GTFABM Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 Probably not an easy answer but has anyone read through the T’s and C’s of your season ticket to have an idea if season is cancelled if there will be a refund for remaining games? Apologies if it’s already in the Coronavirus thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOTBLUE Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 Well if they do cancel the season, I would want any refund that is due,if due, to go to charity,I’ve already paid for it so wouldn’t miss the money. Children’s Hospice or Hospital would do nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 My guess is that for now the season has been postponed so there will be no refunds. The games will eventually take place. If the season is cancelled, I'm fairly sure that there will be no refunds either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah agree it’s premature and i hope the season gets finished especially with the euros being postponed. Just didn’t know if it said anything in the small print. Clearly not the clubs fault so harsh for them to lose a massive amountbof money if they had to refund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very valid point, and this would be a great gesture from our club "IF" the season gets cancelled, I wonder if other clubs that really rely on this income, whether they will ask supporters to let them keep the money to help them survive?

marmite Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 The uncertainty of this situation makes an immediate decision unlikely. I know we would all like our money back but no one knows how long this will go on. Until the EFL make a decision on this season, City have to just wait. There may not be any more games this season or even next season if it escalates too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe there would be anything in the T&C's about a league not being completed A pandemic was certainly not expected to hit the whole world, I guess the only similar event could have been a world war Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we cancelled we would be expected to pay in full still so wasn’t sure if there was something the other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOTBLUE Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 I think we have about 14000 or 15000 season ticket holders,at say an average of say £50,that’s about £700,000,WOW,what a difference that would make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve never seen the split of age group and free tickets. I’m only guessing that there is a decent proportion of free and u12/u19 cheaper Season Cards....but you’re talking 20% of games missed if no more home games (5/23).

Sorry guys, not clear from me. I requested SLO to seek a total refund for those who have already paid for NEXT season's tickets who may suffer financial difficulties in the future due to loss of earnings.

sephjnr Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 As the Euros are now confirmed off for this year then depending if the worst of this is over in May we may have enough room to see out 5-8 games, even with summer hols truncated.

I’ve tried to average it out Davefevs,my ticket works out at roughly £15 a game in the South stand,5 games left equals £75.With the other stand being more expensive ,who knows,all I do know is it would be a considerable sum of money.

I would go higher than that OK these are next seasons figures, but on these prices the 'mean' average figure on adult tickets is £20 We have 5 home games left so would be double what you used - nearer £100 a person Obviously this seasons prices are slightly less and this doesn't factor in all the concessionary tickets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread is talking about refunds on THIS seasons season ticket IF the season is cancelled Something different to the question that you raised. I fully understand your question, I assume those that have paid upfront will have already had their transactions completed? Getting a refund on this money would be down to some kind of Government ruling I would imagine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAl&Toby Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 How about this for all those who pay by monthly direct debit and pay £25 to do so. Cancel the direct debit and see if Mr L comes a calling......... Might well give it a go myself. Imagine that conversation with some poor soul from Bristol Sport.....

Half claiming refund on avg of £500 think comes to £3.5 million. Big bucks to us but not to everyone. I'm sure any recipient of a refund will purchase a ST when/if next season comes around.

Guest Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 My guess would be that this season will be completed, whether it's in front of fans or not, that's the question. I also suspect that it will be a condensed finish where two games are played per week. As to refunds, I can see a 'credit' being issued and that can be used to buy City merchandise, beer tokens etc. i.e. the business still keeps it but fans feel that they've got something back.
