Shows that the Bull's marketing stategy is one that they fear.

What's wrong with it? Of course it's a swipe at Bradford, but seems to me in a good natured enough way, nothing wrong with a bit of healthy competition, and good luck to Shudds with it! A tad embarrassing that it is now a promise, not a pledge, at the Bulls but hey, nobody's perfect



Now if they could as a result bring more than 25 fans to the Odsal fixture. . .

does anybody know how well it is going in terms of turning pledges into actual ticket sales.not a great deal of info coming from the club.

Well they've put extra staff in the ticket office, so there might be a clue there..................

What, you now want/expect the club to have a seasonticketsaleometer up or something? Why, ffs?

Just paid for the tickets and used this years team card points towards the cost. In doing this we found out when they put free points on the cards, for the cheap entry games near the seasons end, they added the 1000 points to all season tickets including junior and free U8's ones, so that was another £20 off.

We've got £90 of points to spend in the shop. Where has the money come from and by claiming am I doing harm to the clubs finances.

i imagine the cost will be shared between the club the company running teamcard and the outlets that have signred up to it.converted mine into vouchers for later on,cant afford not to use them.

depends whether youve used the the teamcard during the year when making purchases from any of the partners. If your points have only come from the ones added by the club as compensation for the cheaper entry games then I suppose technically you are taking money out of club. But on a related not does anyone know what happens to unclaimed points when they are wiped at end of month. Does the club get the money or does the operating company (teamcard) get it or does it just revert back to the contributing partners (including the club)?. its only if the last option is true that the club would benefit financially from you not claiming the points I think.

First I've heard about unclaimed points being "wiped at the end of the month"? If they are, I'd guess the unclaimed points would go to the team on the teamcard, seems little point in the club signing up to it if not.

I would assume the opposite. I would guess that the main thing Teamcard get out of it will be the money from unused points. The club are already getting things out of it by encouraging people to go to the shop in the first place for their discount.

Or perhaps they're simply shared. But I'd be surprised if Teamcard themselves don't get a nice share of it.

So we can redeem points from this season and carry them on into 2011?

No. Points earned this season have to be redeemed by oct 31st or u lose them. U cant carry them over.

I've had a look on the teamcard website but I can't find anything about this. Don't suppose you know just where it is??

I'll have a scout around and try and find it online. think it was on original letter that came with season ticket but it was discussed on here in last few weeks too iirc.

edit: found it. on october 5th in thread RE:2011 season tickets prices. couple of posts down.

Cheers mate. That was my intention, to use the points on a new shirt. No-one said anything when I got my ticket for next year though, which was a bit off to be honest, in fact it doesn't look as though the points for buying my season ticket have been put on either. Still, I never expected it to be worth anything so I guess I've lost 'nowt'.

I've just been (again) on the teamcard website and found the T & C. It does mention a couple on instances where points may be deducted (to do with problems with third party shops), and it says that anyone not using the card for six months will be contacted to see if the cardholder still wants to keep the account active, but there is no mention of any routine forfeiting of points . I wonder if the lady at the Bulls has got it wrong? They do make mistakes, as I pointed out on the last post, my card wasn't credited when I bought my season ticket. I'm beginning to wonder if this is just another rumour?

Can you purchase items online from the Bulls Webstore and use your Team Card points to get discount or do you have to go in to the club shop at Odsal?

Margaret wasn't there behind the counter, it was one of the other girls. She specifically asked me twice whether I wanted to use my points for the season tickets - but I declined as I was going to use them for a 2011 shirt nearer Xmas. I'm trying to remember her exact wording. She said "You need to use your points by 31st October as they are not valid after that date". She was quite specific about the points needing to be used.

I called into the office this afternoon and was given the same info. use the points or lose them. mind you £45 for a season ticket!

You can exchange your points for vouchers in the club shop, I emailed them about a week ago.

Was told last night (thursday) new shirts should be in end of Nov but points have to be used by the end of Oct. use them or lose them. So season ticket was even better value

I paid for my season tickets today. £99 tickets for £79 using the points on my cards. I only used my cards for Matchday entry so not bad all in all....

from bulls website

Having purchased your season ticket/membership for 2011, an information pack containing the Membership Cards and how to activate them will be despatched direct to every fan at or around the end of the first week in December

Any team card points can also be redeemed in the way of club shop vouchers that have no expiry on them. Of course this needs to be done before the 31st October as the points are taken away after this date.
