AS Saint-Etienne is launching its subscription campaign on Monday July 19th. Finally !, must exclaim the thousands of supporters eager to find their Cauldron. The expectation and excitement had grown over the past few weeks. The Saint-Etienne club actually waited to be certain that the public could find Geoffroy-Guichard without limit (see elsewhere). Last season, no subscription had been offered and a gauge of five thousand people – staff players, staff, media included – with three thousand places offered for sale had first been established, before the total closed door was not nationally decreed.
Almost no change in prices
For 2021-2022, ASSE is departing from its rule of different phases of sale. This time, from July 19, all subscribers for the 2019-2020 season can get started and will keep their assigned place. However, their preferred seat in the stadium is only protected until 1er August.
The prices remain unchanged and start at 145 euros in the kops. A single change will affect the subscription price for under 16s in certain categories of stands, but this will not be the case behind the goals. He hadn’t changed for eight years, especially in Henri-Point. According to our information, payment, in one or ten installments, must be made by direct debit so that ASSE can more easily reimburse its subscribers in the event of the closing of stands, of reduced size or behind closed doors, in proportion to the matches.
New: a shift for families and senior rates
In recent months, ASSE has interacted a lot with its supporters. By email, with questionnaires and surveys, also by telephone since, in the spring, the 9,500 subscribers were called by the club’s ticketing service, in order to “maintain a link”. Loïc Perrin, Jessy Moulin, Mahdi Camara and Claude Puel had also participated in the operation. Several new products and special offers, corresponding to wishes, have emerged from these exchanges, such as special rates for seniors and a space reserved for families: one or two adults with up to three children. It will be in block V34, under the screen, between the Henri-Point and Jean-Snella stands (kop south), with a capacity of 1,190 seats. Always with the desire for services, ASSE will offer a swimsuit to each subscribed child, as well as a private signing session. Before the start of the meetings, an artist (juggler, magician, etc.) will animate the block.
