Businesses value cash flow and will often give discount on payments made for better payment terms and this is why the discount is made for early bird purchases. It sets them up for the summer to get an idea what renewals are going to be like, which can give a better indication of what they have to spend in transfer market. instead of not knowing and people holding out waiting to see what league we are in and who is signed. Anyone who takes early bird has same 1 year to save up for the next ticket so its not like its a shock bill, and for every person that isn't in as good as cash position in that month as they are a few months later, you would probably find the number is similar for people who would have been better off to pay for it during the early bird period. That's also a period of the year that people who get bonus from work may get it paid as well. You could make same argument if people rather pay late july/august. What ever month will suit some people and not suit others as you cant please everyone. At least they are giving people a discount for early renewals, rather than just offering the standard prices for renewals and no early bird discount. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The early bird discount is a lot more than the standard price most Championship clubs are paying for their season tickets, it should be the same price for any Boro fan regardless of whether they are a newcomer or whenever they decide to take it out, I totally disagree with it and always have and thats my opinion, so we will agree to disagree.

So someone who been going for 10 years will always be paying less than someone of 2 years. When I used to have my ticket it was cheaper for someone I knew who had a ticket for dozen plus years than was for me and my son to get a ticket in family end Link to post Share on other sites
