Refunds

The loss of earnings from not holding more home games this season is approximately £200-300k. We will not need to sell players to cover that!!

How many early bird season tickets do you reckon we will sell?

These normally go on sale during May and June, so the situation should become much clearer by then. But as @ZeroTheHero has said, I think many will continue to buy season tickets to support the club through this period.
 
Don't know but (in the interest of supporting the club through however long) I'd get one.
I’d consider it as a way of subbing the club a bit. Paying for games I can’t attend rather than buying merchandise I’ll never wear.
 
Unfortunately I think that, even though a lot would like to do that, most won’t be in a financial situation to gamble spending that amount of money on something that might not happen.
I'm not saying that anyone SHOULD do that - that's obviously completely down to each individual. Just saying I would do it - if the club should not survive this I will have lost something far more important to me than £300, so if buying a season ticket early would in any way make that less likely I'd do it.
 
Luckily I hadn't booked up for Rochdale on the train. I haven't decided yet on the Wycombe ticket if the game is rearranged or cancelled.

I am wondering what to do about my gym/swim membership at the sports park as I am not going there but still paying every month and it's part of Surrey Uni so not like a small business that I feel I need to support.
 
I would quite happily let the club keep the money for our two tickets for the Franchise game, whether it's ever played or not.
 
Of the money we have paid in advance for match tickets or season tickets 20% of it goes to the government as VAT.

So I'm thinking that there must be a way where the club refunds us all the money we are owed back (and so claim the VAT back from the government that they have already paid to them) and we give it straight back to the club in some way so that the government can't grab 20% of it and so the club keeps it all. Donation of some kind?
 
My take is that if your financial situation is so bad you are demanding a refund then maybe you shouldn't have been spending that money on a football match in the first place. So I'm not having that by not getting a refund people could be in financial dire straights. In any case i'm sure the club will offer refunds for those not able to attend the new date (if there is one) but blimey the decision was only made on Friday, give them chance to at least have a discussion about it before bombarding the them with phone calls.

Think you‘re missing the point. When people originally purchased a ticket their financial situation was probably very different to what is now unraveling very quickly before their eyes. People are losing jobs.

People also panic, it’s human nature. Basic logic and reasoning go out of the window and we can become very selfish (look at the supermarkets).

We are in unprecedented times and the likelihood is that 2020 will become the year where everything and anything was written off and lives and business will face ruin. It will take years to come back from this.

In the whole cosmic scheme of things getting a few quid back on a ticket is nigh on irrelevant, but it is how the mind works.

My season ticket is written off as far as I am concerned. I think I will have far more things to worry about in a few months.

This goes to show how very fragile the world we live in really is and that the economy is built on a house of cards.

Inevitably, I would expect there to come a point where the world just has to get back to functioning or otherwise face total ruin, the trade off I am afraid will be re-socialising at the risk of many people dying.
 
Got an iFollow refund no problem. Turns out they’ve been very understanding about this

I think some fans situation may have changed significantly since last May/June, especially under the current situation. They may have set-up the monthly payment solution too, so it might be a needs must status.

I agree but my comment was referring more to one off games like MK Dons and Wycombe
 
I'm guessing as soon as the rest of the season is written off and there are some office staff in to actually sort it out? They are all furloughed at the moment.
 
It Wimbledon, and part of their statement in which they ask people not to claim money back reads:

“Naturally, we entirely understand that some of you have suffered considerable financial hardship and, of course, we will fully respect your right to a refund should you fall into that category.”

Nope. People have a 'right to a refund' whatever their situation and if asked Wimbledon will have to respect that. Whether those supporters who don't *need* the money would actually ask for one is a different matter .
 
Any idea when any form of refund for the Wycombe game will be sorted?

The clubs have differing views on how much the refund should be.

Wycombe are saying it should be the cost of the ticket but there are others who think it should also factor in the weight of postage.

The weighted option would certainly compensate more accurately for us [emoji6]
