Countesthorpe Fox 1884 Posted 15 July 2014 Share Posted 15 July 2014 Leicester City Football Club is delighted to announce initial details of the Club’s membership and ticketing initiatives for the 2014/15 Barclays Premier League season. All membership packages will be available to purchase from Wednesday 16 July from the City Fanstore at King Power Stadium or from the City Sales Centre on 0344 815 5000. Memberships With a record 23,000 Season Ticket Holders, demand for tickets on a match-by-match basis is expected to be extremely high, regardless of the opposition. To address this, the Club has radically overhauled its existing membership packages to ensure Club members have the best opportunity of securing tickets for the Premier League fixtures they want to attend. Ahead of the 2014/15 season, the Club has introduced four categories of membership which will suit the needs of all members while providing fair access to the limited number of tickets available: Gold Membership - £75 Key Benefits: • First-tier priority on Home match tickets ahead of Season Ticket Holders • Enhanced priority on Away match tickets behind Season Ticket Holders • A place on the Season Ticket Waiting List for 2015/16 • Limited Edition gold pin badge • Members-only digital content • LCFC discounts and invitations to ‘money-can’t-buy’ experiences • Only 1,500 Gold Memberships available on a first-come, first-served basis Family Fox Membership - £100 (1x Adult & 1x Under 18s) Key Benefits: • Only membership providing access to the Family Stand only • First-tier priority access to purchase seats in other areas when the Family Stand is sold out • Enhanced priority on Away match tickets behind Season Ticket Holders • Places on the Season Ticket Waiting List for 2015/16 • 2x Limited Edition Gold Fox pin badges; Junior Welcome Pack and birthday card for under 14s • Members-only digital content • LCFC discounts and invitations to ‘money-can’t-buy’ experiences • Only 500 Family Memberships available on a first-come, first-served basis Silver Membership - £40 Key Benefits: • Second-tier priority on Home match tickets ahead of Season Ticket Holders • Enhanced priority on Away match tickets below Season Ticket Holders • Limited Edition silver pin badge • Members-only digital content • LCFC discounts and invitations to ‘money-can’t-buy’ experiences • Only 2,000 Silver Memberships available on a first-come, first-served basis City Membership - £20 Key Benefits: • Third-tier priority on Home match tickets ahead of Season Ticket Holders • Enhanced priority on Away match tickets below Season Ticket Holders • Limited Edition bronze pin badge • Members-only digital content • LCFC discounts and invitations to ‘money-can’t-buy’ experiences • Only 2,500 City Memberships available on a first-come; first-served basis Memberships will initially go on sale on Wednesday 16 July to supporters who purchased a Foxes membership during the 2013/14 season but did not secure a Season Ticket. This exclusive priority window will close at 2pm on Sunday 20 July, after which point, memberships will be made available to purchase on a general sale basis. 2013/14 Foxes members can purchase a maximum of two of their chosen membership types by visiting the City Fanstore or calling the Sales Centre on 0344 815 5000 (option 1). Home Cup Scheme The Home Cup Scheme is now open for current Season Tickets Holders to join, enabling them to secure their season seat for all home cup fixtures played at King Power Stadium. The Home Cup Scheme takes the hassle out of purchasing cup tickets as: • There’s no need to call us or visit the Fanstore to buy your cup ticket, just sit back and relax • We’ll automatically charge your credit/debit card prior to going on sale • We’ll immediately activate your Season Tickets(s) for the upcoming cup-tie • You have priority on tickets for any cup semi-final or final that the Foxes reach next season as supporters who have attended all previous rounds will be given first option • You can apply for a full refund within five working days of kick-off if you can’t make the game Under some cup competition rules, it may be necessary for Season Ticket Holders in Blocks P and L to relocate to an alternative area of the stadium, should the visiting side choose to take the full allocation available to them. Should this be the case, Home Cup Scheme members who are located in these blocks will not have their payment taken and will be offered the opportunity to secure an alternative seat elsewhere in the stadium. It is free to join the Home Cup Scheme, so if you wish to sign up, simply visit the City Fanstore or call the Sales Centre on 0344 815 5000 (option 1). Away Ticket Priority Scheme Season Ticket Holders who have demonstrated a continued commitment to following the Foxes away from King Power Stadium will be invited to become a member of the new Away Priority Scheme for next season. Only an exclusive group of Season Ticket Holders who attended at least seven league fixtures away from home will be invited to join our new Away Priority Scheme which means: • Your commitment to following The Foxes on the road is recognised • You’ll secure a ticket for every Premier League away fixture during the 2014/15 season without ever having to lift a finger, with no need to call us or visit the Fanstore • We’ll automatically charge your credit/debit card prior to going on sale and immediately send your ticket(s) to you • If you can’t make the game, don’t worry. Simply contact the Club within 72 hours of the fixture and you’ll receive a refund The Away Ticket Priority Scheme is designed for those Season Ticket Holders who are able to commit to attending a minimum of 15 away Premier League fixtures next season. Members of the Scheme will be permitted to return tickets for a maximum of four fixtures if they unable to attend, although risk being removed from the Scheme if they exceed this limit. Entry to this scheme is by invitation only and those Season Ticket Holders will receive a letter or email within the coming days and will be asked to confirm their intention to join the Away Ticket Priority Scheme by Monday 21 July by completing their application form and returning it to the Fanstore. Alternatively, this can returned by post or by calling the Sales Centre on 0344 815 5000 (option 1). Memberships are currently not available online.

promised land Posted 15 July 2014 Share Posted 15 July 2014 Fingers crossed my 15 aways get me invited.Surely a considerable amount of people went to over 7 though? Yes I thought 7 was low after the run we had, I went to 7 last season, 11 season before and further back than that around 13 a season to the Sousa season. Wonder if I'll get an invite then, right on the line! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowlattsFox Posted 15 July 2014 Share Posted 15 July 2014 How many tickets can a member buy? One per member I'd imagine. Going to try get 2 city memberships on Monday. Will probably still not get tickets but worth a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Guvnor Posted 15 July 2014 Share Posted 15 July 2014 So Gold membership for me two adults and two kids is £300 upfront for the privilege of access to home tickets and pot luck for away tickets ouch, but the limited edition gold pin badge has sealed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's right myself. The clubs making money from nothing in theory. But with 6500 memberships available, general sale could be few and far between.

It's not just our club that does this, Man City did it with their season ticket holders a few years ago, there is a season ticket price then a platinum one IIRC which is £50 more, same seat etc but you get double points on home and away tickets. Some fans weren't too pleased, but ones who £50 was nothing too were as they climbed the priority ladder quicker. It's still going as well.

Dan LCFC Posted 15 July 2014 Share Posted 15 July 2014 Commit to 15 away games? They've got to be joking surely. I might do around that number but there's no guarantees, especially considering I'm not going to Chelsea or Stoke to start off with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, you'd sell it on at face value 20 times over on here. Keeps you in the top priority and someone lower down gets to the game. I can see that happening a lot next season.

Jace Posted 15 July 2014 Share Posted 15 July 2014 Looks like a couple of bronze memberships for me and hope I get a few half decent tickets next season, I really hope we expand after the World Cup next summer if we stay up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson_6 Posted 15 July 2014 Share Posted 15 July 2014 So gutted! i dont even get paid untill the end of the month i wont even be able to get a gold membership at this rate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyn88 Posted 15 July 2014 Share Posted 15 July 2014 First of all, as already mentioned, unlike previous seasons, these memberships are purely a fee to access match tickets, a fee to buy another product. As much of a con as this appears, it's indeed very smart and people (myself included) will pay for it as it gives us a chance and if we don't someone else will. 7,000 memberships are up for sale in total, with 23k ST holders and roughly 4k away including segregation there will probably be 5,200 match tickets for each game assuming Max away following. Therefore the cheapest membership package technically wouldn't guarantee a ticket. However, I simply won't pay 40 or 75 (that is pretty scandalous) without some more tangible benefits. At the end of the day, I'll pay the twenty quid if those are still available on Monday as I think it will give me a good chance of a ticket for most if not all games. If it turns out to be a waste, I can live with it being 20 quid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see that happening a lot next season. Agree mate. Reckon I'll be offering my tickets out 2/3 times over the course of the season. Of course I won't be asking for any more than face.

Teeno Posted 15 July 2014 Share Posted 15 July 2014 Couple of question if you signed up to the away tickets scheme, how would you ensure you had seats with friends/family? Another question is could you buy a child membership without an adults? The reason being is I have a season ticket but 3/4 times a season I will transfer my seat from L1 to the family stand and take my 3 nephews. Concerned I'm going to struggle to do that this season.

Monk Posted 15 July 2014 Share Posted 15 July 2014 I'll get a gold if there's any left by Sunday. Seems a lot but they have to price it to match demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester Lass Posted 16 July 2014 Share Posted 16 July 2014 Couple of question if you signed up to the away tickets scheme, how would you ensure you had seats with friends/family? You just have to submit all the client reference details onto the same form. Bit annoying as payment will be all taken from one card. I'd suggest that if you don't want payment taken all from one card you staple all your forms from your mates together and hand them in as one, that's how the old pre-order system used to work.
