Surely, as Dav007 says, the real selling point of the flexi was the ability to use more than one of the credits at the same game, enabling you to drag a mate along at short notice for no instant financial pain?

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

That was another good thing about it. Plus any unused at the end of the season can be a free ticket for someone else unlike a season ticket.

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

The argument is academic though because it doesn't fit the master plan.[/QUOTE]

the master plan is trying to sell more season tickets than last year. simples.

will be getting mine also. doesn,t mean I agree with whats happening at the club just trying to put it at the back of my mind and concentrating on promotion. not easy as I,ve heard it all before.

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

It seems a shame that last years offer of pay half now and the rest by the collection date has been with drawn :( I have to pay for my self and my son that's £348 ish to save up over a sort period of time. Could I ask Rob or Mark to look in to why that great way to pay has been with drawn and possible post some kind of reply on here or the official site...

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

I've never understood the logistics of paying for a season ticket. Pay a depisit, rest by collection date. Is that too simple?

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

Whilst I can understand that logic for 'standard' priced season tickets, surely the club is entitled to something in return for the 'early bird' prices being cheaper eg. payment up front? The idea of a 'promotion' is usually to ge people to part with money there and then, in return for a better price (win/win situation?). Otherwise there is little point having the early bird offer.

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

For those who think Stanley's ticket arrangements and pricing are putting fans off, I'd suggest you check out Yeovil's. A labyrinth of hidden charges lurking behind a basic rip off walk-up price.

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

The clubs needs the money early to plan the season.

The April deadline is pretty standard, and 12 months since the last one, but it seems some Stanley fans money management is similar to the clubs only having a few weeks to find the money :)

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

It would be better if you could pay the season tickets in 2 parts, Although we all knew the price would probably roughly be the same price as this seasons and knew there would be an early bird, It's not as though season tickets are a new idea!

Maybe the club, now we're financially stable, could let fans start paying x amount every month during the season or starting from the January, as soon as you start paying in you can't be refunded any money paid already...Surely not too much paperwork for the club and if it helps people afford a season ticket then a win win situation!

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

I think it's 9 monthly payments at Deadwood and you could have done 12 monthly payments at Burnley. Mind you they do have a few more staff to handle it :)

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

Was cut off in my prime before finishing the previous post. The Burnley scheme is run by a finance company, not sure what happens if somebody misses the payments. Could also be that the money isn't paid to the club until the payments are finished, so that wouldn't be good for Stanley

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

Is it Zebra Finance or something like that. I think it's like a loan so the club get the money and you would be hounded if you didn't pay.

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

Some clubs do instalments on Direct Debit, interest free as the base rate is so low it hardly matters. The problem is you can't deactivate Stanley season tickets if someone stops paying.

However with the new regime the capital outlay needed may be possible, hence the move already to ticket only. If we did move to a card system then 'cup schemes' would be possible also via DC/CC but DD could not be used.

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

What you implying :mad: So you mean because I've asked why this option has been withdrawn you automatically think the worst of someone ,you don't no what I can or can not afford! If the option to pay in two parts is there why not use the option.

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

I did not quote you did I? The short payment time was raised before your previous post. Thank you for the abuse, please think next time.

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

It was last time I had my season ticket but the forms for this year don't make it clear. There is no fee which suggest the club are handling it, otherwise they would have to commision to the finance company. Still considering it :)

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

I would think they should but given the post elsewhere about them not being paying customers for under 12s I would guess not. Happy to be wrong though

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

3 home games since this. Average attendance now stands at 1565, slowly creeping up. No negative effect from the cashless turnstiles it seems. Improvement on last seasons average - 1478.

Anyone actually bought a season ticket yet? I'm waiting for payday this month.

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

Over a 1000 way fans in the last 2 games helps

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

Paid for mine yesterday

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

Ditto!

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

yeup paid for mine too, disappointed that still the only way to pay is cheque or cash

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

I recall Chrisr (may have been someone else) explained ( a long long time ago ) that the credit card companies/banks withhold payment to Stanley "in case the club goes bust" during the coming season and, presumably, they would have to compensate season ticket holders.
Given that the 'early bird' concessions are designed to bring in money when there is otherwise less opportunity for the club to generate income, it's understandable, if this is true, that the club don't use credit card payments.

But I'm not at all sure if that's how credit card companies/banks do operate, or whether it's just how they treat all or certain football clubs.

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

What i cant get me head round, does a debit card payment not go out right away?:confused:

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

That's what I don't get either & it'd be easier for most to pay by debit card rather than trailing up to the club with a wad of cash, I'm also a little disappointed that the two part payment idea brought in last season isn't being used this time - no doubt there's a reason for it but I think there would possibly have been more early bird takers if it was an option.
Not moaning, & will be renewing mine - was just easier last year to split the cost

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

Well no-ones bothered to explain from the club,why a debit cards a no-no.:rolleyes:

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

Cashy, Daine and all; it's good question re debit cards; BUT the banks treat them the same as credit cards. We have asked after monies were previuosly "held back".

Last time we enquired they wanted an £80k deposit to allow us to use this facility. We don't take £80k after the VAT is accounted for.
I know Andy's people we lookling into it; but without any joy.

Those club's that do have this option take out expensive insurance policies.

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

Cheers fer the answer, woulda been worth explaining it on the fishy though imho.

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

The above is correct. Banks would be responsible for refunding payments if the club go bust for credit card and visa payments. Given the perilous state that the club has been in previously there is no way banks would touch us with a barge pole. The same happened with Rangers after their troubles.

It is different for individual games as payment can be released once the game is played but we still don't take online payments however there could be another reason for that.

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

can fans order membership cards for next season now?

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

Yes, the application forms are on the club shop counter

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

Just a reminder, Early bird season ticket offer runs out a week on Monday (1st May)

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

Andy Holt has just put on Twitter anyone wanting to pay on card to contact him and he will process it through his office who will then give Stanley the money!

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

Thats a good idea if someone needs to use a card.:) Andy Holt seems to be doing a sterling job.

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

Best thing that has EVER happened to the club IMO.

A quite superb bloke to have at the helm.

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

Cant argue wi that Smudge. sorry.:D

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

What are the club opening times for sales? It says 10am - 4pm normally on the website, but you would expect the club to be pushing for sales and opening longer. Will there be anywhere open on Saturday to sell them?

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

Will there be anybody left in Accrington to buy a ticket on Saturday ?

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

Will there be anybody left in Accrington to sell a ticket on Saturday? :)

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

If any one at the club can confirm opening times this week it would be helpful. Thanks.

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

Bump. Nothing on the site bar a postal address, not good for cash.

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

:) Usually 10am to 4pm Chewbacca . on wk days

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

Just been up to the club for Wycombe tickets, we've sold all our allocation so far & hopefully receiving some more tomorrow, Sue did say to ring first to.make sure they've arrived & that if they have there's only tomorrow to buy them as the money etc has to be taken to Wycombe on Friday. Can't get back before 4 tomorrow but Sue says they'll be open till 5.
There's also the option of ringing Wycombe to reserve them or paying on the day which will be couple of quid more - might as well have done that as it cost me more in bus fare to get to the club today! Note to self - ring up first to save a wasted journey:(

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

Thats the beauty of being n owd fart Di, got a bus pass fer such stuff.:D but never mind the Tory scum will have done away wi em,by the time you get there.:D

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

And I'm calm again :) - quick 2 minute phone call to Wycombe & tickets sorted, no problem & saves me worrying whether I can get up to the club in time after work tomorrow.
Coach booked - tick; fancy dress sorted - tick; & tickets - check! Just butties to put up Friday night & will be ready for the off - excited already!! :dancedog::D

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

Wont be at Wycombe on Saturday :(
BUT
somebody has to stay home and join in Dan's excellent, nail biting match
coverage on the fishy site! :)

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

join the club sherry, i had booked a gig for me n the missus long ago, so never expected this game to be this crucial.:eek:

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

:eek: That makes 3 of us up to press :( I'm working Saturday night and wouldn't get back in time :(

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

Feel.for those who can't make it to Wycombe - but don't worry, if you can get yourselves to the Crown for when we get back we'll bring the party to you :)

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

Reception at The Club will be open tomorrow between 10am and 12pm if anyone who isn't going to Wycombe and wants to get a Early Bird season ticket!

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

Been asked to make it clear, the season ticket being extended until Tuesday was on the condition that you left a filled in season ticket application form behind the bar at The Crown yesterday!

Sorry if that's led to confusion.

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

That's me missing out then, I filled in the form & put it in my bag yesterday to bring with me - trouble is it's still in my bag as forgot to leave it - my own fault :(

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

Got mine, just in time. Thanks to Stephanie for volunteering to do the shift while everyone else was away!!

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

Think someone 'higher up' may have a bit of common sense over this?
After all, it won't actually cost the club anything!

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

Common sense?:rofl38::rofl38::rofl38::rofl38::rofl38::rof l38:

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

People have had plenty of time to purchase an Early Bird season ticket?...

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

I know - like I said, totally my fault :(

Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
 

Expect that from you.:rolleyes: obviously was an accident she forgot with the excitement of the day.
