What are the benefits of being a Gills season ticket holder? Only 4 friends for a fiver. No transfers to family and friends. No more free tickets. What are the benefits for loyal supporters who gave up their season ticket money for the Covid19 season. Before the new ticketing system was introduced the benefits were very good but now it seems that going digital has not really benefitted the paying customers.

Cheaper cost per game is a pretty big one?

Average cost per home game from £13
Chance to buy away tickets in advance of general sale
I'd imagine priority to buy tickets for cup games
Guaranteed seat for home games
What more is to be expected? Nice positive opening post, welcome to the board.

Give me a ‘D’,
Give me an ‘o’
Give me an ‘X’!
With that negative outlook, I don’t suppose you’d ever have any need to use the ‘friends for a fiver’ vouchers.

Yes but apart from cheap entry, guaranteed seats, priority cup tickets, priority away tickets, friends for a fiver, 20% off merchandise, sit next to the same moaners every week AND being able to proudly announce to all and sundry that you are a Gills ST holder, what else does a s/t get you?
Pfffffft! Not good enough.

But the petrol you used to get there will leave you about £50 out of pocket

Indeed. This winter it might almost be more cost effective to go to the World Cup than sit at home with the heating on!

When we’re only six points clear at the top in March, you get to show your disgust by throwing your season ticket on the pitch.
To all those critics of this post, perhaps re-read.
The context is clearly "changes" to STs.
And specifically:
"benefits to loyal supporters...gave up ST money for Covid season"
On the generality, the #1 benefit is cost per match - followed by convenience (not queuing).
Friends for a fiver has its place - but may be of no benefit to those living further away:
e.g. those friends either support Palace, Millwall, Charlton or a National side....
.....or with friends that don't follow football.
Personally, the only other benefit I'd value is a general discount on (over-priced) merchandise.
Surely some profit is better than no profit ?
But "Covid" ST holders have a point.
They have every right to expect a "refund" - even if "in kind" and over a few years.
