Season Tick Renewal - What's Going On!

[TFF]

*Terms and conditions apply

As always, you'll get first dibs on your own seat for home ties. Away matches would be decided on an individual basis.

[Royal Lady]

5) You'll get priority booking and ticket prices for Cup matches!*

If they are cup games, how do you get "priority ticket prices"? Do they mean ST holders get cheaper tickets?

[Terminal Boardom]

Interesting - does no 5 mean priority will not just be on points but ST and points as it is not just home cup matches?

Eight reasons to play your part:
1) We guarantee your seat for every home league game.

2) Adult Season Ticket Holders get at least 6 games FREE, Concessions pay just £10 per game and fans aged 16 and under pay less than £4.50 a game.

3) All those aged 17 and over will receive a £20 voucher to spend at Reading FC*

4) Those aged 16 and under will get a free Young Royals membership - including a £10 Megastore voucher and ID Card.

5) You'll get priority booking and ticket prices for Cup matches!*

6) You will receive an exclusive new design entry card - only given to Season Ticket holders.

7) Receive offers from the Club and our partners throughout the season

Finally - but most importantly - you'll be part of the team! We thank you for your support and look forward to seeing you at Madejski Stadium for the 2011/12 season.

Assuming that the club acquire sufficient tickets should we be drawn away to a big club again.

no, they mean they hold your seat open for you till a certain date, ie you have priority

And they did something this season where early booking for ST Holders was cheaper. West Brom?

And Northampton.

How does that mean "priority ticket prices"?

[Svlad Cjelli]

See the post above yours and the one above that.

[T.R.O.L.I.]

Three second memory? SeniLOLity kicking in obviously.

[Royal Lady]

See the post above yours and the one above that.

Oh I see - so we'll get cheaper cup tickets then? How does that work though - don't the opposing side moan because they could have made more money. Or something?

Not if the reciprocal saving is passed onto their STHs under the same terms. As long as both clubs agree they can do what they like with cup pricing- within the boundaries set by the FL/FA rules.

[Harpers So Solid Crew]

Also the cheaper ticket has so far meant that standard tickets for non ST have seemed to have been more expensive. Wasn't WBA £20 for non ST holders and £15 for ST holders?

Whereas previous seasons it was about £15 for all seats.

[brendywendy]

any one of you lot changing their mind about your principled stand over season ticket renewals/club spending/performances yet?

[ZacNaloen]

Well...I still don't have any money, but I'm considering breaking the bank to pay for it

[TBM]

That's a bit off - paying for next year before we've even finished this year. It's like asking you to pay for your renewal of car tax 6 weeks before it's due.

As it goes, our season is over anyway.

[Hoop Blah]

Not really to be honest bendy.

As much as the results have been outstanding of late I don't think the performances, entertainment value or the way I perceive to have been treated have really changed.

Do I want to watch us in the Premier League again? Not sure. I'm quite happy to take or leave it to be fair as it just magnifies all the bad things about modern football. Sure most games are bigger occassions and it's great to watch us against some of the worlds best players, and that makes for a better quality of football than some of the dross I've watched this year.

The only things making me contemplate changing my mind are that I'll miss having a season ticket for my team (I would still plan on watching games, just not as many as there's a risk the number would keep dwindling), I'll be a bit gutted if someone else nicks my seat, and how funny it will be to see the steam coming out of Madjeski's ears if we go up and the management have given away Premiership season tickets at £375 a pop!

Think of all that lost revenue just because they didn't think we'd be able to catch up with the top 6 and so haven't offered a Premier League price on top of the Championship one!

[Silver Fox]

Yeah, madejski will be well pissed off if we go up

fair play for you maintaining your principled stand.

[Hoop Blah]

You don't think he'll be riled by all the potentially lost revenue from ticket sales then?

I know it will, to an extent, be countered by all that TV money etc but you only have to see the financial realities of the last couple of season to see how every penny counts.

[Harpers So Solid Crew]

We made a profit in both seasons in the Prem, we have balanced the books since thanks to parachute payments and player sales, this season should also balance thanks to selling Siggy.. I feel sure JM would rather go up now and have more money for the next 4/5 seasons than stay in this league and have to sell to balance the books next season. As for selling ST at a lower rate, big deal, all renewals deserve it, and most new ST will be previous, so will have put a lot of money into RFC, except Whizzy, who seems a nice lad so who cares.

At £395 Carla and myself will be back in to watch some of the teams we missed out on, personally would love to have 30k attend at a lower rate than 23k at the higher rate.
Are the extension plans still an option?
