Depends where you want to sit. Possibly the Lower North will be the only area where it won't be a doddle to move to a better seat come kick off.

I've felt like doing that a few times this season. But not to a better seat.

On a positive note they slashed the North stand lower seats back to prices of 2007
Same price as this year £360.

£530, that's about £7 an attack!

When will they realise the only people who can afford to pay for something five months before they need it are the ones who will be out on the pitch.

I can remember people on here falling over themselves to pay upfront on the day they've gone on sale.

So if it gets into july and i have not renewed (C3) Trinity lower, the club ring me up and try to persuade me to renew, are they really going to argue with me if i refuse to pay the extra£10.  I doubt it.  Under the supply and demand rules of commodity selling the club are in a very weak position regarding season tickets, they may need to take what they can get.

We haven't even used this season's welcome pack so don't want next season's thanks.
Same here. I don't even know what I'd have got

I used the free pie and drinks vouchers. I gave the programme discount vouchers to my mate who always buys one (and which I borrow on rare occasions to  check something).

Didn't look at what else was in the box.

Add me to the list that wants this scrapped.

Hello Mr.TLP this is Nicola Keye, would you like a season ticket for next season?
Err, not really they are too expensive.
But we have a special offer, you just pay what you think it's worth.
In that case I'll have half a dozen plus a cheque for £2000.

I don't think it does any harm, but I do think the club see it as having more value than it does. When I got my call from the TO the other week (see that thread, wherever it has gone) they spent a while asking my what I thought of the welcome pack and what I used etc etc, and you could tell they seem to think it is a great selection of offers.

The only one i used was the money off thing in the shop, and i only used the shop as it was my godson's birthday, which is the only time I ever use the shop every year.

Having said that, I can see why kids might think it is nice to have (in fact, that one with the DVD with the military music the other year was quite impressively done), but if you don't buy food or drink in the ground, the vouchers have pretty much no impact on the attractiveness of the ST or otherwise.

We're not the only club releasing season tickets this early. When I was watching the fulham game at the weekend their advertising boards around the pitch were advertising their 2012/2013 season ticket sales too.

With regards the "pack" we got last year, I've not used a single thing. Not the vouchers, stickers. Was there a DVD too? I can't remember. I haven't even used AVTV. I registered for it but never used it.

For me, I'm interested in my season ticket. Not all the add ons that the club think will help justify the money we spend on it. Give me my ticket and entertaining football is all I want. The rest then would follow. No need to entice me with vouchers as if it's a good game and you're then in the mood, you stay back and have some beers. At the moment I turn up late and leave bang on full time not wanting to hang around. Plus the food in the holte end is that shockingly bad, that even giving me a voucher for a free burger won't make me have one again. They are vile.
