.... and make us a vow now that will really be worth something to us !

Follow Bolton, Blackburn and Wigans lead , tell us now that there will be a decrease in season ticket prices should we achieve promotion or not !

That will do more for season ticket sales than any of your promises of big name players and ten million pound strikers (weve heard it all before) will ever do !

I for one (along with my family) am without a season ticket for the first time in a decade, but i know for a fact a vow of a decent discount at this point, would result in my renewing now if need be, regardless of the division we are in !

I think the move to reduce pricing is getting enough momentum as to be at the point of no return. I do believe it has to be actions and soon, by all big clubs, Prem & Champ at least. Murdoch, and his Sky operation, should do his part as well.

I do understand your position but 2 things, the season ticket prices stayed the same this year and we havent a bigg enough ground to reduce tix prices dramasticlly as we need the revenue generated to be able to afford players wages, so if you are happy having a cheaper season ticket but not so good players as we cannot afford their wages then thats fine, but I would like to see oneday before I die, blues competing in europe !

I'd be happy, if we go up this season of course to see 11 players on that pitch giving there all for Birmingham City Football Club like what was happening in the first 2 seasons in the Premiership, then all the 'been there done that im here for money players' came in and now look where we are.
Thats all I want, if we go up we will lose more games than we win. so I want players that will give 100% and fly into tackles and run for the whole 90 minutes.

Buy young players that want to prove themselves at a higher level and will give there all for the club with a couple of older, more experienced players.

Thats for those who bought them, and IF we go up.

Those who didn't, i would have thought, will not have the benefit of any discount or price reduction next year. As many people who bought them this season, did so knowing of a 20% discount off next years Prem prices.

The club cannot do the dirty on season ticket holders. So expect a simialr price to this seasons full prices.

Some might say that for those that did not buy season tickets, part of the decision was influenced by the fact they'd wait a year till we're back in the premiership (hopefully).

Therefore those of us who didn't abandon the club are entitled to our 20% discount.

But does the 20% discount also apply to those who bought a half year season ticket or only the ones that renuwed at the begining of the season?

I believe it is for us supporters who stuck by them, & renewed straight away. It's us that deserve the 20% discount. :Blues:

Blues purchased some good experienced players, well at least they were good experienced players before they came here, its seems funny to me that is was a bit more than bad luck than injuries that made them into bad players.

I think it is only fair that the current FULL ST holders get the 20% discount.
- and I speak as one who has never had a season ticket.

But I would like to see 2 things:
1) A vast reduction in Seat prices, and the 20% reduction on that new LOWER price.
2) No more grading of matches.

If i remember correctly. I sure if i've got it wrong the know'alls will tell you.

The discount was for those who renewed immediately or by a certain deadline.

Also they had to pay the total cost of both seasons tickets, upfront? Correct, anyone????

Its not that i abandoned the blues I just could not afford a full season ticket due to circumstances that I could not control. My support for the club has never wavered. Why do I not deserve the discount.

Why would you deserve one?

Us fans who have opted for a season ticket this year and next year are rightly getting a discount as we have purchased two years worth of season tickets... We are being rewarded rightly for our loyalty this year

...... No sorry you miss understood me, I meant we have brought one and will be buying a second. Everyone who has had a season ticket this year will be intitled to a 20% discount off next years should they chose to buy one next season

Well hopefully I will be getting one next year regardless of what league we're in but i still think that all current season ticket holders should be entitled to the discount.

I think there were two offers, offer one was to purchase your ST for one year and get next years with 20-% off but I thought there was another offer which gave you an even bigger discount if you bougth a two year ST but as I don't know anyone who did that I can't remember the details

1. There is a 20% discount for next season if you purchased a season ticket for this season.
2. There was an additional benefit if you purchased 'up front' (Ie 2 full years) for this season and next season. (I think it was 25% for next season price)
3. Because ticket sales were poor, the club then offered a !0% discount this season but those that took the 10% option would not get the 20% next season.
Therefore, having purchased a ST this season at full price i expect to get a 20% discount next season.
If the price is reduced next season I expect to pay 20% less that the full price.

That sounds about right.

If the club enticed people with these deals they cannot, and should not back out of them. Neither should they offer the same deals, to people who didn't take up the offers.

They made their bed, they should lie in it. Although being as its Blues, i'm expecting them to backtrack on it.

Is it 20% off this season's price or 20% off whatever next season's price turns out to be ?

The way I understood it was, this years price stays as last season, 20% off that price next season, & back to this years price the season after. Therefore no price increase for 3 years. Think thats the way it was written.
