Season ticket details

People are going to moan about

1) The price increase's
2) The short turnaround for renewals
3) Probably everything else

Happy enough with it tbh. Even happier there has been an announcement. 2 in 2 days. Something is wrong!

No Sam on the picture for the advert is this a message he wont be here next year

Theres only been a quid per ticket increase hasnt there? I know that wont stop people moaning though

But Joel is on

If any of them go they want

after signing contracts not 12 month ago

My main beef is the seat renewal deadline. 3 weeks is not much time for manoeuvre after an expensive recent period that including a Cup Final. 5th December would have been better!

Season tickets have gone up by around £10 each.

Reasonable, I'd say and the tickets will be one of the least expensive in Superleague.

I agree with that TBH even though im not an existing season ticket holder. Im skint and ive got nowhere near as many responsibilities/bills/expenses that most fans will have so i suspect many may struggle to meet that deadline.

I reckon the renewal deadline falls before the fixtures are released for the 2012 season? Which is a bit daft tbh.

They normally extend the renewal deadline don't they? They surely will this time or else they may be disappointed with the numbers.

Do we not get a free challenge cup round 4 ticket (if it's round 4 we come in at) anymore? I actually hope not. It's costing some championship clubs a fortune. There should be cheap tickets but not free.

I read somewhere they are stopping the free challenge cup ticket now.

Good.

I noticed kids got free tickets for rounds 4,5 and 6 which is good but the small clubs need to be making money. Imagine if you were the chairman of a club averaging less then a 1000 fans and you draw Wigan. Back in the day you'd have been on for a windfall to help keep your club going yet over these past few years you'd get jack.

Another crazy RFL idea.

I used to think how many people went just because it was free? I reckon the people who actually turned up for games like Barrow at home last year would actually go anyway even if it was say a tenner for adults and free for kids. I didnt honestly see the point in the concept.

Exactly.

Even for free you only get the hardcore. If we drew York away for example we'd probably take 3000 or so with free tickets yet if we have to pay a tenner I'd still back us to take around 1500-1800 meaning York would be on for a mice earner.

I'd Gladys stick a tenner in any rugby league clubs pocket.

i'll wait and get a half ST later.
1. i cant afford one after splashing out on every cup game and play off game , plus plenty league games (x2)
2. i'll prob miss first 3 or 4 games, so itts of no benefit.

next

theres still a massive hike between Junior and Adult, assuming you arnt a student.
Will they ever learn???
there are dozens of kids who drop off every year and are selective about games, sometimes even finding other things to do instead..purely because of the price hike.
IMO we should be copying schemes like they have at Stockport county..ie..a 16-21 ticket to keep kids attending when they no longer qualify for juniors.
the price is only slightly higher than a junior ticket, and by the time these kids reach 21 chances are they;ll be earning enough to afford a full adult ticket.

i notice we do have a 16-18 ticket, but no details on price etc,

needs sorting IMO ....these kids are the future

just 1 question if anyone can help--my son is 4 + will turn 5 on the 2nd of feb,it says that juniors must be in the set age groups as of the 1st of feb so therefore would my son still get into games as under 5(free) as of course he will still be 4 on the 1st (i'll be 40 on the 2nd aswell woohoo)

The 16-18 price is listed as a concession and costs the same as a student one.


As long as you have a full paying adult season ticket as well then your 4 year old will (just about) be eligible for the under 5 season ticket.

Excuse me If I'm being a numpty, I ain't had a season ticket for last couple of years due to being away at uni but I'm interested in one for next season, just wondering does early bird just apply to season ticket holders or to general public too?

General public.

thanks for that leyther

an under 5's season ticket wasn't mentioned to me last season as i had to get a ticket for him before every game so that will be very handy

Just reading about the new incentive where if you are a season ticket holder and get someone else who is new to get one you can get nearly £50 quid of your st. And if you can somehow manage to get 5 new season ticket holders onboard you get yours free! Hopefully something like this can get even more bums on seats! Seems like a great idea.

Take-up will be low IMO to be honest...
How many people know 5 none-ST holders that they can persuade to shell out £200? Certainly not me.

Not a bad idea but don't see it being a roaring success

My main beef is:

Are they going to announce which trophy they are going to "target" next year?

If it's the C Cup again, then I will save my money.

same thing as last year. There was a good take-up. My mate got his ST for free.
