Topic: ST renewals

[jwilstroplfc]

We registered interest July but picked seats august 8th I think it was

[TheKid.]

OK, cheers. It's such a pain in the a***
 Yep, 7 times in a row yesterday. Its my saved card too.

I tried adding the card as a new one but it still failed.
In the end I had to use my debit card (which annoyed me as I missed out on lots of points)

Thought it was just me that it kept failing on! When I added the saved card as a new one though it did work for me

[Shanklygates]

Lucky you

[swoopy]

It’s a really tricky one. Course I feel gutted for those who have lost their ST by mistake. No way of getting that back in a two or three lifetimes. But the club does send plenty of emails and there is an almost two month window. Tricky one for sure.

as you say i received several reminders as do every year now and you know that you have to renew every year not like its a shock. tricky and i feel for the lad but not sure what else the club could do

Did a quick search for this info but came up with nothing. Does anyone know what’s the policy for transferring ownership of a ST? My uncle isn’t getting any younger and is talking about giving up his ST at the end of next season. This ticket’s been in the family since the 50s when my grandad bought it, then passed down to my uncle. We are very keen for the ticket to stay in the family. As it’s a concession for a pensioner we would need to go back to the full rate and ideally change the name to mine. I know theee was an amnesty a few years ago but I swear I read the club has a rule that it can transfer to family members in certain circumstances. Does anyone know?

Club no longer allows the transfer of a Season Ticket except in extreme circumstances such as a ST holder passing away, even then it can only be transferred to an immediate family member, son daughter etc.. , each request is dealt with on merit.
Been this way since Fan Update a couple of years ago.

[Roy Cropper]

i cant see anything about the distributing/forwarding tickets rules for the forth coming season. Will it continue, will it include cup games, will it include or impact season tickets too?

Thanks mate. This is disappointing. So if an old head who’s knocking on and struggling with health can’t get to the game any more decides to give it up, it goes back to the club regardless of any other circumstances like having been going for decades? They physically have to die to be able to keep the ticket in the family? Seems really unfair…

I understand your feelings on this but with over 20,000 people on the Season Ticket Waiting List , some for over 20 years , they probably might not agree

The perception of a season ticket needs to change

It's not his ticket to do as he pleases with nor is it his seat or his family's seat - its the club agreeing to rent the seat to him for league games the following year.
If he isn't using it, it should go back to the club to give to someone who's been waiting 20+ years for that seat, not to a relative/friend of the family who's skipped the queue

Should do what united do, put a minimum attendance on the holder too

But a member with full credits would lose everything too if they stop going for whatever reasons...

Been wondering this as well, has anything been confirmed at all yet? They need to do it before the bulk sales registration period next week if not as it might affect games people register interest for.

[The_Rebel]

is anyone getting the fear yet of any potential price increases? was announced march 30th last year and with it being a 4 day weekend could potentially be announced tomorrow? I'm not expecting anything other than an increase to be honest

I renewed mine on 1 April last year, as I had a cashback offer on my credit card. Expecting a rise as it would have been announced by now.

Definitely wouldn't surprise me, was reading this piece on the FSA about the supporters groups hitting back at rises and fully expect us to follow suit and increase as many other clubs are...

[disgraced cake]

Last year they went up by 1 or 2 % and I can see it being the same this year. A completely unnecessary move, there's just no need to put what people are paying any higher. It'd be the easiest PR win ever to just keep them the same.

I wish alongside the campaign to keep away tickets £30 a similar thing had happened with home games. We're all watching the same games and they should cost no more than that, it'd put some money back in people's pockets during an already very tough time. This should have been considered even more with a whole host of costly new hospitality tickets becoming available in the new stand.

I would love a flat rate to be applied irrespective of stand but they would never do that.. they circumvented the £77 members ticket prices by abolishing Cat A/B/C

[gazzalfc]

I expect a rise. The club did freeze ticket prices for quite a while before this season.

They will justify it in their usual way. Inflation is where it is, energy rates and commodity costs are up etc.

Whilst FFP wont trouble us any time soon with the TV deal and next season we will be a CL club again, we do need to be sustainable. The new stand with the extra hospitality will help pad out those numbers

I think anything between 1-3%. Anything more will be harsh

Should be reminded that Spurs have put theirs up 6% and scrapped their concession ST's

[The_Rebel]

I'm quite lucky really my ST is in the Kop so mine is the 2nd cheapest in the ground - as others have said I get the whole reasoning behind price increases, inflation, more staffing costs with new stand etc - I am expecting maybe £1-3 a game increase on average maybe about £50 more each. Does make you think though what is even the point if its small amounts for bad PR and earache, as the Bayern president said you argue over £1-2m transfer fees for five minutes in negotiations.

It may pay for 60 seconds of Mo's wages in a day but for the common man it's all relative when prices go up. I await with eager eyes...

Spurs have got that massive stadium debt to cover so I am not surprised by their increase in prices. I have no idea what FSG will be thinking but since the UK public is being treated as a cash cow in other sectors, maybe they will do likewise. Our house insurance renewal arrived today and despite no claims, it's gone up by 50% 

[nayia2002]

I think, unfortunately they will increase next season as there's been no increase last 5 seasons if not mistaken?

[ABJ]

It increased at the start of the current season.

[AR48]

I’m hoping the club recognise the enormous potential left in this season and freeze tickets as a sign of goodwill to fans. Protests could have the potential to shift focus away from the team.

Nothing out yet...Would be nice if they give us to the end of May to settle it. Normally always the 24th...

[Drinks Sangria]

What’s the possibility of moving where you sit when it comes to renewals? I’m in the lower Kenny and the atmosphere isn’t fantastic, always feels quite negative at least where I sit.

How does it work, the seats people have returned become available on a first come basis for those renewing?

[Shanklygates]

Think you have to ask and then they'll get back to you when the window opens

Get a GP letter saying you have a bad back etc and are struggling to sit in the small seats or something of that ilk. They will almost certainly move you on medical grounds then, if you just go up to them and ask for a move without a decent reason high chance you will just get told a simple no

Interesting. I mean, I’m not going to do that because it’s a waste of the NHS’ time but I thought it might be kind of a general sale on returns etc. Is the bloke sat next to me going off his box at the linesman 10 times per match not good enough reason? And it is tight, every game there’s knees in my back and mine are in the person in fronts’ back, I’m 5’10/11 so by no means a giant and it’s tight even for me.

KH, a few rows from the front. Tend to be surrounded by Thai tourists with a handful of ST holders.

I'm in kj 

[alx]

This year i had KM block for the autocups... on one side it was nice to be in the front rows, on the other side no atmosphere no chanting, like beeing at a theatre play.
Other mates went for UAR and said they had a blast.

Mines in KH but up in Row 30 which is decent view wise and there some decent people around me, mostly STH’s but my biggest issue is I’m 6”2 and it’s so cramped it’s ridiculous, a few years ago I didn’t mind so much but the older I get the harder it is

I moved from lower KD yrs ago to lower MS.  Just made a request and paid the difference (MS was slightly higher price).  Bonus was it was before the new MS was built so got to choose a seat in the new MS.  Club may be more stringent on requests now, although I don’t see why.  Just make the request and see what happens.

[The_Rebel]

not that I'm in any rush whatsoever to part with nearly £800 but I'm a little surprised we have not heard anything yet - must be soon surely

Worrying they are trying to work out how to spin an increase!

[Redcase]

Details on now. 2 per cent increase
