Main Stand half-season ticket is £299 - and you get 12 games for that. That works out at £24.99 per match.
A 'massive' saving, considering the average price of match tickets is about £25 anyway

Too expensive. Even the cheaper tickets work out at £18 approx.
Must be getting the pennes in for Bills January spending spree :blush:

I was considering getting one. I plan on getting a ST next season, and I assumed that buying a half-season ticket would mean I could get next year's ST at the lower 'renewal' price. Doesn't seem worth it though, really.

More expensive than what i expected them to be.
Agree prices seem not much of a discount. Could understand if more high demand home games (e.g. Newcastle, Derby, Leicester) were 2nd half of season, but looking at fixture list seems to be front loaded. Suppose plus point is they nearly all remaining games appear winnable so could be exciting run in.

It's interesting that they are charging those prices given that we have, or will have already played Derby, Leicester and Newcastle at home. They are surely the big pulls for many home supporters so a smaller price would have made more sense.
Having said that, they are running a business and if we want them to spend money in Jan, etc. it might just work out for the best.

Tough balancing act for the club, they can't make them too competitive otherwise it isn't fair to those of us who committed before the season started, given we have - in the views of most of us - overperformed so far this season I imagine the club are looking to cash in on goodwill as a result of that.

Given that new season tickets in July cost up to £517 and you are getting more than half a season (12 matches) the club have only loaded £30 on to the price, or £2.50 per game.
I don't think that's too bad really.

I think it's nearer £40 they have put on it.
But it needs to be considered relative to the price a match day ticket. £24.99 per match in the Main Stand is very steep, considering that's about the average price of a match day ticket as it is. So, where's the incentive to fork out £299 in one go if it doesn't really save you any money?

In terms of average price per ticket it's not that far off a full season ticket.
Presumably half season ticket holders will be elevated in away ticket priority?

Exactly.
If Forest want to make some money for a January spending spree, then I hardly think this is the right way of going about it. I mean, why commit to every game for about the same price at it would be to pick and choose, thus saving yourself money if you can't make one or two of them?
This isn't a balancing act. It's another in a long line of f*** ups by Marther.

Half the thing of having a season ticket for me is just turning up to the same seat and forgetting about buying tickets for a year. The same bonus is there for these ones, only half as good.

Only a 'bonus' if you're not sat next to an arsehole for the season. You should ask the bloke who sits next to me whether he thinks it's a bonus.
By the way, I heard that Forest run a monthly pay scheme for full season tickets. Anyone know what the interest is like on these as I'm going to find it a bit tough retaining my seat when Premiership prices kick in next summer?

No risk of that for me old chap, I sit in Upper Brian Clough Stand, so all the seats around me look like this when occupied ...
In all seriousness, the bloke who sits behind us is a bit of a ring piece. He starts every sentence with "I tell you what right", relays just about everything Colin Fray says in his ear, and contradicts himself with things like "they've got nothing in attack" followed by "they'll score any minute".
But then, its all part of the fun of match day to me, can't help but laugh. And, to balance things, the bloke who sits next to me talks a lot of sense. Since I haven't got the best eye for the game, I find his mumblings really useful. He's saved me standing up to celebrate an offside goal once or twice

It could be worse. I've got a mate up there that comes back from every match with bits of mint humbug in his hair from the guy behind him that spits out his sweets every five minutes shouting 'Bloody rubbish' at whichever Forest player has failed to complete a pass.
It's not you is it? :wink:

Hmm, funnily enough "bloody rubbish" is the bloke next to me's fave phrase. That said, I always thought his breath smelt of dead squirrel, so that's a no on the mint front I'd think.

Its not to bad I took it out this season my ST should have cost £349.
Instead I pay 10 monthly payments of £37.90 so will end up paying £379 only costing 20 pound for the year so quite reasonable.

Thanks for that.
In that case, I stuff my face with humble pie as that is very reasonable offer by the club.

Its not actually run by the club but a company called Zebre finance, the club have nothing to do with it apart from provide and send off the applicaton forms.

Yeah - maybe so - but it's hard to say just yet.
With the NFFC Membership, they guarantee you will have the opportunity to save at least £20 over the course of the season.
It might work out that NFFC members can save much more than this, making the price of the half season-tickets seem even more steep.

But add that to the hassle of remembering to buy tickets for every game and it soon becomes a ball ache.
Unless you suffer from some serious memory issues are you realy going to forget to buy tickets?
got visions of people turning up at the turnstiles looking all confused becuase they had forgotten to buy a ticket.
the one thing that annoys me a bit with the forest membership is season ticket holders dont get the same discounts for buying extra tickets, I often buy tickets for the wife next to my season ticket and as of yet have never been given the price that the membership scheme gives them
