Title: Season ticket renewal
Post by: knockers on February 19, 2025, 02:26:41 pm
This is normally straightforward but I can’t find the option to renew my seat.
Any help gratefully received.

Easiest way is to phone up, especially if you've multiple seats for family.
There's nothing on my reserved tickets yet, wether it will get added in time.

Tried doing mine today online and you have to click on the person icon in your online account for club doncaster and click on season ticket. it will show you this seasons with renew greyed out, you then have to click it on the tick box in top left hand corner of it then you can proceed to renew it but i couldnt select anything other than pay now so there wasnt any option to put over 10 months etc for some strange reason

Did mine today, on the phone, took about 5 minutes in total including waiting to get through. A couple of tips don’t ring bang on 09.00 and try not to do it when the new away tickets go on sale. They’re roughly 6 weeks to sort it so everyone should be fine.

They are usually a bolt on option that comes later. Unless anyone in car park 2 doesn't renew which creates a space the option is usually for car park 3

Do you go for the football and to support the team, or for freebies?

Pragmatic , I would guess. Also no Win money off your ST offers either

Let's face it the free shirts etc have to be paid by " someone " so I favour the lowest price(s) possible even if that involves ditching the "freebies"

The club tried to add value to season tickets with adding in other services. Covid put paid to the Purple Books but they also received quite a number of complaints, feedback etc that supporters stated they wanted the cheapest prices possible, and that’s the route they’ve followed for the last few seasons.

It seems they attract criticism no matter what they do. Today though they have probably the best pricing in the whole of English football.

The FSA have been collating away ticket pricing for the last couple of seasons and DRFC continue to be up there with the best value for money experience.

Maybe give a 10 point start on the ticket priority as a season ticket holder bonus, it won’t cost the club anything.

When I picked mine up last year they told me to retain the card for this very reason.
It makes a lot of sense.

First thing I thought when I saw the card was why is there no date and the second thing was why is there no advertising on there.

Received an e mail this morning saying that car parking at the stadium is being reviewed

We are just contacting you to give you a quick update on seasonal car parking passes for the 2025/26 season.

As you will be aware, car parking passes are not yet available for 2025/26, this is due to the club currently undertaking a review of parking utilisation both on match days and non match days.

This review will be completed by the end of May and further details will be released in early June.

Please be assured that as a current seasonal car park pass holder you will have first option on your space for the 2025/26 season.

I’ve just seen Lincoln City’s season tickets are going on sale tomorrow, I know they’re in a division higher but their prices are a lot steeper than ours ,£442 for the top price ticket. One thing that they are doing which I found interesting is that when a kick off is moved, 12.30 from 15.00 on a Saturday they are going to offer rebates, this doesn’t apply to games moving days i.e. Tuesday to Wednesday but keeping the same kick off times

Post by: Chris Black come back on February 26, 2025, 07:16:32 pm
Lots of other considerations but our stadium is 50pc bigger than their stadium. While the load factor will be higher, in absolute terms they need to charge more than we do, all things being equal.

If this is in the west stand i know who you mean!

I’ve been really happy with my seat in the West Stand since the first day the stadium opened.

Nowadays however, I’m getting really p****d off by the guy 3 rows behind me who insists on telling his mate (in a loud voice) how all the scores from the other divisions are going.

This ritual starts about 15 minutes into the game.
“Barnsley’s losing 1-0”
“Leeds are 1-0 up”
“Wednesday’s drawing 0-0” ……. Yes because neither team has scored yet FFS!

The guy next to me says “Jeff Stelling’s at it again”

I feel tempted to turn round and shout “How’s Donny getting on?!”
I don’t think he would know, ‘cos he’s been staring at his mobile since minute 15.

Then there’s the other guy on the row behind me, who is Rovers’ answer to Victor Meldrew. He gives constant negative observations to the old bloke next to him.

Some gems from yesterday:
“What do they do in training every week?”
“Why doesn’t he start with Wood?”
“We’re just clueless aren’t we?”
“We’re gonna lose this”
“He’s taking that lad from Lincoln off but he’s not bringing that lad from Man Utd on, he’s bringing that lad from Grimsby on instead. But he’s left that lad from Leeds on”.

THEY HAVE NAMES FFS!

It happens in the south stand too Pancho.
Yesterday there were two blokes yesterday who (halfway through the first half) were stood at the front talking to each other and not looking at the pitch.
The chat continued and then Rovers scored the second goal which they obviously  didn’t see.
Another one was the bald bloke to my right who was apoplectic when TSL caught a ball and didn’t “Gerritforrard” immediately even though we were 2-0 up and there were only a couple of minutes to half time.
We get most of those other things which you mentioned too.

Although it can be annoying if you have someone sat ne
ar you every home game and all that you hear is them moan about every bad pass and slagging players off every game, you have to remember they still support the same team, they still want the win. Some people just express themselves differently. Going to the football is a habit kind of. I'd bet most fans do the same thing every time they go. Pint, food and a bet. Others just moan. Some go to get out and truth be told are more bothered about socialising. The guy who shouts the score probably thinks people like what he does. All I do is try and ignore them. However if the person scores who they been slagging all game I always turn and say he not shit now is he.

You already get 25 points for having a season ticket

I’ve just checked and they have already added the priority points, maybe that is a good advantage/incentive for the last couple of away games.
