Yes , guarentees a seat for all games , can get paid in advance + makes easy for away tickets and cup game if needed.
Only ask because I had a season ticket for 5 years, gave it up last year and doubt I'll ever bother with another one whilst tickets are available so freely for 99% of games.
Well said mate, I know we've been chatting about this offline this morning too, but this is where the club has to fight the council. 'Condition of Withdean' is killing the club. A renewed effort to enable fans to opt out of this cost if so desired and see a reduced price (whilst still offering tickets WITH travel including) is what's needed here. We're all treated like idiots who unless we're dragged kicking and screaming onto public transport we won't use it. That's rubbish. Like you I'm coming from far away and never use this part of my ticket because I park in Patcham (outside the 'illegal' parking area) and walk down to the game because it's quicker. It costs me a ruddy fortune in petrol as it is and yet I've been forced to pay hundreds to network south central etc over the years for no reason. Plus I can't get to all games so that's money down the drain from my ST. Anyone with half a brain can see this isn't fair and unnecessarily pushing the price up. Radical revision of ticket prices is what's needed here. Not someone consistently giving excuses as to why it can't be done.
Will renew, don't know about the kids
