The release clause is nothing to do with QPR. It is (or was) a contractual term between Eze and CP. we agreed a contract in 2020 that stipulated that further proceeds would be payable to the club should a future sale occur. Let’s say that was 20% of the gross sale. Now it remains open to the parties to vary that clause by mutual agreement at any time over the past few years. So as speculated earlier, QPR may have agreed to vary the contract and reduce the sell on from 20% of gross to 15% of net in return for a payment. At the time this happened the amount that CP paid will have depended on a number of factors, primarily the likelihood of a future sale of Eze and at what price. Someone said above that the difference is as much as £6m. I’m sure CP would only do business at a price significantly lower than that. We will have to await publication of the relevant accounts to know more. |

Just written to them on this.
I feel I must register my disappointment at the new arrangements for ticket resale. Whilst I recognise that this is a great service for fans who cannot attend games, and as a ST holder living overseas I do benefit from the service. I am a ST holder in SAR platinum.
Last year I got 75% of the match day price, typically £33 per game. The club got an extra £11 of revenue for facilitating the sale. Plus the usual ticket admin fee.
This year, I will get 75% of the actual per game cost of the season ticket, which for me will amount to £23.25. However, as match day prices in South Africa Road are £46 per game, the club will benefit to the tune of £22.75, almost half of the sale price.
Whilst I recognise that last year I was making a profit on the sale, I believe that the balance has shifted too far in favour of the club. I understand other clubs provide a similar service, with 100% of the pro rata season ticket cost going to the fan (£31 in my case as a SAR platinum ticket holder), with the club getting the difference between that and the match day price (£15, almost a third of the match day sales price of £46).
I suspect I’m not the only person who has noticed this and it is disappointing that this change has not been separately shown on the website, instead just rolled into the ticket details announcement for the Charlton game.
Again, I’m not taking anything away from the initiative, and I’m at least getting something for missed games which I wasn’t getting in the past. However, I feel the balance has shifted too far in favour of the club and I urge you to reconsider. |

Tax authorities only care about transactions between related parties in relation to the company that is either paying too much or not receiving enough - so they are reducing their taxable profits. As another posted correctly pointed out, if on the other side of the deal the company is paying too much tax (because profits have been inflated), then it is not their concern. Generally this is only a concern where there is a cross border transaction.
I’ve not worked on a football transfer since Tony Cottee left West Ham for Everton but I do recall that it was subject to VAT.😄 [Post edited 23 Jan 2024 19:49]

To be clear, if it was just the style of play/GA, I'd renew. It's when you take all the other factors in my life into account that the "don't renew" decision gets made. I'm also retiring soon and that will change my priorities. I will attend some games when the sun is shining of course.
Would like to think that as someone who travels over from another country year in year out I'm a bit more that a fair weather fan 
And yes, I do have a very understanding QPR supporting wife! |

I'm almost 60 and have been coming for over 40 years, many as a season ticket holder.
For the past 20 years have been travelling from Ireland for games, attending around 15 on average at home. In the past 12 years or so my son has been coming with me, but his life has taken over and he can't attend anymore.
I'm very unlikely to review. The travel and cost is a huge commitment, and I have simply not enjoyed the football post World Cup. Not just the results, but more the approach to our play. Like many of you I have no expectation of trophies or promotions, but I do expect to be entertained, win or lose. I just haven't been getting that from QPR recently and I don't see that changing anytime soon. |

Quite a few Irish fans with season tickets and memberships getting over fairly regularly without too much hassle, even back in the halcyon days of the PL. |

Yes but when you write off the loan the release of the debt is income in your P&L |

We are not asking Charlie to drop from 40k. He has no contract at the moment. We are asking him to take our offer over whatever else is on the table. I doubt anyone is offering him anywhere near 40k |

Overseas season ticket holders were put on this system when the "QPR Card" was issued a couple of years ago as we couldn't get a UK credit/payment card. Works ok, can be a bit glitchy but overall it was fine. We have 2 tickets in the family so was easy enough to transfer around as required. |

Went for it early, despite what the accountant in me said. Just hoping I'll be able to travel relatively easily early enough in the season |

I'd question that if I was you. If they are deducting £270 per ticket for the streams then for 2 tickets costing close to £1,000 you should have around £460 still in the pot? |

I just logged into my ticket account and it shows a credit of £340. My season ticket costs £610 so it seems I have been charged for 27 streams so far, with another £10 to come off tomorrow I expect. |

Gonna be a pedant and point out the Birmingham game was 29 February 2020. Sticks in my head for some reason...😄 |

I think there’s an added wrinkle around the 2 matches that fans were allowed into to be taken into account. From memory of you attended then you will have to pay pro rata for that. If you entered the draw and were unsuccessful, no charge. But I think if you didn’t enter the draw you may be charged as well, unless you lived in an area where you were banned from travelling to London at that time. Something like that. |

When it comes to EFL “fudges” we all seem to conveniently forget that part of our £42m settlement/fine was the writing off of £22m of shareholder loans. |

Well, as an overseas based season ticket holder with some health concerns, given my age, plus the complication of quarantine restrictions back home if I did travel, today's announcement is very welcome. |
