Will you pay £25 for a ST card?

[Bob666]

Going mobile for mine / paying £25 for son's (18+) ticket (as easier to use with other siblings).  No mention of £25 going to Vichai charity on payment page (club missed a trick on gift aid ) - hopefully the fan groups don't forget to remind the club about "loyalty tax" when the club bang on about how wonderful the Blue Army is blah blah blah next season (+ cost of running a trophy bus for loyal Thai fans  )

Change of staff. Head of stadium safety, head of operations and head of ticket sales.

 

You can pretty much pin point since the FA cup bus lie and this lot joining the change on stance to being anti supporter.

I've never got to the bottom of the collection of tickets for European away games, was this a UEFA stipulation or was that fabricated aswell?

 

In fairness, I think i've heard of other clubs doing it but I'm not sure all clubs do. That was prior to the FA Cup is all i'm thinking.

How do I go about picking physical ST, can't find the option for it.

 

They won't get a penny elsewhere from me, arseholes.

It is advised but not a must. The club said it was compulsory, a bit of digging finds this not to be the case.

Don't forget to vote here, it could prove useful in future contact with the club.

The Fans Groups are still working together in relation to the £25 charge

Cheers.

 

Renewed this morning, still fuming it's £25.

[Unabomber]

I’m going to pay it as I like having a card. 

[hackneyfox]

How many have refused to renew because of the £25?

 

Just seen the poll, so currently 2% haven’t renewed, unfortunately it doesn’t ask if the decision to not renew is due to the £25.

Just paid, reluctantly. I’m sure of the press release responding to the fan feedback they said we could choose which of the Foundation’s chosen charity the money would go to but no option was available when I went through the process 

[davieG]

!71 votes so far surely we have more than 171 ST holders on here.

 

Please Vote.

Yeah shame about that but I had to simplify my original poll as it was too complicated and didn't work on here.

But with only 3 not renewing it doesn't seem a significant number.

[ClaphamFox]

According to the other poll, almost 75% of renewing season ticket holders (including concessions) who had a physical card last season will be sticking with one next season. If that is replicated across the fanbase, this £25 policy must either be considered a colossal failure (if the intention was to put people off physical cards) or a major success (if the motive was revenue generation).

They don't make it obvious, do they? Glad you found it in the end...

[An Away Move]

It would be an excellent show of solidarity if all those with mobile tickets opted for card instead. It would mess with the clubs ‘optics’ when making next year’s decision.

Thanks for the instructions, just one thing that is missing you need to make sure you are in the ticket section and not just the main menu on the home page. 

 

Probably obvious i guess but took me a minute or two to realise. 

[Tommy G]

Whens the deadline for the physical card? I've renewed but want to purchase the physical card.

No ticket collection in Moscow. Ironically, it was as simple as a pdf sent to our phones!

[Channies6thswan]

very reluctantly just bought 4 (well paid for 3 as my son is under 18). 
We have decided to no longer buy a beer at half time in protest. 
 

[NeverAnEasyPlace]

Not paying the card tax.

I still hope the club will see sense over this.

[Vlad the Fox]

Just bought mine, only cost £25 as my lad is now free.

[worth_the_wait]

I think someone said earlier, how they pay for a season ticket, but don't want the club to have any more of their money.  And they make sure they never buy anything else, ever.   That's understandable.  

 

Yeah I know people might say the Club need to make as much money as they can, buy better players, etc etc blah blah blah.   But tbh income from TV and gate receipts dwarfs a few extra £'s I throw at them.

 

Some years ago we were planning a do (big Birthday, Anniversary, whatever) and we looked at the Club hospitality.   But in the end, we thought "sod it, those greedy b'stards don't need our money" and so we gave our money to some other (much poorer) local Leicestershire institution that did a great meal, drinks, entertainment.    We had a great time and felt like they really appreciated our custom.

 

(ah "customer service", that thing LCFC seem to have totally forgotten)
