| Quote ="Slugger McBatt"Now a cynic would say that it is shrewd tactics, worthy of, say, a double glazing salesman. Get twice as many people signed up as previous based upon a target you probably won't reach. On 1st October, ring everyone up and give them the hard sell, and if you keep 75% of them, you've increased your season ticket sales by 50% and at full price.
Just saying, like
'"
I was thinking the same, but if say 2200 bought before the deadline then I would be tempted to put ST price up to £120. And ask for the £20 or a refund. I would like to think that nearly every one would pay that £20 extra.
The season hasn't ended till next week. I'm sure the ST offers will be advertised more. Probably inn the run up to Xmas.
would be interested to see how many are bought at last home game. Shop needs to be manned well.

Agreed..
I went looking for it on website and eventually gave up after pressing buy tickets.. it's not obvious and it should be it really should.

You press the "membership" button, not the tickets.

You are applying to become a member of the club, of which there are three tiers. The Gold membership gets you into all of the games, and the silver and bronze get you into fewer.
I think it's a spin off from the membership requirements of the RFL, and so by offering limited season tickets (bronze memberships) you increase your membership by offering cheaper versions, rather than the all or nothing nature of season tickets.

| Having just read the email from the club about membership prices, I wonder if the people in the shop misunderstand the offer. There is nothing in the email that even hints that you might be asked to pay more, and in fact it makes clear that the payment of £100 was "payment in full".

When a shop has a January sale, they don't go asking for the customers who bought in January for more money when the sale has ended. I read that as meaning that if you buy after 30th September, the price might have gone up. In law, I don't think they would be able to ask for more money.
My email said "Payment is required in full for this fantastic offer." I have, therefore, paid in full, and that was £100.
The problem is that in law, I think the club are wrong if that is what they are doing. The bigger problem for me is that if it is a misunderstanding, people may be put off because of the risk of being asked for more money.
There is not one statement anywhere in writing that says you will be asked for more. It is advertised as a time-limited offer.

| The A-boards around town can plug a gym but not the season ticket offer. That needs sorting.

| When the coaching position is announced , then there should be one massive ticket promotion push that should be extended to the end of October to let everyone get used to the new coaches plans & future signings.

| Anyone seen any adverts yet?
Anyone heard how many have been sold yet?
What will you do if it goes up to £175? Personally, I can't guarentee getting to ten games next season so i'd get a refund and pay on the gate.

| What I find hard to believe is that when this offer was first put forward loads of supporters wanted in and that many would get a ST even if they did`nt get SL status but since Richard Agar has been banded about as the possible coach people are saying that there money will not be going into a season ticket. I always thought that the club was bigger than any player or coach.

| I think the slight problem here is fans are holding back because of several things.
1. Holiday period - extend the offer until end of October
2. Start being honest with us - we don't want to feel let down.
3. Make the coach announcement - everyone is bored now.
4. Let him sign some quality players - we may start believing again
I do find it strange to set the target of ticket sales to the end of September, go on a signing spree and then everything just seems to stop dead and we seem to be losing a couple of players.
Come on guys let's get back on it, we may not have the biggest crowds but we have the loyalist fans. We support you so please support us back and let us know what the hell is going on.

| If the funding for 4/5 new players is made available to the coach some of this may well come from the 2500 season ticket sales which could be why the early dead line is set. If the club is now to be run more as a business then the club need to make sure the money is there to sign these 4 players.
So far sales are encouraging and we have around double ST holders now than we did at pre season 2011 and the season hasn't even ended yet. I will be getting mine this month and I encourage others to do the same if they are holding off.
If we back the club for 2012 and the numbers are there it can only be a positive step.
Would be good to know where we are on ST sales numbers after the Bulls game.
To have sold 2500 a few weeks after the season finishes will be a huge boost for the club. Then around Xmas Market like hell to increase numbers.
The task through 2012 will be to put in the business on the field and keep the ST holders happy then look at a revised target for 2013 of more than 2500.

| From what I am lead to believe funding is already in place for a further four or five signings. I'd imagine the £250k would go a long way towards helping with the running costs of the club during the off season when income streams are minimal as there'll still be plenty of wages and bills to pay. Its an amazing offer and no matter who the coach is we'd all be extremely silly not to take it up. As an aside if you could only make 6 matches next season then by buying a season ticket you have already made a profit so to speak and by just attending five you'd be no better or worse off and better off than if you'd forked out £30 for a silver membership. Come on folks lets back the club on this one, bugger 2500 lets go for 3500 - 4000 and show the people in charge that we are prepared to back them all the way. They've put their money where their mouths are so far its now time for the supporters of this club to show them that we will do the same.

Must admit I'm disappointed with the whole manner of the Agar saga, although inevitably I'll end up getting another ST. Being a wakey fan is like having a woman who is no good for you, but you keep coming back for more. Come on AG get your hand in your pocket for a top half back and all will be forgiven.

I hope you fought off the apathy, if not you missed one of our best performances for a long time, admittedly helped by the fact that Bradford were really poor.
