Price reductions of around 25 per cent for games including Utd and chelski
Seems a bloody good offer
-
Yes. I wonder if it was worth buying a season ticket?
-
I'm thinking the same. Could have got ticket for West Ham for £15, Bolton and Everton had £10 deals so first 3 games you could have got for £35 and now this offer.
-
Makes me wonder, I wasn't going to renew, I was just going to pick and choose games.
-
I think that they're starting to overdo the offers now. I can see it reducing ST sales next season
-
It's certainly a tempting offer and one that I will probably take up. If you consider that you would be paying around £35 for most of those games it's a great deal.
-

Just worrked out that my season ticket works out at 23.68 per game, this offer at 28.33. So I'm still a fiver per game better off.
-
Perhaps us season ticket holders should ask for a 25% refund?
-
They have got some good deals on.
-
My season ticket feels like better value in a fuller ground. My seson ticket feels like rubbish value in a miserable half empty ground.
I buy it for the convenience of turning up to the same seat every week without having to think about it, and for the virtual guarantee of a cup final ticket if we get there.
I actually find coming up with the lump sum for a season ticket more difficult than paying match by match, its alot of money to find all at once, so I don't buy it for the savings, I buy it so that I've got a season ticket.
-
I haven't got a season ticket but go to most games ( work permitting ) I mostly always get a cheaper deal.I've just bought a Chelsea ticket for £ 15 supposedly restricted view from the corner flag.I purchase the family deals regularly.If they didn't do these deals no way could I afford to go at top wack price
-
A season ticket in the North Upper / Holte wings works out at £20 a game so the deals aren't a saving on the price of these games on a ST.
The general consensus on here a few months ago was that the individual ticket prices were set too high so I see the deals as a positive thing.

I'm the same.
It isn't really about getting the best value (I miss enough matches per season to put that in doubt anyway, before even thinking about ticket deals), it is about the fact that I like my seat, and the selection of very funny, miserable bastards I sit amongst.
I actually find coming up with the lump sum for a season ticket more difficult than paying match by match, its alot of money to find all at once,
Can't say I agree on that, though. I did the easy payment thing, four lots of 135 quid (or whatever it was), which made the lump sum easier to swallow, but I would find it much harder to fork out 30-40 quid 19 times during the season, and as a result would probably go a hell of a lot less.
I'd also have to get it past the financial watchdog that is Mrs Walnuts multiple times over the year, rather than just once at ST renewal time.

How many people said that up until getting through to the league cup final? It's worth it just for that, however small the possibility. Actually it's quite possible again, Burnley and subsequent draw permitting.
-
I'm on Holiday for the Blues Game, I may have a got at the Hat-trick option for me and the lad for £100
-
You surely can't knock the club for trying to get people into watch us, and if ST holders are happy, and it seems from on here that the majority are, then it's all good.
-
The club can't win!!!
When the matchday prices were announced there were hundreds of messages on here saying that it was a complete rip-off and the only way to watch the club for a reasonable price was to get a season ticket.
Now they're reducing matchday prices to up the gate on specific games there are hundreds of messages on here saying that season tickets are a rip-off and there's no point getting one.
There are lots of benefits from getting a season ticket, primarily around the convenience of having your own seat, first dibs on major cup games and away matches, cheaper per-game prices. The club aren't going to destroy that value but equally it's better they sell a seat for £15 than not to sell it at all. If you choose to just buy the offer tickets then you run the risk of not being able to get a seat where you want it or not getting one at all for the few games we sell out.

One point 3 of games involved are the shit, united and chelsea . So all 10 this season have been discounted so i reckon this will continue and it will piss st holders off come renewal time. Some bean counter got the pricing well wrong this summer

I wonder if it was done just to put the prices up for away fans? Maybe there needs to be a thread on 'Things we used to mock other clubs for that we now do ourselves' but I think charging 45 quid to away fans is far (far) too high.
-
Got the 5 game package yesterday. 100 quid for the Blackpool, Manure, Chelsea, Arsenal and SHA games in the north stand. Bargain as it saves me 43 quid.
-
For me, it's the convenience of a one off purchase that makes a season ticket attractive, and not having to bother about deciding where to sit for each game.
Reminds of me holiday prices - some people get better deals than others, but take chances on certain things, whereas others pay more and know exactly what they're getting. Hopefully.
