The thing is, these are not the prices for next year. These are Early Bird prices.

So, the club is forcing people to take a gamble - not only on which league we'll be playing in, but how many games they'll get for their money and that the club isn't about to go belly up again and leave them with nothing.

Especially given the fact that this "offer" is being run at the back to school time of year when most families budgets are either depleted from a summer holiday or have got school supplies to pay out for for the kids going back in September.

Last year Chalmers promised that season ticket prices would NOT go up for this season. But he got around that promise by only offering the lower price on another Early Bird offer which didn't advertise it's end date until the 11th hour.

Given the crap that the supporters of this once great club have been through, I don't think it's unfair to question the current clubs motives especially when it seems that they're happy to move the goal posts when it suits them.

The early bird runs until the end of next month doesn't it?
The announcement on the league structure is happening within the next two weeks so that leaves you plenty of time to decide.

Yes, plenty of time. However, on the strength of today's performance, I don't think I'll bother paying £225 for League 1 rugby if it's all the same to you.

I bet there was a big queue at the ticket office after today’s performance....

Last regular season game is on the 23rd September (Hemel at home).

Assuming the Bulls are in the Playoffs and the Early Bird Deadline is indeed 30th September as Mr. "In The Know" says, that would mean the Playoff Semi Final will likely be the day of the deadline and the Final will be AFTER it. So people would need to make a decision on whether to buy a season ticket at the lower (but still quite high) prices and risk still being in League 1, or to wait to see if they get promotion and pay even more.

I noticed this too. I suspect they'll end up extending the early bird deadline, depending on what this league structure announcement brings...

Wonder if the Worky players had also read our launch and Mr Chalmers talking about what we need for the Championship.. maybe they fancy a crack at promotion too? You'd have to say they look a good bet for taking the 2nd promotion spot via the play offs right now.

selling 2019 season tickets. Halifax, York, Featherstone, Widnes etc... are already selling season tickets for next year.

Season Tickets are Not on sale @ Halifax

Mick Gledhill to be incorrect... NEVER. i won't hear a word of it.

Of that list I know for definite that Fev aren't. You're making stuff up again.....
+
'fax don't appear to be selling
York's are £169 whatever division
Widnes £200 for potentially SL

Edit: Removed my own comment. Too harsh and honestly out of order.

Charming observation from Chalmers greatest fan. Someone who on own admission does not go to matches nor watch transmissions. But hey ho.

I've never been to a Donald Trump rally, but I can still form a confident opinion that he's a nutcase.

Anyway, getting back to topic.

Has anyone on here been and bought a season ticket, or has intention of doing before knowing what league we're going to be in, how many games it covers, or what the price is after the early bird? I know the Bulls tweeted a few people bought them straight away, but I'd be interested to see what kind of numbers have actually stumped up the cash under the current terms.

Unfair.

I've no doubt a few will have bought them regardless. I'm waiting until the end of September as I'm pretty skint at the moment. By then at least I'll also know what league we're in. It's an increase in price but then prices have gone up across the board. Inflation affects everything.

Not if we don't finish top. The playoff final won't have been played by the end of September. The Semi Final would be on the last day in Sep.

We should be glad the malcontent keyboard warrior does not attend matches. I bet he would not dare to say to peoples faces what he spouts on here.

You know what, since Michael's so popular, I'll make an August Resolution (it's like a New Year's one, but you know, in August) to not give him any more stick and keep my opinions of him to myself. I'll try leave off Chalmers quite so much too. Let's say I'm feeling charitable and I was too harsh with the comment last night.


Back on the topic (again). As has been rightly said, you would think if the club do end up in the playoffs, surely the only right thing to do is to extend that early bird deadline until after the playoffs conclude? Whilst some fans will be happy to pay it regardless, I'm sure plenty would be holding off until they know what's happening, and the club will only end up losing out on a lot of potential season tickets by forcing people to make a decision before the playoffs finish.

They might decide to gamble and hope we go up after the deadline so that loads of people pay extra...

I hope we get the promotion but I'll still come to games if we don't. I'm too ingrained in it to stop now, and a match is still a match so I'll be getting a ticket, though I was forced to laugh at the news that, to reserve my seat, I had to renew by late September - if someone buys mine, I'll just get the one next to it....

I must admit the same thought has occurred to me over recent years. Before I stopped going, I used to go in the stand too (physical issues mean I struggle to stand for a full match) and it's been quite a few years since there was a lack of space in the stand to make it an issue if someone else gets your seat! Apart from those who have the little name plaques on their seats, I can't see many people being that bothered if they have to sit in a different one next year.

That would be a really sh*tty thing for the club to do.

Lol, the little name tags lasted about a season before they fell off, hell most of them don't even have the numbers on now!

I won't be buying mine any time soon. If they sell it then I will bare my arrse on the town hall steps, as I need radar to detect the nearest people in my section in the middle.
