ITS THE JANUARY SALES BUT WHAT A GAMBLE

Wed Dec 16, 2009 2:18 pm

Xmas has come early for CARDIFF CITY TODAY.

The Ticket office was under siege today with ticket Sales for Leicester and Plymouth home plus Peterborough away :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Also hundreds wanting Next Seasons ticket offer 5 year deal and if we get promoted you dont pay for the first season in the Premier, I have to admit that is the bargain of the century for the fans.

Peter Ridsdale this is it, one last gamble, this will pay all the wages of around £200,000 a week till the New Year.
THEN WE PREY THAT The Malaysians/Sullivan or some one finally buys us out or we are BUST.

THAT IS IT IN A NUT SHELL.

Guff,This is a bargain for the Fans, the money is to keep the club going till Jan 2010, We will only buy new players if we get NEW INVESTORS and WILL ONLY SURVIVE THE SEASON IF THEY INVEST.

As long as you dont pay by cash or cheque your season ticket money is insured especially if you pay by Visa, I will buy mine now.

I've done the same. Maybe we'll get our refund in 5 monthly instalments :lol:

I'm not really sure what the gamble is. I get to see the team I love for the same price for the next 5 seasons. The only gamble is if I get locked out....

only way id be able to take up the renewed season ticket offer this time of year (before 31st), would be paying monthly, but surely that defeats the object of whats the club are after, although i supose it all adds up...??

I think Zebra Finance pay up front to the club in this sort of arrangement don't they ? The credit agreement you have would be with them and not the club, Zebra probably just take a cut from the money they pay the club. I don't know the details of this arrangement but can't see the benefit for the club otherwise.

Yeah, I see what you mean, but I'm sure others are paying by cash, so maybe that's where it's coming from? I'm in the same boat as you, so my repayments start in January

Milly...

all you need to do is go down and apply for the tickets...book which seat/s you want and tell them you want to pay by installments starting at a date in January that suits you...if you do that you will get all the privledges of this deal....no body gets turned down no matter the alternative is to get a Tesco interest free credit card( if there is still time) and put it on that...you will be fully insured aswell then...

Exactly!

Zebra finance provide CCFC with the money up front. Your monthly agreement is with them - and will show on your bank statement.

Even if the worse was to happen over the next month or 2 and you were to lose SOME money - is that really a massive loss?
Personally, i don't think theres a problem at all, im doing mine over 10 months for two reasons - 1, i prefer the lower payments even though there is interests, 2, if anything does go tits up over the next month or two - i just cancel my direct debit and bite the bullet? a couple of months payments won't kill me......

Although - it is a great offer from the club, a free season of premiership football is fantastic! lets just hope we can get 10,000 people signed up quick smart! 6500 to go apparently. :ayatollah:

f*cking great deal (Its a no brainer anything you buy over 50 notes is insured by the credit card)

I was going to pay by debit card. I assume I wouldn't be protected if it all went tits up on debit card?

When you say tits up, what do you mean?

Say if, in a worst case scenario, Zebra or the club went under. Or something of a similar nature. I know that is highly unlikely but I'd rather be prepared for any scenario.
