Season Ticket prices frozen ...official

How many more "bumps in the road" is this going to camouflage? Not complaining though!
 
Good decision to bring the prices of the “budget” tickets down, we were getting pricey at that end and were losing lower income fans judging by the gaps in the east stand. We have enough empty seats to not exclude anyone, plus we are Oxford United not sodding Arsenal, a club for the people of Oxfordshire not a club for bankers, tourists etc.
 
Sadly I am not sure I will renew, I gave my ticket away at least 8 times this season as I have other obligations on many Saturday afternoons

That’s a shame to hear. Hope you’ll still make games and possibly renew again at some point.

Personally, I’ll be renewing again in the East Stand and with a slight saving. Which was nice.
 
can't really knock £13 a game for east stand. that's good value. just need to get a monthly plan sorted now as can see that being a big factor in some people's decision to renew/buy again

The monthly payment plan is huge and will definitely affect the sales. I assume the club are working hard on a solution, but they definitely need an option for it when the STs go on sale.
 
im a little suprised clubs dont self fund this, i know they normally rely on upfront monies during the close season, but surely if they had a set of supporters directly paying £x a month thats guarenteed income for the season to help cover ongoing costs etc...

I don't think it's a question of funding it - the clubs apparently don't get the money for the finance scheme sales in one hit anyway. I would imagine it is the being a registered lender bit.

I know it won't be for everybody for various reasons but would opening a 0% Credit Card and pay it off over the term of the deal, be an option if the club can't do a monthly plan?

I appreciate some won't be able to due to credit ratings or won't want one at all due to the temptation for further spending but it would seem an option for some.
 
It is the only time of the year when supporters have real leverage. Supporters should be lobbied at the next home games NOT to buy yet, until the veil of secrecy is lifted and we have a transparent, credible, open QandA between Tiger (not his proxy) and the fans and no stones are left unturned. Then we can decide whether we want to risk paying for games in advance. If we go bust half way through next season, there are no ST refunds. We at least need to hear from the horses mouth that it isn't going to happen.
 
I noticed buying a Shrewsbury ticket online there is now an option to donate to Oxford United in The Community at the same time as buying the match ticket.

Perhaps East Stand ST holders whose price has gone down £31 might consider donating to OUITC?

It'd been as positive if an option existed to donate to OXVOX, which in turn would see the individual get a membership with the Supporters Trust.

Something that has been asked and knocked back for years when having Season Ticket consultation.
 
Due to personal reasons, I've missed loads of games this season and I was pretty certain I wouldn't be renewing for the first time since I first got a season ticket over 20 years ago. The fact the club have decided to actually reduce my ticket price, means I'm reconsidering. Even if I miss games again next season, I don't like the thought of not backing the club.

I'd love to see what would happen if supporters paid late each month on this basis, it can be tricky moving money around you know ;)

I thought they were sat on a pot of money already?
 
Barnsley have hooked up with a company called V12 to offer finance on their St's with 0% interest. It sounds like the club are taking the hit on fees though -
