manny road website.
October 20, 201411 yr Does that mean if you wanted your money back from the season tickets they give you a full refund?
October 20, 201411 yr Colin from Walkden whites usually advertises them on Friends of Manny road website. I don't have any friends
October 20, 201411 yr because you're a cantankerous old sod! MR58 has loads of friends because he is a cantankerous old sod. He can sit in The Vulcan being cantankerous with a load of other cantankerous old sods. Cantankerous is a great word by the way, it's going to be my word of the week along with nuisance. There were quite a few nuisances on Saturday.

Do they just not want to sell any or is their business sense just completely non-existent?? Right this is bollocks. People buy a season ticket in the summer so the club pockets the money so those people get best price. They do a half year season ticket at Xmas you can not expect them to do one after every single game. They are called season tickets for a reason.

Ani is reet Those who buy early get rewarded You don't get rewarded for buying one when we have a new manager and are hopefully at the start of an upward curve

I thought I was more diplomatic in my "don't talk with your cock hanging out" reply And Harold, you have a point. Being cantankerous isn't a bad thing

It's probably still cheaper to buy a season ticket as well, than pay each week
October 20, 201411 yr If Lennon is as good as I hope he will be then ALL the value in my season ticket is in the games yet to come rather than the games gone under the auspices of Freedman. Therefore damned right it should be full whack.
October 20, 201411 yr Would make commercial sense to offer a 17/23rds season ticket you reckon then we'll have even more current STH waiting to see how each season starts make it 19/23s and i'll vote for you
October 20, 201411 yr you reckon then we'll have even more current STH waiting to see how each season starts make it 19/23s and i'll vote for you Done
October 20, 201411 yr P.S. I dont think any other club do this either. It's a full or a half. Most clubs do it on request. You'd only get it pro rata based on the same price as those who bought it on the first day of the season, so those who renewed early aren't missing out on anything, and the club gets your money in the bank and, more importantly in some ways, a guaranteed extra number on every league attendance. I'd agree it'd be a bit daft with a handful of games left, but there's still a huge chunk of the season left yet.
October 20, 201411 yr I think it would have been a good idea to make this Saturday's game one of those where we offer a deal to season ticket holders...say a tenner off next year's season ticket if you bring someone with you...you'd probably have to reduce the on the day price to tempt these lapsed fans, but it would be a win-win, surely...? Loyal season ticket holders get rewarded, club makes say a fiver per extra punter if match day price is 15 notes...plus whatever they spend in the ground...we get more people through the turnstiles, therefore a better atmosphere...and the momentum and feel good factor really starts to build.
