Unfortunately they can. You only had until April 3rd to `claim` your seat - after that it was open for sale to anyone who wanted to take advantage of the early bird prices.

Ah ok, Kay was very helpful last year when we got issued wrong season tickets etc. I'm sure the new staff just as good, any problem I've had always been sorted quickly and proffesinally.

BigAl&Toby Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Just ******* buy one. You know you want to I'm one of Lansdown's least favourite supporters but I'm ****** if I'm going to let him ruin my 40 years of supporting MY club. Highs and lows, home and away and even a plaque on the Atyeo statue declaring my love for my kids. We're moving from family stand to South Stand next season. Season tickets bought. If Brighton can do it so can we. Even with LJ and Lansdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, hate to say this was the original date, next cut off is Friday. Interesting when I click on where my seat is it shows two prices. Dolman wing shows as £401 and £421, maybe second price is the increase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS4 on Tour... Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 It looks like the usual online shambles....just logged in to look at renewing but it's saying the block in which I have my current ST in the Lansdown Stand is pretty much sold out with STs when it's been far from full all season and the price before Friday suddenly looks like it's £24 more than last season?!

JoeAman08 Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Quite sure they went up about 40 quid per seat after the deadline if I am remembering correctly last year. So less than 2 quid more per game. Guess it's up to individuals really if that's enough of an increase to renew now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted April 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 I think the wording and the timing may have confused some. The date to renew your seat ran out on April 3rd. Where the confusion may come in is saying secure your seat, which sounds like you keep the one you have. Also there was no early bird offer , the price was the price, renewal or new ST. Now whether they put up the prices when the next deadline passes is anyones guess. To be honest I think it's been a bit of a cock up from the get-go. Timing of going on sale , the lack of offers, definitely the non mention of a discount should we get relegated . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kay was great, one of the best they've ever had down there. Surely it would of made sense to have the deadline as the last day of the month being as most people get paid then and not the week before when everyone is skint but then common sense and BCFC customer support don't go hand in hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At no point was the encouragement to buy anything other than a negative experience. A positive would have been 'now is the cheapest time to buy' - which might have encouraged a few. The negative reality of the situation was 'buy now or lose your seat.... possibly.' As previously discussed. Or definitely in some cases!!

Bar BS3 Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 It was all made pretty clear what the deadlines were for keeping existing seats. People are clearly just trying to create problems here. If you didn't renew before because we might go down, then fine, that's your choice. It was clearly communicated that your existing seats were held for you until 3rd of April though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying it was good just that the lose your seat date was publicised, renewal dates have been coming forward gradually in recent years, probably looking to move money from one financial period into another or something. I've been going since 1966 and have watched them prop up all 4 divisions, didn't expect them to bend the rules for me so I renewed and kept my seat.

Guest Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 All the comms were clear: renew by the 3rd or lose your current seat. This was reinforced numerous times by posters on this forum. It appears that some on here have cut their noses off to spite their face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abraham Romanovich Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 I have delayed renewing as long as possible in order to make the Club aware of my feeliings on the monumental cock up that has been this season. I accept it is a completely futile gesture but it is the only way I can express my disatisfaction . I have renewed albeit rather grudgingly but still feel it would have been fairer to to extend the deadline until we know with certainty which division we are playing in. This season is far from over, a bad result against Barnsley and other results go against us will see us back in the mire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairer to who, you? That discount is only for people who commit to the club early not for the undecided. Seems like 65% of last years tickets have been taken up already and the other 35% want to wait and see what division we are in. That's fine but don't expect the same discount and why should they! Its simple if you want the best price season ticket you commit before April 3rd then put Back to 21st April . That's more than fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I can't agree at all, how on earth can it be fair to expect someone to fork out with no knowledge of whether you will be watching Sundeland ,Villa or Oldham, Rochdale the club seem to have buried their collective heads in the sand on this one.

Having said that, if people haven't renewed by now, they are unlikely to renew should the unthinkable happen. PS - I have also rather grudgingly renewed as I feel there is a good chance it will be Championship football next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
