Granted some things are going up - basic ST cost, replica shirt costs etc, but I have been quite impressed by the club's willingness to look at options that keep the cost down. What's the cost of a value gold season ticket, 300? yeah it's pot luck where they put you but if cost is the main thing for you, it's a belting deal. So far as I am aware we are the only club that do this.
The survey is as I understand it for people who are NOT renewing, and they are looking at options which might make you want to renew in the future. Like, if you live a long way away and are worried about the money you will spend on midweek games you won't go to, what about a weekend only season ticket?
It doesn't look to me like the club are thinking about ending traditional season tickets that cover every home league game at all. I think they are just making sure that when people don't want that, there are alternative ways of making sure that (a) we get to see some games, and (b) they get our money. Which seems fair enough to me.

Why Always Ste said:peoffrey said:Why is that shafting us? I'd bet that Blues pick and choose bigger matches so grouping them together without having the hassle of individually booking each is a good idea. I'm a Seasoncard holder myself but would entertain a 4 or 5 match deal if I weren't.
I'm under the presumption the club would stop doing the traditional SC that we have used over the years and going into a model of buying several different SC's for different types of games.
So you would buy one SC for most of the games, but this would exclude the Big derbies.
Then you'd buy on top of the cost of your one SC, the big derbies.
And so on and so on.
We don't know what they are planning on doing yet so it's all speculation of course but if say I was sold my SC next season at the same/similar price but this excluded some very big games (and I had to pay extra for these games) then I would be out.
ooooohhhhhh......if you weren't a MOD I'd swear blind you were trying to catch someone in a Clarkie with that one!de niro said:lets face it regardless of what changes the club make the truth is our season tickets are far too cheap considering the football and the players on display.
