Football Season Tickets

[Paul.B]

Bit left field this question! Our local footie club offer big discounts for buying next years season ticket now. My quesion is, if I buy now and the club goes into administration, do I loose my cash?

The saving is big enough to want to buy now rather than wait 'till the new season but what are the risks?

There's a difference between going into administration on going bust. If they go bust, then that's the end of the club really and you'd be lucky to get your money back. If they go into administration, then they would likely still play games so you'd still get value from the ticket.

would it not be covered if you pay by credit card?

credit card - my mates gym went bust a few months after he had joined (he paid a year in advance) and he got the lot back

Some football clubs won't accept credit cards or will charge you a lot more for buying the season ticket with one. This is because the credit card companies don't release all the payment to the clubs in one go, rather they give them so much a month over the year.

The credit card companies brought this in because of the number of clubs going bump & the card companies getting stung.

Do ya think they may be in danger then

Took the advise and paid on the Credit Card. I should at least get some come back. If they actually go bust I would be miffed!!

Cheers all.

You could do that for the loose change in yer turn-ups mate. You'd get involved in one hell of a board room battle with the holdings company tho'


Bring back Sir Clive and 'Arry I say.
