owllincoln Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Not an issue for students but why the staff? They are paid a salary for doing a job like the rest of us, why should they not pay the full price like the rest of us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oasismark Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 (edited) Not an issue for students but why the staff? They are paid a salary for doing a job like the rest of us, why should they not pay the full price like the rest of us?I guess people who are gonna get a season ticket will already have one now, so its all about selling those extra empty seats with anyone.£10 to the club and 2 full seats is better that nothing.£40 is too much to for me to take 6 year old daughter to a game, but £10 + pop and crisps, i can manage.

swfc261279 Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Sure that LS said there would be no "offers" this season, that's what swayed me to renew my season ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 The missus is a student, not at Sheffield, I pay full price for her. She has an adult members card.Does this apply to all students or just Sheffield ones? How would I get it changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul.. Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 The £5 seats are "partial restricted view seats". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buxtongent Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 can see the reasoning behind Student Discount tickets, but university STAFF?I suppose that even the chap who cleans the bogs can claim for one.These people are in paid employment and as such can afford to PAY for their tickets.I appreciate that I only pay a discounted ticket as an OAP but this has to be found from my pension and savings, and for years I paid the FULL rate.I think this is one where Lee has shot himself in the foot IMODisagree with it STRONGLY.
