21/22 Season tix

[TerryTheTerror]

What grinds my gears is the club have artificially inflated the non-early bird price just to claw money back from credit claimers, no other reason.

I doubt this as there won't be many sales of season tickets at those prices. What the club have done is give folk a huge incentive to renew and forego their claim to the credits and any that don't will still pay quite an amount (£180 for ETU for instance).

Another thing to bear in mind is that the credit could be used to buy match tickets, not just season tickets...

Therefore, Dundee United ensure that if three or more home games are held behind closed doors during season 2020/21, those who purchased a season ticket will receive a credit equivalent to 1/19th of their season ticket price for each match missed from the third match that can then be put towards either the overall cost of a season ticket or match tickets for the 2021/22 season.

Well, yes I agree very few will take up the offer of the credits, but my point is that the prices were inflated so much, alongside the risk of losing a seat, the even the psychological impact of not being considered "loyal" as to make it not worth the while to use the credits.

In a cynical sense, yes United have incentivised people not to use credits, in the same way someone carrying a weapon might incentivise you to hand over your wallet - it's the least bad option.

All football clubs treat fans are commodities to be monetised and our current owners are no different. They'll take the bad PR and fan discontent all day long until it eats into their bottom line.

That's not a dig at the Ogrens, more an observation of football club owners in general.

I think the price hike will remain in place for the following season, can't see them reducing it.


As I said previously "I have renewed my ticket"

but I do think those people at United who thought
"how are we going to get round this situation that we give season ticket holders 17/20ths of the price of this year's ticket" have been too clever with their solution.

They didn't need to out manoeuvre us.

We love our club. Most of us understand their dilemma and would happily oblige by not claiming what was a rash/misguided offer from last year.
