Season Tickets - 2012/13

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Do you seriously think there was a massive wedge of STH holders in the last season at Withdean that weren't there before, simply because they wanted one for the Amex?

No. There were a few, maybe even a couple of hundred, but that makes bugger all difference in the grand scheme of things.

This! There were what 4500/5000 Withers STHs right at the end?

Have to wait and see i guess

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Do current STH get first dibs on their seat for next season?

Automatic first dibs at renewal shirley? Apart from anything else the direct debit gets taken out all year round.

 

[ees complicated no?]

I was hopeing that the club would start some scheme where this would happen hope it makes sence

renew period of current ticket holders -> Renew period + swap seat location with other seaon ticket holders -> swap seat location -> new season ticket holders to take up any seats that were not renewed

 

[Notters]

If I were organising it I'd have 7-10 days in June for STHs to renew their seat, another 7-10 days for STHs wishing to switch to another seat/stand then the remaining seats would go to the waiting list

If I were organising it, I'd have it so the DD was renewed automatically unless you specifically told them not to. If car insurance companies can do it then why not the Albion?

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

This (ie a continuous D/D) is what we've all signed up to isn't it?

Yeah it comes out over 12 months not just the months of the football season, so must be.

 

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

i totally disagree.....!

loyalty points should decide the first to get season tickets....

it really winds me up that my four 'jcl' mates in the north stand, not only get all home games, but first choice of cup games as well....
while i sit there 'refreshing' for hours.... even though i have quite a few loyalty points.

I think season ticket holders at the amex, that had no previous history at the withdean (and thers allot of them), should not have first choice on cup games...
although i know this is standard practice, it annoys....

anyone else agree...?

yeah I agree with you mate, but then then again I also believe cats should be given the right to vote

Quite right.

Us season ticket holders shouldn't even get priority on our own seats for league games just in case somebody who doesn't have a season ticket wants to come.

And if you are a JCL you shouldn't be allowed into any games for at least 4 years (but still have to pay for your season ticket) to prove your loyalty.

100% THIS. As a DD payer, I have always assumed that I now have to opt out. If I do nothing my season ticket will automatically be renewed.The club will simply adjust the amount I pay dependant on which division we are in.

Obvioulsly the club will need to advise of any increase before they take payment. (Which means the amendment will need to be made before we know which division we are in)

My utilities D/D's are adjusted once my usage is known, which can be a few months after a price increase, maybe the club will do the same so you pay the same figure for April and May and a higher figure for June onwards, taking into account the April & May shortfall

Good point. That is quite possible.

Presumably the club would have to give a refund on April and May if anyone decided that the price rise was too high and decided to cancel their ST.

Erm, if loyalty points were used then all the STHs would get first dibs !

What a plank!! Instead of moaning about JCLs etc why didn't you just get a season ticket when you had the chance this year? If you are such a big supporter and go to most games surely a ST is a cheaper option so please don't say because of financial reasons!

Anyone know how many people are on the waiting list? And how do you get on it? The season tickets section of the ticket website doesnt work for me, just directs me to the update details page?

Also if you get offered a place when you get to the top and arent in a position to accept do you go back to the bottom to start again or keep getting offered seats each time one becomes available?

When I tried to get a season ticket this year I got an automatic email telling me the club would be in touch soon. After a couple of days I found out the ST's were all gone so I'm hoping I went on the waiting list then (I did send an email to the ticket office to enquire about it but didn't get a reply - despite this I would say try emailing the ticket office to check).

Email the club (I think I emailed stsales[MENTION=5978]bhafc[/MENTION].co.uk, but as that isn't listed on the site tickets[MENTION=5978]bhafc[/MENTION].co.uk should be alright) giving them your fan number and asking to be added to the list. Oh, and while you're at it, ask how many people are on it at the moment

*edit* Just checked and it was customer.services[MENTION=5978]bhafc[/MENTION].co.uk that got back to me about it - they said the list was closing in on 1000, and that was on the 8th July

 

[Notters]

I should think so, that's how it usually works e.g. allotments, parking permits, etc.

I did it recently, here is the chain :-

" Hi Nick,

You have now both been added to the waiting list. Once 2 seats are available and it's your turn on the waiting list we will get in contact with you and go from there.

Kind Regards,

To stop going to the update details page you just need to click update at the bottom I think.

I have heard there are 1,000 on the waiting list
