woofers 467 Posted January 31, 2019 I see that Season Tickets are being introduced again this year. I was initially sceptical of this given the way last year ended with the non running of the final fixture, (and still waiting for the results of the ‘full investigation’ by the SCB) however having sat down and crunched some numbers it does look like a decent deal compared to previous years, where I think the saving amounted to roughly the price of one admission. This year the season ticket is priced at £199 and includes a programme. This is for 13 events, (10 League, 2 Shield and 1 KOC fixture) which at full price with a programme would be £247, (£19x13). So that’s a saving of £48, or 2.5 meetings. So it makes financial sense if you can do 11 meetings or more. The equivalent numbers for concession rates with a programme are season ticket £173, full price £221, also saving £48, or 2.8 meetings. Worth considering, I used to buy one in the Elite days, it was also nice to have a dedicated entrance, no queuing ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HGould 2,213 Posted January 31, 2019 Very competitive, hard to compare with my Team (Brummies) as we have Tickets for 15 meetings. Guess at Perry Barr I'm expected to decide to pay for Challenge Fixtures or hope we progress in Cup / Shield / Play Off. Free Programme at Arlington a very nice touch also for ST Holders. £16 Adult and £14 concession at Arlington is lowest I can see in CL (few others at £16 - Brummies £16.50). My wife will want to come to Arlington (doh) women 60-65 OAP Concession (massive BRAVO to whoever decided that!). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't get to hopeful it will not be a rider. Probably another sponsor or a new announcer Coombes ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gazzac 1,015 Posted February 4, 2019 When you look at the goings on at other clubs ( Berge at Somerset, Workington pulling out etc) it makes the current situation at Eastie seem even more admirable. An all British team certainty capable of the payoffs, management/promoters doing their utmost in obtaining secure sponsorship and backing, and making appointments that the fans want such as Kevin Coombes. Happy days for Eastie fans at the moment. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tigerforever 86 Posted February 4, 2019 Yes great to hear, I think your club will be a breath of fresh air for the championship, no doubt unbeatable at home and using a tac sub at most away tracks which will get you a point here and there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HGould 2,213 Posted February 4, 2019 Hopefully my Club Birmingham will be a breath of fresh air too and if we could see likes of Kent; Plymouth and Mildenhall try to venture up too in next few years and no one else lave it could be a cracking League. Mighty impressed by what's happening at Eastbourne though. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
