Early Bird Season Tickets

[Rene Artois]

Prem, EFL & NL should introduce a ruling where clubs are only permitted to sell tickets from the start of the new season… I.e. 1st July.
These EBSTs are effectively just pay day loans to get clubs through the end of the season / summer.
Needs ending.
Either you’re a viable business or you are not.
Wickes don’t ask me for money up front this year for a kitchen refurb I’m going to do in Jan 2026.
It’s comical, bad management and incompetent.

That aside, freezing prices when the cost of everything else is going up is admirable and deserves more credit.

We aren’t a viable business Rene or have you forgot? The board have acted quickly to get some early PR in after the crap show of the last few days while showing some solidarity at least to our struggling steel workers. If you don’t want to hand them a bit of slack because of recent events that’s your choice but personally we need to help our football club survive and any attempt to forge a bit of unity and get some early cash into the coffers is fine by me.

Years ago Hull brought in their membership scheme where you had to pay monthly by direct debit. I’ve always preferred paying in cash up front, they eventually listened and gave us the option of paying in full again. I again pay (actually Mrs Two buys me it for Christmas, the rotter) up front again.

No one’s holding a gun to your head
If you don’t want to buy them early and help the club out, don’t
