Season Ticket Offer update

[silverbantam]

As would be expected, the season ticket offer for next year has been welcomed by supporters but it is also throwing up some questions which Head of Operations David Baldwin has promised to answer.

He said: "In response to the e-mails I have received over the last few days I wanted to answer some of the questions raised.

"I have been swamped with questions so please bare with me as it will take some time to answer them all."

The start date of the offer is 10^th March 2008

The deadline for renewing your existing seat is 15^th May 2008

The deadline for the offer of £150 per season ticket is the 15^th June 2008 and thereafter adult tickets will go up to £300.

The free tickets will be on a first come basis and we will be opening up the North West Corner and the Upper Sunwin Stand .

You will have the option to move seats to be with friends and family again on a first come first served basis, subject to availability once we announce that we have achieved the 9000 adults.

25-year season ticket holders, those adults who bought at Christmas and also senior citizens will be counted towards the 9000 adults.

If you have a supporters suite membership, then your entitlement for a second free season ticket does not include a second supporters suite pass and this would have to be paid for extra at £110 if requested.

Finally the club will definitely only release the free tickets on achievement of the 9000 adults by 15^th June 2008 .

[Zonnebloem]

Is it possible to get in at half-time?

Use season ticket to watch 1st half. Go out for smokes. Use free season ticket to get in for 2nd half?

I'd hate to put ideas into smokers' heads but someone on OMB suggested this.

[silverbantam]

It's sad that some smokers can't go 2 hours without a fag !

[Garlic Breath]

Its sad that they should have to!!!:mad:

[NormanCorner]

Well said Prawnie.

[Garlic Breath]

The smoking ban will be partially revoked fear not Mr Corner.jump:
Failing that places should do as a certain club I know in Leeds does and designate a room as a "bedroom" therefore navigating around said stupid ban.jump:

[Spoonhead]

I know a few pubs that allow smoking. If you pay me I'll tell you. ;)

[panther]

The deadline for renewing your existing seat is 15^th May 2008

I can understand the reasoning behind this but, seats have always been kept until the end of June...

[Parrot]

Oh, you mean those who are old: have learning difficulties or are just plain radio rental? headtap:

Which above category suits you best Panty, or have you got all three? :eek:

I had to pay Paypal fees on that too:mad:

[Dr Wisey]

Morning Mr.Bullboy

[Superfatbantam]

£110 for the heroes :rolleyes:

Correct and free upgrade to the suites, don't get duped like a certain someone into paying on top for them.

I don't care what people say I spent £2500 on that ticket under previous administration or not. I am at least grateful that the Club offers something to recognise that commitment.

[Garlic Breath]

But its still not the deal that we signed up for is it?
You will no doubt have a contract at work stating your salary is 15 grand a year...if they turned round and stuck 100 quid a week into your bank you'd be a bit miffed.

How many 25 year ticket holders paid by credit card, claimed on the insurance cover and then continue to suck special offers out of the club? - you dirty evil bstrds lol
.....humour aside i reckon a fair few are.
Some people call it commitment, others foolish, a few say they got what they deserved.........me, I just sit on the fence on this one and watch the debate flow in and out like the fekin tide at Southport lol

I know of 3 who have done such....

That is why i don't have much sympathy TBH - i know there are some who didn't - a few on here who i know personally and they have my sympathy - but in the main - nah!!

[Garlic Breath]

I lost out big time but hey ho thats life sometimes...Iam not really bitter just say so for a wind up.
Desperate measures were called for at the time of admin and its just so that the 25 yearers got it in the gonads....san fairy Anne and all that.

No idea, but not me guvnor. nice how we just lump everyone in the same boat and tar them all with the same brush eh?

Millstone, KB? Since when? If they dropped the deal how many of the near 900 would piss off and never put another penny in? Do they want to risk it?

Its a harsh lesson to learn but there are far more that got stuffed over this scam than have benefitted themselves.

[Dr Wisey]

Mark I aint calling all 25 yearers dirty thieving sods - just asking how many did the deed and continue to cry every Feb/March - have these people who were compensated (and claim discounts from the club now) no shame?...................
To the rest, yep you were shat on but thats the law of being an unsecured creditor - been there myself for a much bigger sum (20 times) so know how it feels - I'm supposed to be getting 20p in the pound now, after 4 years waiting and it will be in two 10p payments

[Parrot]

The 25 yearers got screwed but the current regime didn't have to honour their season tickets.

Instead of moaning they should be happy JR is giving them a decent rebate each season on their tickets.

I bet in only a few years they will have saved the £2,500 on their tickets anyway ;)

[Spoonhead]

You mere mortals should be queuing up to felate us 25 year heroes. We're the lifeblood of the club don't you know.
Didn't pay for mine on a credit card. :(

[Dr Wisey]

you are one of the real victims then and my heart goes out to you ...............sort of lol

[BingleyBantam]

Likewise didn't pay for mine on a credit card. Happy with the deal of discounts, after all when we are back in the Premiership we get free tickets again !!

Nurse, my tablets please..

Aye but treating fans as unsecured creditors is hardly sporting is it old chap? The majority bought the tickets in good faith, they weren't owed money for services provided they were due the honouring of a ticket they paid for to support their club. I didn't do any work for it, I paid money for the bloody thing. I wasn't owed any money by the Club just owed the respect I and others deserved for the sign of loyalty shown at the time. I always intended to be supporting my football club for 25 years at least from the date I bought it, I wasn't merely snapping up a bargain. So no matter what people say I will always believe that whilst I continue to pay for my ticket I am being dealt a raw deal. And some still defend the master of this plan, a lying, thieving bastard of a man (and I don't mean the current co-chairman).

The 25 yearers got screwed but the current regime didn't have to honour their season tickets.

A few years? You reckon? I take advantage of the BB, if I was on the Kop in my seat that I got when I bought the ticket I would still have to pay £110 this year. By my reckoning that is a saving of £40 this year. It takes more than a few years to repay £2500, bearing in mind how few free seasons we have had. I aint doing the maths but I bet there's someone out there who could.

Any road, the new regime argument is bollox, is it or is it not still Bradford City whether it has a different trading name or what? The customers are not new ones, you don't just trade in history, this isn't a MK Dons situation where the history doesn't belong to the new regime. Get my drift?

Anyways, CIty tiol I die or go bankrupt eh! :rolleyes:

My season ticket with BB priveliges costs almost £250...that equates to 10 years.

I presume you bought yours between 1998-2000, almost 10 years ago, taking into account the s/t were dearer back in the day, i'd say you've almost had your £2,500 already with over £15 years left.

Anyways, CIty tiol I die or go bankrupt eh! :rolleyes:

Thats not the point though is it?

JR & Co. could legally tell the 25 yearers to pay full price or do one and theres fook all you could do about it....then you would have something to moan about!

Get my drift baby? :rolleyes:

[Garlic Breath]

But it dont make it right does it Parrot...only the blind and subservient dont see whats right in front of them.....where's your glasses my friend.

[Parrot]

I never said it was right did I?

I said they got screwed over but it could have been worse!

Bitching about it on here every time s/t are released aint gonna make it any better.

I'd rather pay £110 for a s/t in the BB than the £250 us mere mortals have to shell out! :(

At the end of the day, if the 25 yearers go to City for 10 years they will have just about got their money back....anything after that and they're quids in.

[Garlic Breath]

I dont go anymore so I really dont give a ratts ass tbh......lost it mate....36 fucking years service and its come to this......and no I dont go to Bulls either no matter what fat man from Cleckheaton says.
A culmination of stuff and call me what you want Iam a Cliff Richard fan and dont care who knows it.
Now if they provided limes in the BB it may be a different story.:)

I'd probably be pissed off if i'd bought one.... but at the end of the day, if used right they are still good value for money.

If a ruthless businessman had took over City he could have told the 25 yearers their tickets were worthless, then you'd have been proper fooked!:eek:

Iam Gordon Gibbs love child...does that give me better lay of the land between Park Avenue and Boltons new ground?

True. If used right they will be cheaper than a normal season ticket. That's over 25 years of course. £110 for a season ticket and in the BBar is pretty good value in my opinion even if I have already paid for it! :D I'm sure last year I had to pay an upgrade for the BBar though....SFB tells me he didn't...perhaps my memory is playing tricks on me but I'm sure I paid it! In for a penny, in for a pound though eh?! tup:

[Parrot]

Not over 25 years.

Your ticket has more or less paid for itself already by my reckoning.

Enjoy more years of paying budget s/t prices and stop MOANING ffs! ;)

[Spoonhead]

Since I bought the 25 year job (over 5 years so paying £3000 instead of £2250 or £2500) I reckon I've spent around £3500 on season tickets. How much have yours cost in that time? sherlock:

The 25 year tickets were on sale nearly 10 years ago.

In 10 years I've probably payed over £2,500.

If you carry on for another few years being a s/t holder your 25 year ticket will more than pay for itself....even if you did get finance of a loan shark! :rolleyes:

[ChuckleBantam]

I personally think Julian Rhodes has got it spot on over the last two years with his ST offers. Including the prices of games I have attended by myself alongside my £10 a game, I get for it now and by the end of the season, my 138 quid will have netted me the equivelent of a £218.00. Due to the fact a mate of mine and I are putting 75 quid each in to buy one season ticket next season and taking our freebie when the suckers take the total over 9000, that means over the two seasons, I will have had two season tickets and be a fiver in pocket. And there are still some halfwits on here that take the piss out of me buying one! There are sometimes some real advantages of having a fuckwit or two in the boardroom and this is definitley one of em! tup:

[Gary1975]

That makes JR £213 up on a man who said he would never walk inside VP again :) and yes mate you have made money so you say :rolleyes::rolleyes: still you have forked YOUR money out to buy your ST and for that Julian is thankfull jump:jump:jump:jump:jump:because he doesn't give two fucks what you do with it after you have handed your lovely dough towards his trips on the ski slopes jump:jump:jump:




Chucks you my friend will always be the man who stuck to his guns but failed badly jump:jump:jump:jump:

Spot on -- its what makes the world go around teach:

[Superfatbantam]

Parrot you choose to go in the bantams bar, a 25 yearer has the option to get free upgrade but still pays the £110 even if they don't go in the suites and that can be determined by other circumstances. Compare it to someone who hasn't paid the extra charge to go in the suites.

I take your point but I think too many people look at it and expect the 25 yearers should have just swallowed the loss - and they were hardly likely to vote against a CVA that represented the only way THEIR beloived bantams could survive. Hardly fair. Some people are probably still paying off the debt or were when they were required to pay again. The fact that there is a constant here in JR as he was on the Board at the time of the offer is what is both fair and unfair, at least he has acknowledged that a deal had to be done to recognise loyalties of the majority of those who bought one but on the flip side they have still been stung with paying agains for something they had already paid for.

Anyways I'm not moaning about having to pay my £110 this year, just trying to show the situation in a truer light than just saying the Club has 900 people that represent a financial millstone round its neck. Yes they do but perhaps the blame for that is not at their feet but at the instigator of the scheme. And still he is lauded! :rolleyes:
