I bought a “late season ticket” for £100 for 5 meetings. When they postponed the last match (weather was fine) and rearranged for this week I knew I couldn’t go as I travelled to Gorzow. I emailed them saying it was pointless me buying the season ticket, they responded with “you have still saved some money and we will give you a programme”. They were hinting that I’ve still saved £5. Then two days later they wrote they are giving a discount of £5 to that match, bearing in mind I actually never want a programme, so I basically am no better off, which isn’t the end of the world and I’m not that fussed. What it did show me is that season tickets are pointless in speedway because one or two rain offs and if you can’t make the re runs then you don’t save any more. I’ll never invest in another season ticket again in this sport. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouch Posted September 4 Report Share Posted September 4 Season tickets rarely offer much financial gain but I have one as it saves the faff of booking for each meeting and means Mum & I are in the same seats every meeting, have been for years. It’s also said it gives the club a financial boost pre season which helps at a time of no income. I’m never bothered if special deals crop up like Richard’s £5 discount and think clubs should do more of this to boost interest. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it secures your seat as seats are sought after in football, especially the prem. As for Ipswich Witches, I can safely get a ticket every meeting in a matter of minutes and sit wherever I want in the stand for no charge or stand where I want, a season ticket gives you literal no advantage over just booking each week, at least mine didn’t. If anything it gives you financial loss if so many are rearranged and you can’t go to the re runs, whereas on the day you’ll never be in that situation as you just want buy them if it’s raining and called off.

It’s also said it gives the club a financial boost pre season which helps at a time of no income. I’m never bothered if special deals crop up like Richard’s £5 discount and think clubs should do more of this to boost interest. I’m exactly the same. It’s nice getting one in the build up to a new season and having your whole year paid up and done. I also like the fact the season ticket gate opens up earlier than the main gates and I just waltz through without queuing. Little things yes, but handy all the same. My nephew never gets one but still goes to 99% of the fixtures so whenever I either don’t feel like going one week, or can’t for whatever reason, I let him use my season ticket number so he gets free entry so in my mind I haven’t lost any value. Again like you, it doesn’t bother me one bit that the club has put on a fiver discount for Monday’s meeting and I don’t feel cheated in any way. We have two home meetings in four days and he’s thinking of the supporters pockets, good on him. Despite a small minority who strangely enjoy having a pop at him (probably because he has the gall to not be Ipswich legend Chris Louis), I think Coleman has been a breath of fresh air and made a good impression in his first year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most clubs make season tickets cheaper than paying for every meeting, Workington have 3 bands all with free parking, others work out a free meeting or free program and saving a few more £s on the weekly price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siggytastic Posted September 5 Report Share Posted September 5 It would be a nice gesture if they gave season ticket holder's a free programme to partially compensate the £5 off. After all, I have paid full price for an out of date programme with a leaflet inside enough times. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aries Posted September 6 Author Report Share Posted September 6 (edited) SHOULD, in theory be the easier of the two home meetings this week especially with Ellis back in for Nicholls and Sheffield running R/R for J Holder. 51-39 in the reverse fixture so wouldn’t rule out the bonus point either. Lynn’s biggest hope of a slip up will be Thursday when messrs Doyle and Kurtz come to town. Edited September 6 by Aries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InTheDeepStuff Posted September 6 Report Share Posted September 6 Bates’ keeping the purse strings tight! Feel sorry for any travelling Sheffield fans not been given a decent 1-7 to support, R/R not the way to go with the way Sheffield have been built Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko Posted September 7 Report Share Posted September 7 At Arena Essex if you were a season ticket holder you could go in through the riders gate into a separate car park closer to the track and you got a free program too, skipping any queues in the process.

In theory yes But there is a GP Saturday so I’m not sure Kurtz will give it his all … we know Doyle will Kurtz this season though is up against inferior witches then the last 2 seasons with no Doyle and Emil against him so he should be able to gate and get double figures A lot depends on Blodorn and Cook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShanoXtra Posted September 7 Report Share Posted September 7 Out of the country so watched the stream for the first time. Must admit it was pretty decent from start to finish and professional enough to keep you interested. The racing was really good too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
