Didn’t get one this season. Missed too many games over the last few seasons with late fixture changes/ works commitments so decided to pay match by match.

I would say before the usuals get on their high horses I have forgone my season ticket refund, I just think that for those that haven’t it is not fair.'"
I don't agree. You paid to see a game. You were given preferential chance to see some of the games. In any other environment you'd have paid more for a premium ticket where only a few can go.

You came out on top with that policy then?

| I'm ok with being outraged on someone else's behalf when there is an issue but I'm pretty sure neither of you know a season ticket holder who has complained about this and does not have Internet access.
I can't remember but originally we were in single figures for those that wanted a refund so I don't think it's a massive issue.

I agree PT and I am sorry but I go against the grain on the understanding supporters that do request a refund for this season, the money is already paid whether you are happy with being able to watch the game online or not, I don`t think any true supporter of the club would request a refund (Granted there maybe some exceptional circumstances that I am not taking into consideration, if there are then I don`t mean to cause any offense, I just cannot picture myself ever requesting a refund of the club)
Moving forward however I could understand why someone would take the decision not to purchase a full price season ticket, although we do not yet know what the season ticket will include, what format we will be able to watch the games on etc so at this point we cannot really comment on that. I really feel for the club as we have no way of forecasting anything, it must be really difficult to look at planning when we just don`t know what the next 12 months entail.
I don`t know if the idea has been proposed in the past but I know I would certainly be interested at this point in backing the club with a multiple year season ticket, 5 or even 10 years - It may be risky in some aspect but would generate a good income for the club and would feel at this moment in time a better investment than a ticket for next year if that makes sense? Not sure how many would be in a position to purchase such a ticket, but I am sure there would be a few willing.

Maybe a bit over ambitious for many with the 5+ years expense without the guarantee of top flight rugby but I would certainly be happy to pay up front for a multi season ticket to get us through this sticky patch.
Maybe two seasons more realistic for many?

That thought hadn't even popped into my head re relegation TBH, surprisingly optimistic! I would agree, 2 or 3 years could be a good option.

People might try the commit six scheme. Payment is £26 a month x 12 months. I think you get 6 lines on the lottery, and the standard season ticket. That way, the club get a regular monthly income for the following season. I’ve mentioned on here before, a thousand fans paying £26 a month = £26,000. Per month, the club can sort out some of the following seasons finances with that kind of income

| I don't like the multi-year season ticket schemes to be honest, the club get a decent amount of money upfront but then nothing at the start of season 2 and 3 etc

| I purchased a Platinum season ticket at the start of the season (albeit it was an age concession one) and my mobile phone will send a text if I throw a shovel of coil on it first . On that basis I haven't seen a Trinity match since the restart as I don't subscribe to SKY Sports. I forfeited any refund for the benefit of the Club as I believe 95% of season ticket holders did. So It seems that now there are people complaining about there being no refunds.
Rather foolishly I took advantage of a cheap "Early Bird" season pass for Barnsley FC back in April as I thought all this pandemic business would probably be over. I'm not sure yet what the Club's policy on 20/21 ticket refunds is (if at all). There's one thing for sure though I won't be donating it to the greedy billionaires that own the club.

Yeah that is what is what I had in mind when I labelled it risky TBH Charlie, I guess it is wholly dependant though on where we are at with cash flow and just how desperate things may get for some clubs.

I don't think this is true.
So far one person has complained, on behalf of possibly no one, about the amount of refund.

| The problem with the club’s argument is that the only two games that were exclusively available to season ticket holders were the two on the our league app. With regards those on Sky these were available to anybody who subscribed which means season ticket holders are paying twice.

| The club did a 10 year season ticket around 20 years ago (I can't remember exactly when but I know cleverer people than me will) It cost £1000 and I think the going rate for a season ticket was around £100 a season then so it was based more or less on the going rate for 10 years with the saving being on the price increases as years went by. I bought one knowing that the club could be out of business in a season or two and it would be worthless but it was a gamble I was willing to take. I was lucky financially as I won £1000 in a competition so it went straight to the 10 year season ticket, there were more sensible things to do with but I ignored them. Financially I think I'd be able to afford another 10 year ticket if it were offered now but that's because I've not been to a pub for 8 months and saved a fortune by drinking bought in beer

No they didn't. The Sky subscription isn't for rugby it's for Sky.
There were always going to be Sky games so if that was an issue to anyone they knew before they bought the ticket.
Let's face it. You are arguing for the sake of it as you are not affected and you don't know anyone who is.
