Wilksi Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 I'm not sure if this has been asked/covered elsewhere but I cant see an obvious answer. At this moment in time I'm not going to renew my seats. But I was looking online at prices and positions etc. and wanted to ask a question. "IF" I wanted to renew then move seats, I have to pay the full amount up front and get a rebate later? Is this right? Once done I only have 8 hours with the rest of the ground to ring up and move seats? Is this right? How long does the rebate take to come through? I have to pay £25 per ticket for the privilege of this? Is this right? Regardless of the travesty that has already happened this winter/spring with the season ticket fiasico, this seems like a complete fukyou to the fans. Especially if you sit in the areas affected most by this price hike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are after all being invited to renew our own seat at this point and it would be a logistical nightmare to try to move people during a renewal period with the amount of uncertainty. The 8 hour window is very poor. The £25 I know of only for the finance admin charge. It would be an absolute liberty if the club are charging administration for seat movements given they are engineering seat movements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 Last summer, I was able to change the seat of my rugby ST when renewing. It was changed to another seat in South Stand that was not already held by another ST. It may be possible to do this with a City ST but the best way forward for you is to call the ticket office and ask them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Red Hat Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 I'm going to be 65 at the beginning of August and I've just found out I won't be eligible for the over 65 SC concession, even though i'll be 65 for the whole season! The club really are going hard for first prize in the Foot Shooting contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilksi Posted March 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 Right.. Just spoke to the club. They are now saying you can renew and move seats at the same time if you do it over the phone now. No need to wait until the deadline. That is better.

You can move to a seat not occupied by a season ticket holder now. However, if you want one of the prime seats currently occupied by the 5,000 ST holders who have announced on here they are not renewing, you need to wait until March 29...whereupon you may well find they had a change of heart and quietly renewed anyway. At least that is what I am hoping so we have another fantastic level of support for the team despite the huge cock up in pricing strategy by the club. COYR.

They have a cut off date which will be good for some and not for others, but it is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoons Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 I've ' renewed' but moved. Gone from central dolman to W2 upper lansdown. No extra cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow&Blue&Red Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 Would someone go through this slowly for me! I have seats in the Lansdown which are now more expensive than I want to spend. Ideally I'd move us to good seats in the Dolman wing which are a couple of categories cheaper. So I think I need to wait until the period where season tickets are reserved for their existing holder to see what's available. If nothing good is available though, I'm willing to suck up the price hike and stay where we are... And I don't want to risk losing those seats until I've made up my mind! What should I do? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! I’m pretty sure you can buy any seats that aren’t currently reserved by existing season ticket holders. So, if you look at what’s available in your preferred location, you just buy those.

Thank you! You can do it now.......if you can find any seats that suit. Quite a few decent seats in the Dolman wings should become available on moving day.
