Straight from the club's FB post.
DNA | Young Rovers fans can get season tickets for just £30 as part of a new pricing structure which puts fans at the heart of the club.
As we introduce our new-look season membership we want to build on existing community links and offer supporters the most affordable ways to watch Rovers, while enhancing our connection with our loyal fans.
As well as providing season memberships for people aged 17 and under for just £30, we have created tiered levels so fans from 18-21 can purchase DNA Silver Membership for £139 and 22-24 from £199*.
DNA Silver Plus Membership is available as a bolt on to the DNA Silver Membership, this will be £150 and include, car parking, a replica shirt, a programme for all home league fixtures, half time draw tickets, a big screen message (one per season), discount on Club Doncaster events and a DNA card.
Adult memberships start from £299 and seniors memberships begin from £219, which mean ticket prices for the 2017/18 season have been frozen for another year.
The move to a new membership structure is the next stage in the vision for Club Doncaster and Doncaster Rovers, building on existing community links as a club proud of its family values.
For our loyal support base the club is offering all current season ticket holders the opportunity to receive a five per cent discount on their 2017/18 membership when purchasing on the first week of sale.
Our new memberships will be available from our Box Office from Monday March 27. #DRFCDNA

I don't think so, if you look past the name change to "membership" it's pretty straight forward. The image on the main site does a better job of explaining it but it's a bit small to read properly.
Put simply there are still 3 categories of seat (A B and C), and 5 age groups. The rest of it are just extras.

There's no need for all these added bolt ons. Just have a memberships and season tickets at a reasonable price. That is all anyone is really interested in.

Except for those people who are interested in a parking spot, or legends club membership, etc etc.

Yep, hundreds are really going to be interested in that aren't they?!
-
There is a surprise comment Mr Frost.Can anybody do anything right at the club in your opinion.
-
I don't recall saying hundreds would be interested, but the club are doing their best to maximise revenue streams. They've had parking spaces available for years, now they're just bundling more stuff in with it at a higher price, I don't see the issue.

I wasn't the one complaining about an extremely basic system being "to complicated". Hilarious.

Basic would be season tickets for sale at XXX price.

Looks like my package has gone up £50 then, £100 last year for car park, £150 this year
-
I'm happy paying 299 again.
-
It seems clear to me that you will never be happy with anything the club do Frost. This thread has already descended into the usual farce. From where I sit it is a pretty simply pricing structure that the club have devised to consider all sections of our fanbase. Sounds good to me, and 30 quid for junior STs is a brilliant offer.

It's amazing isn't it? The person who moans that the club don't do marketing then complains when they do.

You get a free programme which is worth £69 over the season. Plus a replica shirt at circa £40. Strikes me as quite a good thing.
-
The new price categories for 22-24 is a great move.
Well done DRFC, excellent pricing strategy all round.
-
The good news is Mr Frost we have the reasonable prices and, you can have more if you want it.

Serious question - what about it is unclear to you?
From where I'm sitting, the structure is clearly laid out in terms of price differentials, age range and what comes under which section in terms of added perks. I'm struggling to see what is so confusing about it.
-
Thats it then high IQ = shallow pockets
-
Well I'm quite happy with it. Brilliant work on the young tickets, crazy cheep. I assume this card ties in with replacing season ticket books that I had heard mentioned?

It isn't clear who or how you qualify for these bolt ons? The image on the official site is far too small for anyone to view properly. Then there's the DNA card, that isn't clear either.

Don't buy a programme, can't get a shirt to fit me, so not so good for me

That's the one that caught my eye. I dare say we lose quite a few fans from 18-24 so anything that helps keep them on board is a positive.

If one person on this board buys a season ticket as a result of me spending 5 minutes in Word making a table then it was worth my time, lol
-
I'm made up. Paid £325 for a season ticket in league 2 this season next season I'll be paying £219.
You reds xxx
-
Mr Frost what do you think we should be charging?
-
Any idea if they offer student discount?
-
It is needlessly complicated the way they've wrote that post out when the spreadsheet type layout that's been posted on here is far simpler and straight to the point.
-
Mr Frost what do you think we should be charging?
Less.
Interesting there's no mention of a direct debit option this season.
-
Any idea if they offer student discount?
I haven't seen anything specifically mentioning students, looks like it's just a general age bracket situation.
-
Mr Frost what do you think we should be charging?
Less.
Interesting there's no mention of a direct debit option this season.
Everyone uually wants to pay less for something of course, but could you put a figure on what you think would be appropriate?
-
Just realised I haven't actually given my opinion on all this while posting the details. I'm really happy they've frozen the prices in general. I'll be renewing next week so will get 5% off, and me and my dad both scored our penalties last year and picked up £50 in club doncaster vouchers, bringing mine down to £235...or just over a tenner a game. Result!
-
Just done a auick calculation on my package, cat a season ticket plus the dna thing for £150 comes out at just over £22 a game for match ticket, car parking, programme, half time draw ticket and a free shirt that won't fit, plus DNA card entitling you to discounts.
On reflection thats not such a poor deal for me
-
Solution - get your free shirt in my size and sell me it for £20 haha
-
£60 for me to buy 2 of my nephews season tickets...what a bloody bargain. Well done Rovers.... I'll gladly be able to give them a very early Christmas present again this year!
-

If you used your high IQ more effectively you wouldn't be so skint.

Skint? Hahaha OK then
-
While I think the prices are a fair price, I don't think it will bring any extra fans in,the price for youngsters thou is a bargain so well done to the club for that
-

Stole my thunder was going to suggest that.
It's a good idea really, I would go for it if I lived further away but I walk to home games now.
If they had done a gym add on option I would have been on that. A few more other bundles would've been a cool idea, the club Doncaster membership is just not enough for what I would want.
Think we'll pick up more sth from this though. The important thing is those who don't have one that I know are enthused by it and some will now be getting one.
-

Agreed I would've liked a very cheap adult price however that market isn't there now the focus on youngsters is a good one probably the best fit.

How can you be unhappy about high prices then?
-
Mine will be bought and paid for on Monday
-
No mention of STH away game ticket priority format or is there more detail to come? If the sale is to start on 27th they need to get some clarification built in Asap considering what has gone on regard Hartlepool ticketing!!!!!
-

How complicated it is depends on your IQ I suppose.
I can assure you, i'll have a higher IQ than you sunshine.
I bet he can spell the word "too", frosty!
-
What this also means is a strengthening of revenue streams for the club. The turnover through Club Doncaster will increase and that's good news for us all as it puts us in a stronger trading position when it comes to the playing budget. It's simple when you know who you are, where you prefer to sit/stand and what extras you can take advantage of.

It isn't about affordability, it's whether it is suitably priced to entice more people to purchase, in my opinion it isn't.
We have a stadium which is a third full at best, with 10000 empty seats most weeks. Yes promotion will bring a few back, but not many.
I'd like the club to think outside of the box and develop a strategy to fill some of those empty seats. We are after all experiencing the lowest support we've had for almost 14 years.
It isn't that long ago we had 8000 season ticket holders. I wonder if the club are proactively contacting those who have lapsed to gauge their interest?
-

No mention if your current seat is saved for any length of time either. You usually get a couple of months to secure the same seat.
-
I like the look of this.
Yes it could be explained slightly better, and we'd love to be able to give season tickets away virtually like Bradford, but all in all a step in the right direction.
Might consider getting a season ticket for the first time in a few years even though I don't make all the home games.
-
At Blackpool they did a 2 year season ticket for 400 maybe something like that would work, maybe not as well lol
-
All seems pretty straightforward.
You can buy your Rovers experience like you buy a TV/Broadband package. Most people have no problem doing that.
-

Needs addressing asap for me as I'm an ex season ticket holder on the fence about getting one again, but the away game situation will be a big factor
-
The ST priority for away games still remains in place as it comes with your DNA Silver membership.
The Hartlepool issue is an exception so we don't need to re-write the priorities for away games.
As for much lower ticket prices, this would be a higher risk strategy which has been explored however, where we are at the moment, I don't believe we'd get sufficient additional numbers to make up the revenue from what we're likely to get. You cannot count food and drink as additional revenue to make up for the shortfall as Rovers only get a fraction of that revenue.
-
Looking at that they are doing away with the Cat C in the west stand that at present consists of the last block before the west and south stands join.
This is opposite the family section.
-
Makes commercial sense for the club because it means that people who want parking, programmes, shirts etc can commit up front, therefore the club can budget more accurately.
For the fans it means you get more choice with regard to the level to which you support financially, which seems like a good thing. Sometimes too much choice can be a bad thing but I think here the club have struck a good balance. And for some people it'll work out much more cost effective, e.g. People in their early 20s who will have paid £300+ for the past few years will now pay £200 in the South Stand. And let's face it the younger fans are the ones we need on board most.

There was no Cat C in the west stand this year.
-
Good move
Never parked at the stadium,or bought a programe but
Paying a lump sum for everything included seems good value.
What benefits is a dna card ?and what's the time frame for these offers?
I hope it's not for a short period of time?
Can I buy the silver membership at a later date?

I have sat in G538 for years and that has always been cat C.
That block being the only one. My seat is almost in line with the goal line.
-
I think they have done a wonderful job. It's not confusing at all to anyone with half a brain cell. By the way if you can't read the writing as with all web pages if you hold down the shift key (the one with the upward facing arrow on) and turn your scroll wheel at the same time every thing gets magnified. The pricing is great and bolt ons for those that want them are reasonable. It's a big well done from me I will be buying mine next week along with my daughters and 2 grand kids.

Idler, that stadium map is exactly the same as last years. Therefore no change.
-
Great PRICING Rovers .. and the accent is clearly put on attracting the younger generations.
-
I can understand Mr Frosts concerns.
I think this is a good deal, but to me the only customers this will reach out to are regulars and existing/past season ticket holders.
I don't see this enticing newbies. Hopefully they are looking at ways of filling the empty seats too.
Nothing I'd love more than a busy Keepmoat
Incredible kids prices though, hopefully that gets parents to buy too.
-
When do match day prices get announced? Membership for a tenner gets you £3 off a game but £3 off what?

The spread sheet is much easier to follow. The statement by the club is confusing.
It's a good deal for those who want car parking etc and for youngsters. It should see us maintain the season ticket holders we have
-

Match day tickets
-
Surely any newbies aren't going to be buying season tickets straight off the bat. This is clearly designed to reward the core fan base and entice those who pick and choose their games. It could be a little clearer but that shouldn't detract from what is a great offer.

Doesn't entice me when I see fans paying £100 less for the same product just because they are 15 years younger. I'll continue to just come as and when. Club loses out. I would have got a season ticket for £199 but they won't get that much out of me on a non-season ticket basis.
-
Regardless of the pricing structure, a ST at £324 is just over 16 games at £20 a match. so almost 7 games free..
-
Another good business move from the board - great pricing structure
People keep talking about pricing to attract newbies - we have had games for a £5 and people still don't turn up. Most Doncaster folk are just not interested - accept it and move on.
Look after what you have already got, and slowly build from there. It takes time to build a club regularly attracting over 10,000, looking after the kids and now those in the early 20's makes great sense to me. We don't want fans who will only pay bottom dollar and turn up when we are winning. We want proper fans that will turn out in the cold and wet, knowing we are going to get beat at home again - but who cares. COME ON YOU REDS :scarf:
-
So, do I get a 5% discount if I pay for my st next week or do I have to have some sort of membership as well?
I have no intention of paying 150 quid for car parking and a shirt. I'm quite capable of walking from where I park rather than queuing up to get out of the car park after the game, and I'm happy with the shirt I've got, and the programme is a waste of money.
Why would I want to pay £10 for a membership to get £3 a game off if I have a st??
Great to see prices haven't gone up and the club doing something for the younger element. The rest of it, I just don't get at all
-
the £10 membership is for non-st holders :facepalm:
A full adult ticket is then £17 per game..
A few years ago in the Championship that same ticket was £27, no discount..
-
Yes, renewals get 5% off in the first week.
-
When do match day prices get announced? Membership for a tenner gets you £3 off a game but £3 off what?
Match day tickets
Yes. Well done. So how much off?

But will tickets on the day still be the same. Can't see south stand only being £20 with potential of some 3-4K away followings. We have to charge the same in the north stand

Can't see many away teams bringing 3-4000. Rotherham, Scunthorpe if they don't go up via the playoffs. That's about it I think

Why not?
If ST prices are the same, why not match day prices?
Either way, as soon as a non-ST holding member goes to 4 games then you start saving..
-
It seems clear to me that you will never be happy with anything the club do Frost. This thread has already descended into the usual farce. From where I sit it is a pretty simply pricing structure that the club have devised to consider all sections of our fanbase. Sounds good to me, and 30 quid for junior STs is a brilliant offer.
It isn't clear at all.
I don't care either way, I have no intention of buying one.
So why the f#ck are you even on here whining like a bitch!!!!

I didn't renew this season knockers so have bought my tickets as and when.
I'm sure that I was always classed as category C prior to not renewing or the previous season but getting my Alliance discount reduced it anyway.
-
Whilst it won't entice complete newbies it may entice others back whose season tickets/memberships have lapsed (myself included).
I think the core thing here is the conversion of a fan from Under 16 to full paying adult is ridiculously low, speaking from experience when I was 15 I went with about 20 others my age and now none of us have a season ticket. Even when they introduced the 17-21 ticket the jump to adult was far too big a step for many. The fact that there is now an under 24 Season Ticket should bridge that gap. I'm just furious I turned 25 2 weeks ago!!
I believe there will be more to come on the DNA Card in the coming weeks, there have been some interesting noises coming out about it and rumour has it will work in the same way the purple vouchers does, but rather than carry a book around with you it's a nice credit card size to be more wallet/pocket friendly.
The club's marketing is often attacked for being second rate, yet this strategy and structure is progressive and a huge step in the right direction. A big thumbs up to the board, Gavin, Scully and Mark Hughesman!
-
Surely any newbies aren't going to be buying season tickets straight off the bat. This is clearly designed to reward the core fan base and entice those who pick and choose their games. It could be a little clearer but that shouldn't detract from what is a great offer.
Doesn't entice me when I see fans paying £100 less for the same product just because they are 15 years younger. I'll continue to just come as and when. Club loses out. I would have got a season ticket for £199 but they won't get that much out of me on a non-season ticket basis.
How do you feel about older people who will get their tickets for £219 (less 5% if paid next week).
-
If it's a success then it might encourage even more forward thinking.
I might even buy a season ticket again next season even though I will probably miss a fair few games.
-
personally I won't be renewing this season, I have so far this season missed 9 games all through work, won't be there Sunday for other reasons but this has been pretty average over the last few years, Ive renewed through loyalty whatever you want to call it but its just not worth it anymore.
I'll see what the matchday prices are and consider membership, but if they still did the 10 game ticket thing I'd definitely buy one

Yeah and them 😀
-
I said earlier in the thread that prices were fair but would not encourage new fans,bit of a re think really and looking at the prices for under 25s I think it is, are very impressive and there the fans they should be trying to get, so for me it's a well done
-
It seems clear to me that you will never be happy with anything the club do Frost. This thread has already descended into the usual farce. From where I sit it is a pretty simply pricing structure that the club have devised to consider all sections of our fanbase. Sounds good to me, and 30 quid for junior STs is a brilliant offer.
It isn't clear at all.
I don't care either way, I have no intention of buying one.
So why the f#ck are you even on here whining like a bitch!!!!
Best comment of the thread.

Great prices and some good "packages", if that's your thing. Well done DRFC. (Personally I don't like rankings based on how much you have spent, but that's miner thing really).

Well after a quick look on social media the reaction is very mixed.

For someone with a high IQ you do seem to struggle with some quite basic things.
I'm suggesting that for any topic you can think of, social media will always contrive to produce a mixed reaction. So by suggesting the reaction to the DNA thing is mixed, you have in effect added nothing of any worth to the discussion.

Just pointing out for those who w**k off at everything the club do and believe everything should be greeted with positivity and bowing at their feet, not everyone shares that viewpoint.

Re-the bringing in new fans thing. This kind of does, as we're not going to get 40 year old Man Utd "fans" choosing to support us, it's about getting those that age who are Rovers fans to go regularly or get season tickets then make sure the younger generation majority are our fans not another clubs and with the steadier incline we shouldn't lose as many fans as they get older.

Well it's probably assumed someone that age is only just starting out in employment at a low wage, where as someone 15 years older is probably expected to earn a bit more.

Not sure how many 20 plus year old get into theme parks for reduced prices.

Not at all. Kids below a certain height can't go on all the rides. A 23 year old gets exactly the same product as a 35 year old for £100 less. My disposable income was higher as a 23 year old than it is now.
I understand why the club has done it but just pointing out how you can't please everyone.
-
As a senior STH I am well pleased. I will be there first day to renew for South Stand even getting a 5% discount - great value for a season of home games in League 1. Pleased they have have structured a sensible package for our younger fans. As previous members have said you can't please everyone.

Mach2, you will be very unpopular with someone for being a wrinkly (like me) and getting cheaper tickets than standard adult rate. :coat:

Back to subject...
£30 is a bargain, we done Rovers! All the way up to 17 when kids are going with their mates from school
-

I don't think so actually.
Adult tickets from £299 so £100 less than that refers to 22-24 year olds.
5minstogo will be REALLY pissed off that 20 year olds get in for £160 less than him.
-
I will probably get my lad one just to get him on the system as a season ticket holder, he's only 3 so unlikely he will go to many games at all.This season he has the free kid's membership that means he can get in for £2 the odd times he goes. My 5% off will pay for half his ticket anyway.
At the moment he likes the idea of going to the Rovers a lot more fun than actually going to the Rovers! He will talk about it all week then if you actually take him he wants to go after 10 minutes.

It seems clear to me that you will never be happy with anything the club do Frost. This thread has already descended into the usual farce. From where I sit it is a pretty simply pricing structure that the club have devised to consider all sections of our fanbase. Sounds good to me, and 30 quid for junior STs is a brilliant offer.
It isn't clear at all.
I don't care either way, I have no intention of buying one.
So why the f#ck are you even on here whining like a bitch!!!!
Best comment of the thread.
its redic, darren, gavin and all the board seem to be going out of their way to bring a feel good factor back to the club, and theres always one who isnt happy!!!

2 points, firstly, havnt prices been frozen or newer lower priced categories introduced. i welcome the 5% reduction if i renew next week. Whats not to like!
2ndly, Why are you still here?, you have made your point.
-
Direct debit scheme still in place
-
Can you imagine the wrath of Frost when the club eventually have the temerity to increase prices.
Prices have been frozen again - positive.
Certain prices have been decreased - positive
Further reaching out to the younger fan - positive
Added elements to "bolt on" - positive if it suits you
Why are people who see these positives condemned by Frost as "w**king off" at everything the club does.
By way I'm not hiding behind a keyboard and am willing to meet and discuss on a matchday.
-
Having seen a few reactions on social media, the 'mixed' reaction seems to come from folk who have not made any attempt to understand the transition from traditional season tickets to memberships. Most are positive about the price being frozen and the kids and young adult prices.
I have just been to the ticket office to get an extra discounted ticket for Sunday with my unused stub, and whilst there I asked a few questions.
1. Can I renew now? No, ticket sales will start from Monday.
2. When purchasing your season ticket you will automatically qualify for a DNA card.
3. DNA cards will be issued with your season ticket book
4. DNA card. There will be a website launched (July) dedicated to the features and benefits of the card, listing all the participants where you can gain discounts on purchases.
5. Direct debit is available however the 5% discount applies when you buy in the first week and pay in full.
6. If you are interested in retaining or purchasing extras like gym memberships, Dons etc., but are not keen on other add ons such as car park, shirts etc, speak to the ticket office and they will try to help you.
As said, what's not to like. As far as I can see there's nothing to lose and quite a bit to gain for some and, being rewarded with discounts with the card has got to be welcomed.

Yes got my e-mail today too. Filo, that's Silver plus which you can purchase the add ons for £150.
-
No email for me......yet.
-
Nor me but my lad has

Go the email as well today the add on for parking is good value if you always got a program and bought a shirt don't think many rovers fans watch rugby so what you are doing is paying £50 more for the same product which is good marketing really making you think you are getting more for your money for something you don't want ,wonder how much a season ticket is for the rugby is never been myself

Maybe the Mailshots are specific / targeted at certain people / groups of people ?
My Mates Wife got one whereas he and I did not. She bought a ST after Early Bird day last Season but the 2 of us bought in the first week. Just a suggestion

My wife and I got ours together, she gets them I don't. I'm speaking to the marketing team at the minute as they say they are being sent but I'm not getting them. Something isn't right. It's not the end of the world to me but if there's an issue the team can identify and fix from it then it's a good thing.
-
I spoke to the ticket office last week regarding the 5% Alliance discount. They said they are still doing it but it can't be used with the early bird offer, so if you buy in the first week you just get the 5% for buying it early. This does mean that if you're in the Alliance you don't have to rush to get your ticket in the first week as you'll get your 5% off whenever you buy it.
-
Suppose "one" cant have everything. One x 5% will have to do
Will miss my Charity Penalty most so TIA will have to make do with the proceeds of the Shirt Collection I have on the "For Sale" section !
Can we renew online ?
-
My mum was told yesterday that there will still be a series of draws for those who renew in the first week, including the option to take penalties.
When I log onto my online account I get the option to renew for next season, so yes, one would assume everyone can renew online.

Cheers Jenny I will give it another go. I may be hampered by the Script issue I am having (Thread on Off Topic).
-
I have just been through the process online and it even knocks off the 5% discount for renewals, so it is all working as it should do from the Rovers side.
Have you tried using a different browser? I am using Chrome.
-
I've just renewed my ticket online, took about 2 minutes and discount was added automatically so the site is definitely working.
-
Cheers to you both
I have it on screen now and just a click away - and if as above I cant "double" my 5% using Alliance discount as well I may as well press "GO"
Sorted !

I asked this morning about the possibility of trading the Dons season ticket for car parking for cup games, was told they not doing owt like that because eveyone will be wanting different things
-
I spoke to someone in admin on Friday on the question of. Is it only renewals that are on sale. My scenario. - I sit in the same seats almost every game, it is not held by any season ticket holder, can I buy the season ticket for that seat on Monday???? Answer is YES, if seats you want are not held by STH you can buy them immediately So it is basicall a free for all but you cannot buy seats already held by STH - I see no problems here.
-
My understanding is season ticket seats are held until a certain date but seats that are not currently 'occupied' are there for purchase immediately - or that's how things have been in the past.
-
YES that is what I was told and also includes the Bolt On too
-
Renewed mine in the ticket office an hour ago, was told they are not doing the penalty kicks this year.

Good, I don't want to embarrass myself again! :lol:

I have got my ticket paid for too.
Great value at £9.05 per match.
One of the few benefits of getting older.
Apologies to anyone paying for an adult ticket which costs more.
-
I noticed a few of you have said you have not yet received an email.
Please check your junk/spam folders, there have been a few cases where people have found the email in there.
If you still have not got one then please contact the ticket office who will send it directly to you.
-
I haven't got the email. Do I need it to renew?
I do get stuff from the ticket office so I was surprised I didn't get the email.
-
TRB log in online and go to your purchases then season ticket and if you want the same seat there is a renew option. Straight forward from there on in. 5% is automatically taken off.
-
Thanks. I am planning to do the renewal tomorrow.
-
We've renewed tonight, they said it's been pretty hectic today.
Can't grumble at League One football for less than what I've paid for a good few years.
-
Just renewed online. Piece of cake!
-
Just had a good look through this thread for info on the £10 membership scheme which has run previously. I can't see any conclusive evidence that this will still exist under the new ticketing structure? No mention of bronze level membership from what I can see; will this be for the £10 membership scheme?
Due to circumstances this has worked well for me over the past couple of seasons and it would be a shame to see it go.
-
Hmm, there was a simplified view of it all which included the membership on page 1 but it seems the image I posted has been removed for some reason. I'll post it again tonight.
The simple answer is yes the £10 membership scheme (which knocks 3 quid off a match ticket) is running again this year, and they'll be available from some time in June. I enquired about one for my wife when I renewed my ST.
-
Looks like the file location changed for some reason, here it is again for anybody new to the thread.

-
Thanks Superspy, much appreciated. Glad to see the membership remains as it was. I wonder if bronze has been reserved for this feature?
-
I'm afraid it's the membership for me next season I've missed 10 games this season through work it just isn't worth it tbh the old 10 game booklet would have suited me great
-
Membership for me too.
I would also have bought a ten match ticket.
-
I'd have considered the 10 game season ticket too.
-
They might still do them. Be daft not to have an option there even if say only 60 people bought one
-
I reckon since they brought in the £10 membership that works out cheaper than the old 10 game tickets did anyway. This season having a membership and going to 10 games in the South Stand would cost £180 (10 matches at £17 plus the £10 joining fee). I'm sure the 10 games tickets were more than this?
-
hmmm right - so if I buy an 18-21 year old season ticket for my lil' herbert, will that entitle me to use it to buy adult tickets for away games, for my own use, where a limited allocation means that they are prioritised for sale and ST holders get first dibs (I'm assuming that other clubs are not going to have similarly structured ticketing, and will just offer either adult or child tickets...)
-
Some clubs class 60 as concession age and some 65.
Swindon used to have a sign saying age 65 proof might be needed or entry could be refused.

It depends on what they would have priced them at this season
-
£150 would sell. Any more the saving is hardly justifiable for making a big up front payment rather than £17 per game

On my Grimsby ticket it said "seniors 65 yrs" or something like that but as a young un of 64 i was breaking the rules i guess.
The DRFC ticket office must know i am not yet 65 but obviously as at "home" i am a senior they were happy to let me have a senior ticket for the Grimsby game.
-
£150 would sell. Any more the saving is hardly justifiable for making a big up front payment rather than £17 per game
Depends on how many games you go to. If all 23 then you're paying £401 over a season. If you go to 9 games then you've spent more than £150. £300 isn't bad at all.

No I meant for the 10 game multi ticket thing for 150.
Season ticket prices are fine in my opinion.
