[BFC SITE] EARLY BIRD TO CLOSE IN ONE WEEK

There is just one week to go until the Early Bird period closes for our 25/26 Season Tickets - have you got yours?


Conor Hourihane will lead the Reds into the new campaign and work is already well underway to build for a successful season in Sky Bet League One.

With prices frozen, the Club is thanking you for your loyalty by offering season ticket holders who have held a season ticket in any of the last three seasons, 2022/23, 2023/24 and 2024/25 the option to purchase for the 2025/26 season at the Early Bird ‘Renewal’ Price.

Any new season ticket holders will be able to buy their seat at the Early Bird ‘New’ Price.

In addition, for the 2025/26 season, the club will add an additional payment plan for those supporters opting to pay for their season tickets on finance. We will be continuing with the interest-free payment period of 4 months alongside two other options of 6 and 10 monthly payments with V12 finance.

The Early Bird period closes at 4pm on Thursday 22 May.

A season ticket remains the most affordable method of watching all 23 home league fixtures, with an adult renewal in the Norman Rimmington South Stand paying only £16.48 per game. The Club have continued to honour the commitment to keeping football affordable for families, with Under 14 prices at only £29 across the stadium, working out at only £1.26 per game.

There are many benefits to purchasing a season ticket for the 2025/26 season which include:

• Guaranteed seat for all 23 home league fixtures played at Oakwell.

• Bring a friend for £10 to two designated fixtures during the 2025/26 season

• FREE entry to Under 21, Under 18 and Women’s fixtures during the 2025/26 season

• Early access to away fixture ticket sales before general sale.

• 50 loyalty points

• An opportunity to win a behind-the-scenes Stadium Tour.

To make the cost of a season ticket more manageable, purchases can once again be made via one of the following finance options with V12 finance:

Four Months

Supporters are invited to take advantage of a four-month interest-free payment plan, with the Club footing the interest. This payment plan is available until 4pm on 29th August.

Six Months

This purchase option comes with an 8.30% interest rate. Please note that this option will only be available until 4pm on 31st July.

lol at they haven’t said how many have been sold ( normally do), I’ve had a letter through the post that’s gone straight in the recycling bin

 

Me too, must be desperate if they are sending begging letters out

 

It will be extended, Just an easy to see through marketing communication.

 

Get renewed yer miserable bugger!

 

Not as things stand D, you know what needs to happen before I do.
Should the early bird finish on time, it won’t as it never does ! That will be that won’t pay full price.

 

Only joking mate. Be financial suicide not to extend early bird by at least a month. Not everyone is as daft as me lol.

 

If they could just release all the information needed for some of us to buy a ticket that'd be great.

Only made two phone calls so far to ask them on top of the ones I had to make last season and the call to a high level employee mid season so I guess they must simply not care about renewals

 

What info do you need mate?

 

Can't buy a season ticket without knowing the parking arrangements. It's an ongoing complaint I've had for a couple of years now. Last year it took multiple phone calls and a visit to the club to get them to confirm the parking arrangements. This year I preemptively discussed it with Jon flatmans assistant and explained that the information needed to be available if I am to buy a ticket. They agreed. I also asked the fab group to raise it. I bet you can guess where this is going. Yep. No information available. I have called the club twice now to ask them and been told they don't have information available.
Due to mobility issues for people in my group (not me thankfully) I can't renewcuntil I have assurances that 1. We will still have a car park available to use. 2. The arrangements will be reasonable and won't result in being locked in for hours. And 3. That the price won't be increasing

It might sound daft and people will say of course nothings changing but last season the club hosted a fans forum with Neerav, Julie and Khaled present. During that meeting the club stated that they were discussing the potential closure of the carpark. I've heard absolutely nothing from the club to say that the idea has been dropped so it's always hanging over fans heads who need it. Also last season (or the season before) the club sold the carpark tickets and then announced a raft of changes to the arrangements the day after they sent out the new tickets so they've got previous for taking money and then changing arrangements. Another reason I'm concerned is that they have been discussing parking and traffic around oakwell with the fab group but not revealed any information about the outcomes so it's clear that the topic of changes is actually being discussed. And the last one is that they actually had plans to build a fanzone on the carpark just a few months ago.

With all that uncertainty it's pretty much impossible to commit to a ticket when the club refuses to confirm very basic details. It's annoying as hell because I can't renew until they do but if they don't confirm anything in the next 7 days I am essentially charged a penalty fee by the club if I choose to renew later.

 

Sorry to hear that mate. Madness! Especially when sales are clearly slow !!

 

Sales look decent on the ticketing website to be fair

 

Can you count the seats?

Better still, @SuperTyke - surely AI can do that these days?

 

Surely all the yet to renew season tickets also show as unavailable at the moment?

 

I'm not sure how to check the sales during early bird period because surely all the unavailable seats are just existing ticket holders whether they've renewed or not?

 

As others have said, all last seasons st’s will show as unavailable on the ticketing site - any who haven’t renewed will still be greyed out.

My three (well my one and the two kids’ ones I had) are.

 

I don't get all the criticism. It's not the first season reminders have been sent out or publicised. Before closing dates. And if they extend it'll not be the first time either.
Common sense really to boost sales.

 

It also gives the non renewers a chance to tell us they’re not renewing for the umpteenth time

 

I had to laugh the other day, some of you will have seen it on facebook. The digital signs on the bus stops around Barnsley, there’s one on Barnsley road through goldthorpe and the same advert is on non stop, it’s been froze for weeks. It’s an image of Jalo with the slogan underneath saying “paint the town red”. Someone had taped their season card to the screen.

Made me chuckle. Sad to see the many unhappy supporters, mind.

 

I wonder how many people have caught their worms?
