Season ticket packs

Quoted from pontoonlew

Sounds like a daft question but do you think there’s a chance these might hit general sale? I’m not likely to make every single game but it’d be good to put something towards the club and have a chance of seeing us play this season.

Doubt they will hit general sale. We have a regular take up of about 3000 season ticket holders, so i assume they will all go to those that are regulars. I was a regular until i decided not to buy one last season, so i'm not expecting to receive a pack this year. I think there will be a good few that want one, and had one last season, but will be disappointed. Don't know how they are going to allocate them. By rights they should go to those that have had one the longest first, which will take a bit of sorting through the ledgers. Maybe it will be a first come first served basis from those sent packs.

As for the social bubble bit. Surely that will be down to the individuals in the bubble to police themselves. Once those named in the bubble are allocated their seats together, it will be up to them to uphold the rules. No slipping your ticket to a mate if you can't attend for some reason. You can't expect the club to check everyone for validity.

So after all the time wasted when other clubs finally bit the bullet and realised cards were the easiest and cheapest method than printing tickets...we waited and waited until now?

This is gonna be very complicated...

Good opportunity to transition from old clunky ticketing to one that can provide lots of useful data for future marketing and planning. At least you can claim you were right in the end!

Side note...having not read it more than once, is there any mention of the trust bar being open pre match?

If they took out an area of the car park and put up a gazebo they could provide refreshments of whatever takes folks fancy there at a safe distance...or is that simply out of the question?

In some ways, this might actually move us forward in terms of ticketing, away from the clunky system and the handwritten ST book...

So how many folk are gonna be convincing their significant others that they need 300/400 within two weeks?

I mean i certainly am, im in the process of saving for a mortgage and always do my ST pay monthly. Without that option im a bit stumped

Quoted from Hagrid

They offering the pay monthly scheme? Or not doing it this year?

Yes should be available

Oh i apologise. Thanks Kristine

I won’t be able to make many games this season due to work commitments but I’d still purchase a season ticket to help with income for the club, I’m sure many others would to.

Buy shares instead then and not take a place in any ballot for people who are able to attend matches.

Good idea LH I hadn’t thought of that, it makes sense to do that.

Sorry that I was a bit abrupt with how I posted that! Inevitably there are going to be people who are going to be disappointed initially that they are unable to get in. Using other means of funding the club (shares predominantly as the club gets the lot and doesn’t lose any money to manufacturing costs or whatever) is going to allow more people who want to to get in.

Those who are disappointed in the first ballot need to keep in mind that one day we will all be allowed back in. It would be nice if the club could clarify how they’ll allocate tickets in the second, third etc ballots though.
