And back on the Official Site, the Season ticket Promo


'COME HOME TO LOFTUS ROAD'
Posted on: Wed 21 Apr 2010

Queens Park Rangers has launched a new Season Ticket scheme that is designed to significantly benefit Season Ticket Holders.

The Club has kept the matchday prices the same as last year, and QPR Season Ticket Holders could save up to a mouth-watering 15 per-cent on their Season Ticket thanks to the Club's unique deal for the 2010/11 campaign.

After thorough diligence and consultation with various fan groups over the last few weeks, the Club is delighted to announce details of the new and unique scheme, which the Club believes will provide great value for money for QPR supporters.

R's fans who purchase a Season Ticket between now and the Early Bird deadline of May 17th 2010 will be entitled to at least a 10 per-cent saving on standard prices.

In addition, fans will be guaranteed a further five per-cent saving should the Club reach their intended target of 9,000 Season Ticket Holders before the first league fixture of the 2010/11 season in August. Supporters will be informed of how many sales have been made via www.qpr.co.uk, with weekly updates provided from the start of June. Should the 9,000 figure be hit, supporters will be able to claim their discount, in the form of voucher (which can be exchanged for cash) from the QPR Box Office before the end of 2010.

Moreover, the Club has finalised a deal with Zebra Finance, which will allow Season Ticket Holders to pay for their Season Ticket over a three month period, at zero per-cent interest.

The Club has also introduced special offers for Families in the QPR Family Stand. For example, a family of four can sit in our designated Family Stand in the Lower Loft for as little as £999.00.

Finally, QPR is introducing a Westfield Reward scheme, whereby Season Ticket Holders will be entitled to substantial discounts in various stores at the Westfield Shopping Centre. A few select stores have partnered with QPR on the initiative already, and more stores will be added to the scheme before the start of the 2010/11 season.

In summary, the major benefits of the new scheme are:

*A guaranteed 10 per-cent Early Bird saving on standard prices

*A possible further five per-cent saving, should the Club sell 9,000 Season Tickets for all Season Ticket Holders

*A flexible payment scheme over three months, at zero per-cent interest

*Various family schemes, looking at rewarding families

*Westfield Rewards Scheme, with various stores offering substantial discounts

*Free ticket for the Carling Cup First Round, if QPR are drawn at home

*Improved facilities at the Ellerslie Road stand, including new betting kiosks

*Reduced prices (from Gold to Silver) in parts of blocks PU and JU in the Loft Upper

*Free scarf for Early Bird Season Ticket Holders - The '1882 Club' scarf has been designed and made especially for Season Ticket Holders, and will not be available to buy anywhere else

*Automatically become a member of the Official Supporters Club

*Season Ticket replacement just £10 - a reduction of £40 from last season

*The 'New' QPR Pre-Paid Visa Card - The QPR card is a reloadable Prepaid Visa card. QPR card holders will be automatically entered into exclusive prize draws and competitions throughout the season

QPR Chairman, Ishan Saksena, said: "I have always believed that the heart and soul of QPR rests among the fans and supporters of the Club. The management team wanted to take this opportunity to provide a scheme that rewards the QPR fans for their loyalty and continued support.

"The new Season Ticket scheme has been designed to be more affordable and flexible, and to promote the family atmosphere that is the lifeblood of QPR's heritage. I felt it imperative to offer attractive options as part of the new Season Ticket campaign that would encourage families to enjoy the match-day experience together.

"The scheme has some unique incentives that will not only reward and provide value for all QPR supporters, but will also benefit QPR as a business. Together, we can achieve a common goal that will benefit everyone involved."

Saksena added: "I encourage current Season Ticket Holders to bring themselves, their families, and their friends who did not buy a Season Ticket last year, back to Loftus Road. I look forward to seeing you come back home to Loftus Road next season and be part of, what I hope is, a very exciting and memorable campaign."

All season ticket holders are automatically members.

Therefore all season ticket holders should get the membership pack.

Pay six hundred quid, don't get one, pay thirty quid, do get one, seems daft to me.

[haqpr1963]

Fully agree with that CPR, all season ticket holders should get a membership pack. (Going to look very strange if they change the badge though!!!)

[Lonegunmen]

Maybe they had that in mind and are using this as an excuse to get rid of the badges on the cheap??

And a flashback to the Summer of 2008

BBC - QPR limit season ticket numbers (July 18, 2008)

Queens Park Rangers will cap the number of season ticket sales for the first time in the club's history.

The limit means there are only a few hundred season tickets left before the new campaign gets underway.

Deputy managing director Ali Russell told BBC London 94.9: "We've decided to cap it at 10,000.

"We've had fantastic demand for season-tickets, there's a huge feel good factor at QPR at the moment and we're absolutely delighted with that."

Russell added: "I think we're very conscious that people are starting to talk about a recession, not everyone can afford a season-ticket so we certainly want to have tickets available for those people that potentially can't afford a season-ticket."

But despite the potentially challenging financial times there has been a phenomenal demand that has seen thousands of fans secure their seats for the club's quest to return to the Premier League.

There is no doubt that the increase in ticket sales has been helped by the ongoing changes at the club.


We're actually starting to connect with new fans

QPR deputy managing director Ali Russell
The upcoming season is the first full season since Flavio Briatore, Bernie Ecclestone and the Mittal Family completed their takeover of the Club.
And the summer break has seen the arrival of a new manager, Iain Dowie, along with five new signings.

"I think it's the right thing to do. We're trying to grow the fan base and really grow the club from the really strong base that we've got., added Russell.

"We're actually starting to connect with new fans, which is great and we've got prices for every type of fan."
