Totally agree.

Thinking on it further, it's a double kick in the teeth if, like me, you waived a refund on last season's and donated instead to the Academy

Old, Ungifted and White

Season tickets should be 17,501 - if they hadn"t put mine up by 60%, but alas they did, and i didn"t! With the biggest CONservative donor in our owner !(direct line fella, unless he left) you have to put it all down to business,we (or you), are nothing but paymasters in a business, not family as some like to believe, our (your) loyalty means nothing now the tv money is calling the shots, it"s all about the money, and like so many other things you sign up for these days, usually will screw you over if they feel they can, and they feel they can! It"s a race to the bottom chaps- COYP!

I donated to the academy as it's what I wanted to do for my club.
Right or wrong to do it the refund wouldn't have changed my life.
It may start an academy players.
This needs isolating as a separate issue totally.

The club aren't asking for full price up front as they are deducting the cost of the first two games:

'The prices reflect the fact that no fans will be permitted to attend the first two home league games, meaning prices are in effect 17/19ths of last season's Season Ticket price'

However this is still wrong and no substantive payment up front should be asked for.

Also not knowing what games you'll get, they say a mix of Cat A & B games so probably 1 A & 2 B's if you're lucky, you can't plan anything and then you've got cup games on top so how will they work?

I believe Arsenal are only asking ST holders for a set contribution which gets them in to a lottery for match tickets and if at the end you get more than your contribution you pay the excess or vice versa if you get less, I think this isn't a bad idea myself.

From me personally though my son is registered disabled and I attend as his carer but I pay for his ticket every season, albeit at concession rate, yet this season he will not be guaranteed to be able to sit in the seat he has had for nigh on 20 seasons now and this will affect him greatly due to him being severely autistic.

I have pondered not renewing his and just buying mine at full price or even paying the £200 to hold his ticket for 21/22 (which should keep my seat too) but as he isn't self shielding how will this work?

I have emailed Pam Groves and am still awaiting a reply but they are obviously snowed under with this farce.

To be honest I don't really think next season is going to be as enjoyable as it was, even if it is 'like it was back in the 80's' crowd wise, so there's not a lot to miss IMO.

Also there will probably be another wave of CV19 so more cancelled games and fans being told to stay away.

Good luck to all that do renew, writing this has now made my mind up, and hopefully I'll be back in my seat in 21/22 with my 2 sons and their 3 friends and I will miss it but that's my choice.

COYP!

What can this strange device be?
When I touch it it gives forth a sound.

Eagles fit fans squad number 21, group 2

- =

This is all on the assumption fans will be allowed back even if reduced numbers. However if there is a second wave or the situation deteriorates, maybe we won’t be allowed back at all. Would they then have the front too charge £5 to watch on Palace tv having paid for a season ticket.
