Update On ST for next season.

[Ramsey is god]

The moaning is because your seat will be released for someone else to buy if you don't commit by the 2nd week in April. Yes the deposit will help some people with this option but if I had been going for a long time in the same seat I would be pissed if I lost it in a few weeks time.

then pay a rather cheap deposit to save that seat. What on earth do people think "Earl Bird" stands for. completely bemused by the moaning on this.

I'm not.

An "early bird" means you get a discounted rate if you commit early. You should still have until the end of May (IMO) to renew your seat (albeit at a higher cost than the "early bird" of course). People are moaning because if they've not committed by the 2nd week in April, their seat will be up for grabs.

Not such how hard that is to understand tbf?

I will, personally, be renewing, but I do understand why some aren't overly impressed. The club have had to change their stance as they knew they farked up and nobody was renewing.

The annoying thing for me is its cheated some fans like myself of £30+ quid . I renewed 3 weeks ago with Zebra finance and there instalments end in the same month as when if you paid the £50 the club would want the balance interest free. Also why do the club get a finance company to do this when if they did it themselves they could profit. Not like it's a gamble. If you miss a payment your season ticket can be restricted.

I believe it's to do with offering credit facilities Neil. In order to do so, one would need to be authorised by the FCA which will take a little time, hence their comment about the possibility of spreading payments over 12 months possibly for the following season.

Thanks Brighton R ... Still leaves a bitter taste.. The club should have installed this system years ago.

That wasn't on offer at the time, only now. I also have two holidays to pay for, ground rent and service charge for my flat and not everyone is in the position of having money just sitting around. At my age I have bit but when I was young I could never have afforded to go at today's prices especially if I had to pay early.

I'm actually having a big issue with the tickets in that they want to charge me for the full adult price despite me being 21 until mid March next year. That means I'm actually only in the adult range for 4 matches tops in the league yet it's 200 quid extra. Not that I won't pay it worst comes to worst, but I'd obviously rather be in the fair range of price.

If you were born before 01/08/1995 then you need to pay the full price Nasser. The rules are quite clear and there has to be a cut off somewhere.

No I understand the rules, they point is that if we have 23 matches and I'm 21 for 17 of them, I feel that it isn't exactly the most logical thing to have to pay 200 quid more as a result.

my point is, they have corrected it now. You have to pay something like a 10-20% deposit to secure the seat. Seems perfectly logical to me.

Not sure on numbers sold initially, but think we all know that everyone leaves it till the last day possible to actually renew each year so wouldnt read too much into them figures.

most probably a simple answer to this, but cant you just lie about your date of Birth? i have only ever taken my son who is 11 and mates who are well over 21, so what is there in place to stop you saying your younger?
