Naturalcynic 817 Posted August 3, 2023 I know the members’ packs have always included a bit of pointless throwaway tat, but an uncut key and a plastic wallet? What proportion of these keys will actually be taken to a locksmith and cut into something functional? Perhaps 1% at best. And as for the tacky plastic wallet, the least said the better. The next time NCFC do some eco virtue-signalling, just remember the uncut key and the plastic wallet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Season ticket holders get a ticket to every (league) home game. Members get… what exactly? I’ve bought away membership for the last few years, even during Covid, but I haven’t this year. Not really because I don’t want to, but I’m pretty confident I can get a ticket for every away game apart from Ipswich without it. So it’s not surprising they have to tart membership up a little. If the OP had told me we were getting something we actually want (framed picture of Delia?) I might be more interested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bought a season ticket for the first time in one of the lounges and all I got was a card and an advert for their pub. Even when I bought a membership few years back I got a pair of socks and a pen!

The Real Buh 3,765 Posted August 4, 2023 I wonder if we are going to ditch plastic ceaser tickuts and go for mobile phone near field tech? I believe the readers are barcode scanner too so maybe a QR code for entry? But, yeah, the pre-season pack they send you with 10% off at Frankie and bennies for 2 hours every 2 weeks or Grant Hanley telling us how special we all are goes in the bin.

Danke bitte 1,155 Posted August 4, 2023 Can someone tell me what the uncut key is all about then? I’ve just ordered my membership pack for home games - is this something I can expect? And why?

I’ve just ordered my membership pack for home games - is this something I can expect? And why? I get the plastic wallet but not the key. All very confusing Here it is. As a blank, I’m not sure it corresponds to any of my house keys so even if I took it to a locksmith I don’t think I have anything it could be cut to match. Possibly similar to a Yale key?
