Doesn't justify them being able to see every game for £77 less than a ST holder.
As I said, the idea is good, the pricing structure is wrong.
Find me another club in the country where a paying customer can watch every game for less than a ST holder.

But nobody is forcing a season ticket holder to buy a season ticket. The membership deal is there for everybody to take advantage of if they want one.
Dave Wayne wrote:Exactly the same as last year. People choose not to understand the argument.
Having a season ticket is not about 'kudos' as Dan puts it, it is about making a commitment to the club as a supporter.
We give our money up front, which helps the club through the summer period when there is no income from matchday sales, and they have that money irrespective of how the season is going both on and off the pitch.
Any other form of attendance is done on an 'ad hoc' basis and you cant stop attending and stop giving funding to the club at any point in the season. We can stop attending if we choose to but they still have our money.
Therefore, this commitment should be rewarded by being the best option available. 91 clubs in the football league recognise this fact but ours doesn't.
Add to this the fact that for a match not covered by the season ticket, ST holders are the only ones who have to buy their tickets either in person or on the phone during working hours due to the poor online ticketing system, while others can buy online at any time of the day or night, and you can understand why ST holders are getting disgruntled. The advantages of being an ST holder are being eroded by the club.
PS Not everyone wants to sit in the Quarry Lane stand.

Approximately 800 memberships – which entitle members to purchase home match tickets at half price when bought in advance of matchday – have been snapped up by Stags’ fans.

In future seasons, can I suggest that people buy the deal that suits them, and not complain about the deals they don’t want?

Yeah you could suggest it but it makes you look like a right arse...
Before we go any further, we'd best just check if there's anything else you want to censor while your at it? Can we discuss players, tactics, management etc under your new regime?
My bad, Beano, I thought this was a discussion forum where people could, you know, give opinions on all things stags related, of which ticketing and pricing is a reasonably big topic.
Maybe this censorship idea of yours could extend further. Instead of criticising a player, simply close your eyes when they have the ball, then you'll have no need to complain about their performance...

Jamie wrote:Exactly Dave. Members can attend a handful of games, decide its crap and not return. Having done so at a cheaper rate than ST holders who commit to there cost per game for every game up front. It's just not right.
They should limit the membership deal to a fixed number of games throughout the season. Or at least structure this so a ST is still cheaper per game or make the membership fee higher so there is more of a commitment to get half price entry.
I get no one is forcing me to buy a ST but I have anyway, as I have for many many years now and it's not about the kudos as Dan makes out... I like my spot and the priory tickets for cup games or play offs etc, I also can't be arsed to have to buy tickets every few weeks. Their are benefits to having one but it's just a kick in the teeth that others who aren't committing we much up front can watch so much cheaper even if they only attend a few games.
If no one got a ST and we had a very bad season (say bottom half) the attendances would be much much worse and the revenue would be way down. Having a good number of STs sold ensures revenues despite how the season pans out.
So Jamie there are advantages to having a season ticket. Likewise there are advantages being a member of the QL scheme.Jamie wrote:Exactly Dave.
