if you run out of tickets i think you get 20% off tickets so you might pay .75-80 cents per ticket-- RECHARGE OPTION FOR ACTIVE MEMBERS
Mate, the recharge options are fucking stupid.
Direct ticket purchase (in the UK) are as follows:
Non member prices:
10 tickets £7.86
20 tickets £14.56
30 tickets £23.08
50 tickets £36.48
100 tickets £60.84
250 tickets £133.92 (1.88 tickets per £)
Prices with member discounts:
10 tickets £6.28
20 tickets £11.64
30 tickets £18.46
50 tickets £29.18
100 tickets £48.67
250 tickets £107.14 (2.33 tickets per £)
Membership prices are:
1 month £18.21 35 tickets immediately
2 months £33.43 37.5 tickets / month
3 months £48.66 40 tickets / month (2.47 tickets per £)
What manner of insanity is this? Even with the discount applied it is still more expensive to 'recharge' by the intended method (ie the discounted direct ticket payment) than by simply buying a fresh three month membership.
In other words, as a member loyalty bonus, it is nothing of the sort.
***Worse***, when i took my membership out at the start of December (having used up my tickets i was given when the system started on the 12th november) a monthly membership cost £42.97. Now i see it costs £48.66. So in a little under a month since the new system started prices have already risen 13%, so next time i come to 'recharge' my membership let us not pretend to one another i will be getting a 20% rebate, as you suggest, when, instead, i will be paying 13% MORE than i did this last time!
