Season Tickets - 2022/23

[Dogtanian]

Do season ticket holders also purchase a membership, is there any point to that?

The reason I ask is that I managed to get a season ticket this year after being on the waiting list, but unbeknown to me my membership was on auto renew so they have took another £42 out today so now I have both.

Is it worth emailing them to request a refund for the membership you think or is there any advantage for having both?

I used to have 'Claret Membership' in order to get the (limited) priority on tickets. I was also on the ST waiting list.

The Claret Membership renewed automatically last summer and then a few days later I was advised that I could apply for a ST - which I did. I emailed to cancel the Claret Membership and they refunded me in a few days. Actually decent service. UTV.

Some stuff earlier in the thread on this.

Anyone have the support email address - It's like trying to find rocking horse poo on their website!

[EDIT]
Got through to twitter AVFC support (who are REALLY good).... For anyone else in the same boat, the email address for membership support is: membership.help@avfc.co.uk

Eye watering price rises.

I’ve got claret memberships for 2 other family members ( well - one junior & one claret) & I wouldn’t be able to get tickets for other people without them.

When I want a ticket for my nephew, I use the adult claret membership to get a seat with him, as that window opens before the one for extra seats for ST holders. Then the other adult has my usual seat!

Once the relevant window for members is open they wil let you swap your ST seat for the game to sit next to the person you're buying a ticket for - so in theory you should all be able to sit together.  That's what I do if my daughter wants to come.

New match day pricing proves again they are driving out the working person and families.
We won't sell out all matches like we didn't last season.

The club have lost sight of reality and I'm disgusted to be honest .

You still paid it though, so you can't be that disgusted. Or will we see your seat empty as you picket the ground in protest first game of the season?

They didn't sell out some matches as the away sections weren't always filled that's the reality which the club have a full grasp of.

Don't get sucked into the whoppers trolling.

The prices are very high, although the club will turn round and say our top price is still 50% cheaper than Fulham. While that might be true, it just indicates the problem is systemic.

Fulham have something like 2,000 matchday tickets available.

Nope we had two games in December that did not sell out in HOME section . Will happen again with those prices.

That's probably more to do with Covid than ticket prices. I didn't attend the games around xmas for fear of getting infected and missing out on xmas with the family - Not like I missed out on anything as we were utter garbage too!

Thise prices are punchy.  It is sad we've got to the state where football match tickets are as much as a decent gig ticket.  The ridiculous wage escalation really has ruined the game.

That said, I'd guess the prices are fairly average for the PL?

Whwnnthe junior membership window opens I can only buy tickets for cubs and members. It opens online at 5pm and there is no option to switch my season ticket online so I use the claret membership to buy whilst there’s still a decent selection of seats, then switch it with my season ticket when the office opens.
