Season Ticket Renewal - A Little Warning : Fri Jul 20, 2012 4:01 pm
I went to Langtree Park today to renew my season ticket. I pay by direct debit. I was told that if I renewed today - to pay by direct debit again for the 2013 season - I would have to pay concurrent with my present direct debit until the year is up on my present direct debit. In other words, I would be paying two direct debits at the same time until the 2012 one is finished. While I was very early in getting signed up last year and so this would only involve one month's double payment, some people signed later and so may have to pay two DDs for a few months if they want to get the discount. Apparently Saints are doing this in order to 'encourage' everyone to start their DDs at the same time. However, so far as I can see there is no warning of this on any of the promotional material.I hadn't given any thought to this before I went to the stadium as I just assumed it would be like delayed payments on furniture or something: the new DD would kick in when the old was done, even though I signed up for the new one now. Other people may be more clued up than me but for those who aren't I just thought I'd let them know so that they are prepared before they renew.
