Flexi 3 offer - complete waste of time

chrisg · Jan 18, 2016

The new Flexi 3 ticket offer is a complete waste of time. One priority A, B and C ticket in the North Stand or South Stand where the offer allows seats, will cost an adult £87 if bought in 3 separate match tickets.
The new deal is for £85 - a massive saving of £2, for paying up front.

Seeing as the club are offering university students a great offer of 3 matches and a home shirt for £50, they could have at least made the Flexi 3 offer tempting, with the price set at £70 to at least tempt people to buy up front!

What price would others think this deal should have been set at, to tempt people to buy up front?

It's fair comment IMO. What is the point of that offer?

Assume also a saving on admin fees as only one charged as opposed to three, so the saving is slightly more.

Print at home tickets are free from charges, so it won't be that.

If you buy as kids' tickets can you upgrade for a minimal fee? :moo:

Includes bronze priority membership. May tempt premier league season ticket hunters to place their bets come March?

I bought a FLEXI 4 earlier in the season and they didnt even charge to have the tickets sent each time by post which they usually do.

If you bought the package and got tickets in the West Lower A block a cat a would cost £38 , a cat b £36 or £34? and cat c £32 so you would be saving £19 ish

When was this 3 games and a home shirt for £50 announced? I've still got my uni of Brighton card without an expiry date...

On the other hand if you're a mum or dad with two U10 kids then you can see three matches of your choosing for average of £13 each including travel. Pretty good for an exciting end to the season

A home shirt is £45 so this deal is actually three matches for £5! What a bargain.

nwgull · Jan 19, 2016

The earlier flexi 4 offer seemed good value at £100, wasn't it? This seems a bit crap; the student offset however is virtually giving tickets away!

CHAPPERS · Jan 19, 2016

That's an excellent deal for students.

If they are like this for the shirt and watching Huddersfield, roll on next years Palace game.

Yeah that's right - the 'best' seats you can get on the flexi 3 are ends of west lower - assuming you'd want to go to 3 of the remaining matches you'll save yourself roughly 5 or 6 quid per ticket.

I have a few issues with the offer. Firstly I don't think it's generous enough - a category C ST holder is paying roughly £14 a match, so there is a large way to discount before you start eroding the value of the ST and pissing off ST holders.

Secondly, If I were the club I wouldn't limit the categoy of the match choice. We haven't sold out W1A or W1B at any point this season so there is definitely spare capacity; plus adding the match restriction just adds complexity to the offer, and makes it more of a considered purchase rather than someone just seeing a deal and going for it.

Thirdly it looks miserly when compared to other offers such as the Student deal.

I'm not complaining - it's good that the club has these commercial initiatives.

When's that Chelsea fan next to you missing a game and letting me see the world from ESU?
