Midlife Crisis Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Great news for PATG fans. Not so good for season ticket holders who handed their cash over in the summer. What benefit do we get for having suffered so much during the season? Nothing. Taken for granted again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An average cost per game entitled to watch that is still better than the reduced price. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midlife Crisis Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Sorry - had miscounted the number of home games on the season ticket this season. I obviously started drinking too early today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Koop Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 The club are damned if they do, damned if they don’t. We hear this gripe from season ticket holders every season. As complaints go, it's fair, not petty or trivial. We've all been done over this season, come to think of it.Damned? I agree. I'll bet the season ticket renewal vibe isn't good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcat1990 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I didn't renew my season ticket this year due to a variety of reasons but the idea of paying £22 to watch our current team was a hard sell. Lowering to £15 has got me full "rednyella till I die/#wegotthis". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie Of The Month Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 While we're complaining about people receiving discounts that I don't get it's time to say kids getting in for free is a disgrace. and carers getting in along with disabled fans for nothing? Are we running a charity or something? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle_do_nicely Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) I didn't have a season ticket in our top 6 season due to working mainly at weekends. I've got a season ticket for this season since I've been a full-time wageslave since about May of last year. tbh I'd hold back on criticising the club for how they handle season ticket pricing/deals until they make a decision, which doubtless won't be until they know what league we're in next season (Captain Obvious here but less attractive games, differing numbers of home games, losing some of the better players in the squad to be replaced with, say, John Baird and the like). edit: although I'd work on the assumption they'll be pretty much the same, best case scenario being some great deals at Pizza Express chucked in or whatever. I'm probably more likely to get a season ticket for the 2nd tier if we get relegated than if we stay up, provided it's priced reasonably (a heavy discount for current st holders pls!); if we stay up I can't really be arsed with games against Aberdeen, Celtic or Rangers* anymore, which eats into the savings you make from getting a ST, so I'd be more likely to just be PATG and pick n' choose.

H Wragg Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Clubs all over the place do deals now again for pay at the gate customers, season after season. If you’re that desperate to take advantage of said deals just ditch the season ticket and fill yer boots.**You’ll probably be quids doon in the long run but hey ho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagsfan57 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I renewed this season knowing that I was going to miss 4 games, which made it just about even vs patg. To then be undercut at the tail end of the season is a bit hard to swallow and will make me think twice about renewing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 While we have such a low occupancy on match days I'm not fussed if the club do deals to bring in new or lapsed fans. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 ^This I don’t really buy a season ticket to get “value”. If supporting a Scottish team was about value for money then nobody would ever go. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a shortsighted attitude. The club ask us to buy ST’s so they can budget better for the coming season. If the club consistently devalue that, then fans won’t buy them at the start of the season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a ST? If the club increased it to say £400 would you still buy one.If you patg, would you still go if the price was £30,£40,£50?I would say everybody puts a value on what it is worth to go to the games 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
