Maybe they could offer something like a ticket that gets you into all 19 home league games for the price of 14 PATG games. Call it a season ticket or something like that. As a season ticket holder I'm not going to cry about £7. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuctifano Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 (edited) Adult Season ticket = £308 PATG = £22 308/22 =14 Home games in a normal season =19 (we had 20 last season, didn't see season ticket holders greeting about that). Season ticket holders lose out by £7 for Hamilton game. Edited April 15, 2018 by Fuctifano 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 2 hours ago, jagsfan57 said: 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 I do have a season ticket. If it was an extravagant price that was miles higher than anywhere else in Scottish football, then I most likely wouldn't pay it. But that's not what I meant. The club benefits far more from the full purchase of a ST in the preseason, so if it's not a totally ridiculous price, then I'm completely happy doing that, regardless of whether I make all 19 games or miss 5 (and therefore lose "value"). When you consider Fuctifano's post above, and that there's always a form of deal in place at some point (whether it's a half ST, Xmas deal or this current post-split one), when you break things down the "value" element of a Partick Thistle season ticket is pretty irrelevant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuctifano Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Fair enough, I wasn't aware of the 3 game package offer but that's *still* cheaper to buy a season ticket. And even if it wasn't, as other people have said you get other benefits with a ST. I fail to see how the club are "not looking after their loyal supporters".. 16 x £22 + £45 post split package = £397. In fact it would be more than that I'm sure as games vs the arse cheeks are £25 PATG (I think, I don't know as I have a season ticket). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to disagree, but the value element to me obviously is relevant. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be commenting on it.I am also pretty sure that if I calculated how much per game I paid with ST compared to patg matches I attended I have paid more with the ST. That doesn’t encourage bulk buying. If there is always a “deal” during the season, the club should make that clear at the outset. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness to the club, clearly the point of the season ticket is that you'll attend all, or the vast majority, of games. In that situation, you're much better off getting the season ticket rather than PATG. That you've bought one when you can't attend all the matches, and have known from the outset that you can't, and therefore the saving is being undercut by this deal isn't really on the club. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read my 1st post on this again, you will see that I factored in missing 4 games before deciding to buy the ST. If the club say at the time of selling the ST that there are going to be 2 LC matches at say £15, 4 league matches at £25, 12 at £22 and 3 at £15, then everyone can make the relevant decision whether they want to buy or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 You can get every home league game for £20 with a fan card. Then take offers on top of that. Why don't you do that and stop greeting about season ticket prices? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagfox Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I'm looking into getting a statue of John Lambie commissioned. Good idea or bad idea? Flags almost complete and still £2000 with the club.

professor challenger Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Sorry but its not going to happen. Cast in bronze, commission an artist and the get permission from the council......hugely expensive. If I remember correctly the Lobey Dosser statue in Woodlands Road cost a five figure sum which came from extensive public donations. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I remember my season ticket getting me into all home League Cup league stage games. Pretty decent. On the subject of STs / reduced tickets prices for PATG. It's got to be a good thing surely, I don't blame anyone not wanting to purchase a season ticket, I usually question why I do this at least once a season. If offering deals gets more money and more people into the ground then great, all for it. Edited April 16, 2018 by thistledo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
