dreadful installment plan of 6% interest and £28 service fee, wanting the full amount of £400-500 (depending where you sit) for a season ticket even though we dont know how many games we will attend and waiting a year for a refund? what if we are in this situation next year? then what happens with the money? Charges per minute to call the box office and some people have been waiting over a hour, what is it 20p a minute? its not been very well thought out and seems like total GREED. Times are hard, people have lost jobs / struggle with money due to this man made virus. Simple option would be to offer us a "pay as you go" season ticket where we pay season ticket prices per game so it wont hit the bank so hard. Please tell me whats wrong with that? I think other clubs are doing this? i myself have contacted the club regarding this and have had no reply at all. As many people should contact the club / parish over this, has anyone had a successful reply? Im waiting for the people to stick up for the board regarding this but many ive spoke to and when i look online are against this. Edited by paceo (09 Sep 2020 5.37am)

I truly understand and agree. The board should reanalyze this properly. Just one remark you're completely wrong about "man made virus". There's plenty of scientific evidence that isn't true even if we repeat it often... Just like the iraquian chemical warfare! Those who study virology and immunology have no doubt about that. Everything else it's a mix bag of fear, paranoia, conspiracy delusion and populism speach, none of those rigourous science. Edited by Portuguese (09 Sep 2020 7.39am)

I do not agree with paying the ST in full when we will likely receive a partial refund at the end. This makes little sense to me. However, the price is the price. If what is on offer is unreasonable, you don’t have to buy a season ticket. Also, regarding the pay monthly instalments. Again, paying interest on anything is not ideal. But if that is the rate....it’s the rate. You can still pay up in full at 0%, We have such a complaining culture. Parish is not saying YOU HAVE TO BUY A SEASON TICKET. The club sets the price and if you don’t like it or you think it’s too expensive, you don’t buy one and you can move on. It’s simple. The club has already taken money and processed ST. It’s unlikely to change its approach as it would involve refunding or amending all the fans who have already paid.

YOU are exactly the type and reason why we and people here and there get walked all over. How many civic liberties were you happy to give away? Would you be ok for wine and any alcohol to be banned throughout the winter like it has been in South Africa, along with fags, to make sure nobody gets invited round to someone’s house? You’re effectively sticking up for 2 billionaires and however many multi millionaires to use fans for an interest free loan rather than their own money, which incidentally they didn’t themselves anyway after borrowing money from a bank down under wasn’t it? They’re taking the p1ss and it’s typically lazy, incompetent Palace and now Prem level arrogon their part. They probably don’t have anyone in-house who can extract from their own database or even reduce amounts. I bet if they reduced it to a more reasonable percentage to watch 25% of matches people may have not been as bothered. £500? Times 2? Plus kids? Seriously? Edited by Rudi Hedman (09 Sep 2020 11.38am)

Ha Ha, how is it Ali Campbells fault?... hes right if you don't like whats on offer don't buy it. The club still has to exist and pay its way. And as for supporting 2 billionaires and multi millionaires, we all do that, through choice, we are not being forced too.

Edited by Portuguese (09 Sep 2020 7.39am) At the reluctance of high-jacking this thread, there is no definitive evidence to suggest this was not 'man-made', but that equally doesn't mean it was a deliberate leak. In fact, leading scientists who aren't backed by political donations have said the most LIKELY circumstance is that it was artificially tampered with in a lab. The best example being the artificial insertion of certain proteins in the cell. Please don't be so dismissive, and spread false information in a time where we're already inundated with such. Onto the Palace topic, really is a shame the way the club has handled it. The best way to solve would be through a circulated petition that garners signatories from people with clout. Sadly, I still don't see the club budging... The Parish profit vehicle chugs on

I reckon it's a great scheme to be able to pay installments & get the points like everyone else is a God send & much cheaper than buying selected tickets throughout the season & you can sell your tickets for games you cant get to at face value & lessen the cost. I know it's likely that we won't all get to many if any games but the monies left over will go to 21/22 seasons renewal so am ok with it all & fees aren't that bad considering there's not any price increase anyway.
