Bearsden bear 2,376 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Obviously this season we have stuck our hands in our pockets and backed the club, despite not knowing when we will get to a game. I know we get the home games on RTV but they can be purchased for £10 per game. In our household (3 ST) its costing us about £75 per game. I would like to see the club do a monthly draw or such for season ticket holders to go to the training centre and meet a couple of players. Or maybe some other activities to give us supporters something back. Maybe they could make a wee feature on rtv or youtube to publicise these events. Slim chance of winning raffle etc but it would be a great opportunity for younger bears (and older ones) to maybe get to spend a few mins with their heroes. And it costs the club nothing but some time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
British_Empire 9,648 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Your season ticket 'benefits' is that you get into Ibrox to watch the games. I'm running the risk of sounding like a cunt here, but everyone chose to renew in the middle of a pandemic and knew there was a chance they might not get to see a lot of games this season due to it and the safety concerns. It was a fantastic response from the support and the club have arranged to make sure they (season ticket holders) can watch these games they miss out on, for free, on PPV TV. Where has this new trend of wanting more actually come from? the fans (rightly) took the plaudits for stumping up hard earned cash, in this really challenging time for the club (and the economy/world/population in general). If any of the above was an issue, then you shouldn't have renewed. No-one would have thought any less - well I wouldn't have anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are nit-picking what you consider the definition of free to be. The club already have the season ticket money irrespective of these games on TV. Season ticket holders get them at no cost, non-season ticket holders have to pay. What do you suggest? every season ticket holder get's their pro-rata season ticket payments back, minus £9.99 for each of these games or something? if so, send Roofe and Itten back beacuse we can't afford them.

It is. Without cost or fee is the definition, therefore it’s not free considering people have paid to get it.

You paid for your ST and are entitled to whats in the t&c for that contract. If you paid over and above for these games, you would be paying for them then. If you aren't, and we aren't, then you're not paying for them. Or you are, you're paying the sum of zero. Feel free to show any term, condition or contract which defines you paying for these games.

Those current laws prevent clubs permitting access. If we get to the summer and have seen no games, the club will have fulfilled their part of the contract. There is no legal right to refund in the contract, last season a refund was given but not as a contractual obligation. That's your entitlement for your ST money. Anything over and above that is additional. If you're getting over and above that, without paying more, its free. Off to watch the game now 😁👍 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
