Season tickets

[Sir Rebel1965]

May have missed it, but is there any news on when/if season tickets will be up for sale?

[RebelVilla]

I wonder if there will be an announcement after the fixtures come out on Tuesday. Also I assume that there will need to be some confirmation that fans will be allowed in to watch the games before any season tickets are sold. A further question that I have is whether car parking with be available at St Joseph's school.

[GlenSTFC]

A lot of clubs have/are selling season tickets and in some cases like Havant have already sold 500 which was their maximum (currently). So either these clubs know something us fans don’t or are taking a gamble on being allowed a certain percentage come the first home league game.

We do have various options on tickets and parking but until we know whether fans can be admitted, and how many, we will update when we can . Also be aware that Slough is in an area with rising cases

The news about rising cases in Slough was I think a couple of weeks ago. Are they still rising?

[Sir Rebel1965]

The whole country has rising cases.

[Irishadrian]

Slough was removed from the Public Health England watch list on Sept 4th. 

[Reading Rebel]

I think it's rising in certain areas mainly in the north west.

But the positive is that the death rate is very low mainly due to cases in the younger generation increasing.

a question i know may be a bit touchie is as last seasons season ticket holders lost out due to the season being curtailed having pre-paid for a certain number of home games ,will there be a lower price for these holders to compensate them for there loss last season?

[GlenSTFC]

I would hope 99.9% of fans would be understanding and happily donate what was owed due to the situation we find ourselves in. Sure the big boys who have the money should compensate their fans but clubs like ours need every penny so it’s never entered my thinking to ask for any type of refund even though my personal circumstances have changed.

[Irishadrian]

I agree Glen re last season If you had the money and paid it then you and the club were faultless and victims of a force majeure  This season with the facts and the possibilities known will require careful thought

[Reading Rebel]

I know peoples circumstances are different but never even considered asking for some money back.

 

[GlenSTFC]

It’ll be interesting to know if any fans have asked for any refund? I’d be surprised if there were any as I think as a group of supporters we’re very loyal and giving. With possible capacity restrictions this season it would make financial sense not to sell season tickets but on the flip side you can also it’s merits. Hopefully they’ll be some official news sometime this week.

[Irishadrian]

Some clubs once the maximum crowd is known will give priority to season tickets holders  in order to maximise season ticket sales at a time when nothing is guaranteed.

Exactly our (3 season ticket holders) position. Not the clubs fault so I can cope with a few lost games.

[Jafooly]

All season ticket holders were basically already into their "free" matches last season.

For Adults

Basic entry was £13 with Early Bird season tickets (any bought up till the first game kicked off) were only £150. So after 12 matches the season ticket had already paid for itself and we had played 17 home games before lockdown. Even full price tickets (£180) were paid off after 14 matches.

 

Without knowing the clubs plans, I am sure any long term supporter knows club directors well and will be able to find some agreement if they are tight on money right now but would like to commit to a season ticket.

[rebelade]

If you scroll through the clubs social media you will see some people have asked about refunds 

[HEAVY TRUCKER]

i would be nice  though if the club made the situation clear and not expect the fans to not ask for a refund ,i'm sure that many would not but all the same wether "free gameshad been taken or not " the only free games were pre season all home matches were paid for if were had at a cheaper rate as a bonus for putting some money into the club pre season and therefore that income was already known wether the games were attended or not, people paying at the turnstile is an unknown income and generally varied to the way we were playing in a previous game or who the opponents were .?

[rebelade]

Heavy trucker,  How can we make an offer about a refund or used against anything for this season when no one knows when fans are allowed in . Once we know where we stand on fans attending then we can look at options 

[HEAVY TRUCKER]

just tabling the idea that when the time comes and i hope it will it would be nice to have the choice and not seemingly be expected to make that donation.?
