Season Tick Renewal - What's Going On!

[RoyalBlue]

Having now been to Eastlands, I have to say that City's tickets look very good value.

[Royal Lady]

We got our reminder card thingy in the post today - one comment (besides how much did that little lot cost to produce, obv) - they say ST holders get a £20 voucher which they use towards merchandise, towards a hospitality package or "for a home league game" - I presume, seeing as our ST covers all home league games, they mean we can buy a ticket for a game for a friend - personally, I'd have preferred to be able to use it for the first home carling cup/league cup game.

[Harpers So Solid Crew]

Except that these days the club keep the money from league games, so the £20 stays with them, but in cup games it is shared, so they lose 40%, in order to do that deal they would have to up the price of the cup game to compensate, I think they call it marketing, you know buy one get 2 free sort of thing.

Is that Legs on that ST renewal flyer, if so he must be here to stay.

On that basis I'm going to renew my ST straight away.

Just lining things up so if he's not signed you can threaten to sue the club and they'll cave in and settle out of court?

In all seriousness though, you'd have to question the sense in using a "non-permanent" player in promotional material for next season given Reading fans' disposition for moaning.

I'll be sure to lodge my small claim in Wigan.

I still believe a permanent deal is already in place.....

LOL @ the club spamming me with e-mail and post asking me to buy a season ticket by 28/4. Not. Going. To. Happen.

But a bigger LOL is in the offing at all of us scoffing here "yeah good luck with that 'regardless of what division we are in' bit". The club has responded to the stick on this thread by instructing the team to play better, win more games and move up the table to sh*t us all up a bit. It's the marketing equivalent of where the hostage taker shoots the woman to show he means business in Air Force One.

[TFF]

I'll be renewing on the 27th or 28th.

[Wizard]

I'm tempted to buy one for the first time. Probably won't bother though.

[soggy biscuit]

Looks like I won't be getting one for the first time in years.

Will still attend a fair few matches though but with crowds down I should be able to get to the ones I want, miss out the dross and save myself some time & money.



being plastic never felt so good

I still haven't seen where it says "ST renewals are UP on last year" as per HSSC - bearing in mind that a) there were probably next to no renewals at the same time last year (so saying they are up is rather misleading) and b) how can renewals be UP at all - either everyone renews in which case it is the same number as last year and can't be UP.

I can only assume that they mean that they are up on this stage of the process last year (ie - x weeks into the offer last year a certain number of people had renewed and this year it is m ore than that).

[Royal Lady]

Well, yes, that's kind of what I was getting at - in that I suspect renewals at this time last year (end of March bear in mind) were practically non-existent!

[jonboy29red]

well i dont think i will be renewing mine yet till more like the end of the seson for a number of reasons im not being told when i can and cant renewl

TBF, you've always been "told when you can and cant renew" just as much as this year. The dates are different, yes, this year - but the process hasn't changed.

[Deadlock]

Good post SS, thing is I have always been in favour of the better seats costing more, but when you look at SL and TL in the Riverside there is a difference of £90, and that could and would be just across the walkway in many cases, is that view worth more/less?

This is the Riverside Stand at Craven Cottage. It's not just the difference between SL and TL that's surprising, but you can be charged an extra £300 for sitting one row further back!

[Svlad Cjelli]

You have to draw the line somewhere if you have price categories - the alternative is a graduated price difference betwene every single row.
