I paid €975 for this season. You needed to buy before the end of October to get this deal and you need to buy on the Val d'Isere website, not the Tignes one. They both work the same, but have different discount schemes.
Next year will be approx 3% more, so around €1k.

Not that I know of for a season pass, although there are family discounts for shorter duration passes. The STVI season pass has a break even point of around 19 days and is only available for adults.
As I'm sure you know, if you plan to work in the resort, it is available for even less. To keep your workers season pass active, you must take your work contract in several times a year, to prove you are still there and still working. The lift company can and do check up with your employer and with the French tax authorities. We don't have any French income so this doesn't work for us.

I presume there is no family deal as the kids get a ski pass through school.

You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

Any truth in me hearing that Tignes apartment owners get 50% off season passes?

Part of the difference in price between a Tignes season pass & a Val D'Isere one is the 'stolen week' the Tignes pass covers after the links to VD close.

Having a local address does open more discount doors yes!
