I read this article in Business pages re Debitsuccess an NZ payment processing company.

".....Each year they send out their renewal notices, take a deep breath
and wait to see how many members will renew. Currently that could well
be fewer renewals than before. Debitsuccess helps make such club
memberships more affordable, and smooths cashflows for clubs by "taking
out the peaks and troughs", Dickinson said.
Now the company has found a new field and a new partnership, with
TicketDirect, in providing similar services to season ticket-holders.
Matthew Davey, CEO of TicketDirect, says the system has already led to a 50% increase in season ticket sales.
"There has been an urgent need to make season tickets more affordable.
"It is hugely beneficial for rugby clubs if they can sell season
passes, and this new payment mechanism provides the obvious solution to
encouraging purchase," says Davey.
The service is being used by the Otago, Waikato, Canterbury and
Hawke's Bay rugby unions. It lets members set up and pay for their
season passes in small instalments over weekly, fortnightly or monthly
intervals over a year, with payments from as little as $5 at a time.
The service has also been adopted by a large number of clubs in Australia's National Rugby League......."
Perhaps Terry and Nathan should take note ....and Ticketek too, if it doesn't already have a relationship with Debitsuccess.
If it helps sell more Season memberships and makes it more manageable for more people ..
Ha! Shows I know buggerall. Didn't realise already a scheme in place- see below - V
