| A rise to £150 on the same terms as last year would have been fine.
Buying season tickets for next year suddenly announced with a 2 week deadline at this stage seems strange and something doesn't feel right.
My circumstances have changed a bit anyway but won't be renewing on this basis.

| I would get one at that price but not in the next 2 weeks i'm afraid. So for the first time in god knows how many years, i'm out.
Enjoy next season people.

| Why couldnt there be a deposit of say £50 in the next two weeks and the rest by October/November? seems quite bizzare that they have suddenly come up with this offer and its for two weeks only, cash up front!!

| WTW must be the first club to be selling ST's for next year. I think its just a matter of striking whilst the iron is hot so to speak. Good form and why not. At £150 its a snip.

| The club have received one cash offer for a player - that we know of. We also know that Captain Fantastic is wanted at more than one club. Clearly there are opportunities for the club to 'cash in' on one or more of these - and that may yet happen but, in the meantime, they have put out a very fair deal for season tickets, which people have a choice as to whether they take or not, but for those that can afford, they will surely be reducing the pressure to sell.
We will get ours - as we would buy them anyway at some point!

| I would be a bit miffed if after buying my season ticket they went ahead and sold either of those two.
Has as been said before we were not going to be a selling club and judging by the recent interviews I have seen both players seem very happy at the club.
ATEOTD I will probably take up the offer, like I always do

I disagree its a fair deal. The price is fair, but the timescale isn't. If the deadline was, say, before the end of the regular season then fair enough, it gives people chance to juggle there finances to try and fit it in. But to give less than a fortnight from the official announcement to the deadline smacks of nothing more than desperation, a last throw of the dice from a management that knows its in it up to its neck.
Sorry but the timing rules me out, and out of principle i won't pay an extra 20% for mine and the missus' tickets later on just because the powers that be have put what i feel is unrealistic timescales in place. So i'll pick and choose next year, but once the habit is broken I might not bother at all. Our household will have spent over a grand on the clib this year, like i do every year and i'm pretty sure i could find something else to spend that on.

Fair point about timescale, a lot of people don't get paid until the last day of the month, so the 22nd could rule quite a few people out.
Does seem a bit of a strange offer, but still good value if you have the money available now.

| Agree with what others have said, if this isn't about needing money quickly, then the instalment option should be made available. After all, if the club are not in desperate need of funds now, why can't people commit now but pay a deposit and the balance on instalments. It is after all the off/next seasons money

| Quote: feline "people around me heard it at the game and pointed out that most fans get paid at the end of the month therefore will not have been paid again before the offer ends. Also folk may have just been or not yet been on their summer holiday so be short of cash . Others may have gone away yesterday for 2 weeks so will miss the offer. There was such an amazing take uo last season I would have thought the fans loyalty would be rewarded by letting them have at least till the end of August to pay at £150 , together we are stronger and all that.'"
This post is a bit glass half empty from you feline
But here is a suggestion to your dilemma. Why not buy it on the credit card and pay it back in a couple of months I am sure the 20% discount would make it financially worthwhile to do that.

| I can't believe people are finding things to moan at with a two week offer to renew for £150.
Wait until they go on general sale at £180 then its still a bargain.
I've said this for ages we should be paying at least £200 for STs if we want to watch a top eight side with any chance of developing any further.
Some of us want everything but are not prepared to pay the going rate.

The price is more than fair, the time frame is concerning. Its very random. It would've made more sense for the deadline to be the end of the month.
