Season ticket question
Season ticket question
I know someone who is getting a season ticket which has been paid for by a friend, but the guy getting it is not able to go on all the matches,
Will the person who paid for it be able to get a refund. Anyone know policy regarding ST refunds?

Re: Season ticket question
I’d contact them but I can’t see you getting a full refund at this stage, not when those on direct debit will have already paid a quarter.
Re: Season ticket question
it was paid for all in one go. not sure that makes any difference though, anyway best to ask ticket office.

Re: Season ticket question
Let me get this right.
Your friend wants to buy a season ticket so that he can gain entry to matches at say £17 per match
instead of £30.
Then for the matches he cannot go he wants the club to refund him?
I think the other posters advising you to ring the Ticket Office are taking the p*ss
as indeed I think you are.
Do me a favour though if you do ring the Ticket Office...can you record their laughter and put it on here as an audio?

Re: Season ticket question
I initially read it as they are no longer able to use the ST so want to return it but rereading it, it does/could read like they want a refund on games they cannot attend2 Bee Holed wrote:Let me get this right.

Re: Season ticket question
I am going to guess here that this new season ticket holder wants to be guaranteed a seat for the 'Big Games'wilks_bfc wrote:I initially read it as they are no longer able to use the ST so want to return it but rereading it, it does/could read like they want a refund on games they cannot attend
but will be trying for a refund against teams like Norwich for example.
I wonder if this new ST holder has thought of giving the ticket to somebody who cannot afford to go?
No, I suspect we will have an empty seat here for the matches against the less fashionable clubs.
Thus depriving someone of going who wants to go.
Oh to be that rich.
Mind, I do have a lot of sympathy for him.....
Re: Season ticket question
If you're asking about a refund for the games he can't go on, then no chance - that's the way season tickets work. Discounted tickets for all games, not just some of them.
If you're asking about a full refund because he doesn't want the ticket, then you've a chance. I don't know what the rules are, and it might well be done on circumstances case-by-case. I got a full refund no questions asked when my Dad dies in July a good few years back; obviously these are very different circumstances.

Re: Season ticket question
A lot of assumptions here... Not sure why the OP has brought in that the ST was paid by another. Any refunds would go straight into the bank who paid it in the first I stance, just like with any other refund.

Re: Season ticket question
If you actually read what the OP says, which in fairness is written in very clear and understandable English, you will see that he is asking whether the purchaser of the season ticket can return and get a refund on said season ticket.2 Bee Holed wrote:Let me get this right.

my friend doesn't want to buy a season ticket - reading the f;g thread properly u twit.
Re: Season ticket question
My reply was on the basis that a refund was required for matches that couldn't be attended, hence my answer being no. If it's for a full refund then as others mention speak with the ticket office.

Re: Season ticket question
I bought a season ticket and I’ve already paid a quarter of it and the process will have been done for a fourth month. If I cancelled I’d have lost a third of the price. So no way are they going to refund someone.

Wow - maybe they’ve changed their minds because of some of our fans !2 Bee Holed wrote:Let me get this right.

I read it as pretty simply - will the person be able to get a refund for their full season ticket

Re: Season ticket question
Ticket Office have confirmed no refunds on full paid season tickets unless exceptional circumstances. That's all i wanted to know.
Can i also clarify the person getting the season ticket in NOT ME. someone else. And it certainly wasn't a case of refunds on individual matches either as someone said earlier.

Re: Season ticket question
I don’t suppose that they will offer refunds, especially if it was purchased in the early bird period as somebody could pay that then decide later taking in to account other factors eg relegation/promotion. If they allow it without exceptional circumstances they are making a rod for their own back if we have a poor and to a season and get unexpectedly relegated.

I read it 1 way and others have read it the other way.

It is ambiguous.
Riley bobs:
I would argue it is not written in clear and simple English.
I'll re-write it so it is not quite as ambiguous:
My friend has bought a season ticket, his circumstances have now changed.
He now cannot attend quite a lot of the matches.
Does anyone know if he can return the season ticket to the ticket office
and get a full refund for the entire cost of the season ticket?

So your “friend” just wants to rock up to the big games and expects the club to refund the others when he can’t be arsed coming up ?

Re: Season ticket question
I know someone who is getting a season ticket which has been paid for by a friend
Mind you, I do find quite a lot of things hard to follow.
I am already beginning to struggle half way through this sentence, the bit in italics above.
My brain had wandered off wondering if this part of the sentence is relevant or not,
or indeed is it the beginning of a riddle?

Re: Season ticket question
If you cant get a full refd, try and sell it. You might get nearly the full amount as I'm sure they'll be someone who may now want a season ticket and like the early bird price.
Failing that, knock a few quid off what he paid, might tempt someone who's circumstances gave changed or couldn't afford a full one.
Some money back is better than nothing , which if unused is a waste if both his money and a seat.

Re: Season ticket question
You can read it ten ways if you want but there’s only one correct way to read it. The OP has asked if it is possible to get a refund for a season ticket. Nowhere does he mention getting individual refunds for the matches that the ticket holder can’t attend.2 Bee Holed wrote:I must admit, now I read the OP I can now read it 2 ways.

There was some unnecessary detail in the OP but rather than reading the text, you’ve chosen to read between the lines and then make quite unnecessary responses in order to belittle the poster. In reality you’ve just made yourself look daft.

I admit I have read it wrong, and if I have caused any offence to the OP, I humbly apologise.
I think Rileybobs...that all posts since the OP came on and said he'd rung the Ticket Office have been
'having a laugh' and light hearted and showing how easy it is to get the wrong end of the stick.
Not just me by the way, quite a few posters have been having to give 2 different answers.
Anyways, I apologise for any offence, I have read it the wrong way.
I am surprised you can only read it the one way, and as it happens the correct way, this time!

Re: Season ticket question
is he doing this so he can pay on the gate instead (armed with a bag of twixes from Aldi) ?
Re: Season ticket question
I must admit I have a daily fancy for an Aldi Twix, otherwise known as Jive. For anyone that's not tried them it's a must, admittedly they're smaller but they taste much better Imo than a Twix.Marney&Mee wrote:is he doing this so he can pay on the gate instead (armed with a bag of twixes from Aldi) ?

**** the Twix, I prefer a kit kat less stressful on the teeth. Question is, why did they stop selling them after Xmas time last year on the Turf?
