Prices and things are now up on the website.

Probably a Flexi membership for me (new job, not sure how often I'll be able to go) but I'm hoping to pay through the gate a few times too.

The important thing in getting to SL is that we would get an upgrade in central funding from £450k to £1.8m. So not counting any guarantees from Provident which may or may not be there, there's a funding uplift of £1.35m, which covers a lot of tickets

I hadn't looked at it in those terms before. Assuming the average price is about £200, then we would make a loss in 2018 on SL funding with 6,500 ST sales in 2017. I don't think anyone in their wildest dreams could see 6,500 ST sales for this season?!? But a decent increase on 2016 numbers would give RS more options for additions to the squad in 2017. The more I look at this, the more I like it

Basically I think Provident have offered to cover the costs of the season tickets should we go up. To be fair it needed something extreme to get people to commit in my eyes

Do we know for certain if Provident are covering the 20% if we don't go up or the full whack if we do? If so it's a hell of a bit of deal making by Marc Green.

I was waiting for someone to point this out about the massive income lift from getting into SL.
Along with Provident and extra gates it will easily cover the loss of 2k tickets.

5% cut is also nothing to worry about when the starting figure is so high for a championship club.
Don't compare this deal to the idiotic £60 ST sales. We will still be paying over £200 which is still a decent price for the club - and we all feel like we have been given something.

Well done Mr Green for giving these incentives and generating interest - but knowing the clubs back is covered if he has to pay out on them. It feels like something a "proper" businessman would think of - a win - win situation.

Does anyone no a free phone number for the club so I can ring up and get my ticket???

Yep, it's 999

Last night I couldn't see any deadline dates, but gone up on a separate posting on website today as End November. I'll be in for 2 as per this year.

Whilst I understand their reasons, the Season Ticket drive is making the official website pretty much unreadable. Seems like almost every day a "new" news item is posted, with exactly the same stuff about what you get with a season ticket. Going into the news section, it's just full of them.

I'm all for them making it the focal point of the site, but this seems a bit OTT to me. Will posting a "new" news item every day really make that much of a difference, other than making me and potentially others not bother going to the official website?

Agree with HamsterChops to an extent - I believe that the club have to tell the same story in umpteen different ways to maximise the buy in from our supporter potential, but simply flooding the website with it all at once probably isn't the right way to go about it.
