You're both incorrect on this....
If you attend all 19 games, you will pay the normal cost of a season ticket + £150 (or £75 if you're a child).
So if I pay £700 for my season ticket, and the person next to me is on Flexigold. If he attends all 19 games he pays £850 for the same thing.
(Club have confirmed this to CityMatters reps that I've spoken to).
The match is in November not DecemberIve just had an email about my cup scheme payment for Feyenoord on 18th December.

Thanks for the info. The club seem obsessed with no shows (14 is the average attendance for season ticket holders apparently). Looks like they’re working on the premise that if you’re paying a premium for the opportunity to purchase 3 weeks in advance you’ll definitely turn up. It’s not a great look though imo.@Prestwich_Blue

True, but how many flexi gold buyers bought them intending to go to every game and how many that bought them only go to the minimum 10 or a couple more compared to those that do 19 , and got them because it worked out a lot cheaper than buying 10 or so matchday tickets? Nobody would have that data until the season ends, but for those people the flexi gold is a good money sacing scheme that guarantees their seat for any games they want. If the minimum games was 8 I’d have wanted one and saved loads.@Prestwich_Blue

Ferran says hi.Live games are now a major expense, and if you've got kids as well it's become ridiculous but supply and demand will always be in operation and it won't be getting cheaper any time soon. When I used to go the 1970's if you weren't at the game you didn't see it , if you were lucky it might feature on Match of the Day so you got to see some of it. These days the HD TV broadcasts with a 65" TV and a surround sound system mean you get to see all of it, instant replays, loads of angles etc etc. All while sitting in your own chairs, no queues to get a beer or a snack or use the toilet, no hassle with shitty traffic, rip-off parking and so on. I do get it that nothng beats being there but it's a bloody good next thing.
I don’t think it’s that way around though they know if you buy 3 weeks before your likely to turn up but the main advantage to the club is they know it will definitely be available to re sell and they have 3 weeks to sell it. It helps people like me because I know for a lot of games there will be tickets available resale 3 weeks before the game.Thanks for the info.

they might have but there would be a few matchday buyers that got them to save money. Like I say until the end of the season we have no idea how many flexi gold holders go to every game and the proportion that barely do the minimum 10. Yes there should be a choice especially in the new stand agree with that.The issue is people have bought these with a view to either using it as a season ticket in order to go to every game (and incurring £150 fee on top of the tickets themselves) or as a way to "getting on the ladder" for an actual season ticket which disappointingly isn't going to happen. If Flexigold works as an option for some people that's great, but there needs to be a choice.
Good that it works for you (and I’m sure others) just not sure you should have to pay £150 for the privilege. Hopefully when the capacity increases the club will retain the % of season ticket holders to capacity and allow those that want to take up a regular season ticket.I don’t think it’s that way around though they know if you buy 3 weeks before your likely to turn up but the main advantage to the club is they know it will definitely be available to re sell and they have 3 weeks to sell it.

They should put some regular S/C s on sale when extended but I don’t think doing away with flexi gold entirely is a great idea either.

probably say Burnley last season, parking restrictions just came in, it rained heavily all afternoon that was one game when even I thought why am I doing thisThats now why they've brought in the current 14 game rule isn't it ?
I'm currently 1 game down now through non attendance ,even though i was there,because of their crap mobile system.
Edit
when was that midweek game with 15 % down btw ?
drop hey Jude to start with, then either proper Blue Moon or Boys in blueWhat about the really big matters though? Like playing a proper version of Blue Moon before kick off instead of the current shite
Yes the Burnley game was a shocking night and the actual attendance wasn’t great. I remember being pleasantly surprised at a close to full house when we played Brentford (might possibly have been Bournemouth) a week or two laterprobably say Burnley last season, parking restrictions just came in, it rained heavily all afternoon that was one game when even I thought why am I doing this
Thanks. I checked with my former colleagues as well. I'm not happy with that. When we first had the discussion about flexible tickets (which was around 5 years ago I think we proposed something different whereby the up-front fee was set off against the price of tickets you bought, not added on top.@Prestwich_Blue

Unfortunately, not everyone has your attitude. That's why the club wanted to go down this route. Had everyone ensured their ticket was used when they couldn't, there'd be no issue.Yes and no. It's obviously the club's seat but whoever purchased it for whatever game for that duration of time it is their seat. If I am not going to a game for whatever reason I will always put my seat onto the ticket exchange, it would be stupid not to. They don't always sell though, depending on who the opposition is. Also if you're in the cup schemes you can't put those tickets on the ticket exchange which is a bit baffling why this option isn't available.
Pity they dont even an option to prove/upgrade on it either, the flexi seems like it should be a silver level, with gold being the ST.Good that it works for you (and I’m sure others) just not sure you should have to pay £150 for the privilege. Hopefully when the capacity increases the club will retain the % of season ticket holders to capacity and allow those that want to take up a regular season ticket.
Question for a mate.
He’s a season ticket holder in SS3, a few seats from the back, north face of the first eiger type stuff, he’s just had an op on his back and will be hobbling around on crutches for the foreseeable, is there anyone he can contact at the club about getting a temporary move to a more accessible seat? I.e one that doesn’t involve stairs? Thanks in advance.
