The club should offer a resale service for games you can't attend. Even if it just offered a £10 voucher for the shop or bars, in return for a ST seat, as long as they sell it, they could end up selling the same seat twice and make a bit more money, while the ST holder gets a little something back. Everyone wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was only trying to make a suggestion. I dont pay my season ticket for nrothing and I dont think you should pay extra for home league games because tuesday and wednesday and very rarely on thursday.

I think you've misunderstood, @B4ev6is. I think... but I may be wrong... that what @1of4 was suggesting was: You, me, and all the other locals can and will still go ahead and buy our season tickets... for all home games... as we do now. Those that live a long way off, and struggle to get to mid-week evening games, would have the option to buy a season ticket for the weekend home games only, but maybe get priority to buy "their" same seat for mid-week games they can get to. Of course, that wouldn't give them as good a deal as you and I get, as they wouldn't be committing to as many games, before the season starts. I doubt this would ever be workable anyway, but I just thought your "Get Lost" was a tad harsh on @1of4, who I guess was just trying to come up with a solution for those long distant fans, who would like to make a pre-season commitment.

Carnero Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 1 hour ago, Mucker1884 said: So no early bird period. Just any time between now and August, but my seat is only reserved until end of April? I can live with that, and a price-freeze is never a bad thing. £388 for me, as a multi-season renewal, in Cat D (NE Corner). I'm in.* I've not read my renewal docs properly yet but I'm pretty sure that there'll be a price increase after 30 April, as a season ticket renewal after that point will lose the discount for multi year renewal.

ThePrisoner Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 A season ticket for weekend games is a non-starter. What do the club charge? How many games? So many games move for TV, nothing to do with the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for explaining my thoughts so succinctly. Do you do mind reading professionally or is it just a hobby. As you say the idea is probably unworkable. But if the club start losing revenue, they'll look at the feasibility of how they can sell more tickets. Now will you please get out of my head, I'm not use to anything rattling around in the void between my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B4ev6is Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 The only way it could work is if made home membership into like season ticket were give you options on games even if they are moved even have put that package like at £100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My take is that the only thing that splits period 1 from period 2 is the relocation week. "Your" seat is reserved exclusively for you, until the end of period 1. No guarantees that you can get the same seat after that, but of course you can still renew (during period 2). You may just have to settle for a different seat. As for pricing, their are 4 prices stated (for each age group): (Most expensive first): 4/ First time buyers. 3/ Renewing for the first (consecutive) time, so first season ticket was for this current season. 2/ Renewing for the second (consecutive) time, so next season will be your third consecutive ST. 1/ Renewing for the third or more (consecutive) time. So have held a ST for at least since 17/18. I can't find anything, either on the online ST page, or my bumf that I quickly scanned this afternoon, that references any price increase and/or loss of discount, at any stage or date? In fact, in the latter, aimed specifically at me, my ID, and my seat details, it shows the one renewal price... no asterisk, no T&Cs apply, no small print added, no reference to dates etc. (Other than the final date of 31st August, of course). Either way, it won't affect me, as I intend to renew whilst my same seat is reserved, so before the end of April. *I'm assuming of course, that all renewals are based on being a ST holder for consecutive seasons. If this current season was the first time in 30 years you hadn't had a ST, next season would start again as your first, not your 31st in 32 years!

Ambitious Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 I'm going to bow out for next season. It's nothing against Cocu or co at all as I believe the season could well be a good one providing it all clicks into place, but as others have mentioned it's getting harder and harder to warrant a season ticket. I miss too many games to make it worth it and some games I get to feels like a chore because of arduous things I have to do before and after the game. I'd much prefer to pay for the games I can get to and make much more of an experience of it - I may even look at getting the home/away membership based on the price. I think without additional investment, which I doubt we will get, I'd suggest that the drop off could be considerable - perhaps looking at the lowest average we've ever seen at Pride Park next season.
