Ticket Priority Scheme

[Linwolf]

After I didn't renew my ST for last season, I opted to join the TPS instead.

This required a £50 joining fee plus the allocation of 7 match tickets. These gave me a guaranteed seat at matches, in a fairly crap seat it has to be said, with my first being the cracker against QPR.

I have today received the renewal offer, with the same joining fee of £50 and the same 7 match allocation, albeit with not so quite attractive opposition.

Since no doubt it will be possible to effectively pick and choose any game anyway (as it was in the prem as it turned out) there seems little point to this scheme, and of course paying for the privilege, so I will not be renewing.

What are other TPS users going to do?

Don`t blame you.
I joined years ago when we went up under David Jones and ended up in a corner flank of the SB which wasn`t a particularly good view.
Nowadays with the on-line system really can`t see any problem getting a ticket especially as we are now in the Championship.

Can't understand why they are offering TPS for this season as I will be amazed if we sell out more than 2 games this season. Both of those will be towards the end of the season if we are doing well.

You would have to be an idiot to join this for £50

 

[JR WAS KING]

I sometimes think the people who run our club live in cloud cuckoo land.

If one fan paid £50 to have the 'privilege' of purchasing 7 championship match tickets at full price, he would seriously need his head examining

 

[Del Boy]

Plus the £1.50 direct/credit card charge per ticket too on top

 

[Redditch Wolves]

The same exact people who pay for an away season ticket at a cost of £50.

Have had the TPS for the last few years. Wont be renewing for the coming season for the reasons already given by others.

What has really annoyed me is that for the pleasure of paying an extra £50 and guaranteeing the club your money for 7 games, they then give you the worst seats in Molineux.

 

[Burton Wolf]

Now this might amaze some people on here. But I have always regarded the TPS as a total rip off. Anyone that renews this season seriously needs to go to the doctors. When we were in the Prem there was some sort of argument for having one but not anymore.

 

[long ball man]

Membership at £20 including one free game and I think 1st game of season for £10 has to be way to go.

 

[Moira Stewart]

It's a disgrace that the club will even try to attempt to fleece people out of their hard earned money by trying this. There will be 10,000+ spare seats for many games next season and unless we get promoted I doubt a single game will sell out but for any special offers.

£7 extra per game on top of the inflated matchday prices for committing youself to over a quarter of our home games. Most clubs would reward that loyalty with a discount, not at Wolves.

Shameful.

 

[Dubwolf71]

Agree Burton. After the 2nd season in the Prem I was beginning to wonder about the value of it. Tickets for all games should be easily got this season.

Might spend the £50 on the new kit!

 

[jrpb-3]

I joined once in 03/04 when I thought it might be difficult to get tickets otherwise, havn't bothered since and have not had a problem getting tickets for any home game (if you buy soon after they go on sale then no problem)

charging £50 for scheme and then still charging the per ticket booking fee on top is just another ripoff

 

[kidder_wolf_II]

If the club can justify it I will buy one even though I can't afford it or get to many games. Now there's a challenge for you Moxey.

Good luck with that one.

If they can't justify it why the $$$$ run it?

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

I used to do TPS but got too expensive and no choice of games. Can't see the need for it any more as bigger ground, less attractive games and I've had no trouble getting tickets for any games in our 3 Prem seasons.

 

[reanswolf]

Wolves have obviously been under the impression that if they increase capacity, do worse on the pitch, make it absurdly costly and difficult to get tickets , it is good for the club.

A fine business strategy if ever I've seen one!

 

[Jameswwfc]

Can't understand why people get them either, never had any problems getting mates tickets for any games in the last 3 years in the premier.

That can be different when there are small allocations.
I've known plenty of people who forked out for an away season ticket and didn't bother to have a home one !

You can't get an away without a home. To renew an away is £35. I have renewed mine, some away grounds are very small in the chump. Brighton away if the game is a promotion decider will be worth the extra. It costs £35 less in fuel than getting to Molineux for me.

Yes you can, if you think about how to do it.
It was very common in our first Prem season in 2009....in fact a friend of mine went to every away game and not a single home match !
He just prefers the day/weekend trips to visit new away grounds/cities and was bored of the poor value of home matches.
If he had to pay the money anyway, he'd rather follow the team away instead.

Ive always had TPS since its inception and it has worked well - living so far away it has been worthwhile having guaranteed games to watch and not having to bother buying tickets.

However I think even I will be stopping the renewal this season - in part due to the games they have chosen..and partly because I guess that we'll only be filling the stadium on a very few occasions if ever - and they seem to have left any local derbies off the list!

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

I go to watch wolves not the opposition

Is that because you haven't been?

 

[Waggy's Boots]

That was always my view in the Prem and to an extent it will be in the Championship but I guess Id rather have the choice this season than just get what Im given.

Are you joking or is this a serious comment?
