Don't see why they shouldI wonder if they're scrapping the free pints.

I would think soThere might be some holders who now can't go or just don't want to carry over their season tickets.
I wonder if the Club will refund anyone in that position
Glad that they didn’t charge us for that trial game against Bournemouth as well for the lucky 1k who were able to attend....
It's not a £64 increase for new supporters.How can they justify a £64 increase for 'new' supporters must be the only industry that does this and that's at early bird prices!!
Near on all of us who are season ticket holders will have had to pay more than a renewal when we first signed up.As a non season ticket holder it doesn't incentivise me to want to buy a season ticket.
Probably because we need to encourage new season ticket holders - making them pay more in year 1 is another barrier - it's not like the area is flush with cash is it?Near on all of us who are season ticket holders will have had to pay more than a renewal when we first signed up.
Then the renewal price is an incentive to stay as a season ticket holder.
Honestly don't understand how anyone can begrudge a renewal getting a discount compared to a new supporter.
They deserve it.
You will if you renew in 2022/23...there lies the incentive.I'm just not incentivised to purchase a season ticket from new especially when i know i won't be paying the same as the person sat next to me.
It's ultimately the same product. We can go round in circles with this but it all depends on your perspective. As a non season ticket holder it doesn't incentivise me to want to buy a season ticket.
If the club had said 'you've got a week to buy a season ticket at the same price as the bloke you'll be sat next to next season,' I'd think that's fair enough.
Some clubs have. Sheff Wed for one.Absolutely no chance.
Not even MFC are that stupid.
Surely...........................
It's a tough balancing act, I acknowledge that and you're always going to upset someone invariably, but I think the club need to be more dynamic in their approach. In reality this approach has proved that it operates a net loss on season ticket holders. Ultimately you could attribute that to a number of varying factors, granted however season tickets sales have been low. I'm struggling to really identify any concerted efforts the club have made to sell to non season ticket holders.
Try adding a joining fee to club membership like a lot of golf clubs do/did. £64 is getting off lightly in my experience. If it's cheaper than walk in prices over the season then that is the incentive. But as someone has said we live in an area where a lot of people are going through hard times. Would be brilliant, if the club offered a discount to those who are on benefits. Lets get the crowds in again, fill those empty seat Mr Gibson. You deserve a lot of credit for propping up the club now do a little bit more it's a win/win for me.How can they justify a £64 increase for 'new' supporters must be the only industry that does this and that's at early bird prices!!
