Yes there was one with a coupon out of the WE to get it at £20.

as you have pointed out earlier in the thread clubs are trying to find ways of improving income, the was told at the supporters trust meeting by James that the way this offer works is based on a aussie club who has a if I remember right 30K season ticket holders but don't get that in the gate.

it works by being cheaper to allow games that you miss hence the low price that we have this year,

could you imagine the fickle fans that say they care about their local side actually getting on board with the idea. we would have the same as the Bradford Bulls did last season and is going to do the same same this season

The idea is right we just now need to convince the Wakefield public and like what has been echo'ed so many times on hear just get the promotion right we are not that far away

Some of the wakefield public such as me and my partner wanted to order season tickets at start of september when we got paid however couldnt afford to pay £200 for the 2 tickets then part way through the month the cost was allowed to be split between 2 payments but by this time we couldnt afford so now we will just be picking our matches as payday isnt till the first fri in october and we can't sign up for the offer now.

People are on here slagging people off over not buying the option when for some people they simply cant afford.

So instead of watching all the games and spending money in the bar, club shop and on food we will watch maybe 5 or 6 games for the season as we wont have the cash to spend every time we go.

This is a situation that i know is quite a few people I work with are in, they missed the chance at beginning of september due to paying for money on credit cards etc spent over the summer.

They want to sign up but the cut off date means that they cant.

Why not extend the offer by a month allowing more fans to sign up, reach the target and make everyone happy. Surely more people at games buying beers, food etc will make the club more money in the long run!! Just a bit of common sense.

Mind you common sense and wakefield dont always mix well!!

£200 is a lot of money and not everyone can stump up front for the deal, i do feel its been badly done and not thought through but its maybe down to the frantic events that have taken place over the last 6 months.

Nobody should be slagging anyone off over loyalty and finances mate.

I have a feeling if the targets not reached it may be extended and should be to allow fans like you a chance to support the club.

The shop is going to be open on Saturday October the 1st to allow people who get paid at the end of September to get their tickets and split the payment into 2 £50 payments. This means you no longer have an excuse not to get one now.

It does seen as i dont get paid till the 7th of october. Still got my son one at £20 though cos could afford that!!

having the limited period is there for the fans to take advantage of the offer and also dip feed the coffers at a time when not much money is coming into the club,
not sure why within the limited period is there no facility to sign up for extended payments which would of made it far easier for the likes of you that find it harder to pay in full.

I know they have gone now to a two payment scheme but still doesn't go all the way for some and I think that we could of doubled the season ticket tally if they had done so.

if we don't reach the target and I have to cough up a further £150 I might be looking at a return as the bloody washing machine is on its last legs, that's how tight things are getting

Everyone gets paid on the 1st of October, thats news to me mate.

Well hopefully we hit the 2500 mark and then the £100 offer remains open for everyone else all the way through to start of the season so that people such as yourself can get one!

I don't mean to come across as patronising and I don't profess to know the financial circumstances of others, but if those that get paid on the first Friday of the month are complaining that they used their last pay to clear a credit card bill inclusive of summer spending, but didn't have the additional funds available for a season ticket, why can they not use the same credit card now to purchase a season ticket today and pay it off when they get paid on the first Friday of next month? The time between the payment and clearing the payment would not have interest charged on it. The cut off date in that case only effects those that don't have a credit card or those who were planning to pay with cash only.

If the cut off date was today it wouldn't change the ability to do this, and unless those that are using this reason as a means for not buying a season ticket don't understand how a credit card works or are still paying off their summer spend, that is nothing other than an excuse.

There was no reason that the ticket offer couldn't have run until 31st January, that would have given those who signed up in August a full six months to find £100.

You could have joined the scheme at any time between Aug & Jan on the understanding that it had to be paid by equal monthly payments so had you joined in Oct you would make 4 equal monthly payments of £25, Nov 3 equal payments of £33.33 and so on.

Sandwiching the offer into a six week period that falls between Summer holidays, back to school and Christmas while also expecting fans to pay for the last few games of the 2011 season was poor planning of a very good offer.

Here's a controversial one for you all!

What if the club achieve the number required and therefore achieve a number of season ticket sales that the previous regime could only dream of? Would it then be a stroke of genius - not to say a massive cash injection for the club!

Just saying like!

Is that the case, I thought this was an early incentive at £100?
I assumed afterwards that the price would go back up to the normal ST price.

Think the idea is to put a quarter of a million pounds in the coffers at the end of this season, rather than over the next 4 months.

I imagine that puts the club in an entirely different place with such things as ground upgrades and player recruitment.
