    The idea of a discount if you purchased your season ticket early was to encourage fans to commit for the forthcoming season whilst the current season was still been played out. The membership scheme did away with all of that.
    Personally I'd sooner pay up front because I don't like direct debits. But I'm old fashioned.

    "Bank interest", punchline of the week!
    I always paid in full when it was available and always will. That said, Mrs Two has bought my pass for me for Christmas. To save Rovertiger the bother, she thinks it's Christmas when I'm out of the house. :emoticon-0111-blush

    I think they've got the match day pricing bang on, great move.

    Presumably no issue with the away fans £20's plenty either, as the North tickets are already £20.

    The pricing for memberships and matchday tickets seems spot on to me
    not many excuses left for people not to actually go to games

    Absolutely, yet one of the first replies to the club on social media was a bloke asking 'when will you be announcing the match savers'. Tickets at £20 and memberships at an amazing value price and people still want an incentive to commit to coming to a handful of games.

    They will be the first to pay £20 if we drew Liverpool in the Cup though, no savers needed for that game!!

    I have a Monzo account which I transfer an amount into each month from my business as my 'wage'. With Monzo you have pots which your rounded up spends can go into. All month long anything I buy it rounds up to the next pound and puts the 'change' in a pot I use a pot to pay for my City memberships. It feels like you're not even paying for it some months as it is either covered or only needs to draw in a tenner or so from my main account.

    People who want to pay up front could open an online account, put the money in and have it on a monthly from a set aside pot. No big drama really, I feel like they are just giving the club additional hassle for no reason. As OLM I think pointed out, it is additional admin for the club when people pay in one lump some and direct debits allow them to manage their cash flow much better. I kind of get it with really old people who manage their money in a very different way.

    I enquired by phone. I want a season ticket paid in full at once. As I hit 65 in mid August I can apply for the reduced rate. I asked about buying over the phone and how to supply evidence of hitting that age, but the lady on the phone said 'no need', which I found a bit strange. Apparently if the steward suspected I was fiddling, I'd be challenged. To me thats a very odd way of managing the system.

    We had people saying they were being ripped off when we first got promoted to the PL as prices for season tickets should have been reduced as there were less games in the PL. You sometimes despair at the attitude of some people in Hull.

    Could open an online account but aren't going to. Don't forget I could peg it before we even play a match, and the cash they've got for my pass is non-refundable. Also because the d/d price rise hasn't yet come in my pass worked out more expensive by paying in full, so I've actually paid for their 'additional hassle'. All that said, City are happy to take cash upfront, I'm happy to pay it, anyone that doesn't like this can pay for their pass however they like, and feel free to get stuffed! :emoticon-0100-smile

    Any idea where we are now on membership sales? With all the incomings it'd be disappointing not to hit 14-15k.

    It would be interesting to know how many on-the-days there were on average last year.

    Given that the remaining tickets will be in less preferable areas like the lower rows or corners of the ground. I think plenty will hold off buying season passes until the upper west stand is open.
    Having sat up there, i know the view is very good
