Plymouth Tickets (H)

It's £2 a month. You'd think people are being forced to sell their soul to the devil.

Minimum wage is going up top £10.42 an hour in April. To join the Trust you need to work for about 10 mins to pay for the minimum monthly payment.

I’ve signed all my grandchildren up as Junior Grecians and that’s only £5 a year.
For that they get a birthday card, Christmas card and a present, besides other benefits that they can’t really take advantage of as they don’t live close to Exeter.
Presents in recent times have included ECFC branded training top, sports bag and drinks bottle.
It’s an absolute bargain.
Although I did take my eldest granddaughter to the Junior Grecians Christmas Party in 2006 when she was 5 months old.
One of my most treasured possessions is a photo of her wearing the entire Exeter City kit (I’d got a friend to knit) whilst being held by Stanno.
Also, I think I must have got close to being responsible for signing up the youngest member more recently as for one later grandchild I got to hear her name quickly so got her enrolled when she was just one or two days old.

100% agree. The Value of the Junior Grecian stuff does go well beyond the Free match tickets. A number of my son's friends also have the Junior Grecian subscriptions also. Imho Really good value and also a really good driver in helping younger fans become engaged with the club

Join The Trust or don't go? So to make sure you pay £24 Trust fees and £20 ticket which adds up to what exactly..........

No, join the Trust and get a ticket, or wait until they go on general sale and potentially get a ticket. If you want to guarantee a ticket, you join the Trust for just £2 a month, which is the ownership model of the club and has been for 20 years. It's not difficult to understand and any scheme you devise will have just as many, if not more, people moaning about it. The club aren't alienating anyone, they're following a scheme that stays true to their ethos of supporter ownership.

I have big reservations about the Trust and where that takes us going forward and really am not an acolyte (although certainly was back in 2003)

£24 over 12 months is peanuts, to the point where it’s not noticeable in any way. When I want to go go to games I get a ticket, I’ve never missed out on a game I’d like to watch in all those years.

Torquay away in the play offs, Man United at home, Argyle away, Liverpool at home x2, etc etc. Memories of those games was well worth it and no stress in obtaining entry. I’ve not been a season ticket holder since 04/05 as I have been away from Exeter and plan to be away again so I personally love the priority system itself, although perhaps slightly surprised it’s not evolved with a few more layers.

That said, as it stands the above makes a membership a necessity as a City fan who wants to see the best games - so can understand why they’ve stuck with it as the priority bait ensures the members numbers stay high imo. Without it there would be a huge drop off.

I'm the same. Before i had a season ticket i had no problems getting tickets for whatever game I want to. For various reasons I'm unable to renew for next season but will still get to as many games as i can. For a minimum of £24 a year, it's a no brainer.

 

[Red red]

I live in South Glos so I don’t buy a season ticket but I do pay £30 trust membership I am a gol member so I don’t normally have a problem.
It is a no brainier to buy the membership it helps the club and its good for me.
For what it’s worth I don’t go to any game against the green team .

 

[The 3 United's]

Is that the green team in South Glos. or the loans team down the A38?

We have this debate every year, and every time it's the same. If you want to guarentee getting tickets for in-demand games, join the Trust.

It's a free world, so your choice if you don't want to belong, but you won't then get the benefits of membership.

It's not going to change any time soon.

And nor should it.

I think this thread demonstrates that the vast majority are totally happy with the system.
