Not really, but still time yet

This gives Stanley a profit of £10 on every ST sold before August and £45 per month isn't such a hardship for most folk. Most of the bigger clubs can do it, granted their ST prices are, in some cases, a hell of a lot bigger than ours, but I know a club like Wigan Athletic offer this option and if you default, you do not get in.

That's a very good offer and anyone likely to go to more than 12 games this sesason would be daft not to get one given the match day price. I did look at the fixture list and work out if it was worth my while but unfortunately not. If I lived nearer Accy I would like to say I would have took it up but if I did live nearer Accy I would have had the earlybird one

I would say though that the club would have been better pushing the flexi tickets earlier in the summer especially for us out of towners as it makes a big difference during the season if the tickets are already bought for the game. I know the priority is to sell season tickets and rightly so but some recognition that travelling Accy fans won't make enough games for them to be viable would be appreciated. Early Bird flexitickets would be good as they can be paid for during the close season when, in theory, there is spare cash that would normally be spent at games anyway. It's easy to say budget for when they become available but wives and grandchildren usually find uses for spare money lying around unused

It's good to see the club looked at the idea about the season ticket installments and went with it hopefully regulars without season tickets already will respond now they have another chance.

Good offer on the flexi tickets now as well, got to hand it to the club for listening to fans & doing their best to suit as many as possible

VALAIRIAN · 17-07-2014, 20:57

Really hope that this is a success

Special Flexi Ticket Offer - Accrington Stanley FC

Chewbacca · 19-07-2014, 18:47

Most big clubs have been using credit card style season tickets or at least bar code tickets for a while now, some over 10 years, so it is easy to cancel a season ticket paid for in instalments.

I suppose Stanley would not have to issue all the tickets at once, if the season ticket is really 23 match tickets (like last season) and not a voucher book.

Blackburn have posters up advertising adult tickets from £249, granted it is only the Riverside, but their cheapest adult walk on is £12 for some games. With Burnley in the premier league there will be stiff competition for casual football fans.

QUESTION

Will the flexi ticket be available all day on wednesday or only an hour or so before the game?

VALAIRIAN · 22-07-2014, 17:40

ANSWER

From lunchtime Wednesday and all day Saturday

Shillelagh made a point about their brother not paying £20 a game for 4 or 5 games a season and taking others. Would he buy a flexiticket to do the same thing for £13.50 each time if he knew that he could especially if it could be done online?

As per other thread

1 supporter going to 10 games, 10 supporters going to 1 games, or whatever suits

I picked mine up today around 1.30pm, I was the 3rd one they had sold.
Presume they will shift alot more around game time tonight and on Saturday.

A few questions -
why doesnt the booklet/tickets include the season date - eg 2014/15?
To use them, do I have to go to reception before each game and exchange for a match ticket or can I hand it over on the gate?

andyd · 25-07-2014, 16:22

Val any updates on how many season/flexy tickets sold.

VALAIRIAN · 25-07-2014, 17:14

Not sure on flexis and around 500 season tickets

Expecting a bit of a flurry on S.T.'s over next few weeks

Not dated as minimum quantities had to be ordered

Yes call to the ticket office on the day of the game and they'll exchange a voucher for a match ticket for that day (league games only)
