[Albion] Record season ticket renewals (again)

[Dave the OAP]

no. It doesn't work like that.

Just wondering how people share tickets now (I know @amexer often asks about this) and how it works for people. My sense FWIW is that there are of course far more A+ members now, that the club sharing scheme is now pretty normal given we're 5 years in and given that people pay by DD then there are more members in people's friends and family circle who are members year in year out (cos they automatically renew)..

But of course there will be some hold outs (don't want to pay and frustrated that its not free to share, A+ membership is too expensive, . and maybe think its too complicated, or seek alternative - non sanctioned - ways to pass on tickets. )

So being a tight arsed Yorkshireman pensioner, I have to pay the Albion some more money for a friend to become members and then I can transfer the ticket so they can use it?

shouldn’t that be they pay for their membership and then I transfer the ticket to them so they could use at AT NO COST TO ME ?

If you're a pensioner and they are not a pensioner. - then you don't have to worry about them being a A+ member - you just pay to upgrade your ticket.

but yes. if u65 - u65 share - then someone has to pay for them to be a member - either thats you or them. if its them then its "AT NO COST TO YOU".

They pays a membership

Assuming they become an A+ Member and added to your friends and family list you can either;

Share once for free

Pay a fee to share match by match

pay £20 to share for the season

* your friend could contribute towards this if needed

If you're a pensioner and they are not a pensioner. - then you don't have to worry about them being a A+ member - you just pay to upgrade your ticket.

but yes. if u65 - u65 share - then someone has to pay for them to be a member - either thats you or them. if its them then its "AT NO COST TO YOU".

In this case, assuming I am a pensioner ( I will be next season), does this mean I pay to upgrade every time I share?

If I make my ticket shareable for a £20 cost to me, can I then share it to anyone at no match by match cost?

Pay the £20 and you can share to any Albion+ member you add to your friends and family list.

Yes, but the other way I can share to non Albion+ ?

 

[pigmanovich]

No real movement over the past 48 hours. 74 left in North, 282 in South, 699 in West, and 1,437 in East.

Down to 49 tickets in North, 274 in South, 658 in West, and 1,410 in East by my count.

Depends if you share to an 21-65 adult or if you share to an 65+ pensioner. If the former, you will have to pay to upgrade and then you can share with anyone. If the latrter you have to use the sharing scheme. For that - its cheaper than £20 if you just share a couple of times a season, or free if just once . Or if you share a fair few times then its £20 . Whatever you do - you have to share with an A+ member.

(i think that's right !!)

No you can't unfortunately.

Reading the season ticket T&Cs

For season ticket upgrades there is no mention of having to share this with Albion + members. These tickets can be shared with anyone (obviously the season ticket holder is ultimately responsible for that persons behaviour etc). The cost of doing this is the cost of the match ticket for the person going, minus the pro-rata value of the ticket rounded up to the nearest pound (plus an admin fee).

The season ticket sharing system can only be used to share tickets with people in the same price band or cheaper, subject to them being an Albion+ member and the season ticket holder either paying the £20 season sharing fee, or paying a fee on an individual basis for each share based on the category of the match.

For a riveting read the full terms and conditions are here (section 13 is the appropriate bit about ticket sharing and upgrades).

I’ve been trying to get an answer from the club about this, but I’m going round in circles trying to get them to confirm when tickets will be available to all remaining MA+ members.

At a loss as to why supporter services have been advised to obfuscate throughout this process. The responses I received while trying to buy a ST ranged from terse to misleading, with the exception of when I was able to find out the threshold for the first window.

I'm a MA+ member and just got an email asking me if I want to buy a season ticket. I assume they are available now.

Having said that, the timing isn't ideal. Read the room, BHAFC!

Read the room?? Are fans choosing not to support the Albion after some poor results or are they just airing their disappointment with a moan?
People either want a ST or they don’t.
