She asked for ST's for xmas but as now 'first time buyers', for x3 ST's its just far too expensive'" '"
There must be a decent number of supporters in your situation (coming back for season tickets after a number of years without one - I did similar when I had kids early 00's), it really is something the club should try and look at. Not only are you coming back you're bringing a brand new supporter with you.
I do believe there should be a number of packages the club should offer, such as:
A 'welcome back' package - previously a season ticket holder who's been absent for more than one year.
A 'Family Welcome back' package - previously a season ticket holder bringing along new supporters (partner, kids) with further a discounted rate.
What is value worth to the club of a single supporter back for the first time since, say 2015, now coming back to the game with a missus and two kids in tow, willing to buy season tickets and merchandise for the next ten years?

| Quote: TonyM19 "This is the first season since 2020 that we have had a season ticket (we had one for at least 10 years before the pandemic). We knew that we would miss some games this season but we thought that we could fall back on the system where you can swap tickets for game you miss for ones later in the season to make it worth our while. Together with letting pour kids use them for some games it was a decent saving. We have done ticket swaps in the past, but its not available any more. Minor gripe I know, but it just makes it not cost effective for us to have the season tickets from now on. Just flagging it up if anybody else was thinking of swapping tickets.'"
Sorry could you clarify this? What do you mean by swapping tickets?

| If you couldn't make a game, you could swap your tickets to a different game later in the season. We used to do it regularly. Meant that we could bring friends/family to the game we could make. You can't do it now. No big deal, but it was a factor in us deciding top get season tix from a price per game point of view

So my understanding is that if you cant make it to a game (holiday,illness,cant be d etc) you could give the ticket to anyone later on to get in free but you could also use your ticket aswell,that doesnt make commercial sense as it isnt the clubs fault that you are missing a game but the club gets stung for £28 upwards.

Commercial risk that probably didn't work so is no longer available.
We now have memberships where people can pick and choose.

Your understanding is wrong. You couldn't let someone else use your ticket. It was cancelled for the game you couldn't make and you got extra tickets for a different game. It's no big deal. I just thought you could still do it. The person I spoke to at the ticket office said they stopped it last year. It must have been a real sphere ache to manage so it's understandable that they've stopped it. It just tips the value of getting a season ticket over the edge for us and it will be a membership net season
