sorry to resurrect this - but I posted the following a week or so ago to make sure everyyone knew exactly what the stance was - the offer should have read something like:
Pledge £100 now - if we reach 2,500 tickets before 30/9 that's all you'll pay - if we don't then we will come basck to you for a further £75 and the price for everyone will be £175 from there on. If you don't want to pay the extra £75 we'll give you your £100 back - see how easy it would have been to make this clear? only wakefield etc
Quote ="benny the ball"sorry if this has been covered in the other topics on this subject, and please lock this if it has - but:
I live in Wigan and don't get to the shop much in the close season. I ordered my season ticket on-line a couple of weeks ago and hadn't received it - so rang the shop.
They are not issuing season tickets until November because they are waiting to see if we reach the 2,500 target first.
IF NOT - the season ticket price will be the full price irrespective of when you ordered the ticket - i.e. NO-ONE HAS BOUGHT THEIR SEASON TICKET AT THE OFFER PRICE UNTIL WE REACH THE 2,500 TARGET!
Everyone will be contacted requesting the additional funds if we don;t reach the target - and you will be able to claim your original 'stake' back if you don't want to proceed.
SO JUST FOR CLARITY: Is this what everyone else considers that offer to be?
I work in the banking and communication business - I'm not stupid (honestly) but I believe the wording of our ticket offer to be misleading and I'm not sure how this will look if we miss the target and we then have to go back to everybody for additional funding. Have cash payments been handed over? what about the split payment offer? etc etc.
I made the point to the shop that, to my knowledge, despite a lot of pages of discussion on this tpoic on the message boards - the club do not appear to have used the internet as a medium for correcting any misunderstandings (despite the fact that I'm assured 'anyone who has been into the shop to pay has been told this'.
I've had a season ticket for more years than I care to remember - irrespective of the price I'll be getting one next year - but I've pointed other people at this offer who may very well feel misled in the way we are fufilling this initiative.
Is it just me???????'"
