Season tickets 2012/13

[glasses]

I'm not renewing as my wife and I are expecting our first child in April, so wont be affording it for a while. I'll be at the odd cheap game when I can afford to, but of course my priorities are going to shift somewhat from spending money going to watch 22 overpaid blokes kicking a bag of wind about, to having a family and all that comes with it. Still, I'm looking forward to starting it all up again in 5-10 years time and bringing my boy along with me. Who knows, we might be good again then!

Good luck with it Glasses although number 2 will be around by then if you follow my pattern and my boy is a lot less interested than my girl! He is 4 and has time to learn, but only wants to go to Villa if he can play.

Does anyone seriously believe they could take money off the price of the season ticket if they didn't provide the welcome pack? The buy one get one free vouchers are there to make you "buy one". The free pie is in the hope that once you've tried one, next time you are at the game you might want another pie. The £5 for the shop is in the hope that you'll go in and buy something for £15, or decide your £45 replica shirt has suddenly become a bargain now you can get £5 off, and so they make another sale.
The fact that so many here are saying that they haven't even used ay of it just goes to prove that at worst it costs the club nothing. At best they make more sales on the back of it.
I can't honestly believe anyone is genuinely saying "do away with all these freebies and make my season ticket cheaper". The welcome pack is meant to get more money out of you whilst providing some kind of "feelgood factor", and on that level it probably works for many people. They can't give you the money instead, it doesn't really exist.

I renewed today. Got moved from K5 to P8 quite easily. I only went in to the ticket office to buy a ticket for the Chelsea match for my friend. I asked about renewing on Monday over the 'phone and they said I could do it there and then. Sorted!

We're moving to there from the middle trinity.  Jon sorted it yesterday.  What row and seat number you got, legion?

Between the four of us we've saved £1,000.  It had to be done.

I was in P5 today: fantastic view.

If P8 is anything like the experience I had today, you should consider wrapping yourself in bandages and  playing a mummy. I have seen more life in a bottle of pop.

We're used to it.  It's not much different in the middle trinity.

We just decided that we spend enough on football and any saving has to be done.  Thoses seats were too good to refuse at that price.

The added advantage is that we have access to the Lions Club before and after the game and at half time.

Makes good sense.

I'm sure my ticket has gone down in price.

Moved to P8 myself yesterday. One phone call and saved £75 (moving from North Stand Lower) . Ok I have had to pay earlier than I would have normally done but on £295 I wouldn't  have got that £75  in interest by June 1 etc. £15.52 a game =  Bargain !!

I renewed in K7 yesterday.  Regarding the free pack, I did appreciate the free AVTV subscription as it was something I'd been paying for separately up to then.  They've been showing some live reserve games recently, if that continues then I'll appreciate it even more.  It was a decent game last night.

Are you Somerset Lions Bob? Glad you will be joining us in P8.

Fair play to those renewing already, I am envious of your commitment to the club although I can't say I'm envious of you having the ticket itself.

We've already agreed not to renew if McLeish stays. This season has felt like a prison sentence we've had to see out one game at a time.

My mate got up early doors on Monday, and we are in P8. What a snip at £295 for a season it equals £15.50 per match. Given that a Category AA in the same seats per game are at present £47 its a brilliant offer.

Never look a gift horse in the mouth.
