Season Tickets VS Gate Tickets

[Thou Voice]

After the great "2009 Season Ticket Ripoff" and all these offers I see on the site for getting in cheaply etc...

...has anyone done the maths, would it have been cheaper to have been a season ticket holder upto this point in time right now or just buy your tickets cheaply at the gate?

DO YOU SEE?

[AthleticoSpizz]

given the game(s) that I will miss courtesy of fixture changes thanks to that great god TV ponsership

And allowing for the offers, then YES it would have been cheaper in my case

[MeMeMe]

already missed 2 due to a holiday, will most probably miss others due to social events, so yes, having season ticket will prove to be more expensive for me. Thanks RFC you have confirmed my suspicions from the start and now I clearly see.

So it is RFC's fault that you chose to go on holiday and that you chose to go to 'other social events' rather than attend games that you have paid for.

Maybe you should give the league your social timetable before they compile the fixtures.

maybe they should honour the fixture dates that are put out each July

Surely RFC have no control on which matches are picked for sky? Sky tell them which games and RFC say thanks very much and pocket the money. Its just good business sense.

Agree. But fans organisations across the land should be demanding refunds for those who cannot make these re-arranged games... There is enough cash swilling about for a hundred or so refunds to be negligible in effect.
Time too for fanss to boycott SKY sports and bring some sense back to football.

As we have yet another thread on this can someone answer how many deals the club have done so far this season, is it just the one two games for one deal??

[weybridgewanderer]

They promote the buy early and get it cheaper as if it was a special deal for a game but is available for every game, so yes, the only deal for adults so far is the buy leceister get ipswich free on offer at the moment.

Which means that pro rated you are not any better off buying on a game by game basis than on your season ticket.

I really don't know why people that miss games becuase of holidays and social events get so upset.

22.50 per game, 23 home games = £517
Season ticket renewal £425

Therefore you get just over 4 "free" games. Miss 5 games you are better off not buyng a season ticket before the club throw in the odd incentive.

At the time most fans renewed our season tickets the fixtures were unknown so you can't really argue that they published dates then changed them. I accept some fans would have bought their season ticket after the fixtures were announced.

[Harpers So Solid Crew]

And it is known that games will be moved and that some will be missed.

[riverroyal]

well you dont get 4 free games compared with paying match by match . . .

If you buy a ticket for the Leicester City game you get an Ipswich ticket free so that's down to just 3 games better off.

I think there was also an offer on at the start of the season for the Nottingham Forest game?

[Thaumagurist*]

Hasn't this already been discussed on the club policies???

We emailed the club on the podcast as someone asked us to on their behalf. The club have confirmed that the total value of all/any deals will still be less than the saving you get by buying an ST.

Yes it has been discssed many a time.

The people who brought season tickets moan when we are playing badly and offers are being given out to non-season ticket holder and therefore think they are entitled to some sort of refund. They also moan that Sky reschedule games and they can't get to them.

These are the same people who didn't moan at all when we were doing well and were on the way to the Prem or in the prem and had a guaranteed seat each game, where us non season ticket holders got what we could get. These are also the same people who still managed to get to the games rescheduled by Sky..
