Will you pay £25 for a ST card?

[KrefelderFox666]

Just did mine

[StanSP]

Reluctantly did mine. 

[broughtonblue]

Just gave £50 to charity for mine and wife's card, pretty sure every other charity donation I've done in the past was voluntary, and not with strings attached 😡

[hackneyfox]

So how many have refused to renew due to the £25 and not wanting to go digital?

[tomtom]

I paid the £25,  wasn't given an option of the charity on the phone 

 

Luckily my sons card is free

[Footballwipe]

Another reluctant purchaser. Been battling with the principle of it for weeks but I want a physical card, it's as simple as that tbh.

Fill in the poll if you haven't already done so - Thanks.

Same here.

My 2 season ticket cards came today (one for me and one for my lad) - In an economic climate which challenges both supporters and the Football Club £50 you're having a laugh! 

[BrummieFOX]

Villa have just done this too. Digital as standard or £20 for a physical card. 

[phoneticerror]

Mine has arrived today. Feels flimsier than last years and that was free. Tight shits.

Even more infuriating is they'll probably end up using us as justification for the calls.

Mine arrived today, lovely letter from Susie. It tells us to consider going digital as they are "working towards full digital implementation".

 

Interestingly, but not surprisingly there is NO reference to the charity donation. It's almost like they didn't mean it to end like this and don't have a plan of action for their back tracking yet...

 

Still intrigued as to what that £25 was made up and how that figure was generated, where it's going etc etc etc

I highly doubt it's made up of anything, it's just a random amount designed to make you say "that's expensive, I think I'll go digital instead'.

Just got mine. That really irritated me. Tone deaf. 

 

[Stuntman_Mike]

Yeah mine has just come, almost identical to the card already being used and with the exact same details on the back. Piss take really. As for the letter  I feel for those that can't see through the bullshit.

[Fox forever]

The customer of the club has got it  today

They've already said it's basically just a stick to make peope take up the digital cards. They've said they are going that way, nothing will stop them going that way. So I'm afraid people need to get used to the idea that the option of a physical card is going to end soon.

Not necessarily the club enforcing it either. 

 

Big six pushing on the PL massively on this because of the touting they suffer - hence this https://sports.yahoo.com/report-arsenal-ban-20-000-143000668.html 

 

Still think there's another way personally and the club can be canny

If I didn’t support the club I would hope we get relegated to League One just to see them bend over backwards to bring the cards back and try and fill the stadium. Tossers.

My partner’s dad has a season ticket at Arsenal. He travels an awful lot for business and nearly lost his season ticket this season. I hate the direction of travel. 

[blue army 1988]

I've paid for the card for 2 reasons.

The first is that I am a single parent with two children under 5. If I can't go then I have a few friends who will happily give me some money for my ticket, as I can only sell it back to the club a set amount of times.

Secondly, I can not rely on my mobile phone. It is very old and I have to charge it twice to three times a day and sometimes I cant bring up certain apps when I want too. I can't afford another at the moment.

You guys are really gonna lose it when the EPL finds out about PSLs

Such a scheme has already existed in the UK. It’s effectively what Club Wembley is

You're right.    But what stinks is their utter contempt for the fans.    "We know that the majority of you paying customers don't want it.   But we do.   So if you don't like it,  f u c k  off"
