Season card fee charitable donation

[Lewis wc]

Thoughts ?

Some transparency at last. 

 

That's around 70% of season ticket retaining a physical card.....

 

Whilst it didn't lead to the scraping of the fee, major kudos to the fan groups for working together on this. Without it - that £250k going to the club which is what a months wages for some of the inadequate players on our wage bill.

I’m quite pleased that so many people refused to give up their physical cards despite the fee. Potentially 16,000/22,500 fans will still have a physical card depending on the uptake from concession tickets. Bit of an f you to the club that and I love it.

[Cincinnati Fox]

So 10k  paid for a card, and with concessions receiving for free, so at least 50% are still on cards, so clearly people

want cards. And for what!! 250k! And of course the resale revenue they will try and get.
 

Oh, and 250k pays Danny Ward for just over a month!

[SemperEadem]

A win for the fanbase, albeit for a season.

[Vlad the Fox]

So the fans still want the physical card. Listen to YOUR customers Leicester.

Is this even legal. Forced “donations”. 
 

Interesting in the story it says “fee” not donation, so again, what’s the fee for? Etc etc etc

[gw_leics772]

I get that groups were calling for this info and rghtly so but seeing this I just thought "oh **** off Leicester" 

 

Unfortunately it is now just another reminder of them taking the piss. 

 

I'd almost got over it 😂

Well, it’s not. A fee has been paid for the physical card and the club have pledged to donate the revenue to a charity. 
 

If I’m paid my salary and I donate a percentage of it to a charity, my employer doesn’t consider it their own donation.

Think you hit the nail on the head here. As they are calling it a 'fee' and not a donation there is no wrong doing by the club in that sense. 

 

The fact they have made fans pay £25 for the club in the first place is the thing that is wrong. 

[VLC86]

Outstanding stuff, a bit pissed off I went for a digital one on the basis it would be forced next season anyway. Can’t see them doing that now.

[StanSP]

Club are intent on going digital. 

 

This won't make a jot of difference for future seasons, sadly. Not to say that the fan groups haven't done well, but club are so driven to go digital that next season they'll just force it, and not even have physical card as an option. 

 

They'll just use the excuse that enough fans by their standards are opting for mobile and we're 'moving in that direction'. 

[goody2028]

Haha that’s brilliant.

Going to be interesting to see how it plays out as that for me is a statement by the fans.

I 100% agree. I'm not trying to diminish or negate what the fans have done. Just that I think the club have such a hard on for going mobile that whatever happens/happened this season, they'll still push ahead with mobile ticketing.

It’d be great if the service actually worked. Been trying to add Rainbows for 10 minutes

Did you have to complete the endless jigsaw puzzles too? Didn’t work for me either so I gave up. They can split it between the 4 for me.

Dear LCFC.. your customers want physical cards.. please listen to us!!

[Wymsey]

Are they still going to use the clappers?..

[davieG]

Not working.

 

I wonder if that's the plan with the physical cards, they wont work so you're forced to go digital until they've fixed them.

I would think so. The saving of the environment fad is over and the 8 months without clappers made all the difference.

This is actually a good point!

The club state that electronic ticketing on mobile devices are part of their sustainability drive. But how can they possibly justify the cringe clappers if sustainability is such a big issue.

Weird.. obviously doesn't fit the rhetoric!!

Booooo

After scrolling past tickets for 11 workshops on mobile ticketing and completing around 18 jigsaws, I am still no closer to having my chosen charity confirmed.
