Ive seen plenty moaning on here and fan pages that the Membership scheme is a rip off.

 

You know what you sign up to, to TRY to get a ticket its as simple that.

I think most people accept that

 

the most complaints I’ve seen about the membership is how much it costs

It is a rip off but as ST holder my interest in it is academic so I'll not bother as it's up to members to make an issue of it.

Do they?

 

Ive seen plenty moaning about it like i said, even for the Champions League games they assumed members should automatically get a cut in which they didn't.

Yeah from what I’ve seen people knew that If they wanted a chance at a ticket they would need a membership but were annoyed that our membership prices were in some cases twice as much as other clubs with a less amount of chance for a ticket

 

As for champions league tickets Nobody really fared well in that including STH

The amount of money the club now makes surely £30 would be more reasonable. But then people, like myself, are willing to pay even though it is stupidly priced. Gotta help towards the cost of new tyres on Vardys roller I guess.

Yeah from what I’ve seen around £30 seems to be the going rate at other clubs

Well if you search threads on here you'll see me reply with similar to what I have in here. I suppose people need to read the T&Cs next time around

[DB11]

After this years crap I won’t get a membership next year. The ballot scheme is too confusing, you need to know if you’re available for a game way in advance and you can’t get tickets together with your mates like say when we all had silver memberships - now you all have to be selected in the ballot otherwise no way do you get 3-4 seats together

Do you think that paying for a chance of a ticket is a fair deal out of interest?

If you want tickets then yes. Funny how everyone wants tickets now we'r back in the big time?

The membership scheme has worked out well for me as I knew I could make every home game again this season.

 

Because I'm in a bracket on it i have known I've being able to get a ticket on a set day rather than phoning up or using the old horrible website that wasn' user friendly.

 

The only thing I would change is the cost of it as most memberships are half the price unless you get a match ticket included.

I am an st holder. I was also a gold member so that i could have a priority to buy an extra ticket when i wanted to. Yet now all i get is a chance in a sweep.  The old gold scheme was fine.... the the silver scheme was a rip off coz there were no tickets left.  Why do we need the sweep?.... just set a date for members to buy before general sale

To be honest the only way id change it is if it became like our England Fans membership. 

 

£75 for the 18 months qualifying campaign then every home ticket you get deducted £5 from match ticket price.

Well seeing that most of our home games don't sell out something's going wrong somewhere.

Not officially, there are almost always singles dotted around.

 

That's beside the point to be honest, I remember a few months ago someone on here saw a family of 4 go into the ticket office to try and get some tickets for the first time, the club tried to sell them 4 memberships for £240 or whatever it would have been so they just turned around and walked out iirc. That's not helping us grow as a club and I hope they change it especially if we expand the ground.

See my tweet above about England Fans membership. Only possible way to solve the issue..

On the website Leicester has advertised it as sold out.

Well that's shot up, didn't it used to be £50 with a fiver off every ticket?

 

Besides which our office can't keep the priory points right, you have to look back about twice a season to see they're all on, how will they cope with deducting money from tickets for members on a daily basis.

 

Not a member but I always thought the previous schemes were better, ie back in the championship days, the ones now where you stump up so much to join the queue at a level are just money making for the club, if that's how it still is.

 

Money making like the STH discount removal, but that has saved me money as I haven't bought anything from the shop this year and won't in the future.

I really don't think the club should be so greedy as to get people to pay to get on the membership scheme. It's just pure money grabbing.  

 

Keep it as it is and scrap the fee, that way people aren't blocked by a paywall to get onto the ladder.

Genuine question. How?

If you had gold you started with a minimum 5 more points than my 2 silver unless you never used your gold at all last season.

 

I've managed to get tickets for every games this season via the points system and we started below the minimum window for the 1st few games ok we got lucky via the ballot for the 1st game but since then we have had no issues at all. Even on the lowest level there are always plenty of tickets to choose from.

Its not being Greedy as they'll make  the same money from the ticket price? 

 

If you want tickets do it that way then you'll get the money back?
