Couldn't get through today. I reckon most people haven't realised you can do it. It was buried away in a 1000 words article and never once repeated on the website or Facebook/Twitter etc so if you missed it and don't go on sites like this you might have never known you could have upgraded. Like I said before I think this was very much deliberate to try and manage demand. If they had advertised the hell out of it, it would have been absolute carnage and no doubt people would have missed out. At least this way the club can say they told you but you just missed it.

I hope you are right and they are not just printing themselves free money by making thousands of extra gold memberships available and then leaving us all to scrap it out when the tickets go on sale ...

ealingfox Posted 26 July 2016 Share Posted 26 July 2016 Did the upgrade this morning, can't believe how simple it was. Wonder why there's so many going. Tbf I don't think it will help much but given its only an extra 20 quid thought I might as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smr Posted 26 July 2016 Share Posted 26 July 2016 There's no way it can be capped at 4,000 can it? If 99 odd percent of people renewed their season ticket I just can't fathom how 4,000 Gold memberships haven't been renewed already - considering there were all the gold members from last season combined with the family fox members last season who will be Gold members now if they've renewed.... and then there seems to be a huge shed load left for upgrades from Silver members! Just doesn't quite make sense to me. Anyhow, being that my Dad and I are now Gold members... do you think there will be a mad rush for Arsenal tickets - given it's a Cat. A game and one of the biggest games of the season - surely that would still make it to Silvers therefore meaning every Gold member who wants a ticket should get one?

I thought the new rules meant every game will see silver, but it maybe limited to 500 tickets. But because of the way it is set up, not all golds are going to get tickets as that can be capped at 1500 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox 4 Life Posted 26 July 2016 Share Posted 26 July 2016 I also managed to upgrade by phone yesterday but not had any email confirmation and my account still shows as silver online. Others in a similar position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others in a similar position? Nothing to worry about, I just phoned the ticket office about this as mine was still showing as Silver, and only my Dad got an email receipt stating both memberships were Gold. TO said that I've got a Gold membership - I guess there's a lot of work to do in upgrading everyones accounts to show the new membership. This is probably a stupid question, but I'd love to take my 5 year old boy to some games this season but realise that it'd be very difficult to get him a Gold or Silver membership so may have to setlle for City Fox (which are uncapped)... if some games make it to City Fox is there any way that he'd be able to sit with us? I guess it's the same as asking - is it possible that Gold and Silver members from the same family to sit together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have this dilemma too, my son and I are gold members and now my daughter wants to come too. I think the only thing is to try and get her a city or silver fox, buy our tickets as normal, and if any make it to her level then try and swap them for 3 together with the TO. Not sure what the chances of 3 seats left together will be... Failing that there's no way we can all go as both my children are too young to sit on their own.

Monk Posted 26 July 2016 Share Posted 26 July 2016 Did my upgrade today, easy enough once I got through to the ticket office. They really need to upgrade their call centre system, feels like calling up some little company from the 1990s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m4DD0gg Posted 27 July 2016 Share Posted 27 July 2016 You can just guarantee that the day tickets go on sale for games the site will ground to a grinding halt with 4000 members hitting it.

Ive been asking that same question myself considering last season 3000 were sold and 1000 family memberships were sold. Can only put it down to a lot of disgruntled family members not making the switch to gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says on the original release it will be after the renewal period that further details will be announced. Obviously today they have added another renewal of a City Fox upgrade which is just for tomorrow. Presumably if any are left it will be announced after tomorrow for general sale.

smr Posted 27 July 2016 Share Posted 27 July 2016 So 97 percent of STHs renewed didn't they? How many Gold members and FF members from last season renewed then? About 25 percent by the look of things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigC Posted 28 July 2016 Share Posted 28 July 2016 Really want to get to some games but with the silver fox membership (£70) all that is potentially available, do you guys think, is it even worth it? 500 tickets with 1000s wanting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
