Season tickets next season

[ŽižkovClaret]

For such an esteem contributor to the life of Burnley FC, I find that behaviour, you are enduring, unfathomable.

What kind of people are running our club nowadays?

Hard nose capitalists. Which i don't mind, if it is competent. There does remain, however, a whiff of the old "make it up as they go along" syndrome and a real lack of pro-active communication from the club which leaves a vacuum to be filled with speculation of varying mood.

[Bosscat]

So you are a Stewart, Bosscat!

Did you hang around for Peggy?
Are you waiting for the next rising? (Any time soon now, so polish your claymore)

Yes I am named for a Stewart 1st name spelled like the surname from a Scottish Relative ... so I have North of the Wall connections Ian

[GetIntoEm]

its likely Jeff Bezos wouldnt answer a question about the price of a book, or Elon Musk on the RRP of his cars.

its the way of the world, they pay people to work in ticketing. contact them

[daveisaclaret]

Nobody should have to be contacting anyone about season tickets. The prices should be out and they should be on sale. As they are not out, we should be told why.

The next season doesn’t start for at least another 20 weeks, you do know that don’t you?

[IanMcL]

However, wr have to start paying.

Either outright - How much needed?
Or DD - if we lose a month, payments then increase, even if the same price maintained.

[claretonthecoast1882]

It is a positive sign at least so many seem very eager to renew as soon as possible

[Rileybobs]

Whilst I agree that reactions to things on here can be quite hysterical at times, I think people who have a monthly direct debit which is due to expire/renew at the end of this month should have been communicated as to what to do or expect.

[Funkydrummer]

The days of communication are pretty much long gone
these days I'm afraid, which is ironic given the numerous
platforms, apps and machines/devices that are prevalent
in today's society.

As for BFC, we are now being treated in the typical American way. All
top show with very little or no substance.

When I spoke to the tickets office, they told me emails were being sent very soon. I'm certainly not losing any sleep over it, but I guess everyones different.

Why did you speak to the ticket office? Next season is over 20 weeks away.

I don't think anyone is losing sleep over it, do you? And why should supporters have to contact the ticket office? There are 20,000 supporters and 1 ticket office, do the maths.

You would hope there would be something of a cohesive, focused strategy for their main non-TV revenue stream

Has a feel to the Kate Middleton photo, does this demand for information

[daveisaclaret]

I literally just want to buy a season ticket?

Some folk on here are determined to find fault with Burnley fans and I have absolutely no idea why.

[Chester Perry]

There is another way to look at this delay in season ticket announcements and that is the club does not appear to have any pressing cashflow requirements for it's day to day costs - though being a 1st year Premier League team - it shouldn't have.

good, timely and appropriate communication is an essential tool in in maintaining and enhancing a club's relationship with it's fans. The early announcement of season ticket prices is an established trend with the club under the previous and current ownership, therefore a change in that practice warrants a certain level of communication as to why - it doesn't have to be too revealing and we know that the club are well capable of doing such.

[Dark Cloud]

My guess is that all current season ticket holders are going to get next season entirely free as a loyalty bonus after this somewhat disastrous one. (People will of course have the right to opt out and cancel, so I'd expect a few on here will certainly take that option). Those without season tickets currently will be hit with a hefty increase on last year's cost should they choose to get one.

[Bosscat]

Or let them know they aren't

[Rodleydave]

Ian Mcl I think my name is mud anyway after the stink I kicked up, and the emails I sent to all the hierarchy, re the Everton fans in the upper JH and the chaos they caused.
These are the people who suggested they would understand if I chose not to attend future games.
I replied that we would be here as supporters long after they had gone.

[Nori1958]

Or perhaps he emailed the wrong people..... I always get a reply when I've emailed, but then again iam just your average supporter, who emails the correct dept

Good and warranted response.

[Murger]

Just spoken to the ticket office on the phone. Was told the same as Bosscat's email but also that because it's so late, the direct debits will likely be starting in May rather than April for the next season

Increasing people’s monthly payments because they can’t get their house in order is beyond amateurish.

[Blue Skies]

Dark Cloud. That has to be your most optimistic post ever. Free STs next season, have you gone mad. Stick to the 50% increase which is more akin to your User Name

We've seen just one home win and it's mid March and tbh I can't see us getting another. If I was Alan free season tickets for next term would just be the bloody start!! In truth I do feel privileged and slightly smug because I went to Luton, so I've actually witnessed 2 thirds of our winning "streak"!!

[StayingDown4Ever]

If they know they are getting one can they not just save the money they expected the first instalment to be?

You have just done a post without a reference to Trafford

I’ve emailed 3 times in 18 months re the same problem, and received no response despite being told twice over the phone that the email address I had was the correct one for that issue.

Go figure.

That post doesn't say they're going to increase, just that they will start in May

I can only say what my experience is, so I don't have to "go figure" anything. I take it you don't speak to the public that way Mr policeman?

[Murger]

By starting a month later, they’ll be losing a months payment? They’ll want to recoup that, or am I bring thick?

[KlyBfc]

I’m expecting (like others have said) with no evidence whatsoever that the early bird option will go and it will be one season ticket price for each category. That may mean May to May is the new payment procedure or maybe not. It’s a joke now though. The response I got mid Feb was they were just waiting for final confirmation on prices and that should be by the end of feb. A little bit of information (to all) wouldn’t go a miss.

The league and form we are in would never stop me getting a season ticket, and though I can afford a price rise I do have a limit that I’ll pay on principle. The way some of those in positions of power behave / act may just push me over the edge if I’m close to the line of what I’ll accept.

[dougcollins]

So you are a Stewart, Bosscat!

Polishing your claymore is frowned upon in North Yorkshire -certainly in public.

Brandishing it in public is too

More Sgian Dubh in Yorkshire, is it? Bit secretive?

I struggle to comprehend how communication can be so poor across all our organisations given modern technology.

Can’t work out if it is an ironic obsession with screens for the generation now in charge leading to no people skills, or taking customers for granted (including public sector “customers”). Probably both. It only ends one way though. Customer drain.

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

I’ll definitely buy one if we get Knutsen

[ClaretWot4]

Hi All ,

Bought a ticket for family member this morning and thought I'd ask about season tickets.

I received the usual response. Still finalising details until end of month.

Maybe they just waiting until it's mathematically impossible to be in Premier next season.

[Spike]

Less than 3 weeks until next direct debit goes out !
Why is everything such hard work ?
I have never felt more disconnected to the club .
This will be my 51st Season ticket if they ever get round to letting me have one.
If they are shooting the early bird then let’s have the guts to tell us

How do you know that's when the direct debit goes out? The club won't have told you that yet

They are not shooting the early bird, just rumours spread on here by people with nothing better to do

Do you actually feel disconnected, or is it just the fashionable thing to say, what does it mean?

Here he is, the oracle.

[Blue Skies]

Spike's post is spot on. As for being disconnected, it is pretty obvious what is meant. There is always a downbeat feel to a relegation but the club has continued to battle on with a team that the best part of 20000 fans can see is not right and has not produced and rolled over so many times. All we are asking is a communication regarding next season ticket situation!

[jrgbfc]

I don't think fans/customers wanting a bit of clarity about their season tickets is too much to ask. Especially as the club are releasing info a lot later than normal.

[Nori1958]

I don't think anyone disagrees with you, just some take it that little bit further

[Nori1958]

Read the emails from the club, copied on this messageboard

[Burnleyareback2]

Only a guess, but any chance they are waiting for planning permission for some ground updates to come through before announcing what will be available?

[Bosscat]

Asked in person this afternoon and got the same reply as the email ... like the Trafford Contract thread ... speculation isn't helping anyone

[boyyanno]

Real shame Nori continues to drag threads down like this.

[Jamesy]

He loves to provoke an argument. That’s all.

I must admit I thought this also BAB2.
