Cast your mind back to your undergraduate days. There are 5 elements to a Contract, they are:

1. Invitation to Treat.
2. Offer.
3. Acceptance.
4. Consideration.
5. Performance.

The flyer offering ST's at £100 is the Invitation to Treat. You have made an Offer of £100.00 and the Club has accepted your offer (Acceptance) by taking your money which is the Consideration. Performance is the handing over to you of the ST but this has not happened yet because they have not been printed.

I believe that you have a contact and the Club must give you a ST for the £100 you have given them. I do not believe Contractually they can ask for any additional sum.

As I have posted on the TV Advert thread I dont know why everyone is getting so wound up. If you have committed to purchase a ST for £100 you will get one whether the traget of 2,500 is achieved or not. There is no way the Club are going to risk a PR and Financial disaster by asking for more money (which is contractually wrong in my opinion) or giving people their money back.

Here's the link to the original article on the website: www.wakefieldwildcats.co.uk/news ... w/2011/08/ "Payment is required in full for this fantastic offer" reads to me like you can't split payments, not pay 100 quid and you get your season ticket regardless. The paragraphs before and after the hotly disputed "in full" statement make this clear, at least to me. You could argue whether payment in full means the same as pay the full price, but given the context, I can't see what the debate is about. But then I'm not a solicitor, and don't earn a crust arguing about the many possible interpretations of the bleeding obvious.

I was told on the 'phone about the possibility of being asked for another £75, but having received this email I just don't see how they can now ask for more. Without this confirmation maybe, but not now (email received a few days ago, despite me ordering on day 1 of the offer)...

Member. We consider every Member a crucial part of Wakefield Trinity
Wildcats Family. Blah blah blah...no mention anwhere that this purchase is in any way conditional.

Hearwell Stadium?? What happened to Rapid Solutions Stadium?

I believe that's what we call an 'details' error. Someone not changed something over. Silly mistake/oversight.

Do we have a current figure as to the number sold??

All been well another 2 golds on Friday/Saturday here

Sorry but I think a lot of you are being really thick on this one. The offer WAS clear but I get the impression some of you will kick off if asked to pay more? If you didn't get the offer in the first place then you should have asked about it then. If you are going to kick off then that shows stupidity on your behalf and in my opinion a lack of support for the club.

I understood it perfectly. But I do think if we are just short that raising it by £75 would be highly detrimental to st figures.

There is no way the price will be increased by 75 quid, regardless of the amount sold or the ambiguous wording of the various documents that have been quoted.

This time last year, we had sold 100 ST's; to date, we've sold in excess of 2,000 - the club will be well satisfied with that and there's no way they'll risk alienating the people who are already bought in.

My comment wasn't aimed directly at you, sorry if it came across like that. I just don't get why people are hinting they would take legal action against a club they are supposed to love purely for not understanding the simple conditions of the season ticket offer!

I agree with your point about the implications of raising the price though. Me and my mate who have our names down for tickets would be getting our cash back. I can't guarantee being able to attend 9 home games so I probably wouldn't be better off by getting a season ticket (especially when considering any special offers that may be on the gate price for any particular game).

You only need to attend 5 games to break even
