Tyrant Posted August 13, 2010 Report Posted August 13, 2010 The following has been split from another thread: On 13/08/2010 at 10:22, tom_widdows said: Or if you look at it another way if you go to 18 home games its AFC down £126 Are you saying you wouldnt go to any games if you didnt buy a season ticket? If you went to just 9 as a full paying adult the club would be up £198 No because you'd have to be a fucking retard to not buy a season ticket and then pay to get into all the games. If I didn't buy a season ticket I would perhaps attend one or two at the most. Most games towards the end of last season felt like a chore to attend so there's no danger that I'd pay at the gate for that. My getting a student season ticket is the best way for AFC to get my money. Quote

Goldie03 Posted August 13, 2010 Report Posted August 13, 2010 If you are not a fucking student you shouldn't be getting a fucking student season ticket - why the fuck should I pay the full price when I go to games then Quote

Whatever way those in employment then try to justify it, .. i.e AFC getting some money instead of none etc which implies you wouldn't go AT ALL if didn't get student ST is a fucking joke. It is also fraud. Quote
Slim Posted August 17, 2010 Report Posted August 17, 2010 I had a student season ticket for 6 years after leaving full time education thanks to a handy loophole I took advantage of. If I was unable to do that, I would've paid for a full price adult one. Quote

Slim Posted August 17, 2010 Report Posted August 17, 2010 Loophole's probably not the word I was looking for, but if you're studying for professional accountancy exams, you can apply for an NUS Associate Card even though you're not in full time (or even part time) education for a cost of £10/year. To be fair to the club, there's not really any way of them knowing. Quote

If they gave out more discounts to the general public (unemployed, less than 20,000 a year, public sector etc) they'd take more money I think. I do also think that current and future private practice GPs etc should pay a massive price hike to cover any shortfall Quote

It is also fraud. Speaking for myself, I would go far less often. As far as unused ST's are concerned, would you prefer an ST went unused than someone else taking the seat? Similarly fraudulent.

They do that at Murrayfield too. It's an absolute nightmare, last time I had to do it the student queue took about half an hour while all my mates got through straight away. I blame whoever brought this up for the change. Quote
