Would suggest it is only full paying adult season tickets that qualify. Cant quite understand the reasoning if this is the case. Surely it shouldn't matter who is buying the 5 pound ticket 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's not the person who's bought the season ticket who is benefiting. Surely if the point was to encourage more people to attend it doesn't matter as everyone who buys the 5 pound ticket gets in for a fiver. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but it is the only reason I can think of for it being this way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted October 27, 2022 Author Share Posted October 27, 2022 I mean, it was openly and freely available information that this perk would be available only to adult season ticket holders. At no point was it ever mentioned that it would be available to anyone else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am an adult season ticket holder, why would a pensioner who has supported Rovers for over 40 years be treated any different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted October 27, 2022 Author Share Posted October 27, 2022 (edited) You wouldn’t take out a phone contract for £25 a month, then complain that the guy who pays £40 a month got free AirPods and you didn’t? Pay more, get perks. Pretty standard across all industries. Edited October 27, 2022 by Hank Scorpio 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the club feel they dont want the extra £5 I would have paid to bring a friend who doesn't normally go to the Rovers that's fine with me it's there monetary loss. To discriminate against pensioners as seems to be suggested because they pay an agreed ammount for an adult season ticket appears to be very wrong on many fronts. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I find plenty to moan about when it comes to the Rovers, but I'm not really seeing that this is really that big a deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In what way is giving pensioners a £105 discount on a season ticket “discrimination”? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you can bring a friend for a fiver a couple months in? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAR Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Agreed if you read this carefully, you would see that it only applied to a limited group of s/t holders. If you just glanced at it , you would assume that it applied to all adults. It is after all a marketing ploy to increase attendances so why would anyone choose to limit the possible increase in attendance & income to the club ? As usual we will have plenty of empty seats on Saturday. Many of us old gits have carried out the necessary but unglamourous work of cleaning seats, painting etc. How is it a perk to invite new people to give Rovers a try? Could I suggest that anyone annoyed by this short-sighted decision ring or email Pratt Street tomorrow to suggest that this scheme would be better by including us all and let kids invite a pal to come for a £1. Sales initiatives from Rovers are rarer than hens' teeth so please stay ultra polite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird you didn't bring this up at the start of the season when buying your ticket. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
