Bought first season ticket for 10 years for me and the lad in the Arthur, £500 and £335 which I reckon is very reasonable, £26 and £17 a game. Called the box office, easier than doing it online cos they can explain exactly where etc, they were very helpful and anwered the phone in a nano second ! Job done.

can you phone if your looking to renew but use the monthly payment scheme? I seem to remember from the past I have to drive up early on game day in the past ?

Don't think the monthly scheme is avaialble til the start of March, and they'll have gone up a bit by then after the 'early bird' offer. That's what I was told anyway !

Purchased, online, 23rd January without problem. Instant communication and, being a concessionary ticket, at £335.00, a gift.

Rang up to renew ours today (Holmesdale Upper) and asked for a note to be made that we wanted to move downstairs if possible once season tickets go on general release after March 31st. A mate did this last season - renewed his two seats upstairs and then later on the club contacted him and moved him downstairs, refunding the difference in cost.

Anyway, long story short, I was told that we had to move now or not at all and of course at the moment the only place we could get 3 seats together was "restricted view" or in the Arthur (which is even more expensive).

When I explained that I knew someone that had done this last season I was told that "the owners have decided that the club won't do this anymore". Why? To save money on the administration?

So if you were hoping to move your seat at the end of this season I'm afraid that unless you sit on your own you're going to be very unlikely to be able to - unless you wait until after March 31st, at which time you'll pay a much higher price for the privilege no doubt.

Very disappointed by this.

I was in the upper Holmesdale last season- I renewed but moved down to the lower Holmesdale paying the early bird reduced price. The seats I was allocated were in row 1 behind the goal.....awful view.
As soon as the time was up for season tickets to be renewed I went up to the box office and took my pick of the best seats not taken up. I got great seats but you have to be quick.

I'm not able to go to every game but am tempted to get one just to secure a seat. How does the selling back of individual games to the box office work? Is it capped etc?

Big risk though - I'd have to take the "restricted view" seats and then hope I could get 3 together in a decent position. I'm not willing to take that risk. Club looked after us really well in the past in facilitating post-renewal moves - real shame they're not prepared to do it anymore.

I guess they know that they'll sell the seats anyway - and financially, they'll be better off selling them on a game-by-game basis of course.

 

Chirrup Flag Berkshire 23 Feb 16 6.05pm

I'm not sure they'll even permit what you did anymore, by the way - what was said to me was that the owners have decreed that if you want to move, you HAVE to do it when you renew - implying that they won't allow you to pick a better seat later.

they should make it possible.

Arsenal do a fan exchange, if a ST holder cant go, they can sell it via the Fan Exchange to Arsenal members. The game then simply loads on the members card. Not sure how Arsenal make money from it, they must do right? I suppose it stops tickets being touted?

Indeed. Chelsea do the same, you get 'face value' & they sell on with a fee added. Used to be on Viagogo but I understand they have their own system now.

We done the buy back last season but seemed to have scrapped it this year, What a lot seem to do is buy a season ticket,then advertise unwanted games for sale on here and then get the box office to print a paper ticket in the persons name for collection.

I don't mind palace to be fair. Much better club than tinpot Charlton and Brighton

Chirrup Flag Berkshire 04 Mar 16 5.22pm

They've scrapped everything that was helpful, yes.

Suspect they're happier to sell more tickets on a match by match basis - they make more money that way and they're pretty much guaranteed to sell them in the over-hyped Premier League.

But they can't sell tickets for seats that season ticket holders have. Unable to attend = empty seat.

bicycle repair man 05 Apr 16 2.17pm

renewed my and my son's season tickets in the early bird phase.I checked out the seats available now on general sale and saw two i liked.Went to the box office to inquire about swapping seats,thinking this could be a complicated operation if allowed at all.
I could not have been more wrong the whole transaction took about 5 minutes,no problem at all, i got the seats i wanted.And well done to young Gabriellek for her customer friendly and efficient service.
