SteV Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Has anything been said about possible refunds for this season's remaining games that have already been paid for by season ticket holders. No, unsurprisingly. I have some sympathy in respect of the fact that nobody really has the first clue what's going to happen, so in that sense they can't really promise anything. However, it seems Man Utd and a couple of others have realeased statements basically saying if the season is voided or games are played behind closed doors they would refund ST holders for those games. I think under Ashley we were all slightly fearful that at best we'd be given club vouchers or something, but I think (hopefully!) under the new regime we'd get a refund or money off next seasons ticket.

TheGuv Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I've spoken to a mate who works in the finance dept. He reckons the 10,000 STs were only for the remainder of the season and they couldn't be reserved as a full ST for next season. So fingers crossed lads Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

durhamunigeordie Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I've got refunds of some of the Bournemouth tickets using chargeback on my cards. Might be worth doing the same for the FA Cup game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGuv Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Is there anywhere to see current season ticket prices? This season’s from ‘The Mag’: Unless you are in the family section (and ignoring Seating Category Three which is just a very small number of seats) the starting price for adult season tickets in the Leazes and Gallowgate (Seating Category Two) is £659 for adults. So much for Newcastle fans low prices compared to most of the rest of the Premier League. That works out at £34.68 per match and that is committing to paying for the full season. As for those in the East Stand (Seatin gCategory One) you are looking at £811, which is £42.68 per match. The 2019/20 season ticket prices (in brackets the 2018/19 prices): Family Area £417 (£397) Adult £340 (£324) Student and Senior Citizen £86 (£82) Under 18s Seating Category Three £600 (£571) Adult £480 (£457) Student and Senior Citizen £174 (£166) Under 18s Seating Category Two £659 (£628) Adult £536 (£510) Student and Senior Citizen £217 (£207) Under 18s Seating Category One £811 (£772) Adult £667 (£635) Student and Senior Citizen £327 (£311) Under 18s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Is there anywhere to see current season ticket prices? Seating Category One £667 (£635) Student Can't remember them offering student STs everywhere in the ground? Thought it was only in the corner above the ambulance exit between the Milburn and Leazes. That price will save me around £150 if I can get mine back but it's still a joke given this season like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Dancer Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Question for anybody on here who kept their season ticket last year - would you be annoyed if those who cancelled were allowed first dibs ahead of the free ticket lot? Not that I think we will be allowed first dibs - but the consensus I get online is that it would annoy many who stayed if people are allowed back/their points back. Can't be arsed with a divided fanbase and those who 'supported the team not the regime' telling me I'm a shit fan for the next 10 years. Still can't believe if I held on another 9 fucking months I'd have still had 4 tickets together with about 450points ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Difficult thing, to be rewarded for staying under Ashley and penalised for walking away. Not sure how they could do it mind. What if you didn't cancel as a protest but you just didn't fancy it, do you get first dibs then? In general it's a bit unfair that existing season ticket holders get preference at all really, it's not like they're automatically better fans.

BirtleyMag Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I’m in the same boat mate, cancelled mine end of last season and thought we’d be stuck with Ashley forever. Takeover still hasn’t been announced yet so don’t want to tempt fate but I’ll be looking at getting my ticket back if it happens. The free ticket lot can f*ck off being given first dibs on season tickets imo. Only fair way is general sale. First come, first served. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect points back (although it would be nice) but I'm not sure if the new owners will see it as a quick PR win or whether it'll just be general sale. I'd assume the latter, which will be a fucking nightmare during lockdown. Phones will be off the hook, and the shite site will just crash.

Yeah the free ticket lot shouldn't be allowed to renew if you ask me, but I am bias I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteV Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I don't think I'd i'd have an overly strong opinion either way. I did get a couple of the free ones that have been used by various different mates, rather than the same ones, so I don't think they would be getting renewed if that was an option. To be honest, it's kind of hard to make a case for people being rewarded for taking up something that was free, ahead of people who could potentially have spent fortunes following the team in the past.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Free people definitely shouldn't get first go, that's silly. People who cancelled because of Ashley, ideally yes. But I can't see how they would manage that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWN Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I'd like to see them hold around 5000 back for box office sales only collected.I remember the days of getting up early to head for the ticket office and the joy of getting that ticket in ya hand was brilliant.

Me too - but I know that the trust (and maybe Wor Flags) are going to be bringing it up if and when any new owners contact them. Not sure if Staveley will see it as a PR win or what to be honest. I'm just fucking desperate for a ticket for me and the boy. If I can get that, whether my old ones back or on general sale, I'll be a happy man.

LV Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Those that cancelled season tickets likely played massively into Ashley’s decision to finally sell. They should be allowed back instead of the free tickets lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Personally I'd do it based off previous loyalty points or something but really the only way to do it fairly is going to be general sale. Free tickets no option to renew, obviously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
