I’m not sure what 50% discount relates to, as this season (2019/20) it was a 23% discount for renewal against new.

This probably relates to the cost savings in buying a season ticket vs a ticket for every game separately.

For example in the Gold seats, it is on average £60 a ticket so 18 tickets a season would cost £1080 versus £710 this season (not exact as a lot of the early games were discounted), so about a third of the cost. Jester tickets are about £38 (I think) so £684 for the season compared to the season ticket cost of £215.

Could it (the 50%) refer to the cost difference between a Jester Membership price and the equivalent cost of buying individual tickets to all 16 games covered under a membership?

Renewed

HamptonCourtJester · « **Reply #48 on:** Thursday 12-Mar-2020, 09:58* »

I pay by directdebit and I believe, looking in my basket, this means I automatically renew.
I probably would have anyway. I am fairly new in terms of the number of years I have been a member, compared to you guys (20/21 will be my 5th). Therefore I am only used to the offerings of The Stoop in its more recent guise, so/and I have always thought the Jester membership to be very very good value, so it was due an increase........
HOWEVER.......for a SUCH a large % increase to our tickets I think the club should have offered up the response on the previous page, explaining the reasons for this, BEFORE they rolled it out. It is a bit out of order to just try and sneak an increase of that much (amongst other items) under the radar.

"the 20/21 Membership programme includes many new elements that will be highly valued by Season Ticket Members e.g. new card, new gift, enhanced digital content."

Do they honestly think I value a "new card" or their "digital content" where Gussy tells me that they trained well all week after another loss.

If a buy a ST it's because I want a ticket to all the games, it has nothing to do with any schemes they come up with to "add value".

I'm not sure that using the new screens as justification makes sense given their positioning relative to many of the Jester seats.

That said the next category up's seats are not much better than Jester other than in the South Stand and still cost a lot more, so no real incentive to change.

I have been in my Jester seat for quite a few years now, and although it is a big price hike it is still less than I paid several years ago when it was a Touchline seat.

Couldn't see/find the 'latest' renewal date to keep your existing seat on the literature sent out by the club, it is however in the Season 20/21 FAQ section on the web and its

Tuesday 9th June - If anyone is interested....

I agree that the Jester seats are still very good value, which is why I'll renew but it's not great to have a large price hike in one go. Direct debit certainly softens the blow.

"New card, new gift, enhanced digital content" - who cares. Nothing wrong with my existing card, not sure what the gift is but presumably £5 off a very overpriced short or similar. Digital content - I'm quite happy to just see what the general public gets. The post match analysis and pre-match stuff is largely hot air anyway. We trained well, we're not blaming injuries (but we are), etc.

Not sure what all these interactive TVs are around the ground. The new screens are decent though and the new scoreboards long overdue.

No mention of improving the awful bar service and getting some decent food in. Time to replace Jolly Hog with someone who actually does a decent hog roast for less than £10. Gave up on them long ago when they started serving up a small amount of boiled pork in a stale bun, mostly filled with a heap of stodgy stuffing.

The new card(s) are apparently needed as they have the ability for use in paying for things outside the Stoop. Not sure whether that means it's like the sort of card you can have for a child where you can load a fixed amount on & use anywhere as a contactless payment, or it's tied to specific local outlets isn't clear.

Oh well, I've had my moan but will still renew, though one of our group isn't so will have to put up with a stranger next year - or rather they'll have to put up with us!

We were thinking about dropping down from 2 adults and 3 kids as our kids often have other things on and can't always make the game - but Premier family and child tickets are no longer available new, so we are keeping them on for at least another year (when our eldest will be 16 and so we'll have to change something). The price hike isn't huge, but it's enough to be noticeable.

Suspect this will cause a riot...

Q: Do I have access to the Honours Bar at The Stoop?
A: Honours Bar access is an exclusive benefit for our Gold and Premier Season Ticket
Members. New Gold and Premier Members will also have access to the bar. Due to limited
capacity, Club, Touchline and Jester Members will unfortunately not be allowed access.
From 20/21 this will include all non-Gold or Premier Members who were previously offered
access to the bar. Access will be denoted by your new Season Ticket Membership card.

Not true. I have a Club ticket (due to being in front 4 rows of FD) and under Season Ticket benefits it says "Exclusive access to Honours Bar on matchday".

Umm, DOK, they're issuing new cards & changing the conditions. You won't have the access anymore. I can't find any exception in the FAQs or the Brochure.

Presume its this passage thats the change to the Club members going forward
"Due to limited capacity, Club, Touchline and Jester Members will unfortunately not be allowed access."
