Quote from: silent majority on June 12, 2021, 01:40:05 pmTo try and clarifyThe discount is based on what you paid last season and is intended to give you at least 50% of what you paid back in savings over 5 years.So for example if you paid £329 you're purchase was over £300 so you will get a £40 discount per year for the next 5 years.Value £200We've then tried to add value to that with The Experience Club (value £120)and of course there was ifollow access (value £230)So based on the discounts offered £200 + £120 (The Experience Club) + £230 (iFollow access) that's a potential value of discounts and other products of £550 v a season ticket that cost £329.The Experience Club (value £120).I certainly wouldn't dream of paying for this at all. I don't live in Doncaster, but still travel for every game. However, I wouldn't have the time, nor would want to spend more on travel costs to attend these events. So, for me, this isn't worth £120. So, the 'value' of this should not be taken into account in the 'savings'.I'm sure I'm not the only exile who is thinking this.

I am sixty plus how can i be charged £219 when i cant work when 18 to 24 year olds pay only £99 when they are earning a good wage something wrong here ?
You are lucky [in a sense] that Rovers are one of only a small number of Clubs who generously start Concessions at 60 and not 65 Otherwise 60 plussers would have to wait another 5 Seasons paying a lot more than that maybe 6 if their birthday drops "wrong" - so I was grateful and still am for 5 years more savings than [say Barnsley] fans

They're trying to grow the next generation too, you don't do that by pricing them out.

Where as 18-to 24s only pay £99 that can’t be fare

How many season tickets have sold under this new offer . There are many on here that are either confused of what benefits are and how to apply them or simply just want to buy a ticket having used their refund and those who donated it back to the club . If you are confused then just to keep it simple …what happens if lockdown isn’t lifted !!

It was made very clear by the club that anyone wanting a refund would get it.Suggesting that they are dragging their feet on this is unproven, unless evidence can be provided to the contrary.

Anyone know when season cards are available for collection?
Quote from: oliver on July 18, 2021, 07:35:04 pmAnyone know when season cards are available for collection?Probably waiting until as late as they can incase the worse happens.
Over the last few years I have been an early bird ST purchaser but with things as they are right now I haven’t bought one yet for the coming season.
