Aye, but you can always pay another fiver on top and use the priority queue. Anyway, the youngsters don't know they're born not having had the pleasure of the bogs at Burnden!Burnden Paddock wrote: ↑Thu May 04, 2017 10:28 amWant to use our piss laden bogs?

Re: Season Tickets 17/18
But someone has to do that regardless as to the method of payment. It's a very dubious add-on, is this!Abdoulaye's Twin wrote: ↑Thu May 04, 2017 10:13 amThere's definitely work involved as some poor bugger has to match payments up etc to make sure nothings gone awry.

Re: Season Tickets 17/18
Big difference between 10k monthly payments than 10k single payments, especially when a percentage of those monthly payments might be stopped or unpaid due to insufficient funds etc. I agree that it is a cost of doing business and I hate all these add-ons everyone likes to spring on you.Bruce Rioja wrote: ↑Thu May 04, 2017 11:11 amBut someone has to do that regardless as to the method of payment.

Re: Season Tickets 17/18
That doesn't effect the club though. The finance agreement for the STH is with the loan company who presumably pay the club with a single payment.Abdoulaye's Twin wrote: ↑Thu May 04, 2017 11:19 amBig difference between 10k monthly payments than 10k single payments, especially when a percentage of those monthly payments might be stopped or unpaid due to insufficient funds etc. I agree that it is a cost of doing business and I hate all these add-ons everyone likes to spring on you.Bruce Rioja wrote: ↑Thu May 04, 2017 11:11 amBut someone has to do that regardless as to the method of payment.

It's they that'll come after you if you default. You can't just say "Oh, we're doing shit" and walk away. You've taken a loan out.

Re: Season Tickets 17/18
Didn't realise they were using a finance company. In that case I guess there will be lots of silly fees if you've a failed payment etc.Bruce Rioja wrote: ↑Thu May 04, 2017 11:26 am

Re: Season Tickets 17/18
Do they use a finance company? I've never actually looked, but when I changed bank accounts it was BWFC themselves who contacted me to say the payment had failed.Bruce Rioja wrote: ↑Thu May 04, 2017 11:26 amThat doesn't effect the club though.

Re: Season Tickets 17/18
They do but I didn't keep the blurb and have forgotten who they are. Don't forget though, Ticketmaster answer the phone as 'Bolton Wanderers' - are you sure it was the club who contacted you?BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Thu May 04, 2017 12:45 pmDo they use a finance company?

Re: Season Tickets 17/18
Yes. Sure. Because they had some sort of database issue and my details kept reverting to my old account so I had to go and see them in Bolton central to resolve - which involved setting the whole thing up again. Was a few years ago like.Bruce Rioja wrote: ↑Thu May 04, 2017 1:13 pmThey do but I didn't keep the blurb and have forgotten who they are.

Re: Season Tickets 17/18
Hmm, you've got me curious now. It was definitely with some finance house when I set it up, but that was years ago. My statements do say 'Payment to Bolton Wanderers' though. Because I let it auto renew I never bother to look - I will this time though.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Thu May 04, 2017 1:18 pmYes. Sure.

Re: Season Tickets 17/18
I see they now want an extra £20 to give you priority for away tickets. What a con. Can't imagine too many will pay for that

Re: Season Tickets 17/18
You could sign up for an away ST last season, for which they automatically debited your account and sent you tickets.

Perhaps they might if it means guaranteed entry to what could turn out to be a pivotal encounter at Burton Albion in the season's penultimate match?

Re: Season Tickets 17/18
Any indication of how well/badly ST's are shifting? Normally you get a few snippets from the Thumb (Marc Iles) or the club themselves, but nothing this time - which makes me think the price increase hasn't been too popular

That really is the only away game at which I see demand outstripping supply though.
