You have to buy both

Relatively between passes going on sale and christmas youre right. After then the VAT goes up so theyre correct.

Guess the different sales dates and the VAT changing make it difficult for FC Marketing to come up with a slogan. On reflection maybe they could have simply said:
Season passes on sale. 2010 prices are......

Safer to not even make comparisons.

indeed

Its funny cos the £10 rise for passes and the £15 dd charge if i did that is less than i would spend on beer at 1 home game. Some people need to put it into perspective i think instead of just moaning at the club again.

I'm assuming they will add the new vat amount just as they reduced it last year

I'm assuming they wouldnt. Dont know why. Guess they probably should.

If there was not a £15 charge then who would pay for a ticket in one go?

It allows people to chose to pay that way but if there was no charge then most people would pay that way and the business would have a heck of an admin headache.

It is something I won't use as I will pay by debit card to avoid even the £2.50 per pass charge of credit card.

I think the charge is a bit high but less steep than say the charges Ryan air apply to credit card and debit card payments.

As the prices are the same as the prices this time last year barring the adult tickets which have the stated £10 rise on them then I can't see anything changing once the VAT returns to normal.

might as well charge 50 quid a game then

so do we get a reduction now then?

there either cheaper this year, more expensive next year or the club pockets the extra vat this year or pays it next year.

not that i give a toss as it's less than i spend on beer

Well if you look the DD scheme needs to be started by 28th of november and passes are sent out after 2nd payment.

The club could have made payments be taken on the 1st of each month so the pass would have been paid in full before the season starts and they could be sent out when paid in full.

With a simple clause stating non payment results in pass not being sent and no refund given.

At the end of the day though the charge is most likely there to deter people from using the DD route. Better for the club to have all the money to hand straight away rather than waiting for it.

TBF I'm not bothered about the couple of quid extra, it's all money in my club after all.

My gripe is the line that they have only put the adult passes up which is incorrect and misleading.

Why would he want to?? I've heard he like the wrong end of a pool cue
up his arus!!

Does anyone know how you qualify for the 'Youth Loyalty Scheme', as I am 17 now, so last season had a junior pass, but this year would have to buy a youth/student pass, which is more than double the price. There is a youth loyalty pass available in the south stand for £80, but it doesn't say anywhere what you have to do to get one?

I'm OK with the rise, nothing much stays the same price for over two years.

£195 for my South Stand pass is pretty good value I think.

You could always go to Rovers

£260 to sit behind the posts
£221 to stand

Oooh Wilf - you are dreadful!

“I am guaranteed a ticket for the big cup games, but more than that, I get to keep my seat in the East stand, sat amongst friends.”

They've got Graeme Horne to pay for now, you know.

Missed my point i think.

The difference in total due to the vat only equates to about a pint anyway doesnt it.

shows the last time you bought one then

We are not worth £24 a game, simple as.

Same for next season. £24 a game is a disgrace.

2 pints then. I dont know, im usually too drunk to count my change.

Unless your in club rovers
£270 to sit
its then £239 to stand

wonder why
