Guest covmag Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 If the club had any sense () anyone cancelling would have their cards and any points earned simply suspended as inactive which can be reactivated at some point in time for a small activation fee should they wish to renew, or access for away tickets. Over the past few seasons it’s noticeable how many away games points needed to get a ticket have fallen or how quickly tickets have went on general sale. Those that are cancelling their tickets now are some of the more long term holders and many who go to away games on a more regular basis. The club won’t have too many problems filling their seats with new season ticket holders or by way of single match day tickets, but they will struggle massively to sell away tickets to those buying a new season ticket and not just because they will start with zero points, but because only a real handful of dedicated hard core fans go to more than a few away games. If I cancel Sky (which we’ve done) and I want to join up again, I’m already in their system and providing my dish and box and card is still intact and operational they simply just reactivate the service at their end and hey presto, it’s back on. Or that’s how it used be the last time we cancelled and then signed back up. Disagree about easily selling home tickets mind, theres no waiting list now.

SteV Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I don't understand how you lose loyalty points. Surely as long as you have an account with the club, your points total is on that. Why does it matter if you have a season ticket active? Because it's a (very effective) tool to get people to renew... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season ticket sales dropped from 40k last season to around 36k this season so those of us who packed in last summer (me included) weren't replaced and there's already been several sub 50k crowds this season. Those packing in now aren't being replaced by new fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sima Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Just told my Dad that I have no intention of going back this season. We've both paid our tickets in full last summer. Fuck them, we're going to fill the time by meeting up for a couple of pints locally. The only think I feel bad about is not supporting Rafa but he's 99.9% gone in the summer anyway.

BlueStar Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 What's the deal if you don't cancel by Friday, locked in to paying for another season at least? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 If you are on the long term deal it just means your next payment is going towards next season. You can still cancel after but you won’t get your money back. No issues with breaking the agreement - it’s not a credit agreement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Just means if you then cancel that you've wasted a month's payments (I lost 3 or 4 months worth when I cancelled at the end of a season), although I'm pretty sure LFEE[/member] successfully claimed money back through his bank. You're never locked in as no credit agreement exists. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does it matter if you have a season ticket active? This is what happened to me. I had a season ticket for nearly 20 years. Had well over 100 points. Due to change in circumstances I had to give up for just over 2 seasons. When I renewed and logged into my account the points were still there then suddenly gone and given a new membership number.

Second half they arrive late, moan at players, check their bets and start leaving after 80 minutes to go back to the pub. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
