Season ticket renewal next season?

[beardy gull]

I'll be renewing. I'm an Albion fan you see.

Likewise.

 

[Return of the Rev]

And I know you. I remember when you weren't renewing this time last year.

CHASING GLORY BEFORE THE PLAYOFFS

 

[algie]

I'm calling it a day next season i'm afraid. Nothing to do with the football on the pitch. It's purely financial reasons and other matters. I will pick and choose my games from now on and buy tickets of NSC. Will be sad to see my seat go to someone else

Nothing has changed for me. I enjoy the Amex and Championship football but i'm cutting my cloth for next season. I will hand pick my games to save money.

Can't speak for anyone else, but we will definitely be renewing our 3.
Love the whole experience.

Why not pay game by game then to ensure your financial contribution is as high as possible?

Undecided here. Absolutely love our seats and all the people around us but eldest daughter turns 16 pre season and in the Family Stand that makes her an adult. Just simply cannot afford 2 adults and 1 child seat-esp if the travel is taken off the tickets. We could move elsewhere and pay for an adult, under18 and under16, unsure yet what the difference will be? If we knew moving would put us amongst a similar bunch of people that we are with now it wouldn't be such a torn decision, just purely down to finance.

Wonder if Bloom & Barber could shift the age categories a little to aid your type of situation eg make the cut off to being an adult seat price when reach age 19. In global terms shouldn't cost the club too much?

I wonder how many of those who have stated they are renewing, will renew if season tickets stay or increase in price, but the travel subsidy is removed?

We still would.

Entirely dependant on cost

Our friends up the road do just this, they have an 18-21 ticket

Would be great but I fear the club know they could fill our seats with ease-esp with all the encouragement of children going to games and the FS pricing.

Renew or not ... let your yes be yes and your no be no now..

There aren't Under-18 and Under-16 prices elsewhere in the stadium, just Under-18 and Under-10. The former pay 50% of the adult price and the latter 25%.

Thanks Bozza-I was trying to find that info! Well guess that will probably mean a 'no' from us then, but not a definite until I see the prices (will try my uttermost not to have to not renew).Otherwise, sadly may have to take the chance on a match by match basis.

You would think the club might have a loyalty scheme whereby the age category is extended to 18 in the Family Stand if a season ticket has been held for 2/3 seasons before their 16th birthday is reached or failing that introduce an U18 ST to cover the gap between U16 and Adult pricing which is at the same price level of a U18 ST in the North Stand.

This might not be popular but by the time I was 16/17/18 I was out working doing all sorts to pay to follow the Albion around the country, how about the kids these days do the same?

Moot point really, perhaps the club would rather a seasons' commitment, potentially they get less income but in return better financial planning?

2 hours work a week for her should do it

Its not the same now , when we were youngsters you left school at 16 (or some of us 17) and then straight into your first job. Kids today will find it nearly impossible to get a job at 16 so do a couple of years at college and even then most of them will be considering going on to University. Bank of Mum & Dad doles out the money so there isn't any incentive to earn at this age.
