Do you think that they are holding off announcing the season ticket renewal prices until after the season so that they don't get any stick at the final home fixtures?

Maybe waiting to see what “our equivalents" are charging?

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

I dropped from around 8000 in the ST waiting list to 4000, which says a lot i think.

Oh and as it stands i wouldn't get one either.

For a number of varying reasons:

Cost, the way they change the fixtures around, how easy it is to see every game on TV now, the time it takes (for a 3pm game, i leave Worcester at 11.30, and i'm home 6.30-7), it's just not as attractive as it used to be. Despite us being as good as we've ever been.

And then lie to us about what they charge in comparison!

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Just thinking about the membership costs:

It was £25 two years ago i think? £35 quid last season and now £41 this season!?

That's a 60% price rise!

And you don't actually get any tickets for that, it just gives you the ability to buy tickets, if you manage to go to say 5-10 games over a season, that's either a £4 or £2 cost you can effectively add to each game you go to!

You get some socks though and those who got the little wallet for their card deserve this year on year rise...

Oh yes that's right, and those tiny "gifts" wind a few people up, so it's definitely worth it.....

 

[Tony Towner]

The notion of paying something to just give you an option to buy something else is immoral. Charge the £41, but at least give a free game with it against a less attractive side

100%, a bitter tax if you will

I'm with TT, paying a fee to potentially be able to get something is bollocks. Chuck in a League Cup game or something.

Do you get anything like free entry to U23 games with a Membership or is that just STH?

 

[Sniffer]

You get the ticket cash which reduces the price on other purchases.

Can you use it on match tickets? IE if you go to 10 games you get your membership fee back

Yes

Yeah you can use ticket cash for match tickets so we probably get our membership money back on our 6-10 games we get to. But the rise does boil my piss, its fucking outrageous, at least make it inflation rate.

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

Hmm, £75 + postage, I will have been to 4 matches this season. Hardly worth it.

Rather ominously the U11s is the same price as the over 12s. My eldest is already going to cost me more, I hadn't banked on my youngest also costing more. Really hope they don't do that.

The £3 P&P excuse of Covid is frankly incredible.

 

[Kenny]

Are the ticket office staff still working from home?

 

[Kenny]

Just to add, club won't make money on the postage. Probably should incorporate it into the price but that's another matter.

 

[sycophantia]

The playing staff might as well have been last few games.

 

[Law's Bus]

If they effectively turned it into an U21 and Wolves Women ST for a similar price (along with the priority ticketing), which would cost the club basically nothing to do; then at least folk would feel like they actually got something for their money, and a few more people might sign up.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

I always received my membership stuff via the post in the past anyway, and there wasn't a fee for that. So this yeah to add that, and say it's because of Covid is just bollocks. It was 35 quid inclusive of P&P, now it's £41 inclusive of it.

 

[The Bear]

I'm probably not going to renew my membership. I can get tickets in the few days in the run up to the game no problem.

They have reduced the cost of renewing for current members by £3. The cost of the P&P..... £3. Fuck off.

I'll lose out on the Wolves Cash but I probably don't go enough to make it back on a free ticket.
