Its 12 months, unless you're a new sth this season and your 1st payment was around June?

Could not afford it up front , i would have to stop giving money to whales and snow leopards so no i would not renew
This argument only works if there is a greater demand for seats than there are seats. At the moment it's easy to get a ticket for any game and even promotion to the Premiership would probably produce plenty of non-sold out games.
Personally, if it's a problem to the club, which I can't see how it can be as they pay wages etc monthly so surely a steady flow of income each month helps ( the interest earned from having all the money up front would surely be negated by less season ticket holders and more casual match by match fans ), then they should charge a reasonable admin fee.

They won't.
It's the very reason that at least 6 people I know are season ticket holders.
In fact, Palace are starting it next year as they recognise this is EXACTLY the reason why we have so many ST holders, and I happen to know that Steve Browett (The Fat one of CPFC2010) took advice from Tony on how to set it up.

Credit card the payment and move it over to an interest free card for 24 months!!!!!
Ive heard its the direct debit payers that won't sit down!

I'm not sure you understand what a DD is ? How is it "the never never" ? Does that mean I pay for my gas on the never never ? If you stop paying they cancel your season ticket - you're not entering into a credit agreement as far as I know.
As for the drip feed each month - you know it's automatic don't you ? Do don't actually have to do anything other than ensure there are funds to cover it and as most of us are paid monthly that's not likely to be a hardship.
[MENTION=70]Easy 10[/MENTION] is right. Frankly it is astonishing that so few clubs have a DD scheme. There is no chance of it being abandoned. It's actually beneficial to both parties - with most paying fans being STHs, it means the club can financially plan properly, and any walk-up trade is just gravy. From the fans' point of view, we get an affordable way to pay and can theoretically cancel at any time without losing the value of an entire season ticket, meaning it is in the club's interest not to piss off it's fan base.

Quite.
£40 a month now - comfortable and acceptable.
Get promotion... £600 in one go? Nein danke.
Where's the logic in that?

That about sums it up and many will agree, which I am sure that TB and co are aware of.

But on the whole, they might get 10,000 season ticket holders with option B, whereas they may get 18,000 with option A.

Simple fact is the club can factor in the money lost from fan A by asking for a bigger monthly instalment than £ 500 devided by 12, and in any case they probably do that already when they determine the overall season ticket price using the 12 month DD option. But the numbers aren't even that simple because fan A, being more committed, is much more likely to purchase 'add ons' like programme and merchandise than fan B would.......

Why would they? Commercial suicide! No business who's product costs upwards of a few hundred quid would ever dream of not providing credit terms.
Now, charging interest on those paying by DD.... I can see that happening!
Were they ever to do that I'd probably scale back the summer holiday, pay upfront and then save over the season for next year rather than pay "excessive" charges or carry on by instalments if it were a "reasonable" amount.

Why is our forum clever enough to say "you must wait 60s between posts" but not clever enough to say "I'm warning you that you must wait 60s between posts, but I'll post it anyway so you look like a tw*t who double posts!"

What I mean by the never never is that its a continuous payment over 12 months, this year next year, you never stop paying.
All my bills are paid for by DD, so have an idea as to what they are, some of mine fixed some variable depending on whether the bill is a fixed amount or changeable,and invariably monthly.

Listen to me!!!
Did they not just add £30 quid a season on for 'travel' even though many travelling from the east saw no benefit?A £24 annual administration fee would only be an extra couple of quid a month

Silly old bat
No, I started right at the beginning but didn't pay in Feb & Mar so I assumed it worked like Council Tax over 10 months.
