You pay membership until you cancel. Under the current system, as long as you are a member, you can buy a match pass for whatever the price was, that then covers all your games. If you're not a member you pay the full ST price in one go (if you can find it).

there was 3 membership packages for 2012
Reds membership card £1 per week for membership £ 13 pay as you go Matchday card
Reds premier membership £2.50 per week for membership - free match pass + extras
Reds premiership + membership £3.50 per week - free match pass + more extras

If you've taken these out by DD they continue to run 52 wks/ 12 months annually,
for next season they can notify existing DD members of any changes to these deals and basically you will continue to be on these deals next season unless you notify them otherwise.
As Chico states it's like a DW Sports membership. and it's in their interests to keep this going.

I'm pretty sure you still had to pay for the match pass on top of the DD. Maybe £50 early bird, £70 later. I seem to remember a few people not happy with the way it was advertised:

hypothetically speaking ... if the Club go into administration and fold, where do I stand on having a 5-year fully paid season ticket? Do I just lose the money or will I be able to get this back?

I suspect you would be an unsecured creditor - ie at the bottom of the list to get anything back - however let's look on the bright side, the club isn't going to fold is it!!!!

I feared that would be the case



Does anybody know what rights as a consumer I would have for a refund on such an advanced purchase, whilst the Club is still operational?

I'd ask the Club but there was no answer when I rang yesterday!

I hope the Club doesnt fold, but it's quite a large sum of money to risk and I'm not much of a gambling man!

I will happily re-purchase my season ticket next season at 2013 prices, if we have one, so they stand to make extra money out of me, win win for all

The saving grace maybe if you have paid with a credit card. I'm no expert, but if that is the case and you have paid for services which have not been delivered then I think you can get the credit card company to pay out. It might be worth researching that or asking them the question directly.
