I got offered a season ticket last week after being on the waiting list for 10 years or so. I was over the moon and have now bought one in the North Upper Stand for £895.
However, I was just looking at prices on the website and realised that if I wanted to, I could have bought a ticket to every home league game and the first 2 cup games for exactly the same price (perhaps even a few pounds cheaper).
The same goes with buying the multi-game packages. If I bought all 4 in the North Upper stand that would come to £169 x 4 = £676. Then if I bought the remaining games not included separately (Arsenal - £54, Man Utd - £54 and Saints - £41) the total comes to £825. Adding in buying tickets for the first 2 home cup games that again comes in at about the same rate as my season ticket (if not cheaper).
(You do get the £50 odd pound bronze membership fee back after you have purchased a season ticket but this still doesn't make the season ticket much cheaper in comparison).
So my question is, is the only benefit to having a season ticket that you can guarantee your seat (the same seat) at each match without having to worry? I thought the overall price might be cheaper but it doesn't seem to be.
I just get the feeling that a Bronze member who didn't have a season ticket yet but wanted to go to every game, could indeed do so if they wanted to (obviously providing that they were on the ball and logged on in time on the on-sale dates).
So are there any other benefits to getting a season ticket?
