Guest away day owl Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 After 10 yrs with season tickets and watching rubbish football for most of it, now the good times are here and i'm struggling to find the dosh for 3 re newals at the min..gutted so any extension would be welcome...:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest intercity0wl Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 (edited) Can't believe i'm having to say this, but I wasn't being entirely serious when I called those who haven't yet bought ST's scrubbers. Also, I asked for the other thread to be deleted because I realised posting it without facts was uncalled for - but I will probably post it again later when I have the permission of the person affected to post her claims. If it so offended you, then I apologise profusely. Oh dear... Dont appologise Kivo, your posts are just as valid as the usually angry reactions they get from Me. the highlighted bit of this latest post from you has got exactly the same reaction in my head, why would you want to post something again that we both know wont do the club any favours, and has infact been poo pood as a nothing event by others on here who were present WHY. As for the scrubbers bit, a simple smilie at the end would have avoided any confusion, and as for your idea i personally have no problem with it, although i know many would, and would have that problem big style, maybe an offer of just a very small increase £15.00 for the next seven days would be better, before the full rise is applied after that.

Guest on the band wagon Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 think we will see a rise of 20% much more would be pushing it a bit I know football appears to work outside the real world of finance but in the economic mess we are in anything going up 20% would be frowned upon unless its hot pasties !!!!

Guest JoeTheOwl Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 That would be a great idea but I would probably do it for current season ticket holders who have not bought one yet and maybe a slight increase for new season tickets? Wow first post be kind x This. I'll be renewing mine regardless of the price increase but would be nice for a temporary price freeze for renewals. (Didn't renew early due to being an idiot) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the person involved didn't see it as a nothing event. And I believe her. I'll agree to not post on here what is claimed to have happened, but I know she's reporting it to the club - as a big Wednesdayite she wouldn't do that for no reason. We'll leave it there.

Agree it was a nothing situation which has been said on here and in various other places. The thing is people are getting blamed for something they haven't done. I'm not mentioning any names but it was all sorted out with the 2 players in question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Triplej2 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 How about giving the early birds a cup tie voucher and a teener voucher for the club shop, I'd settle for that if they freeze the prices for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fro5tie Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 is it possible to go into the stadium to pick out a seat? im ridiculously tall and would want to find one with decent leg room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
33 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 How about...? If the club don't want to consider putting on sale at pre-deadline prices, which seems to not be an issue to most who have renewed. I can see their point, as they were clear prices were going to go up. They could offer the incentive of inclusive cup games at the new price point and include this for those that have already renewed. Cup games are generally low ticket prices, so I would be surprised if costs are anything other than just covered. Would probably generate bigger cup attendances, which may offer some recompense with other revenue streams? Not sure how much of an incentive it would be to prospective ST holders, but given they aren't likely to hold prices, might be worth a look...?

Guest christheowl Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 season tickets will be going up by 25% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest barrieowl Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 What ever extra you have to pay you have aready saved by not going up through play offs. 3 games would have cost more than a season ticket and you would have had to find that money in 2 weeks . Dig deep and get them before we sell out UP THE OWLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cross owl Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Just stick them on for a week or two at the early bird price like has been said . If it attracts an extra few who won't pay the higher price but love a bargain then all is good :-) if we get 20 thou a home game including the walk ups without the away following included all will be good . Least next season we won't have to be faced with a transit van and a motorbike worth of away fans . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr Blue Sky Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I renewed our season tickets early using the owls. Mastercard, so I get interest free credit for a few months. For me, the concern is at some stage I am going to have to pay a one off large amount. I have managed to do this for the last few years now, but it is a worry and a strain on the family budget. What I would like to see is some kind of scheme where you could pay continuously by direct debit for your seat each month or week. I suppose that this would not be a season ticket as such. This would mean that people could commit at anytime, pre, post or during the season. The scheme could stop people taking advantage by adjusting the initial payment so people can't attend a large number of matches in one month and cancelling their direct debit. Just a thought for getting around the budgeting problem for fans and it would help the club with cash flow. They could also simply apply an annual percentage increase to peoples direct debit. The only down side is that the club could lose seat money if form slumped, but how could that happen with Milan at the helm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thornebranch Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I know Milan stated that, after the sale of ST's was suspended in March, that if we won promotion, tickets would go back on sale at a higher price. While I agree with his thinking - wouldn't it be great if, for just a week, ST's went back on sale at the original price to get fans back in the buying mood while the buzz is still around. I got mine in January, and I wouldn't mind one bit - if it meant we pushed past 15,000 sales by the end of the week, it'd be absolutely fantastic. hope so missed the deadline due to uncertenty over finances (new born wifes redundency) had a season ticket for 18 out of 21 season would like to think i could get one at original prices but will say this quitely i am willing to pay a little more still all the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devon_owl Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I know it was wishful thinking but I really hope the club will consider the weekend season ticket option. I just can't afford the normal season ticket with the travel too and from Cardiff every home game, it has near bankrupted me over the last three years but I would try and renew if i was thrown a lifeline!

This already exists doesn't it? you get an interest free loan to pay for the ticket and make a monthly payment. Its what i do, works out at £40 per month for 10th months...
