Bargain, don't even know the league yet

Well you could always fund it by your bets...............................oh

[HoylandOwl]

Well. 
£20 a game on the Kop then.

Dont like how short the first window is with zero notice. But hey ho.

 

[Otto_Man]

I think the prices are decent.

Weird q (and I'd ring the ticket office, but I can't get through). I want to add 2 more season tickets, there are no spaces where we sit and I don't really want to move. Given there's every chance someone round us wont renew, how the fuck do I do that without waiting until the last possible moment? Do I buy 2 random ones and hope we can move later or is there a better way?!

[Hirstys 12th Pint]

£5 increase on Kop from 2020 if you want to put a decent spin on the prices.

With Pay Pal being involved think you can spread payment across 3 or 4 months interest free if that makes it easier for people.

Yes. Is the answer 

[HoylandOwl]

Is the south stand view worth £170 more than the Kop? 

[Skamp]

worth that just to be further away from the band

This is based on your years in dealing with such matters?

Yes, buying random ones is the only way I think. They will allow you to change them afterwards. I’ve done it a couple of times lately.

I have always said the season ticket prices are reasonable.

Won't agree ever on the 9 day Phase 1. Keep it ruddy simple it should have run to early March 

Month to get your funds together

[Supercockle]

We’ve renewed ours. 

[EBRA]

All renewed - as people pointed out prices slightly over 20/21 prices and slightly over the 2015 summer window prices.

Would love it cheaper of course and I just hope if we ever get promoted prices don’t radically jump

Repeat the point in here, a 40 quid rise over 9 years seems not bad.

Genuinely did we complain in the 90s when it went up - it seemed - by that amount every summer. Time dulls the memory on that front.

The value of season tickets at the first phase prices is not something a shotgun should be levelled at him for.

[KrolMong]

I think in the grand scheme of things that the pricing is reasonable. I did a bit of scouting and we are in line with the rest of the division.

Yep, the phase 1 window could be longer. Although they generally extend anyway depending on uptake.

What might be harder to take is those prices for league one. That would be a bridge too far for those who wait, it’s imperative for DC to give Rohl the tools he needs to give us the best chance of stopping up.

Nice of a tabloid to make the headline statement bigger than the actual reality NOW. 

 

[Theman]

From off site 26/6/2014 - third phase adult ST on Kop, £18.69 per game, £10.21 conc, £6.08 for U17’s - just a quick search 👍

Last time we went down to Lg1 I was part way through a 5 year s.t.  The club reduced my prices. (Put me in credit.)  Used the credit amount first against cup tickets and away game tickets. More than fair.  And not just the first season down.

How dare you skew the narrative that everything we do is WRONG AND EVIL

Checked earlier today and this was actually a later phase rather than the first release.  Think Kop was £370 if I remember rightly.

Not sure there were any early bird phasing under Milan mate but always happy to be educated 👍

[mkowl]

Be interesting to compare the price of a pint over that period

5 years ago ……….. It’s gone up £1 per season for kopites to this season……

Pitchforks out on OT though 🤷‍♂️

Re the pic above. 

Seen a few people posting things like that across social media. Then, they go, oh, but the North/South has gone up waaaay too much. 

Looking at those prices and comparing. 

Kop +£5.

North/Grandstand +£15

South -£10. 

Horrendous pricing LMAO.

Doesn't fit the narrative of SOME. And I think even if you showed them this, you'd then get. Oh, but this is league one pricing for next season. Well F off you pessimistic pricks. 

 

Anyway. AS I say, the easy bird period is way too short. That's my biggest gripe. 

 

[Hirstys 12th Pint]

Been a bit sad and looked at the First Phase prices going back a few seasons.  Do need to recheck 2014 though in line with Casbahs screen shot which showed them as being higher.

That's the same with me. 

I need more than a week to plump up the courage to tell the Mrs I am spending a Grand on Season Tickets !!

Ffs!  I was driving home from the match when it occurred to me what you were (probably) referring to.  🤯

No, I was not referring to tarts, thanks very much!   Nor anything that occurs regularly.   😈

[Hirstys 12th Pint]

Well the season ticket sales pitch of the Watford and Huddersfield games have not gone as well as hoped.  

Whats everyone doing ?  Renewed already, renewing next couple of days or bailing out.

Don't think I am brave enough to bail out after 30+ years having a season ticket but is it time to break the cycle.  Our tickets come to £900 but based on the Birmingham game prices would cost £1500+ on a game by game basis. 

[Gleadless Owl]

I've renewed, but think STs will be down on the last time in L1. 

[cheat]

Just done mine.

Is everyone else being forced down the PayPal route?

Not particularly a problem, but it forced me to even though I tried to choose the ‘or Credit/Debit card option.

Done ours yesterday
As for the PayPal thing, you can pay through that without having an account anyway. The awkward thing is that it’s another click…. Nothing else. 

[Skamp]

[Teddy Nickelarse]

Renewed yesterday. Used Paypal as I do all the time. Happy enough with protections afforded by using PP.

Fingers crossed for a good, youthful rebuild in the summer - most likely for League 1 - with the existing coaching set-up. 

[owl71]

Just renewed mine, but fuck me it was a lot of effort.  Haven’t used my PayPal account for a few years and had an old, deactivated phone number stored against it.  Ended up having to phone their customer services as they kept sending 2fa verification codes to the old number.  Reminded me why I hate PayPal. 🙄

I can feel your pain. I use PP all the time so was straightforward. I'd imagine that ideally the club would want to offer a credit card option but, for whatever reason, this avenue has been denied.

[bradowl]

Renewed mine Friday using the V12 finance, pretty straightforward really and first payment doesn't come out till early next month which is a good thing with all these away games at moment.

Caught a few minutes of FB last night when I was in the car (I know I’ve only myself to blame) but they were whipping things up about how the club should be explaining the approach to paying for the early bird season tickets. Talk about needy, even if it a bit of a pain.

Station's part of the protest.

He's the 'journo' who always backs up the 1867's releases.

 

Anyway, looked on Scunthorpe's site and here it is. So it does look like a wider problem.

I heard it, they were making out that everyone had to go down to ground with wadds of money to renew season tickets, they never mentioned being able to buy online. 

[Hirstys 12th Pint]

I've only gone and renewed for me and the kids.  Fook those on OT saying do not buy one and those who do are akin to paying into the funds of ISIS. 

I'll admit I wavered but more in protest of the 'Phases'.  My Daughters face last night also clinched it.  She's only been into Wednesday for 2 years and she looked really upset when I mentioned the possibility of not getting tickets. 

I used the Pay Pal 4 month interest free option and my computer has not blown up or been added to the CIA watch list. 

Now regardless of how this season pans out let me see DR still in charge and allowed to build a squad of his own.
