I know you think I am moaning but I would love to be a part of this scheme and help the club, but no matter how many times I read it and work it out, I can see no benefit for my family at this moment in time.
I do not think you are moaning and I understand why you are disappointed.
Don't know if this applies to you, but anybody who has been a pass holder for, say, 5 years (back when Rovers were still struggling and numbers buying a pass were much smaller), should, IMO, get a big discount on membership. Perhaps the RSG could suggest that to the club?

Like I said I'm not against the scheme and I fully understand why the club are launching it, if I weren't I wouldn't have already registered my kids. My problem is that I won't have the money for mine and my husband's passes before the end of Sept, so can't see any benefit at all of being a member. I'll be buying the kids passes and hopefully we'll be able to afford our before the end of the year, but at least there won't be any further price hikes then.

I didnt add that of course i will be getting a pass 2011/2012 and so on...
so would that then make it worth while? as i also dont see anyone getting a north stand ticket for the derby game unless they are in this membership...

Ok, got me there!
However, 24% increase? maybe not:
Last seasons prices, by discount period:
Quote:The Adults prices are £210 for seating and £179 for Standing, these prices are until 25th October. The date of upto the 7th Sept is for renewals only, tickets go on general sale on the 8th September.
From the 26th October Adults prices are £230 for seating, £196 for Standing. From the 23rd November Adults prices are £260 for seating, £221 for Standing
So, prices for 2010 are essentially the same as an undiscounted 2009 pass?

On discounted tickets, yes. On undiscounted tickets, which I believe was the point being raised, prices are unchanged.
That undiscounted tickets are expensive and that getting a discounted ticket this year requires the payment of a £60 membership fee is undeniable. This does though render one of my earlier concerns - that the £260 season ticket had been newly created to give a false impression of the size of the membership discount - invalid.
