We need to push the final 2 weeks of the offer, Why not get it front page of the Wakey express, put flyers though letter boxes, and use our new shirt sponsors "the Ridings" even posters around the shopping centre may turn a few heads, 1 thing if we fail to get 2500 sales before 30th it will be extremely dissapointing on the fans behalf, AG and the Club are doing there best to drive the Club forward and obviously the supporters of Wakefield are not behind him... Sad, I have a feeling the offer may be extended purely because of the time of year and economic times, but come on People £100 for a season ticket is a steal, but £175 is a different kettle of fish. Your choice

sorry if this has been covered in the other topics on this subject, and please lock this if it has - but:

I live in Wigan and don't get to the shop much in the close season. I ordered my season ticket on-line a couple of weeks ago and hadn't received it - so rang the shop.

They are not issuing season tickets until November because they are waiting to see if we reach the 2,500 target first.

IF NOT - the season ticket price will be the full price irrespective of when you ordered the ticket - i.e. NO-ONE HAS BOUGHT THEIR SEASON TICKET AT THE OFFER PRICE UNTIL WE REACH THE 2,500 TARGET!

Everyone will be contacted requesting the additional funds if we don;t reach the target - and you will be able to claim your original 'stake' back if you don't want to proceed.

SO JUST FOR CLARITY: Is this what everyone else considers that offer to be?

I work in the banking and communication business - I'm not stupid (honestly) but I believe the wording of our ticket offer to be misleading and I'm not sure how this will look if we miss the target and we then have to go back to everybody for additional funding. Have cash payments been handed over? what about the split payment offer? etc etc.

I made the point to the shop that, to my knowledge, despite a lot of pages of discussion on this tpoic on the message boards - the club do not appear to have used the internet as a medium for correcting any misunderstandings (despite the fact that I'm assured 'anyone who has been into the shop to pay has been told this'.

I've had a season ticket for more years than I care to remember - irrespective of the price I'll be getting one next year - but I've pointed other people at this offer who may very well feel misled in the way we are fufilling this initiative.

Is it just me???????

It has been discussed several times and the general consensus is that the wording of the offer from the club is very misleading.

There will definitely be quite a few people asking for their money back if we don't hit the target rather than paying the additional £75.


Having said that I still don't understand why we shouldn't hit this target, we have IMO at least 3500-4000 regular attendees and taking up this offer means people can see every game for under £8 a game, or can afford to miss over half the games and it still be cheaper than buying on the day.
It is a fantatsic offer but has not been sold correctly IMO which is strange when you consider that is our Chairmans forte!!

It really does need clarifying.

I had assumed that the people in the shop were mistaken and the price would remain at £100 should the target be met, but rise to £175 for all tickets bought after September should we miss the target.

I can see sense in the offer in that a cash injection at this point would help to reduce any borrowing needed for the ground improvements and signings.

The asking for an extra £75 from the ones who have pledged seems to make no sense at all. If 2000 people buy at £100 quid that's £200k. If half of these ask for a refund that's £175k at the new price and a lot of disgruntled people. Many people are buying at the reduced rate because they will miss a significant number of games.

I cannot attend all games mainly due to the wife wanting to go on holiday during the season(unreasonable I know), however at this price it makes economic sense and I will be put out if I have to pay the extra £75.

How does the wife going on holiday prevent you from attending games? Surely it means you will have more time on your hands for the finer things in life, like beer and rugby. Or does she make you go with her?

Tin hat on, if we can't get 2500 at £100 a go, we are in a sorry state!

I don't think it was misleading at all! Unless i've been misled and don't know it - I assumed it was 100 quid if we sold 2500 by end of sept, then should be fail to achieve that number then you can pay the extra 75 or ask for a refund?

Thought it was just me, initially there was confusion regarding the situation if the target wasn’t achieved as it wasn’t stated, but since it has been it’s clear as day.

We are already well over half way and I have heard there is now going to be a further commercial sales push. Its only my opinion but if we get anywhere near close I think he will honour the price. I think the logistical complications and the negative PR would not be worth it for the sake of 100 tickets or so.

I think we can - the PR and marketing effort to back up the offer has been very limited; bit disappointing really.

Agreed.

just phoned the club shop it turns that if you go on line you can get that offer, if you take time out to go to the club shop and pay in person you don't
