I recently put up a post a while back now about season ticket sales.....
I have looked into the official site and can't find anything on next season's ???
When will we get to know about sales please
I suppose this question is to Martin
Cheers
R.T.I.D
-
I put in the last post about this. I was speaking to the ticket office and they said not until towards the end of June
-
Just had a look on the EFL site and next seasons fixtures come out on Thursday 24th June.
-
Thank you but I must admit as I truly understand the reason for it being a little late on today's climate
I think we're missing a trick considering the manager we have in place
-
Not sure what way it's going to go. Pricing is key, at the same time will reduced prices get a substantial increase in volume. Tough one for sure.
-
I emailed the ticket office and they said in July once they know fans will be back.

why? Any one who is gonna buy one, Ain't not gonna buy one just cos they are not available till the end of June?
-
The club don’t want to start taking money for season tickets if there is a chance that fans can’t be there.

Probably quite right given they still have last years.... We must be about the last club to resolve that as yet.
-
People are still waiting for refunds for the season just gone and the one before
-
Go listen to the Radio Sheff interview with the CEO - the answers to your financial questions are there for all the world to understand
-
People are still waiting for refunds for the season just gone and the one before
the one before the club sent everybody emails as to if you wanted your money or put it towards the youth team
-
As we season ticket holders have been able to watch all the home matches for free this season why is everyone expecting a refund ?
-
A season ticket for most adults costs £300 or more.
Non-season ticket holders could've paid £10 a time to watch each home game, therefore getting the same thing for just £230. So some of the people who bought a season ticket might feel a bit hard done-to.
I, like most people I imagine, wouldn't expect or want any sort of refund but not everyone will see it that way.

You do not spend £300 plus on a Season Ticket to watch on the tele, it is for live football and that was not provided (through no fault of the club of course). It is a lot of money and in times like these anyone asking for a refund is entitled to one.
I'm not speaking personally, I don't want a refund for my ST and indeed spent more than £200 on top to watch iFollow away games and cup games, as many other supporters have. But you can't expect some not to exercise their right to that refund and I'm sure the club will provide one for those people.
-
As we season ticket holders have been able to watch all the home matches for free this season why is everyone expecting a refund ?
Total I spent on the family was about £700.
Had we bought every single I follow game (which I wouldn't have given they moved kick off times about) it's have max cost £230. That's a huge difference for a far interior product.
Lots like us will have seen redundancies also in their work so expecting something back doesn't seem unfair to many.

The club has a duty to make everyone aware of the club’s obligation to offer what refund they believe that is their entitlement. The decision not to except should be that the of supporters and then at least the club can avoid any disgruntlement . IMO a decent discount towards the new season 21/22 would be a compromise of sorts .
-
I hope that after all the fans who have donated their season ticket money by not claiming refunds, will make the club feel obliged to publish a full set of accounts, and not an abbreviated one as usual .
I hear the fsf among others are putting pressure on clubs to stop publishing abbreviated accounts too
-
Anyone who wants a refund should get it no questions asked and neither should they have to chase it.
I like a number on here have donated last years and will this years but that is purely my choice because of my financial position
-

because A), you paid for a ticket to attend at the KMS, which never happened, and B), what if you had no home WiFi and had no option to watch ifollow?
If you bought front row tickets for the world Cup final at great expense, then we're told you had to watch it on TV, would you accept the decision or ask for a refund?
I won't be asking for a refund. But I can understand why some would..
-
You should not have to ask. It should be offered and it should have been offered as soon as the season ended.
-

Same. I don't want my money back and I want to help the club wherever I can within reason, but I might have felt differently had I been in BFYP's position where I'd bought multiple Season Tickets in the family.

I Also Paid over £100 for Parking in the disabled section ...........no one hs even mentioned that?
-
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.

Richie's keeping it warm for you.
-
I'm told we should be hearing something end of this week beginning of next
-
You've also got to look at if the stadium is not open to full capacity they will be people who have bought west/East stand center season tickets but could be sat in the south /North stand
-
The think is don’t be inpatient what will be will be and it will come out ASAP. They can’t do or say anything till they know something, and that is down to the government
-
I can’t see anything being announced before the government’s 14 June statement which will outline wether things can fully reopen

Just spoke to the club and you won't have to wait very long.
The club are itching to get the info out. The EFL have advised clubs to plan for a normal season in terms of numbers etc, and from what I've just heard, I hope everyone will be pleased with what's on offer.
What with a new era under Richie and the prospect of getting back into the stadium, exciting times are ahead.
I held back last season due to Covid but this time I'll be making my purchase very soon!

That's right Baz, the club will be making announcements later today.
ST's will be available to purchase on-line from the 14th with in-person sales available from the 21st.
-
I happily let the club keep the money for my season ticket last season, but there was no mention of the extra I paid for parking on top of that, it looks like that was assumed to be taken by the club as well
-

then it will be a month after if they say no then
-
Will we still be able to renew our original seat.
-
*** Guessing ***
Yes - I would think thats nailed on BUT ...people might have to spend some matches in a different Seat or even different Stand if closures occur with sections of the Ground
-
Will we still be able to renew our original seat.
Yes.
-
Seen the offer, good stuff, but no mention of the car park pass that was never used and no mention of how to be rewarded for that
-
Have I read it right to get £200 back of my £400+ season ticket I've got to buy a season ticket for the next 5 years
-
Have I read it right to get £200 back of my £400+ season ticket I've got to buy a season ticket for the next 5 years
It appears that way. First impression is they've done some good things in this. The 18-24 piece is a great move imo.
I feel they could lay out a little more about last season for those who aren't renewing or want other options.
But I think the vast majority will be happy. It depends if you see your purchase as a club member or a ticket....
-
Have I read it right to get £200 back of my £400+ season ticket I've got to buy a season ticket for the next 5 years
You will get £40 off the cost of your renewal for the next 5 seasons.
(Essentially giving you back 50% from your season ticket last season that you didn’t get to use)

Totally taking the piss

Totally taking the piss
Care to explain?

Is it though? Is it really?
Shrewsbury’s thank you to supporters was to give them all a voucher for a free cup of tea/coffee at all home games next season.
Rovers are giving you £40 off your Season Ticket and giving you access to the Experience Club which is worth £120!
Brilliant if you ask us - but we have a glass half full perspective on things.
-
Any link to the offer? Can't see owt, must be on Twitter?

They are not giving me £40 off anything, they have kept the car park pass money, I was happy to donate my ST Money, I signed up for the lottery, I thought maybe we would get parking for free this season, but there has been no mention of the car park money

They're giving you £40 off next seasons ticket price, plus doing it again for another 4 seasons. How is that not giving you a discount?
Yes, I accept the car park but that's a separate issue. Why not take that up with the club?
-
I'm actually really disappointed with the offer.
Having spent over £900 on 4 season tickets last year to get at best £230 worth of value back using Ifollow (you only need one £10/game), I've basically donated £670 to the club. I don't want half of that back over the next 5 years.
I was actually happy to write off my Season ticket off, but with a significant partial refund on the others and this offer is not or near that.
I'm now thinking about not renewing now or in the future - I've just shown I can live without football for 12 months. Money is tighter than ever for some.
Can we legally request a full refund for services not delivered?

Not sure it’s a separate issue when it was bought alongside a season ticket, and yes I will be asking the question before I renew, it feels like they have ignored the money from the car park in the hope no one notices

We Purchased The Disabled Parkling with the Disabled season tickets last season ..............any idea what they are doing reference the parking as we paid over £100 basically and of course got nothing?
-
Genuine feeling. 'new' season ticket holders will be next to nothing with the prices IMO. Renewals will be okay but can see some being pissed off and seen as a clever tactic to get people renewing for the next 5 years.
-
No news for people who donated the remainder of 19/20 season ticket refund ?
-

Completely agree, nothing to incentivise new season ticket purchasers .
I would be classed as a 'new season ticket purchaser' despite having a season ticket for 20 plus years unbroken. Just because I didn't purchase last year for obvious reasons . I also purchased I follow for every match, despite being dog shit for half the season.
I also donated the remainder on my 19/20 season ticket refund .
I'd say there's a big chunk of people in the same boat as me .
The club really needs to be attracting new support
-

Its not a clever tactic to get people renewing for the next 5 years, its a clever tactic to stop the club going out of business.
-
What happens to the season ticket holders that can’t afford to donate £400 and renew again. I’m not interested in the benefits offered just thought my season ticket would be carried over. I donated the previous season unused ticket money and also joined the lottery.
-
It’s a great deal.
-
So ................no-one knows about the parking paid out last year then?
The correct thing on this would be free for this coming season?
-
I'm actually really disappointed with the offer.
Having spent over £900 on 4 season tickets last year to get at best £230 worth of value back using Ifollow (you only need one £10/game), I've basically donated £670 to the club. I don't want half of that back over the next 5 years.

I would recommend you contact the club directly to discuss options. If you email info@clubdoncaster.co.uk, it will be passed on to the relevant people.
-

You need to contact the club LD, I’m sure someone will have an open and honest conversation with you

I've just been reminded that this issue did come up at a supporters board meeting.
There was communication that went out to each individual about their car park pass, but it appears not everybody got it. So, I would suggest you get in touch.

totally agree my girlfriend was going to get one this season but I don't think we will now
-
So ................no-one knows about the parking paid out last year then?
I’ve had an email from the club within the last 10 minutes that has three options regarding car parking (silver +) one option is to defer last seasons to the coming season

As my previous post states I’ve had an email within the last 10 mins with a copy of that communication, never got it first time around
-
No news for people who donated the remainder of 19/20 season ticket refund ?
erm, you donated the remainder of your 19/20 season ticket.
That's it, its a donation.
-
Priceless.
-
It’s impossible to please all of the people all of the time. I politely suggest individuals with specific concerns/observations contact the club.
We on the SB tried to think of many eventualities but can’t cover everyone’s personal circumstances. I’m more than happy with the clubs offer with the idea of keeping OUR club afloat and future generations have a club to support.
-
As you say it’s impossible to please everyone but not everyone who took part in the survey wanted to donate the season ticket money, we hoped to just carry it over, have to apply for a refund and purchase again

Check your emails, I have now sorted mine, credit to Tracy for sorting it this late in the evening

As you it’s impossible to please everyone but not everyone who took part in the survey wanted to donate the season ticket money, we hoped to just carry it over
Surely the simple answer is to ask for a refund and then buy a new ticket with that?
-
“we wish to offer the following package”
Does that mean we’re entitled to a full refund if we don’t want to commit to the ‘five year thank you’?
-
I'm actually really disappointed with the offer.
Having spent over £900 on 4 season tickets last year to get at best £230 worth of value back using Ifollow (you only need one £10/game), I've basically donated £670 to the club. I don't want half of that back over the next 5 years.
I was actually happy to write off my Season ticket off, but with a significant partial refund on the others and this offer is not or near that.
I'm now thinking about not renewing now or in the future - I've just shown I can live without football for 12 months. Money is tighter than ever for some.
Can we legally request a full refund for services not delivered?
And just one other thought - I donated at the end of 19-20, now it seems 20-21, what happens if football gets disrupted again in 21-22? I'm not sure I want to keep taking this risk with season tickets donations for who knows what over the coming years? I'm happy to donate when I'm asked but not when it is assumed.
-
Given the circumstances
I think the club have been as generous as they can
-
As you it’s impossible to please everyone but not everyone who took part in the survey wanted to donate the season ticket money, we hoped to just carry it over
Surely the simple answer is to ask for a refund and then buy a new ticket with that?
How long will the refund process take?
-
I read this thread before seeing the announcement and thought it must have been a shit-show. Turns out the measures offered are really good for the most part.
If you want a refund...ask for one? The club won't just ignore you if you do.
Also, the 5 year spread of getting our 20/21 money back is for an obvious reason. If the club just give us all a free ST this year then they make £0 off of it. So how are we supposed to sign good new players, or even exist? This method makes business sense for the club and gives all of us loyal ST holders a long-term discount. What's the issue?
Sounds like the car parking thing has been addressed too, which my Dad will appreciate as last season was the first year he was paying for one due to age catching up with his back!
So the club get a full applause from me and will be getting two returning season ticket holders and one brand new one from my family. Top marks.
One related question - who sits on the Supporter's Board and how was it put together? Perhaps I should already know but for whatever reason, I don't.
-
What does it mean by the U17s STs being deferred? and will whatever it means be automatically applied online if we've got a login for the ticket system?
-
As you it’s impossible to please everyone but not everyone who took part in the survey wanted to donate the season ticket money, we hoped to just carry it over

How long will the refund process take?
8 days, 12 hours, 15 mins.....
-
I appreciate that everyone’s circumstances are different but I’m pleased with this offer
-
Is there an option to pay full price for those lucky enough to be able to afford it? It might help make up for what looks like some very understandable requests for refunds.
-
In my experience, the club are always happy to discuss individual concerns. They don't ignore people.
Let's not forget, we've been through unprecedented times and through fans generosity, it really helped keep the club on a sound footing.
The liability, should everyone want a refund, even a partial refund, would be damaging but the club are trying to mitigate that and give something in return
They understand there maybe people who's circumstances may have changed too, so, as said above they will deal with anyone who contacts them and try to reach a satisfactory conclusion.
-

Its not a clever tactic to get people renewing for the next 5 years, its a clever tactic to stop the club going out of business.
Exactly knowing this offer will do exactly this. Okay clever business then for better choice of wording.
-
Prices held to last years + £40 discount for 2020-21 ticket holders and people are complaining?
You can have a your money back for last season or use it to buy next seasons?
Am I missing something?
-
I think this is a great offer. I didn’t renew last season and donated what was left of the previous season. I watched every single ifollow match home and away so spent over 500 quid watching a massively substandard experience.
I sit in the south stand so £299 for live league one football watching the team I love they can take my money. 35 quid for under 17s is great and I’ll be buying a couple of those as well.
Membership cards to scan at the turnstiles is a good move
So, decent prices, an ambitious manager and a squad overhaul - I can’t wait!
-
Just this minute I have had an e mail from Tracey, that's dedication for you, thanking me for my donation and saying that she will apply my deferall of my silver plus element to season 21-22. I have asked her for clarification of what that is as I have not mentioned any deferrall
She has just replied saying car parking and hospitality so looks like the car parking side of the question is sorted
-
And yet another e mail, we have some fantastic staff
Dear Silver Plus Member
Following on from the communication I sent earlier this evening, I would like to clarify the offer to defer the Silver plus to the 21/22 season.
This offer is for the Car parking and Hospitality only (the bolt on that your paid £120 for during the 20/21 season and did not get to use).
Further communication will arrive with you from Saturday 12 June regarding the Silver Membership (Season Ticket element). Unless you have already seen this on the official website
-
No news for people who donated the remainder of 19/20 season ticket refund ?
erm, you donated the remainder of your 19/20 season ticket.
That's it, its a donation.
OK, I'm sure the club appreciated it, :rolleyes:.
So donated season ticket refunds from 19/20 aren't given access to the new package ?
-
I’ll be going for a refund, still deciding wether to use the refunded money to get a season ticket or just go as and when and my work pattern is now completely different post lockdown. A bit astonished they are not offering a simple ‘defer it to this season’ option but I’m not brass I’m just a fan.
If they had offered a simple transfer I’d have taken it even knowing I would miss 40-50% of home games but none of them options appeal to me

I understand they are a bit torn, and damned if they do damned if they don’t, they have a business to keep afloat of course. But for everyone person that is like me (I can’t be the only one) they’re now going to be down money

There doesn't appear to be an 18-24 option for the South Stand. The website states 22 - 24. Is this a typo or will 18 to 22 yr olds be barred from the South Stand next season?

Yes he chose to run a football business and it’s his choice as to how he spends his money and our money and I have no sympathy for for his difficulty after a laughable attempt to get promoted last season..
Have you had this vailed attempt to circumvent their legal obligation to its customers by using emotional bias to influence people not to ask for a refunds on car parking that still may not be able to be used . Without telling when they will open up for next season and at what price the cost of this 21/22 ticket , they want to know if supporters on the Silver Plus will still want car parking and how they want to pay for it .

I didn’t see a club has gone bust or driven to sacking its playing staff etc . You are just seeing it as a singularity , when they didn’t even furlough anyone or take government cash and still paid out to have pitch relaid at the end of the season after pickup an award for its perfection ? so money isn’t tight but flexible depending on who’s point of view is being asked . Millionaire’s pleading poverty .. don’t make laugh .

A large amount of non playing staff, at the very least, were indeed furloughed.
If you don’t know what you’re talking about, do us all a favour and shut up talking b*llocks.

18 hours on and a bit of reflection - 1stly I've not been emailed by the club, nor was I aware of previously statements about options for refunds, transfer of tickets etc (thanks for sharing) my only view was based on the DRFC ticketing page which I interpreted that this is the only offer on the table.
I'm much happier with the club on reflection if I'm given the choices suggested. For my package I'll probably ask for refunds on the 2 discounted tickets, but will donate the 2 adult tickets. I can afford to that, and this becomes my choice.
My feedback to the club would be ensure they communicate with members directly as well as put generic messages out on the web site. I know it's difficult, but I suspect like myself some others may have jumped to the wrong conclusion about the approach of the club. I also understand the club doesn't want to promote refunds, but the free press article provides better context “Your generosity has been truly amazing. To those supporters who are allowing us to treat their purchase last year as a donation and are willing to buy again this season, we wish to offer the following package.” - subtle difference and easy with hindsight I know.
In conclusion thanks DRFC - you have restored my faith and I shouldn't jump to conclusions without all the facts

Well £99 for 24 years olds is ridiculously good. Live in Leeds but 4 of us are probs going to buy one now and we wouldn't have considered it before yesterday.

Absolutely. I paid £270 at 16 and now pay £339 as an adult. To be fair all season ticket prices have been held fairly well over time, great credit for that and huge credit for fixing the problems retaining youngsters.
I'm sure the club will take on board some comments from some fans regarding other options granted they can't and won't please all fans it's impossible.

Why not get a refund on this year's season ticket then use the money to buy next year's?

I wish I had gone for a half season ticket last season as there wasn’t any football on show during the second half of the season, that’s for sure.

yes you are right about the furlough of some staff .. my point was they were paid in FULL and not from the government. So money was allocated quite rightly . My issue IS that the club should have repaid all those were out of pocket and not delayed any decision based on politics .

We won't have a football club if that happens
There are no winners which ever way you look at it
All the club can do is ameliorate the hardship to protect the football club

I've seen zero communication from the club saying that you can claim a refund

And they are about to sell next season season tickets without knowing if fans are going to be allowed back into the stadium
-
I’ve emailed the club and sorted a refund by BACs payment 18th June. The same day I’m renewing for 21/22 season. The ‘five year thank you’ doesn’t work for me but I’m still buying for next season after the refund and will also be buying my 3 year old her first season ticket.

That wasn't intentional, and if it comes across that way then apologies to goalkick.
The club website should always be the first port of call for information from the club online, particularly when it comes to tickets and official communications. Yes, many get their info from here or social media - I first read about this announcement here but when I read the actual club article it was at total odds with some of the things said in this thread - but it is common sense to go to the place where the club put out their official communications.

I spoke to the club earlier to ask how it was going, and they said they were extremely happy and grateful to all those supporters who'd made it known they were treating last seasons ticket as a donation.
Most said they'd appreciated the iFollow cost was in the region of £230, and therefore they'd had some value for their contribution.
Again most said they'd be renewing as soon as the online booking can be done.

Genuine question for Martin. Whilst the EFL are planning on crowds returning in August, today's appalling figures, and scientists' warning of a substantial 3rd wave, must surely put the whole thing in jeopardy.
Are there any contingency plans for that happening?

Is the official website the first place you look for news? It isn’t for me. It’s behind Twitter (including the official account and others) and this forum.
Anyway, on topic, I suppose I’m in something of a privileged position to be commenting in that I didn’t renew last year, so it doesn’t affect me. I don’t want to criticise others for their reactions (the negative ones anyway) but a few thoughts nonetheless:
- The club has to be run like a business, of course they’re going to want to maximise income streams and incentivise longer term season ticket commitments. And there is a benefit there for supporters, however I accept it may not suit everyone.
- At the moment we’re all waiting for news on new signings. That’s going to cost money, and you have to accept that there’s a need to balance the books somewhere - again pointing to ticket sales.
- The anecdotes above about Tracy and the ticket office staff reaching out to resolve issues for people match my own experiences of dealing with the club. They’re brilliant, and we’re so lucky to have so many of the people we do. Some people could maybe be more grateful for that.
- As I understand it people can still apply for full refunds, and of course some will need them. But I can understand the club will want as many people as possible to ‘buy into’ the five year offer.
- Since moving to Leeds, and since my Dad passed away, season tickets don’t necessarily work for me. But the moment the club appointed Wellens I’ve felt compelled to get one again. For me they’ve made a statement of ambition and intent with that choice, and I want that to continue with the incomings on the playing side (Close is an excellent start) so I’d like to do my bit. I’m genuinely excited about the prospect of watching us again this coming season.

From an EFL or club point of view?
The club have built into next seasons ticket a refund per game if missed for any reason. Its not a full ticket refund but covers 50% of the cost. And, as I say, its for any reason so long as you let them know in advance.
If the worst comes to the worst, which it won't, you'll get 50% back and a chance to watch on iFollow.

For news? Not necessarily, but I don't get it from this forum. If I'm waiting on ticket information, or a fixture change, or merchandising promotions, or an expected club statement, then yes I will absolutely check the official website first because that is where those things will be first reported.
Signings and things like that are also put out on the official site alongside social media before other outlets pick them up usually too.

I am disappointed as I thought the club could have given a discount on the season tickets after donating a season and a half back to the club, I don’t think it was too much to ask

They have

They have
tell me how as mine is still 219 as last season

Dave you had I follow for last season they are offering £40 off next season and for the 4 years after, thats a pretty good discount to me and they have kept last years prices
Also your car parking is carried over to next season along with some other bonuses, what's not to like?
-
The cash discount might not be £40 off a seniors ticket.
The DROS says a discount of £20 to £40 so I guess that depends on the full price off the ST.

does that mean £40 off the price of the season ticket plus £40 off as well for a early bird one

Does that mean we’re entitled to a full refund if we don’t want to commit to the ‘five year thank you’?

Me as well , I've even looked on the official site and i cannot see anywhere that says you can get a refund on last years season ticket , And the 50% back on games you cannot attend only applies to 4 games, A lot of people have lost there jobs in the last 18 month and will really need the money back or to put towards next years season ticket, giving me £40 a year back over 5 years will not work for a lot of us.
-
Have you tried ringing the club to clarify your position?
They can probably answer this in a couple of minutes.

The one thing that does bother me is those ST holders who are now asking for a full refund and disregarding the iFollow service they enjoyed last season. That's poor form at a time when the club needs our help.

Surely they get a refund minus £10 per game for the home iFollow games they watched.

Not all people used that service though? Or the service they received wasn't great OR had multiple season tickets to 1 household.
Like I said in a previous post, I’m receiving a full refund (18/06/21) then spending around another £140 as well as the refund the day I get it. It’s what works best for me and in the bigger picture the club end up with the same, if not more money over the 20/21 & 21/22 season. I’d probably not be able to afford it if not, even though I shouldn’t have to explain myself.
Everyone’s trying to do THEIR BEST to keep the club going, it shouldn’t put people in a difficult situation.
-

I take the point. But what about those who:
1. Didn't or couldn't watch it.
2. Found it a poor product.
3. Found it vastly inferior and not worth £10.
4. Live with others who had access so pay more than once for something others paid once for.
It's not that simple and these to me are all valid arguments.
I do though agree, if you liked (note liked not enjoyed last season) watched every game, are getting some money back and are an individual then I don't think it's morally right to ask for all money back. Some people in times we are in will just want the money, I can understand that but don't necessarily agree.
-
At the end of the day, people who paid for a Season Ticket last season paid hundreds of pounds to watch 23 live football games and they got the opportunity to watch 0. However you slice it, they are entitled to refunds if that is what they want because what they paid for was not provided (through no fault of the club, but still). Getting on a high horse about that is not fair or needed.
I watched every game on iFollow, I'm not asking for a refund and I will be buying again next week, but I have never liked this viewpoint that watching the games on tele from the sofa was comparable to the live experience and therefore made Season Tickets worthwhile. It didn't. It was the best available option in the circumstances, but still vastly inferior to sitting in the stands cheering the team on, seeing friends and family and enjoying a day out at the football. So I don't begrudge anybody who feels that that experience was not worth £300 or £400, because I don't think it was even though I'm not somebody who wants their money back.

and nether are we supporters and fellow pensioners. I tried to watch it on I follow but most of the time it was very hit and miss so I never got my money’s worth, and I am also not asking for my money back, but I do expect fair play and it wouldn’t hurt to give a bit of discount in aid of loyalty as us fans have shown loyalty for a season and half

I'm not going to respond to everybody who seems to think the point was aimed at them, it wasn't.
My point was those who are asking for a full refund AND disregarding the iFollow service that they enjoyed.
Now, if you didn't, or couldn't, watch iFollow then of course this wasn't a comment aimed at you.

What proportion of the £10 iFollow home games money would the club have received and how much of the away game £10 money would the club have received.

The one thing that does bother me is those ST holders who are now asking for a full refund and disregarding the iFollow service they enjoyed last season. That's poor form at a time when the club needs our help.
The club isn’t a charity and should not look for it !!
So what does your business model look like please

Surely they get a refund minus £10 per game for the home iFollow games they watched.
You would think so, but its not happening.
Who's fault is that though? Surely the club have access to who watched the ifollow games and can adjust refunds accordingly? At the start of the season people were using individual codes to access and then their accounts in the latter parts. The club must have some kind of records?
I feel like making people reach out for refunds is a bit like emotional blackmail
-
Have the actual prices been released and will we just be able to sort it online ?
-
The prices are all shown on the DROS.

Ok thanks

Well no, that's not right.
iFollow is an EFL product and the data is held by the EFL.
The data is accessible by the club but not in a format that would help them deliver the solution you mention. The data isn't broken down match by match.
And iFollow wasn't built or designed to do what it did last season. It was adapted at rapid speed to provide a solution that would keep season ticket holders happy so they wouldn't be demanding refunds. If they hadn't have done that then just about every EFL club would have gone out of business within a few months.
Unlike other business's football carried on, had to pay players and yet had no match day income other than the money received for season tickets.
Its certainly not intended to be blackmail, but a lot of thought and effort went into giving money back to ST holders but yet enabling the club to carry on and survive. Other clubs at our level have done nothing of the sort.

Though the plight of football through this crisis was there to see ….but not ONE club went to the wall so something was done to prevent this . Fans rallied , players took a wage cut ( temporary) and EFL juggled it’s priorities to help. But NO mention of the millionaires who own their clubs digging deep . I do not begrudge owners from stating their views and putting the facts out there , but to seek only to ask supporters to take the brunt when many of them have had greatly reduced finances or lost their jobs is poor judgment on the these clubs , particularly when they turned and walked away from wage capping and budget prudence measure being mandatory. WHY because it would have removed their advantage of their status of higher earning from the large crowds that clubs like Sunderland , Sheffield Wednesday and Portsmouth etc all seeking not to have a levelled up financial playing field . So I do think refunds should have been given without prejudice and left to the individual to decide without the obvious bias written into the statements given out by the club.. this should not be a debate carried out on here but a recognition that things are starting from a lower expectations due to the current situation.

Our owners dig deep every season. Why do you feel they should give even more millions? I don't see anyone with your bank statement deciding how much you should invest into this part of your life.
Seriously, be grateful for the ownership we have, not the ownership you wish we had that would be bankrupt in two seasons if they invested as you want them to.

You just can’t resist it can you, why do you think we even have a club. You are like an unwanted stuck record
-
Since - 1969 not one club will come out of this financially well, some of the bigger clubs with traditionally bigger crowds have lost massively when it comes to revenue and their underlying costs are larger than clubs like ours as well.
Hence the problems that a club like Sheffield Wednesday and Derby County are undergoing, and they are not the only ones, and with an uncertain future ahead that nobody can forecast with certainty how quickly it will return to normal as far as attending games and the business of clubs like hospitality and functions are concerned is somewhat of a guess, and some of the bigger spenders are just continuing to push the boat out.
If the majority of football clubs were ordinary Businesses they would have shut down years ago.
We have a good management team who have to look at the big picture, not just the playing side, and from the outside looking in as we as supporters are all having to do, and not knowing the real cost of the financial hit, as far as I can see as a club we have been steered through the pandemic quite well as a club of which the playing side is the one us supporters concentrate on and tend to dismiss the other side of the business which underpins everything.
All we can now do is where possible show our support to the club in whichever way we can, the best way by going to games and buying tickets if we have the funds to do so, let the business side and the team management get on with their jobs with the finances that are made available, and hope we have a little of that thing called luck and can recover to something like normality and make some progress.
-
I'm sure the gap to fill has been bigger this season, despite everyone doing their bit (that's as much as I'm feeding the troll).
-
Will be interesting to see the balance sheet from this season to see how much extra our owners have provided to keep us going a bit more than the annual £2m which even that is not enough for some of our so called supporters
-
Let's hope they do the right thing and publish the FULL set of accounts and not the abbreviated one as usual.
I think fans of all clubs deserve full transparency, especially this time, when so much has been done by the fans to keep the clubs going .
-
At the end of the day. we all want value for money but also a team we can support that will be sustainable well into the future.
It is an individual's responsibility to judge whether the compromises the club has made are adequate and suit the individual's needs.
In my case, I'm quite happy to make a long-term commitment even though I'm in the seniors bracket now. I will also donate last season's offered refund, as I did the year before, but I can probably afford it.
You will never please all the people all the time but the club are actually being very generous compared to many others as far as I can see.
-
Each individual has to decide what is best for them and shouldn’t be derided for it, in respect to the Club I personally feel they have done a great job compared to so many, have a look at what Cheltenham have done to their fans, we would all complain if ours had done the same

I'm willing to wager 60% of Sims wages were paid by Southampton whilst he was on loan here.
Reading that snippet of the article to me insinuates that he was our player & we paid it all.
-
Clearly it is total fantasy. Joe Wright one of our lowest earners on a grand a week or Jon Taylor and Reece James both earning more than Ben Whiteman. There is no way they could possibly know this information for the entire squad.

Can't believe I'm even responding but
a) run the club as cheap as they can? Er no, they could easily put in nothing.
b) do you really think they could ever sell DRFC/Club Doncaster for a profit against all they've put in?
c) you can't sell anything without a buyer. Are they turning bids down from Russian oligarchs weekly that we're not aware of?

It’s my view and I don’t expect others to agree , yet there are those who feel that we’re not ambitious enough , when a club like Blackpool who got their owner monkeys of their backs to be in a position to attract our players and progress in to the Championship all under COVID-19 . Where we just threw our well positioned chance away with a serious of bad decisions and even worse excuses !! Its 1 step forward 3 steps backwards .

Where has the assumption come from that Mr Bramall want to sell...
He alone puts in a minimum of 1 million pounds a year - in what life are you living that that is not a significant yearly input/ personal loss, and have the ability to request/demand more.
I look forward to your take over bid, and our throwing money around like it is water.

It doesn't have to be for sale for people to express interest/make an offer as happened with the previous takeover bid and it was stated at the time that the current owners would always be open for discussions with interested parties.

They haven't said they're going to save you money on what you previously paid, they've said they're going to give you half of this season's ticket price back by way of discounts over the next 5 years, so the listed price of £329 will be discounted accordingly. The image of the pricing structure on the official website has a thing next to it that says "Discount to be subtracted from these prices based on price paid last year."
Not sure how that correlates with you paying £299 for CAT B last year though as everything I've seen says CAT B was 329 last year early bird and 359 after the early bird.

Your asking the wrong folks … this lot believe that the CEO and Board walk on water and their money is sacred and shouldn’t be parted with for the likes of you or me !!
Well, the millions they put in year after year shouldn’t be parted with for the likes of reality deniers like you, Mr 69.
BVB you’re wasting your time he’s probably a flat earther too

There was an Extremely Early Bird last season (first week/10 days of sale?) which got the Cat B price down to £314.00, which is what I paid. Prior to that Cat B was around £324/£329 for the few seasons preceding.
Looking at it (depending on what the discount is from the club) I'll either be effectively breaking even or making money back over the next five seasons.
-
Cool, so if you paid 314 last season you'll get 40 quid a season off the listed price for the next 5 seasons.
-
There's always the option instead whining about it, not buying one if everything upsets you so much.
-
About £31.40

really, I've paid 299 for the past so many seasons, and it's been cat C?
-

On that basis then, I'll be +£116 up after five years.
I appreciate this isn't a one size fits all solution, and it was never possible for it to be so, but from my perspective it's a great deal.
-
That is IFyou get the full £40 refund
-
If you look at the twitter panel on the left you'll find this from Shaun;
To try and clarify
The 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 £200
We'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.
Hoping that helps @vscofficial

It was the Copps two year deal for the last two and the year before was that price for the early bird.

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.

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

Most people under 24 earn f*ck all. They're trying to grow the next generation too, you don't do that by pricing them out.

ok saying that I’m 70 in July all I get is my state pension, and don’t qualify for any benefits at all and have an illness to boot, and struggling to pay the £219 a season. Where as 18-to 24s only pay £99 that can’t be fare

so it’s ok to price out the old age that has kept pumping money on all them years

Like many many others I suggest we all stop, take a step back & remember this is the time we all need to try to stick together. Let’s not divide & yes I fully understand that life ain’t always fair. I cannot take account everyone’s different circumstances & the trials and tribulations we go through day after day.
With regards to the decision to keep our concessionary rate at 60, then I can only applaud our club.
Lincoln City, last season ( I believe) upped their concession rate from 60 to 65. To me that’s ANOTHER plus from the club & without wishing to sound patronising, we’re another day closer to watching OUR team play again.
-
I have no idea why the younger age bracket are getting criticised?
It has always been good practice to offer cheaper tickets to younger supporters, because as DonnyOsmond says we will not grow the next generation of fans if they can't afford to come to games regularly. They will find plenty of other things to do with their Saturday afternoons.
As for them earning...ey? The majority of 18-24 year olds are either on lower wages due to minimum wage laws or apprenticeships, or on no wages because they're at university or college.
Regardless, it shouldn't be a competition. There have always been discounts for young people and for seniors, as there should be, and it's good that the club set those limits at the ages they do. Many clubs do not extend them to 24 years old or start them at 60 years old, often it is up to 21 and over 65 for concession prices.
Rovers do very well with their price offerings inmm my opinion.
-
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 !!

Well Luton do a cheaper ST for 75 y olds for 210 quid so thats a saving for someone of that age
However from 65 its 290 and they pay 400 quid from 60 to 65 .
Dont want to say Rovers are mean for not having a 75 plus concession cos I reckon I will be better off {Cat A] by £1305 by then as against a Luton fan although they are Tier 2 at the moment
They do make 18 to 24s pay same as old scrotes [and scrotesses] though

The discount seems pretty clear to me and is automatically knocked off the total when clicking on renew.
The only thing it doesn’t do is discount the Alliance 5%, however Suzanne explained that in advance to me

The poster I replied to made a particular comment with regard to the Experience club and stated that it shouldn't be shown in the calculations for savings.
I stated that nobody had referred to it as savings.
You then stuck your nose in to correct me, but if you read the post as it was written you'll see that. If you want to make a different point then you should make that clearer.
-
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.
I just called the club to ask about renewing my season ticket and asked if the discount could be applied over next season and not 5 and was told no way , I did not want to ask for a full refund and had know Comms from the club as the lady on the phone had to call me back as the could not find me on the data base as been a season ticket holder, I lost my job in the pandemic , then put on furlough and lost that one and just got a job back in Doncaster, any advice

I think everybody's situation is always different and COVID will further complicate decisions on whether to buy a season ticket. I was quite chuffed when I hit 60 and got a relatively cheap ST so have not hesitated to renew. The free games coverage was great and bearing in mind a home game costs near on £100 in petrol and a ticket if I did it that way its a no brainer.
If I was in a tight spot though, had maybe just lost my job and had some tough decisions to make a ST would get trimmed off the budget pretty damned quickly. Needs must.
-
I was all set to but really debating it now. Ifollow replacement pointless for me if it came to that again.
-
I don’t think iFollow replacement is available.
-
More for when Boris does the opposite of what he's said now. Another lockdown or restrictions on mass gathering inevitable
-
It's all a matter of choice now. I've got my season ticket because I don't know at my age how many years I've got left in this life, and if that were to be a life with no entertainment, then I'd rather not be here at all.
An interesting point though is the suggestion someone made that we might have to provide Covid passports to get into the KM. I've had my jabs, but what about anyone who's bought a ST and hasn't been jabbed. Would they have to get a refund?

You really seem to have a problem with the club you supposedly support.
I suggest you go and support a Premier league club. Sure you would be much happier with a club that has tens of millions to throw about.

But he says he's not buying a season ticket so wtf it's got to do with him I have no idea

Exactly can only post negative drivel
Should change profile name to “Spouting Shite Since 1969”
Why has only 50% been refunded please - I had a choice accept a discount for the next few years or ask for my money back in full. MY CHOICE was to not ask for my money back, as it was for others

Yes, there's a clue in the word 'supporter' but probably a bit too cryptic for them.
Not at all. Plus you have no idea what type of supporter I am.
I might have spent loads more money supporting the Rovers than you have.
I have bought STs for many years and Rovers have been my club since my first visit to BV in 1962.
It’s a bit harsh to suggest that I’m not a supporter.

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.
You won't be making any complaints about the playing budget then?

If you received an award for being the Rovers No1 supporter of all time . This lot will still shoot you down as only being part time and therefor without an opinion worthy of note .

We really do have some strange people on here.

Barnsley have sold 11k and have stopped selling season tickets as they don't think they will be able to go to full capacity
They're 70 quid cheaper than ours. Partner dad paid 250 on halfway line for next season!

Fans attending sports venues with capacities of about 20,000 or more may be required to show proof of full vaccination from the end of September, under plans being considered by the government, looks like no need of proof of a vaccination next season , from the BBC
-
Plenty of grounds in League One with capacities bigger than that. Sunderland, Ipswich, MK Dons, Hillsborough, Bolton, Wigan, Portsmouth, Charlton.
-
Happy to say I bought my ST today along with 4 others in our group. Really looking forward to getting back. We're Going 4 It!
Good to see the club have provided a match guide for the Newcastle game listing the measures in place which gives us a flavour of what might be ahead for the start of the league programme.

What time is KO tomorrow

How many season tickets have we sold?

There will probably be a detailed announcement on all these issues sometime today.

Ours are clearly overpriced, and feel it's not been appreciated me donating the remainder of my 19/20 season ticket money .
Won't be doing that again .

No they're not clearly overpriced. That may be your opinion but there are many more out there who feel they are getting good value for money.

You know we get multiple years discount, so if this Barnsley discount is just this year than ours over 5 years is saving us a lot more?

Not sure they are usually slightly cheaper than us every year. I just think Barnsley are rrally cheap not that we're overpriced at all. No doubt that will also be the lowest ST price in the Championship

You’re probably in a very small minority that think SM stepping down is a good thing, the 19/20 season ended with a few games to go, people have donated far more than that since then without begging for a personal thank you

Would be good if someone could be ar**d to do a comparison between the 2 Clubs based on someone having a ST from 12 till 75
Would take every benefit into consideration for each Clubs fans such as the extra 5 years of Concession Tickets for 60+ people etc and the extra 4 years discount we got as a "thank you" for not taking a refund
Bet there isnt much in it and yes they are in Champ and us in L1 but we could both be in same Division after this Season
If our Tickets work out more expensive I would still prefer watching us for [say] an extra £5 than them and save a fiver

It's not ust that I didn't get a thanks, I didn't even get a response to my email .
It's common courtesy and professionalism.
Fans have been milked dry, how many other industries are there that expect donations of hundreds from customers ?
I'm not just talking about me here .
Didn't see any Debenhams fans donating £300 to keep them going .
I'd also like to know how much more tb has put in during these times ?
For the sake of fans who are now not just emotionally invested, but financially too .
Could the donations be converted into shares and given to the vsc ?
Serious question .

“ Didn't see any Debenhams fans donating £300 to keep them going.”
There have been a lot of classic lines written on this forum. This one is up there with the best. I don’t know if you are a man, woman, child, or how old you are, I do know you’re no football fan though.

Your donated 3 or 4 games never amounted to anywhere near £300
-
How have fans been milked dry? Each one of us has a choice to either donate or ask for a refund it’s simple really no one has been forced to donate. If you haven’t received an email then I doubt you had a season ticket or one of the 10 game packages because the people who work in the office have been nothing but helpful. I bet you haven’t contacted the club to ask about your missing email, if it bothers you so much give them a ring or are you expecting someone from the VSC to do it even though you slag them off.
-
I don't get the need for a personal thank you to an individual
-
Are we in the Championship or Barnsley ??
Your point being?
Barnsley in the Championship are making a good fist of getting fans back into the ground using season ticket pricing as part of this and with their Championship budget are keeping everything affordable.
Rovers are attempting to do likewise and with a lower wage budget than Barnsley, yet those who think Barnsley’s season ticket is better value , may have point . But if Rovers raised its prices to help with the player budget it wouldn’t go down well ,?but it would be justified if things are to get back into a competitive place .
-
I'm not sure the matchday revenue is that critical in Championship even for Barnsley, hence they can offer lower prices.
For example, in the last proper season 19/20, Barnsley received £5.3m in Solidarity Payments from the EPL while we received £1.3m. There is also a basic award for being in the Championship which is I think about another £2.5m. In League One it is about 250k. These figures are not rock solid but you get the picture in general. It’s not a Premier League windfall but get into the Championship and your non-match day income rockets.
Yes wages and players are more expensive, but the matchday income for Barnsley would I suspect be a much smaller proportion of their income overall than for us. That we have such competitive pricing amidst that is a good deal.

Barnsley also charge interest on their spread payments, going up to 9.70% for 10 months.
Doncaster only charge a flat admin fee and no interest.
But what about his 3 or 4 games he donated without any thanks
It's not ust that I didn't get a thanks, I didn't even get a response to my email .
It's common courtesy and professionalism.
Fans have been milked dry, how many other industries are there that expect donations of hundreds from customers ?
I'm not just talking about me here .
Didn't see any Debenhams fans donating £300 to keep them going .
I'd also like to know how much more tb has put in during these times ?
For the sake of fans who are now not just emotionally invested, but financially too .
Could the donations be converted into shares and given to the vsc ?
Serious question .
Your donated 3 or 4 games never amounted to anywhere near £300
Like I clearly said, I'm not just talking about myself
-
How have fans been milked dry? Each one of us has a choice to either donate or ask for a refund it’s simple really no one has been forced to donate. If you haven’t received an email then I doubt you had a season ticket or one of the 10 game packages because the people who work in the office have been nothing but helpful. I bet you haven’t contacted the club to ask about your missing email, if it bothers you so much give them a ring or are you expecting someone from the VSC to do it even though you slag them off.
Where have I slagged off the vsc ? Please show me .

I can assure you I had a season ticket.
As far as milking the fans dry .
I'll ask the question again, how many other industries are patrons asked, nay, expected to donate large sums of money to an organisation they frequent?
I'm not just talking about rovers fans here, I'm talking about football fans in general .
You can give me a round figure if you wish. But I know what the answer is .

“ Didn't see any Debenhams fans donating £300 to keep them going.”
There have been a lot of classic lines written on this forum. This one is up there with the best. I don’t know if you are a man, woman, child, or how old you are, I do know you’re no football fan though.
How you work that one out then ?
Again, how have you worked that out ?

If you see DRFC as an “organisation you frequent” you’re not a football fan.

OK, so your missing completely the analogy I have used. Have another read.
If you still don't get it, then you probably lack the intelligence required, which I don't blame you for. I would suggest eating more nutritional food, especially with omega 3, to give your brain a chance .
Maybe read a few books too, start with the easy ones . .
I live and die by the results of drfc. I can trace my families history of supporting the club to before the titanic set sail .
For the past 50 plus years talk of rovers and football in general has been THE continuing theme of discussion in my house. Never a day goes by without rovers being in my thoughts .
But you think what you want .

I've definitely seen better poems before.

Barnsley have sold 11k and have stopped selling season tickets as they don't think they will be able to go to full capacity
They're 70 quid cheaper than ours. Partner dad paid 250 on halfway line for next season!
That's excellent .
Ours are clearly overpriced, and feel it's not been appreciated me donating the remainder of my 19/20 season ticket money .
Won't be doing that again .
Shaun did some comparisons between Barnsley and Doncaster based on this thread and me asking if they were a lot cheaper than us
Taking on board a complete comparison between renewal discounts(5 year thanks you's) and full season tickets
ADULTS
Barnsley adults range between £235 to £475
Doncaster adults range between £269 to £395
SENIORS
Barnsley seniors range from £145 to £270
Doncaster seniors range from £199 to £295
Barnsley seniors start at 65
Doncaster seniors start at 60 so start five years younger
YOUNG ADULTS
Barnsley young adults range from £145 to £270
Doncaster young adults range from £79 to £195
Barnsley young adults are 19 – 21
Doncaster young adults are 18 – 24 so start younger and last for longer
JUNORS
Barnsley £70 to £115
Doncaster £35
Barnsley juniors are 12 -19
Doncaster Juniors are 12-18
CHILDREN
Barnsley £10 to £35
Doncaster £35
Barnsley children are U12
Doncaster children are U12

Well I can assure you - you are not talking on my behalf. I’m more than happy with the package put together for season ticket holders. Wonder whose behalf you think you are speaking for ???

It’s a shame Debenhams have gone bust, you could have gone there next Saturday with a Debenhams scarf and watched their window for an hour and a half.
Do they have a scarf?
Come on you Debenhams!

They don’t expect though they only hope and has stated before each fan has a choice to either donate or ask for a refund so your argument is flawed

You slagged SM off who is part of the vsc and when posting on topics in respect of issues like this is doing so in that capacity and not from a personal point of view

I’ve had about 3 emails thanking me for renewing and donating so not sure why he hasn’t unless he’s changed email addressed
Likewise, I also had a written letter thanking me

Genuine question, with two weeks to the first game are we close on getting our tickets available?

Why all this Bunkum about Bloody Barnsley?
Surely we are Doncaster Rovers supporters and I for one is so thrilled to get back to The keepmoat and Yes i am going to the friendlies and WILL go to the other Cup matches (while LOTS cant be arsed to do that) and i along with Pammy will be cheering on Donny
There are 2 things that you can do .......get tickets be it season tickets / special deal tickets / 1 off tickets....................or not or stay at home or even go to Bloody Barnsley.
END OFF

Are season cards ready to be collected?
This is new technology to Rovers and season tickets are pre programmed to the individual person . I can see problems ahead if the government continues with its Covid passport intentions. Namely what do ALL clubs do that uses a bar coded entry system or season ticket holders generally , about compliance , as surly the club who need to know who entitled to by law having verified their vaccinations and who has not . This could mean paid season ticket holders being lockout by default as some my not have had their vaccinations or taken up the offer or can not due to a circumstance .

It may be new to the Keepmoat Stadium but it’s been about years so should not be an issue

Its been made clear that grounds that hold less than 20,000 won't have any restrictions placed on them, so us Ostriches are just not wasting our breath on something that doesn't affect us.
To be fair though, ostriches like me say more to the club and question all decision being made than those who post misinformed posts on this forum.

WHEN a vaccination passport Is introduced it could mean person have paid for a season ticket will NOT be allowed entry if the cannot show either a negative test or a Double Vaccination certificate . This IS happening by September 21 . My point is it’s just another problem this club along with others can do without. 20,000 capacity’s is aimed at Premier League clubs BUT it’s being extended to cover ALL football to L2 level now . as 4.6 m people watch football and other sports weekly .Covid-19 is here to stay and winter is going to see its return. You should get YOUR facts right .

Would be interested to see how many we've sold. Rotherham only put theirs on sale a few weeks ago and have sold over 5500. Im guessing we are nowhere near that

Are we even selling season tickets now? Can't see any online

At present the talk of introducing Covid passports are only for Nightclubs and events where 20k or more people attend, those are the facts at present how can the club determine what to do about things that haven’t happened or even been talked about yet?

It was only capped before the July announcement of lifting restrictions was confirmed .
Must say it would be embarrassing if we can't at least match rotherham in terms of sales .
But I feel the club really lacks in the marketing department, and always has done, so I doubt most of the donny public are even aware they are on sale .

I just can't understand why they aren't available to buy online. Been trying all day to get through on the phone. I live 80 miles from Doncaster so I can't just go to the stadium.
No wonder sales are low. I wonder how many other people are struggling to buy?

Great thank you. But why the hell are they not available on the main page which is where people are going to go? Its amateur stuff really, and like I said I wonder how many other people have struggled to find it. No wonder sales are low.
But now i've found it, a couple more will be purchased.

Should be a one click link but glad people are finding them that want them.
Personally I don't care how many other teams have sold, I only care about drfc

I really don't understand why people are so obsessed or embarrassed by what other clubs' fans are doing.

I too couldn't get through on the phone last week when I tried, several times and on different days. The call takes you through the menu options and rings a couple of times after selecting the required option but then goes to voicemail.

"The other man's grass" syndrome, J. Some people do it on the playing side as well. According to some of the comments on here about all the so called "big" clubs in League 1 this year, even including Rotherham and Wycombe, we might as well not bother turning up.

It isn't that. Just wondered what Rotherham were doing differently is all.

https://tickets.clubdoncaster.co.uk/subscriptions
Only shows Belles and Rugby for me following the links on the site.
www.doncasterroversfc click the menu icon right hand side of page, click on tickets then season membership
Coming up with exactly the same.
Tried ringing the office, no one asnwers.
Must've reached the 3k cap.
It was only capped before the July announcement of lifting restrictions was confirmed .
Must say it would be embarrassing if we can't at least match rotherham in terms of sales .
But I feel the club really lacks in the marketing department, and always has done, so I doubt most of the donny public are even aware they are on sale .
More importantly, how many have Debenhams shifted?
You've still not got the point have you? ! :laugh:
Read any books yet?
-
Tbh if you want them enough you will find them. If not then you'll look for reasons to blame someone else
Really? Wouldn't it just be easier for the club to make it easier to find and actually list them under the season ticket section of the website?
With the best will in the world Chris, it took me about 30 seconds to find them.
Wow, analogies really aren't your strong point are they.

Well I bought mine yesterday. here's to hoping the budget is cranked up loads now

I asked Liam if the budget was based on session ticket sales eg if we break through the 3000 does it go up a level. The answer is no its based on it being back to pre covid levels now.
Suggests to me that richie has not managed his budget very well and spent it all before getting what he needs.

I'm asking for a refund if not. No signings since as well. Board out.

Why does it suggest that?
Season hasn’t started yet and we’ve signed 6/7 players
-
How many have we flogged? The under 25 price is a steal. Anything less than 5k would be concerning I think especially for budget setting.

You can see folk being unsure. Some will be cautious about COVID risk. Many will be thinking we are going to be back in lockdown come October when the government f**ks it up again somehow, so better to pay on gate.
-
That 20 quid member card will probably be popular. Gets you in for 17 quid a game and DNA card.

Not all supporters are bothered to turn out to friendlies.

Not seen any news yet about when they are available to collect, I’m away from Saturday to Friday next week, looks like I’ll be collecting on the opening match day
-
Yeah I find it really weird that I bought a season tickets about a month ago but zero news on when I can collect it. Season starts next week! Anyone heard anything?
-
I'm sure that Silent Majority should be able to assist with an update...... does seem a bit last minute, but perhaps they have had issues at the ticket office.
-
When I spoke to ticket office last week they were preparing all the packs. Not sure what's in the packs but guess will include info about using the card and the combined DNA card etc.
I'm sure they'll be working hard to get them all ready for collection.
-
Mate of mine whose purchase one says he can pick it up middle of next week ??
-
Don’t they post season tickets out?

Not automatically, I think there was option to request this but there was a further charge for P&P

He's seemingly spanked his budget on those he's signed meaning he's run out of money to get strength in depth essentially.
He could be playing mind games as has been suggested as he's signed (Inc barlow) 2 further strikers since saying he's got to get some players out.
Could be mind games to get others to step up and perform to prove him wrong or stop reeds agent trying to get a fortune for him. Reed hopefully likes it here enough to sign from what others have said but can't leave it too late or he'll be gone

It will be carnage at the first game unless the season ticket cards are available to collect soon.

They could just send out tickets for the first few games until they get Organised .

Bought mine and my nephew's today from the ticket office, they just said be ready sometime next week, which you'd hope it would be

You’d think at least one of those days would have extended opening times. 9am to 4:30pm doesn’t even cover the working day for most of us!
-
Not much good for those that go on holiday tomorrow and don’t get home until Saturday morning, a week before is far too late

I am going to buy mine on Weds or Thursday and hope to be able to collect it on the day.
Would you like me to pick yours up at the same time and push it through your letterbox.
-
Another thing is there's no late opening hours at the moment are there? so if you didn't choose the postage option when you paid and you work during the day you're buggered.

You’ll probably need ID, thanks for the offer anyway but I’ll just rock up a bit earlier on Saturday.
How do you inow where I live?

I don’t know where you live but I am in Hatfield, not far from you in Stainforth. You could have PMd your address to me.

There was a smiley winky thing at the end of my post, but disappeared when I posted the reply, it was a little humour but the forum software didn’t like it ( smiley winky thing here)

Fair enough, no problem anyway.
There is likely to be a significant queue on Saturday so if you change your mind before Weds the offer still stands.

Thanks, we’re only going Skirlington, the last time we went to the Yorkshire coast, I forgot my medication and so I drove back home to pick it up, your never know With my memory I might have to make a trip home again (smiley thing here)

You have to preview your post Filo and then there are a range of emojis that come up. Just make sure that they are at the end of the post not the beginning.
It took me ages to work out that emojosi tagged on with my keyboard disappeared when posting.

Season Ticket collections are being ran from the Club Doncaster Academy Reception (North Stand, Opposite the 5-a-side pitches) tonight (3rd August) and Thursday (5th August) between 5pm-8pm to allow those who can’t get to the ticket office during normal hours the ability to collect before the day of the game.

Bizarre tech question - is it possible to take a photo of the barcode on season ticket on mobile phone and then scan this.

Barnsley have been using the credit card style ST for about 4 years , this season they have gone one step further by adding a QR option on your Mobile Phone .

Bizarre tech question - is it possible to take a photo of the barcode on season ticket on mobile phone and then scan this.
Depends - technically yes, but it depends on the scanners at the ground being capable of scanning a barcode on a screen. Not all are.

Maybe some can try it on Saturday and let us know the results

Would that not allow 2 people to use the same barcode?

The system would know though.

the system you would hope would log how many times it is used , but they printed mine yesterday while I waited only took 3 minutes and it's not like a bank card that has a chip in them
-
I’ve used both a plastic card one and an e ticket on my phone and there is a difference and system can tell
-
The gate person who scans the ticket or card will be able to tell.
I expected there to be a barcode reader at the turnstile but it was a lady with a hand held device.
Anyone thinking of scamming the system should think again!
-
Once the bar code for a game has been scanned it can't be used again. Single use code for a specific game.
-
What's also to stop adults buying under 25 season tickets?
-
It. will be down to the turnstile operator to check them.
-
I noticed in the friendlies after the ticket was scanned they checked something on a small screen before the turnstile was opened. Presumably part of a ticket check
-
It. will be down to the turnstile operator to check them.
Hasn’t that always been the case with season ticket books anyway?
-
Seeing as I only look about 37, I might have a problem with the turnstile operator doubting the validity of my senior card.
BB and Wolfie obviously won't have the same problem.
-
I can vouch for that, SS. I remember walking through the turnstile once and the gateman said "about 55?" I said, "Aye, that'll do!" He said, "I meant you were born about 1955!"
Then Wolfie walked in and the gateman said "about 50?" Wolfie said, "Aye, that'll do!" He said, "I meant you were born about 1950!"
Then Scawsby Steve walked in and the gateman said "about 37?"..........
