Depends. If Blackpool stay up and we get another good away fixture date, then I might consider it!

Not sure yet. I have got most of my cash back via discount from the club shop. Add to that the wallet, keyring and pen I think I have had value for money. Add to that the fact that I will be virtually guaranteed a ticket for Blackpool I think it was worth every penny. ;D

I believe that Scholes is also selling tartan paint and sky hooks for today's real gullible idiot sharp punter.

To be honest 30 quid is sod all at the mo so don't mind paying it. 30 quid isn't even a night out with the lads anymore. It will be well worth it for the Blackpool ticket. I have only been able to get to 2 away games so far this season so this is a better system for me to get my ticket. If it was on away games attended I would be shafted so it is well worth it to me. |

I'm glad I had one this year but there is no way on earth I would ever actually buy one! Paying £50 for the privelidge of being able to pay another £50 to watch Stoke play away to Chelsea Liverpool or MnaUre isn't good value for money imo.
How they can dress this up as a good thing for fans is staggering

But tones pre match bigging up of blackpool will no doubt be priceless as per usual. |

After a long spell of going anywhere and everywhere with Stoke the novelty of the so called "big games" against the top four is beginning to wear off so I'm not sure how vital being in possession of the card will be. I'd much prefer to go to Wigan than The Shit for example. |

I am not arsed who we are playing but it is peace of mind for me that I can get tickets for the games I am able to attend. As you say I don't think we have sold out before general sale at all so far but you never know. As I have said 30 quid is worth every penny just for the peace of mind. |

It is not just about the game for me either although it is pretty important  . For me it is all about the whole day out. That can sometimes be priceless. ;D |

I'm getting one but will massively pick and choose which games to go to. Can't justify paying the money to go most away games given the way we play.

Treated like a leper for seven and a half years because I wouldn't get a ID Card (True Supporter Card) then this. I don't bother anymore, I once went everywhere for decades but Stoke cured me of that.

The Plat card suits my needs with the ticket priority so I choose to get one. As I said 30 quid get ya nowt these days. Well maybe a Stoke City Platinum card. |

Went to 9 away games last year curtesy of careful queing in the cold and rain at the Brit. Got the pltinum card this season to make things a little less stressful and feel like i've been nobbled really. Went to Man U and Sunderland, not for glory hunting but mainly because me and the other half hadn't been there last season and wanted to try and see all the prem grounds. However its all gone a bit down hill really. Due to performance I don't fancy paying to go away and the home shirts a bit poor although I've had an away one. Comparing that to last year when my girlfriend and I had 5 shirts between us, jumpers etc I don't think I'll bother next year. Although the presentation box was rather nice its stuck in a draw rather than being pride of place on the mantle piece.Just hope next season the home strip improves as do the away perfomances!

I paid £250 for each of my family members to have a Platinum Plus card. My Mummy and Daddy also paid £100 for 2.
I have to say they are worth every penny.
Peace of mind my friends, peace of mind.
I basically get a reasonable sized window where I know I will definitely get them without being in a big fuck off phone queue.
Some people put in for the foundation, some for half time draw tickeeeets, some to have dinner with players or a wank off the chairman night. I'll stick with this.

Post by leicspotter on Feb 17, 2011 18:56:54 GMT
With or without the card we pay a "small fortune" to follow the Potters home & away. Tickets, travel, refreshments etc so for many I guess it woulld be worth the extra £50 to have the 'luxury' of getting tickets easily. Strangely, on many occasions, the tickets I have been able to get have not been as good as those that Gold members have bought later!?  I think the restriction on the first release of tickets is totally wrong. Why can't we have the pick of ALL the away section? |

Noooo, not a chance - never had a problem getting tickets for away games and its just a money making scam.

Fuck me thats a lot of cash for effectively fuck all. I cant say ive had any long waits down the ground or on the phone. I dont know anyone thats had said problems either I really do think its a bullshit money spinning excercise bu whatever floats your boat i guess |
