Very limited time to purchase in person is a bit of a joke.

Bit disappointed they removed Paypal as a payment option tbh.

Mmm, disappointing the flexi ticket doesn’t include all ticket home games (which this season probably only means Stourbr*dge) Having a season ticket elsewhere means that this is now very fixture date dependent on whether I buy or not. The perk of not having to worry about all ticket fixtures meant I planned to buy one this year. Now I doubt I will.
I have no idea how many season tickets the club sell (anyone?) but what I do know is lots of Yeltz fans also support other local bigger clubs and Halesowen is their second team essentially and that little perk would have made all the difference as to whether they buy a flexi or not.

Short sighted and ill advised IMHO

Bit confused! Are these posted out or collected from the ground?
If so, when?

I didnt realise that. Not that I can be bothered with the Derby hype anymore, but its a bit cheeky. The Flexi ticket, which Ive bought for the last few years is like a season ticket to me, cos I cant do every game because of work. Given the way its been shaped to pay for and put restrictions on, I dont think ill bother now.

The omission of PayPal, which means you can't pay in 3 instalments, is odd.

What happens if you purchase a Flexi ticket, and for whatever reason you have 3/4 games left at the end of the year, and the situation is that one of the last games happens to be Stour, and we also happen to fighting for the title, so the other last few games also become all-ticket due to expected high demand to attend games? A very unlikely scenario, admittedly, but would the club expect fans to rebuy tickets they have, in theory, already paid for? Reading social media comments there's a lot of confusion and questions being asked.

I have a full ST, so I'm not impacted, but I do feel for those who have flexi-tickets. They seem to have lost out a lot. A Flexi pays for 11 games. It is surely up to the supporter which games, and when, they use those tickets, which they have paid for.

I will be 60 in September so does anyone know if I am ok to buy the Concessions ticket?
If not and have to buy the full ticket from my turning 60 onwards I would actually be paying more per game than if I pay on gate.

Im sure others have asked this question in the past??

I think comms is still a bit of an issue, but here's the key things to say about the season ticket pricing.

1. The flexis were way too cheap, and have been for several seasons. Especially when paired off against a full season ticket - regular fans were buying flexis instead of full because of the pricing structure. It was in desperate need of balancing out.

2. The restriction on a Stour game seems contentious but I get this from the club's perspective. It's always a capacity crowd and they have to stay under the limit. In theory, there's nothing to stop people from buying a flexi season and then sharing it out amongst a dozen mates for the Stourbr*dge game. So they are doing this for the right reasons.

3. People are complaining about the club profiteering because of the above but that's nonsense. It's not like a Premier League club moving season tickets from £300 to £900 because they've got a captive audience. Halesowen's season tickets are still extremely good value (Redditch kindly did a graphic showing the cost of each team in the league) and then look at all this extra value that the club have added in to the full season ticket. Plus we have the best facilities and atmosphere in the entire league.

I completely get that money is tight for everyone - but I do think that the pricing is fair and reasonable. I remember a great comment on here when we were in the midst of Covid and people were wanting their £10 back for the Concord fixture - they said "some people know the cost of everything and the value of nothing". Think about what value you get from a season ticket following the Yeltz, it's money well spent.

If I were the club, after reading this, I would say stuff the Flexi tickets. You can just buy a full season ticket or pay for every individual game. They have actually put this in place to help people who can't make every game, but still give them the opportunity to save a little cash also. They can't do right for wrong. :-\
