Turkish Posted 22 May, 2013 Share Posted 22 May, 2013 Would like to have kept them but with Sunday/Monday/mid-week games out due to our own sporting commitments and work there seems little point in renewing, especially with the nipper moving from U11 to U17 adding to the cost. I wont be renewing, due to not being able to get to many games next season. Shame as i think next year will be a cracker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liquidshokk Posted 22 May, 2013 Share Posted 22 May, 2013 Have you both considered getting one, going to all the games you can and giving the ticket to friends/family when you can't go? I have, but its not always easy finding people to take ticket off you either for cash or on a free. I worked for aap3 for a while last year and so got free tickets now and again and couldn't give them away sometimes, especially when it was cold or wet. As I go on my own its hard to find other people who are happy to go on their own so my ST goes unused when I can't make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets B Avenue Posted 22 May, 2013 Share Posted 22 May, 2013 Am I reading that right that there is no ticket tax if you buy at the tik office? Last year it was only if you paid by cash that there was no add on. Also student discounts not within the concession price this time? Seems only to be over 65s, under 17, 17-21 etc. Where have you seen this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNOWY Posted 22 May, 2013 Share Posted 22 May, 2013 I was expecting a 10% increase so quite pleased with the prices. I am surprised that the individual match ticket prices haven't been announced. It's impossible to calculate the value in a season ticket without knowing how much per match is being "saved". It seems that the club finally have a professional credit scheme for those who wish to spread their payments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandwichsaint Posted 22 May, 2013 Share Posted 22 May, 2013 How much were disabled ST's last season, I have 2 STs and one disabled ST.

Marino Posted 22 May, 2013 Share Posted 22 May, 2013 The total for our 3 s/ts will be £28.00 cheaper than that for 12-13 - due to another concession kicking in. Therefore we are very happy with the new prices - and well done SFC for keeping them sensible. If we supported any of the so-called big clubs we would be paying at least double.

Patrick Bateman Posted 22 May, 2013 Share Posted 22 May, 2013 Interest free plan is great.

Tamesaint Posted 22 May, 2013 Share Posted 22 May, 2013 as a guide my first season ticket when we moved to SMS was £450. 12 years on its only £154 more in a similar area. Pretty fair to be honest. Well done Cortese for fair prices released in a timely fashion. I have a similar story. The tickets for my lad and myself have increased by no more than £150 over 12 years (don't know the exact figure). Mind you ... .for the first few years the prices kept on going down with the renewal discounts and our descent through the divisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMikey Posted 22 May, 2013 Share Posted 22 May, 2013 How come? £525 for a new ST last year, plus £50 for the right to pay in instalments. If I want to pay on instalments this year my ticket will be £544 but i've been saving so hopefully should have enough to pay outright by June.
