Crumpy Gunt Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Not if we get knocked out in the first round Champions Leage next season you oaf. Tis a gamble though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keefaz Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Sounds pretty reasonable, really. Must be desperate to flog those last few season tickets, like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Cracking offer!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkeye Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I have been trying to work it out. It is basically a 10 month interest free offer so divide the cost of your ticket by 10 and that is what you pay between now and May next year. If we have a good run in the League cup this season we could get about 6 free home games, value approx £120, add that to 3 - 4 in the FA CUp and that could be an extra £80 worth of tickets. Next season could be a different story if we qualify for the UEFA Cup. Add those matches to the League and FA cup and we could get nearer £300 of free games. This all depends on whether you go to every home cup game already and pay for the privilidge, not every season ticket holder does of course!! EDIT: Just noticed it says "a seat for every home cup game". Not necessarily your own? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Very tempting, although it's come at a bad time for me personally. It would be around £50 a month from now until August for my seat and I do go to every cup game, but it's a gamble like others have said because home cup matches aren't always a given.

Keefaz Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 It's the same with any cup game if you delay in applying for your ticket, they'll give your seat to someone else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Just noticed it says "a seat for every home cup game". Not necessarily your own? By the way, those sums are extremely optimistic. Let's say we get 3 home games in the domestic cups in each of the next two seasons as a more "realistic" benchmark. That's still going to be around £100 of football for nothing, which ain't half bad.

Guest fraser Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 The interest free thing amuses me. Of course it's interest free because we're being asked to pay in advance. The sole benefit is that you may watch a free match if we don't get knocked out of the cup competitions. The only guaranteed benefit is the Barnsley match. Meanwhile NUFC can bank the money and earn interest on it. Why not save the money monthly in an interest bearing account? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCW1983 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 When you buy a ticket for home cup games do you get the points on your season ticket ?? and i wonder if so how they would work it using the free cup games scheme ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because even if you only get one league cup game this season and one FA Cup game, same for next season (If I've read it right and you get this season and next seasons cup games) means you save £60 on tickets. Chances are slim that we don't get at least 1 match in each competition. Saving £50 a month means you'll probably get about £2-3 interest in those 10 months.

I didn't say it was guaranteed I said chances are slim we won't get at least 1 game in each comp at home next season. How many times has it happened in the last 10 years where we havn't had at least one game in each cup comp at home ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

iklgizmo Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 So basically, if i bought my season ticket for next season now, i would get free tickets to every cup game for the next 2 seasons? There must be a catch! Also would be interested to see how they work the points and stuff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree with you; it is possible that there will be a net gain. What I'm saying is that only one match is guaranteed, we will be paying in advance for the season ticket (if it were a car and you paid Patterson in the coming year for a Fiesta you would get once you'd finished paying next year, could that be described as an interest free loan?) and NUFC will be earning interest on your speculation.
