Membership Scheme Launched

As expected then

Would like to see the numbers at the end of the season for take up of the Platinum membership. Are people able to commit to every game so far in advance

Notters · Jul 2, 2013

Can. Of. Worms.

I'm a gold member, I love joining things

Notters · Jul 2, 2013

Sounds like gold member won't be waived booking fees, only platinum members.

Also sounds like bronze and blue members get no points/priority towards away games.

Also doesn't explain how this fits in with the current points system.

Also doesn't mention the fact that the whole thing is completely pointless and a moneymaking scam! (and I've never said that about the club before)

I take my hat off to anyone who has the time and the money for that Platinum option.

Gold members get a reduced booking fee for Home Cup tickets, thats all.

Also sounds like bronze and blue members get no points/priority towards away games.

Loyalty points will still be accumulated as normal.

Also doesn't explain how this fits in with the current points system.

Priority will go to membership members, then will run as loyalty points

Gold is just the auto-cup scheme - so its not really any different there. The Platinum is pretty handy for the few who do go to every away game. It also only makes money from those who ARENT STHs.

I'm all right. I bought my Blue membership for life years ago. Unfortunately whoevers life it was linked to, must have died! :down:

What's in it for the club with the Platinum membership

ROSM · Jul 2, 2013

So young seagulls is now a pay scheme to guarantee free invite to Xmas party and get priority.Interesting.

bn1&bn3 Albion · Jul 2, 2013

By getting the Platinum membership I could save about £25, hardly worth it..

They take a cut of away tickets they sell (i think its 10%)

People asked for an away season ticket scheme, I guess this is it.

I think it's 5% under league rules - seems fair enough for the admin involved, which is probably quite extensive for some games.

Bozza · Jul 2, 2013

Assuming everyone always sits in their allocated seat (I know, I know...), how do people in the Platinum category ensure they sit with their friends?

I think they get between 0% and 5% depending on the away club.

Yep just checked.its 5% which just about covers costs.

I was just thinking the same, not very straight forward unless there is a way on the system to link fan numbers to tickets for this scheme ?

So if you enrolled in cup scheme last season does this carry over so you are now a gold member or do you have to rejoin as a blue member.

Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
