Season Tickets

No offence but that’s the worst idea I’ve heard so far.

Impossible to be offended by your sentiment mate..

Sort of thing that would get good BCorp brownie points mind…

Can't see why giving £5 or more back for releasing a seat is too much of an incentive.

The club make another £19 on top of whatever they received up front for the original season ticket, and if someone wants to purchase a seat up front and never actually use it, what difference does it make?

If you're an exile who knows they'll only make 5 home league games a year, but want to be guaranteed you sit in a set seat and have guaranteed purchase on any big cup games/priority access on tickets for away days, it would have a degree of appeal.

5 games at £350(ish) = £70 a game.  With a £5 release for those 18 games that reduces it to £52.  I still think it's a ridiculous price but it makes it less unappealing.  Our current position has created a position of fear amongst fans of missing out, it's a product of the situation and not by design.  But I don't think we should do anything that encourages people to effectively buy tickets with the sole intention of not missing out.

Quoted from Yarborough Vaults

Have to be a bit careful with 'incentives' though as may encourage people to buy STs who know they won't go regularly but will then have a decent chance of recouping some of the outlay. Too much carrot could cause further unexpected issues, there also needs to be a bit of stick like miss x amount of games and can't early bird the same seat next season

I, for one, don't agree about any form of penalty for not attending x number of games as a ST holder. I agree that there should be some kind of incentive so a ticket can be made available if the ST holder can't attend a match.

All well and good if the demand is there , what if we are struggling, playing crap and a lot of season ticket holders try to bail out ?

Agreed a small incentive is required or it is easy to not bother releasing the ticket. Charity is fine that would work for me. Ideally we should find the time to release the ticket but the reality is that any sort of incentive would motivate and I don’t think it would need much

For every ticket you give back from your season ticket you get a number in a raffle.
3 prizes at the end of the season are drawn. A free season ticket. A free kit and £10 club voucher.

Bail out how?

They've already bought their season ticket.

I think he means a scenario in which come mid-February we're in no mans land in the table, not going up nor going down.  Nothing to play for effectively.  

If the option is there to flog your ticket back to the club, for whatever price..let's just say a fiver, a lot of people may take it up.  Club are unlikely to resell that extra generated seat and are effectively financially down to the tune of £5.

Of course there would have to be a clause that you only get a refund/return if the ticket is resold.
