Smirking_Saint Posted 31 May, 2010 Share Posted 31 May, 2010 Fair play, some good prices in there, hopefully everyone will STFU about the whole issue now. Well done NC and team. Great structure and great loyalty bonuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great structure and great loyalty bonuses. not the big reduction as some were especting though. but i think the lack of an installment plan and the lack of a half-season ticket will screw a few people over.

Arizona Posted 31 May, 2010 Share Posted 31 May, 2010 At 11pm? This is just nutty. A nice surprise, but a bit nutty. Like finding a box of Cornettos you'd forgotten about in you freezer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mewsta Posted 31 May, 2010 Share Posted 31 May, 2010 I'm definitely screwed by the lack of installment plan... if these were realeased in April I would have been able to afford it.... however with a holiday to pay for over the next 2 months I'm up sh*t street!!!

Saint Mikey Posted 31 May, 2010 Share Posted 31 May, 2010 An extra 48 quid on my ST from last season is fairly steep for League one. We all knew last season the prices were dirt cheap. Renewals worked out at something like 12 quid a game. It's almost that to watch Eastleigh play! The price rises will be steady til we get to the Prem. That's what we all want, isn't it?!

for_heaven's_Saint Posted 31 May, 2010 Share Posted 31 May, 2010 Gone up £30 for me but still a pretty good price. Lack of the instalment plan will lose a lot of customers though I'd expect. It's all very well to suggest people could save up but some people have been unable to for various reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, the price has gone UP! around £50 in some cases. initially looking at it, it didn't look too bad at all - but you're right, there have been slight rises all over the board. inc. the matchday prices slightly i think? - and the inclusion of a booking fee - which i think was only used for the webmley/pompey game last year?

SaintNick89 Posted 31 May, 2010 Share Posted 31 May, 2010 Ive just turned 21...do i have to pay Adult rate this year or could i get a young adult ST for this coming season? plus £3 booking fee for online and phone bookings on match day tickets.....bad move there i think.

StDunko Posted 31 May, 2010 Share Posted 31 May, 2010 Prices are pretty good in my opinion. £277 for my renewal in the family enc works out at £12.04p per games. I'll be with my Dad (senior) who will be paying £193, which is £8.39 per game. Seems like a bargain to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La BoIS Saint Posted 31 May, 2010 Share Posted 31 May, 2010 Have any of the prices not gone up? Defo "288 up to £328 for me, over 10% increase. Come back the Glazers all is forgiven!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markr27 Posted 31 May, 2010 Share Posted 31 May, 2010 Wonder if the £3 booking fee applies per transaction rather than for each ticket. Hopefully the former. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonManager Posted 31 May, 2010 Share Posted 31 May, 2010 (edited) I paid £351 last season for a Block 5 ticket which would now be £393. I then moved to Block 37 and got a partial refund of £9. This season I want move back over to Block 4 or 3. I wonder if Blocks 1-3 will be open for ST's? Don't see the sense in no instalment payments though.

La BoIS Saint Posted 31 May, 2010 Share Posted 31 May, 2010 Would like clarification on the booking fee. Massive hike on prices if it's per ticket, will badly affect people who go on their own whatever. Wonder if it will apply to away tickets. Potentially seriously unhappy about this, thin end of the wedge time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landford.saint Posted 31 May, 2010 Share Posted 31 May, 2010 (edited) No installment plan... Well that is totally bonkers and just screwed me (x2 if you count Mrs L/S). I suggest a mass e-mailing to thre club to complain by alll those (and I guess there are many) who are going to seriously struggle to pay for everything up front, Let alone those poor s@ds with kids to pay for as well.

Potentially seriously unhappy about this, thin end of the wedge time. What i dont understand is they say they have added £2 to the price if you pay on the day to encourage people to book their tickets in advanced. But then they go and put an extra £3 "booking fee" on the price if you want to buy in advance :S seems strange to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozz Posted 31 May, 2010 Share Posted 31 May, 2010 Lack of a payment plan seems quite a big issue, especially when this is only stated ten hours before the tickets go on sale. Just pulled out the customer charter which admitedly states 09-10 season but was only issued in December: "In a continuing effort to to strive for wider access to matches the club will offer a payment plan for season tickets to make them cost-effective."

bowers-sfc Posted 31 May, 2010 Share Posted 31 May, 2010 I am 99% certain of not being able to re-new next season due to the hike in prices and not being able to pay monthly. I know 30-40 quid not alot, but working part time and trying to find 300 quid is not easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad , bad decision in my opinion. i worried this would happen, simply because they've left it way too late. With the installment plan i think every application is subject to a credit check etc prior to approval, they have probably seen that they will not be able to process all of the installment plans in the 2 month period the tickets are on sale for. The question still remains as to why it's been delayed? Release them in April/March and they should be able to work the installment plan. I'm a bit miffed, but not too fussed - I'll just buy my tickets for next season, unfort there is no way atm i can fork out that much cash at once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debit/credit card was swiped at ticket office when first installment taken and details saved. Then at the beginning of each month the next installment would be taken as a new transaction on the same card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
