We have been ripped off

Tue Oct 20, 2020 5:56 pm

A number of home games are being shown live and no doubt more will follow. Now tomorrow the game is on the red button. Therefore those who bought season tickets and already pay for Sky have been completely ripped off. That is simply not good enough.

They should have never sold season tickets and they will regret it next summer

Depends on what happens also only sold 9k give or take so plenty of scope to sell another 8k if still in championship.... can look at it this way every home game this season got income of 9k in respect of st sales... whatever money clubs borrow from efl will need to be paid back so swings and roundabouts..

Once you have watched a game on Cardiff City TV they stop money from your season ticket every home game even if you watch it on sky. They don’t give refunds if you don’t use CCTV
I have sky tv so will be paying twice to watch games on tv.

So a st holder watches 1 game and money is automatically taken out every game even though you don't log in to cctv?

I think most went into their season ticket purchase eyes wide open with a level of expectation the season would be limited at best for physically attending games...

You appear to contribute little other than 'knock' anything and everything you can... :?

Coming from you who just abuses or belittles people with a different opinion to yourself? Behave.

I said they will regret it because we are one of the only clubs to have sold them and they will be massively down on ticket sales next season because most will be free given they have the money this year and refunds will be due. They will also have no parachute payments so income will be very little.

Its a valid point and to be honest I couldn't give a shit what you think .

They will need to refund or give a lot of money off next year's tickets to those who paid this year. That will result in a massive reduction in incoming from ticket sales.
Plus no paracute payments we could be in trouble

Grow up? :clap: You should grow a pair...! :lol:

Bring it on, fella. You seemingly do "give a shit going on that reaction! :cry:

My shoulders are clearly broader than yours and my points are valid, too! ;)

If they give refunds, it will only be monies (or the bulk of minus fees for watching games online) they have received from said season ticket holders, so they're not actually 'losing' anything and we are not being ripped off!

Can't fault the club for putting season tickets on sale and I bought in both good faith and knowledge of the situation, as did others, so "ripped off" we certainly have not been ;)

No idea what you are on about with the grow up / grow a pair comment ?

Regarding your other points, show me where I have said anybody has been ripped off ?

I never said or inferred that.

I did they will regret putting tickets on sale this season because next summer instead of getting 9k ticket money they will be refunding it or giving the next season to fans pretty much free at the same time as losing parachute payments.The incoming for next season will be very low as they have already spent it, people will not pay twice. That is a fact - FELLA

Chris that’s spot on with me anyway. I renewed my season and my 2 daughters knowing that there was a possibility that we wouldn’t be able to go to the stadium. It’s not about that for me, I have helped the club I love out so no problem for me.

It won’t be a problem Thomas because we are going up :thumbup:

Now come on, I don't want to see this type of negativity on here. We all know the club and players are going through tough times.

Theres a 46 million wage bill to sort out for starters.

That's very noble sir and I guess the world needs more people like you.

But me personally thinks the players and owners are rich enough to help out themselves and don't need my help. Im sure theres are a few millionaires amongst them.

When the chips are down these greedy corps and big business types will just pi... all over you.

We are just a line on a graph and nothing more. Football is a business and nothing more to these corps in suits.

Yes, they throw a few bones your way to keep the restless natives a tad happy.

But overall when they are tossing up in the boardroom on whether to help the individual fan or player or agent, you and me are last in the list my friends.

There's your loyalty, in a bucket and getting pissed all over. Be careful not slip when bucket overflows cause there's plenty that will be pissing in it.

It's the same as fans giving season ticket refunds to academy as well. Really , really, very charitable, well done to you all.

But heres a thought, how about saving all your charitable pennies for the cost of living increases that are coming your way , and your ticket price increases. Its coming, believe you me.

Im not giving them no more than I need to.Plenty of millionaires at these clubs up and down the land. Fu... um all, squirm you greedy bas....

Simple and honest answer required: Did you or did you not renew your season ticket for 2020/21? :?

If you did, then stop bleating and accept you made your own choice to part with your hard earned knowing there was a chance the season would be at least partially without crowds

If you didn't, then you have no real part in this debate other than to peddle your financial bitterness towards others, which is pretty incessant :oops:

Thats right stick up for the millionaires. Turn on the people on your own level that fighting for a better deal.

Or perhaps you are a marketing corp for the club and are paid to be positive. Makes sense now, you are sought of a shill account.

Its all clear to me now,ffs.

A shill, also called a plant or a stooge, is a person who publicly helps or gives credibility to a person or organization without disclosing that they have a close relationship with the person or organization.Shills can carry out their operations in the areas of media, journalism, marketing, politics.

One final note,

I paid a shielding deposit cause I saw the shit storm coming. Also streaming online for fu.. all.

Imagine paying out of loyalty and getting shafted for streaming. Ffs, wake people. Critical thinking!!!!

Got to be fair, you do brighten my day with your incessant drivel :lol:

I don't need you to explain words (big or small) to me and particularly ones that don't fit the overall (not localised) point ;)

I'll leave it at repeating that everyone who renewed (fully or partially) did so with their eyes wide open; the pros and cons were certainly discussed enough on this Forum

As the saying goes, you pays your money and takes your chance...or not! ;)

Just keep up the good marketing plugs for the club buddy. Happy shilling and I hope you enjoy all the perks that comes with the job.

I'll keep plugging away for the man in the street and not the big corps and big business people.

Stay safe everyone
