Season tickets ( merged )

[Doc]

The early bird deadline is shown as Friday 31 May but that date is a Wednesday - I have informed the club.

It also says that it works out at £17 per game for early bird tickets. That is the price after the early bird price. Price per game for early bird tickets should be £15.52??

I've heard back from Rick Cowdery:-

The '17' is the amount of matches, not the cost per match.

Sorry for the confusion. I was reading the herald online. It says there £17 per game

8000 ST sold at £223 would bring in the same revenue as 5000 ST sold at £357. Question is, would we sell 8,000 at that price?

This is assuming the 3000 extra then didn't attend ANY games for the whole season.

What do you expect from the herald?

The season ticket prices are reasonable when compared to other earlybird offers in League One for next season.

Northampton - £249 - £380 depending on area of stadium, plus a free replica shirt.
MK Dons - £336 - £372 depending on area of stadium.
Gillingham - £380 - £460 depending on area of stadium.
Walsall - £356.
Peterborough - £319 standing, £399 seating.
Charlton - £175 low seats behind the goal, £500 seats on halfway line.

Under 18 early bird price up by 25% - Argyle seem to be penalising the youngsters, the very people we want to encourage to attend.

Age discrimination at it's very best!! My 7 year old grandson won't be having a season ticket next season and nor will he be taking part in numerous Argyle in the Community training days. Good ol' Argyle penny pinching has cost you, grrr!! The future is clearly in good hands... Oh no, the youngsters are being deterred from attending.

Renewing my 9 year old's season ticket will now work out at £4.17 per match. Surely that's fantastic value?

Can anyone confirm to me how the 6 game White membership works please? If purchased how do you decide and order your ticket for the game you want to go too?

Just get a membership card and you choose any six games as and when you want them or you can have more than one ticket for a game if you wish.
I buy 3 a season and renew each white as it runs out and block book my same seat for the next 6 games and then 5 individual match tickets to last the season.

Ok thank you, so once you have the membership card you can use it online to book your seat?

I assume (understandably) that this ticket buying strategy is a result of cashflow/disposable income restrictions...

At next year's prices this strategy will cost 1 x £115 (earlybird) + 2 x £120 + 5 x £21 (assuming bought in advance) = £460.
This is £103 more expensive than buying an adult earlybird Green Membership which is, in effect, a price increase of 29%. IF you know in advance that you are planning to buy tickets in the way that you suggest and IF you can somehow cobble together the additional money now (£357-£115 = £242) then it REALLY makes sense to do so. But, obviously, finding the additional £242 now might be impossible.

Just renewed my ST on line although i have had a confirmation e mail from the club i still think some how they will cock it up.

Yeah a full season ticket in one hit is way out of reach as I'm disabled and have very limited income, managed to save £230 so just tried to buy the first to whites at early bird price but they wouldn't let me (was worth a try)
Another thing the club should look as is similar to the half ST's at Christmas that they could do one at the start of season too, I know it wouldn't save much but at least you could guarantee your same seat and get away priority.

This club are doing a 10 month interest free option for the season tickets so you don't need any cash up front?

 

[mongoose jnr]

No hesitation in parting with my cash. A slight increase was always going to happen. Apart from playing at a higher level there has been an increase in Day to Day costs for everyone, we would most likely seen an increase even if we had not gone up.

Its not normally interest free, would be a steal if it was

Well l was always going to renew whatever the league or price we had to pay.

However, why don't Argyle try to entice more people with imaginative schemes. Start the prices as they are but say if you get so many "adult season ticket holders" then the overall price will keep dropping, as per targets set out by the club.

How do you know people won't buy unless you try imaginative sales tactics. That is what disappoints about Argyle. They don't really reach out to the people in the area and sale themselves to non committal Plymouth people.

Yes, an increase per game that's less than the price of the sweets my Grandson gets on most visits.

Nobody likes price rises, but this is reasonable to me.

you can use it online but you still get charged the ticket master fees, it's still free from the ticket office.

My son has had a white membership for two seasons. The first 6 tickets you book online are free from ticketmaster fees. Once you have used up your 6 games, you will be charged the booking fee for each game you book.

The 10 month scheme is interest payable whereas the 4 month scheme is interest free.
