25 Year 'Season Tickets' (Now with Suites Poll)

I paid by cash and have been taking up my option of reduced season tickets since. I share the opinion of those that say anyone that didn't pay in full for any reason or got a refund and haven't lost out should not be claiming the reduced prices. Any argument otherwise is weak and the club have definitely lost out on a fair amount of income. Admittedly, it would've all been wasted and just lined the pockets of more players and agents, but still

 

Does seem odd.

 

Unless the finance company recouped enough of the money as part of the admin or through an insurance claim to warrant writing the remainder off rather than spend money clawing it back

 

Agreed. There's not a hope in he'll a finance company wouldn't have chased the money though so clearly there's more to it than it being a standard finance deal.

Maybe @Dennis knows a bit more about the make up of the deal?

 

the deal was rolled over in the first admin as long as people carried on paying so I presume the club kept their records updated and anyone not paying would have had their tickets cancelled just like if they didn’t pay previously. Obviously it all changed with the second admin.

 

when did they cancel it?

 

@StaffordBantam might have it

 

Which ever way I still think those that got a refund from the credit card companies and are still taking the freebie are no better than someone letting a second person use their ticket.

 

In fairness Dennis, the option to pay to watch the game wasn't always available before covid hit.

 

I've slept since so I can't recall exact dates as to when I first heard about the cancelling of DD's. Certainly no one seemed to have their tickets cancelled though.

 

that’s what I mean though. I remember similar advice but thought it was after second admin

 

I'm honestly not sure Storck. My memory isn't great at the best of times and obviously it's a fair few years ago now.

I think I remember it was approximately 3 years into the 5 year deal though if that helps with the dates?

 

the second admin was 2004 so that would be 3 years in, so would sit with my memory too.

 

Crikey I didn't know that.

I nearly bought the 25 yr ticket but backed out at the last minute so have not really read much on the debates over the years.

I didn't realise that those who got a full refund were included in future "deals" with the club such as continued discounted ST's. I get that for those who lost out but if you got all your money back why would you be entitled to or come forward to benefit from the deals?

Seems rather odd.

 

The club have no access to the details of those that got refunds off credit cards so they decided to just ignore it

 

And any refund is between the credit card company and the person that owns the card.

In no way is it any business of the football club or anyone else for that matter.

The football club caused the problems with mis management, not the credit card owners.
