ok, heres my big confession. I have not pledged for myself, my wife, or my three children this year. There is one major reason why: The club have given me no idea how much I will be committed to paying if the pledge target is not hit. In todays economic climate, I cannot commit to anything that invovles me signing up for something without knowing how much it will cost. i accept having to do this with my mortgae, and fuel bills, but they are an essential part of life and at the moment a Bulls season ticket is not! I wouldve pledged if the price was right, but the club are conjouring up the prices today. Just wondering how many other people are like me, and if that couldve made a positive difference?

Didn't the first 3000 get prices guaranteed at £75 or did I dream that?

Either way £100 for the season is still worthwhile if you go to 5 games or more.

Correct. And even those pledging and not in first 3k to pay were only commiting to buy at the £75 price point.

Well I'm alright Jack.

so, in theory, 9000 people pledge. club announce ground tickets at £150.
3000 get themn for 75. two thousand more pay 150, and the other 4000 dont bother because its not as cheap as they hoped and there was no actual commitment?

Theres a flaw in this isnt there????

in effect the club could have the equivalent of as little as 3000 people actually having to pay! i suppose that keeps us afloat for a few weeks!

I know, I missed the boat on the first 3000 as i was away, but who knows if its going to be £100 ??? thats the point i was making. perhaps publishing the sliding scale during the pledge period might have let a few poelpe like me sleep a little easier and pledge???

I guess the club had to have an idea of numbers before deciding on the final figures.

You'll have to wait and see.

Sliding scale was published!. Basically ticket goes up by £7.50 for every 1000 below 12k target we are. So 10k pledges should be £90 for example. Whether they stick to this scale in view of poorer than expected response we'll find out tomorrow.

I had an idea it wouldve been, but couldnt find it anywhere! didnt receive any mailing from the club so perhaps it was detailed on that rather thanh posted on the website?

Was in the FAQ on the website I think. Also in the mailing and in t&a articles.

Edit: just double checked and breakdown is in pledge FAQ. Not quite as simple as £7.50 per 1000 as they've weighted figures a bit round pledge target. 11k is £80, 10k is £90 which is what I suspect final figure will be based on how much out counter was last year.

just found the pledge FAQs section. It gives price allocations for pledges of 10000+ members. nothing below.

so no certainty of cost.

also, it states that by pledging you are entering into a contract that is binding. I am guessing this is at the £75 level, but its not made clear.

thought yours was a good response until you suggested i should pledge to help others get it at a cheaper price. surely thats not a selling point?

Ha ha i know just me being selfish but i would buy a season ticket regardless of the pledge anyway, if you would have pledged and they did not reach 10000+ then you are not commiting to anything so therefore would not be binded to buy which is a point well made by Adeybull in your other post,

it is mis-guiding a little bit but you are pledging to buy ONLY if 10000+ are met at a set price

I guess the point i am making on here is that it could have been much more clearly communicated!
