I have been on a flexi for 2 seasons now. I saw it as a stepping stone on the ‘property ladder’ if you like, I missed out the first season on renewing to a gold (did 13 games)
This season I did 16 which was mine and my son’s aim so we could renew to gold or platinum. We did platinum just because we were excited to upgrade and to boost the points.
I don’t see why anyone would go to a flexi after having a gold (each to their own) We live 3 and a bit hours away and having a gold will work just as well if not better. We will easily do the 10 games personal attendance required.
As for flexi, You get 10 points per game you attend. You will also get 1/16th of the £120 deposit you paid off your ticket. I ended up paying £14.52 per game last year in south stand level 3. Once the 1/16th deposit was paid back to me, each ticket was £22.40.
I have no complaints about the flexi and it was great for us but we desperately wanted to become a gold or a platinum member and have more autonomy over our tickets.
I was also successful in getting my nephew a gold season ticket (which I was surprised at as I thought new season tickets were all flexis) and we moved all 3 seats to the new Pep Guardiola north stand! Same price £425 (£475 for platinum) for me and £200 (£250 for my son) each for the kids! Buzzing!
Happy to answer any other questions regarding flexis.
