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!

This is very true but this is the Bulls your talking about ha ha ha

As a marketing exercise this whole 'pledge take 2' was always going to fail. I think last year the pledge was an excellent idea and was really well implemented and achieved it's goal for the year. Having then copied this idea and moved the goal posts twice (in increasing the cost per ticket and the amount needed to achieve) for the 2012 season there was always only going to be a slim chance that this would have been achieved.

I think the way that they marketed the pledge has been good this year, but there is still no transparency from the club around the specifics of the pledge - more transparency and there would be less cases of isaac1 and plenty more pledges.

A longer pledge period would have been good, or a shift from the pledge into a more solid platform of - first 3000 get it for £75, next 3000 get it for £85 and so on and so on. But who knows - it's always going to be a struggle with so much negativity surrounding the on pitch performances.

No brainier really - by increasing pledge numbers, you are helping other fans who have also pledged.

The problem is that when the prices are announced, they will probably stay at said price for the entire season. Fans that did not pledge will then purchase for the price requested and we may then have 1000-2000 fans paying a higher fee. Collectively, these fans could have made a contribution to the pricing, but for one reason or another, decided not to pledge.

Shame really, people should have requested more information if uncertain. Those, that realistically, thought the club would take legal action to recover the amount if you didn't fulfil the pledge obligation, are mad. The club need money, they are not going to waste legal fees recovering £95 from each individual, to also lose them as a future supporter!

I do find it odd that people are stating the reasons they didn't pledge, which the confusion could have been cleared up by simply calling the club or posting on here. But said individuals would rather query after the pledge deadline, to then say "If I had known that last week!".....

The club needs the support of everyone, more now than ever!!

It's also been said on this forum that it was possible to buy a £75 guaranteed ticket as recently as last week. Those 3000 were only for those actually pay, not just for the first 3000 pledges.

So, the 'I was away so didn't pledge' argument seems odd, unless the OP has holidays that last for two months!

Sunday 14th of August to now is not two months.

Yeah, OK, five weeks then



Wow, did we only have the pledge running for 5 weeks

Why does the "Pledge Counter" say 32 Days? A deadline extension would make sense!

So it does

Looks like tomorrows announcement will be a pledge extension (until October 21st or thereabouts?)

Would be an eminently sensible move 'for mine'

Or it could be deadline for people renewing reserved seating as mentioned in other thread. a pledge extension would make sense, particulary given uncertainty around lynch and further recruitment, but would have thought they would announce it before reseting counter.
