| Quote: Levrier "What does it cost to pay at the gate? I will look at the games that I cannot go to, do the maths and decide whether to buy a season ticket. Season tickets are still good value but I find it more difficult each year to fit it around the increased demands from work to be always avaliable. That is what did for my Latics season ticket.'"
The difference between a warriors and latics season ticket is that for almost the same price, you get either 13 or 23 games included. For those of a blue persuasion, if you intend to go to more than 10 games out of the 23, you are better off by having a season ticket, as the matchday price is around £25 for adults. For a warriors fan, in order to break even, you will have to go to 10 or 11 out of 13 games, some of which will be at unpopular times due to sky messing about with the fixtures.

| I love the convenience of the season ticket but how many of us depend on the weekly ritual of 'can you do Friday and Saturday evenings this week'? Personally I cannot guess how many games I can go to. It was so simple in the days of 9 to 5 Monday to Friday.

But the cost saving, as pointed out, is marginal in the Warriors' case, so that buying a ST is less about saving money than 'supporting the club'.'"
It's also about guaranteeing your seat (in the East & West stands) with the family & friends around you that you enjoy watching the rugby with. Plus, in the case of some of our friends, the comfort of knowing that a decent seat is guaranteed if and when the appalling traffic jam that is the M6 means you make it with two minutes to spare to kick-off again.

| I don't know about the people you're surrounded by being 'family and friends', , but I take your point. I had a nice seat last season and will be happy to keep it. I'd like to know about the guy who sits on my left, who seemed to disappear at half-time every game, though.

The reason we buy season tickets is to retain the same seats every year . It makes no economic sense to do so as more than likely a Thursday home game will pop up that we can't get to.

We first got those seats in 1999 and got lucky with the people around us, I suppose. We've become friends, we've seen the kids grow up, get married & have kids themselves, we've lost a couple of friends who've died, and laughed and damn near cried together. The community/friendship side of it is something that's worth celebrating even when the rugby isn't.
