OutByEaster? Posted March 4 Moderator Share Posted March 4 The club has a meeting with the FAB on 27th March to talk through next season's Season Ticket pricing and structure - so with that in mind, It'd be interesting to know peoples thoughts. Will you be renewing? What are you expecting in terms of pricing? What would make the season ticket more attractive to you and what would force you to give it up? What do you think the club could do differently with season ticketing or season ticket holders? What are your feelings on the waiting list and the chances of people on the list getting tickets next year? How much is yours and how much has it gone up over the last couple of seasons? Where do you feel we sit in relation to other clubs and their offer? All of that sort of stuff (and more) please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano & Dalian's Umbrella Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I think that if people are kicked out of their season tickets to make way for more corporate offerings, they should be given first dibs (before the reallocation window) of getting a seat as close to their original seat as possible. Not being given this option would stop me renewing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Stephen_Evans Posted March 4 Popular Post Share Posted March 4 It would be nice to have a pause on the price increases. Like many other thousands, I was there when we were awful. I expect to pay more now things have improved but I don’t want to be taken advantage of. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I will renew because they are like gold dust these days but I don’t understand why people can’t use the resell option. Too often I see empty seats around me even when games are sold out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different thread probably but they deffo need to allow them to be resold as soon as ticket holder decides they can't go 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post nick76 Posted March 4 Popular Post Share Posted March 4 Should be able to nominate one other person at the beginning of the season to go in your place on rare occasions that you can’t go. It’s fine to go through the ticket office when you know well in advance like holidays or work but sometimes on game day life happens and you can’t go but other people in your group can’t either now because they are reliant on you taking them like children and elderly people. You should be able to log into your Avfc account and nominate that person that day, you set at the beginning of the season to go in your place. I get ticket touting and all that but nominating at the beginning of the season up to a max number of games seems like a solution. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Dog Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 There's no way I won't renew next season but I'm incredibly annoyed about losing the Lower Holte before games as part of the 'package' - That always felt like a big deal as part of the ST for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talldarkandransome Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 As a member who will have been to every home game this season with the lad, i would like to be randomly drawn out of a hat for the option to purchase 2 x season tickets.

Too often I see empty seats around me even when games are sold out. I think you’ll find that the empty seat problem is normally related to the lower grounds match day experience. Firstly, they hold back a couple of thousand seats that they hope they will sell to people as part of the lower ground package. Often these don’t sell and then they put them on general sale at the last minute or try and give them away.Then they refuse to put season-ticket holders resale seats on sale until they have sold their own lower ground tickets. So, for example, at the Newcastle game, there were lots of season-ticket holders who wanted to sell their seats and the seats were never put on sale Until the actual day of the game, which was too late.This left empty seats for What should have been a sold-out game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season definitely is. But I’ve seen this for years now. Some season ticket holders must have a lot of money and just can’t be arsed to put it up for resale if can’t go. Or maybe just don’t know they able to. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or don't want to deal with the hoops you have to jump through for a chance of a few hours of your ticket being on sale if Mercury is retrograde. I would like to use my phone for entry and to reassign my seat to someone on my friends list even on the day of the match. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can list for resale, but the tickets can only be sold once the entire stadium is sold out. As a result virtually no mod week games go to resale. OBE, this would be the big change for me. Sort out resale. Let me list my seats (mine and sons) and sell me tickets straight away. When I can't make a game, let me swap my seats online to friends or family. The phone lines are just too inconvenient. I'll renew, I'm anticipating 15% increases. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted March 4 VT Supporter Share Posted March 4 They should offer longer interest free direct debits. Most people will just plan for that monthly outgoing. Increases can be smoothed out with longer payments. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I can't make a game, let me swap my seats online to friends or family. The phone lines are just too inconvenient. Friend of mine is a spurs ST holder, he’s missed loads of games this yr and can easily sell his ticket every game. He gets 1/19th of the ST price back every game missed. We should do the same, we have the demand if it was easy to do. Just as an FYI, you can get transferred to friends by emailing the club a few days in advance, they normally reply quickly. But yes it would be so much easier if I could click a button on the website (which we all know is and has been rubbish for yrs). 9 minutes ago, sidcow said: They should offer longer interest free direct debits.

You can get 8 month interest free which is pretty good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brommy Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 6 minutes ago, Deano & Dalian's Umbrella said: That's exactly the same as our re-sale system isn't it? No. The club give you 80% of the 1/19th of the season ticket cost and only if they can resell it on for the match day price, which is obviously higher than season ticket average game cost. For category A games, it's near 100% profit increase for the club. I've no issue with the club making an increased profit by reselling at the higher match day price, but I think the ST holder should get the full value of the ticket (ST cost/19), even if the refund was limited to say 3 matches per season before the 20% charge was triggered. This would prevent people buying STs just for a few games, knowing they'd get a full refund for all the other games. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
