    We had some discussions on season tickets at the Fan Engagement Forum tonight. Some notes:

    Club are looking at keeping it simple. No Reds Reserved/Reds Reserved + just a “season ticket”
    Loyalty points would roll over and would continue to be used where there are away games with small allocations.
    There was discussion on allocating loyalty points based on how far away travel. (E.g. more points for longer journeys). Club will look into it.
    There may be an offer that includes a shirt (or money off a shirt)
    Early bird will be from early April. There were discussions about the length of the early bird window given the additional expenses (council tax, energy increases etc) and only one pay day in April
    Finance option should be available. Probably for 4 months and 10 months but there will be an cost (detail being ironed out)


    Question, given the season ticket price has remained the same since 2018, and we’ve had some of the most competitive season tickets in the Championship and even in League one, where would you expect to see the club pricing season tickets for next season? (Bear in mind we wont have clarity on which league we are in when the early bird tickets come out)

    Depends if you get free membership of the Buuming club thrown in. If we go down it shouldn't go up.

    Joking aside an admin fee for season tickets paid over the duration of the contract would be fair enough. However, if required up front I think it would hit people hard.

    I know Zebra finance took a fee but I envisage with the tentative tone of your post that this would be something that PMG would want to make more money out of.

    In that case they can f cuk right off.

    I expect them to remain the same. However because of the removal of three quarters of a million pound from the club by supposed billionaires and a complete refusal to explain or justify it I think they'll struggle to CONvince many to pay the same as before knowing that they are simply funding Paul CONway and co's jetsetting lifestyles and therefore there SHOULD be a reduction as way of apology for continually shitting on supporters.

    This opening post also comes across as a sounding board. Canvassing opinion on behalf of the club. Given the current climate I find it highly disrespectful of a fanbase that is hurting in spite of recent upturn in results.

    The supporters club represents the fans not the club.

    No I think it was because of the use of a new supplier rather than to make money out of it.(Zebra stopped doing it i seem to think)

    I expect them to finally offer season ticket prices based on how many purchase them like other clubs have in the past. The club don't lose because they still get the revenue they want. It's just down to fans purchasing them for how cheap they go.

    It was only me trying to understand what people are expecting though rather than anything to do with the club asking for wider opinion. Indicative (but unfinalised) pricing was discussed.

    Cheers. However, if they are worth 9.1 billion as a collective and want me to part with money for me, Laura and George are they gunna stump up some cash?

    I couldn't give a monkey's toss about the 750k they own the club. or whether I'm taking George in the Championship or League 1. I'd like assurances that the club will have investment.

    It was the suggested cost of season tickets that will be published when the club have signed it off

    I just hope they aren't about to make a terminal own goal.

    Clarky, Whitey and Beth arent the right people to answer that tonight. i'd guess whilever Lee/Conway are the majority shareholders that isnt going to happen. I'd also be very surprised if that figure you've quoted is anywhere near reality as well

    When will the club apologise to the fans bribed into buying 300 quid ifollow memberships through COVID?

    When will they reciprocate the financial backing of the fans?

    Imagine a pension scheme. We've put in. Perhaps they should put sumat in? Even if it's from some dumb Californian housewives.

    It's the figure on Google. If it's false why don't the club take it up with them?

    I thought the idea of these meetings with representatives of different groups was so that the representatives would feed the information back to those groups? Or have I as usual completely misunderstood what they're for?
