One way of working it would be if you fall below 75% or 50% in the previous window, you move down to the suitable category but possibly take the highest queue position in the category you have been moved down to. In the same way, if you move up, you move the bottom of that Priority.

I'd imagine you will move up and down depending on ballot entries. That way, they can ensure maximum attendance (even though it probably won't be an issue). Maximum ballot entries and they will probably take the piss with membership prices as they now have this carrot to dangle.

It also means I'm just going to enter every single ballot now even if I am unable to attend just due to the fact that I'm more likely to fail and will still get my % up to potentially move me up to P1 if they reshuffle them every so often.

I'll be in Priority 2 and I can live with that. Guessing I'll make it to Priority 1 by the time the stadium comes around, I never really held any hope of getting a ST at the current stadium size anyway. It is quite annoying though that I've actually attended well over 50% but because I haven't applied for 75% of matches, I will be behind people who might have entered the ballot and only went to a handful of matches over the last 2 years after giving up after the ballot fail.

I'd imagine so. Surely this is just to determine the order of each group. So if Priority 1 had 10,000 people in then the person who is top of Priority 2 would be 10,001 in the queue. At least I'd hope that is the case.

I've worked it out and I'd need to take the bairn to Bournemouth and Brighton matches for him to reach 50% and get in Priority 2. I entered him for West Ham and failed but he gets the credit for that. FFS 😄

Have I understood it correctly that when they sort out who is in each priority, a ballot will then decide which position you will be in the queue in that priority? Only skimmed the details.

I just can't imagine in 2026 that we would release tickets on the turnstile where you would have a massive queue of people waiting in the hope of buying a ticket, with some missing out after standing waiting for potentially hours.

I very much doubt that as it might put off members from buying a membership if they've only won a couple all season. Probably just seats for the ballot/member sale which they're making room for.

Whatever your opinions of the family enclosure size, they are taking the piss by categorising the non-family enclosure seats in L7 at category 2. The same price as the lower Leazes and Gallowgate. Really?

Mental that like 😄. I'll probably buy the away top later down the line. I would have been all over the tracksuit top if they had released that from the same range but for some reason they haven't. It's all class gear like but can't really justify it after all of the money spent on matches recently.

Have Adidas even announced that this range is limited to the stock available upon release? Lots of people seem to be saying this, but is it on assumption that the Originals gear they've released over the last couple of years were limited?

1.Keegan/Howe 3.Robson 4.Rafa 5.Hughton 6.Roeder 7.Pardew The rest were fucking useless.

They're missing a trick if they don't release the jacket and tracksuit top from 1995/96. Those were crackers.

Walking in a Keegan wonderland was definitely KK's song the first time around. I'll always associate that and up the Premier League we go with Keegan.

Surely this is ST holders getting rid of their tickets though? I see this a lot from season ticket holders on Twitter when there are tickets available at the last minute, but it seems like ST holders either can't be arsed or can't make it. Seems silly to use it as a stick to beat members with.

I get that as well. I suppose a big question is how many season tickets would we be able to shift if we added another 18,000 seats onto the capacity? If a decent percentage of the seats go to season tickets then at least that is a bum on a seat paid for and guaranteed for a season.

If i was to guess i would say the majority of the 150 season tickets will be released in L7 and they'll sell it as a way of getting more kids in, and they'll keep the tickets they've cancelled in the lower bowl to sell to members, as they can charge a higher price.

The thing which can fix a lot of this is if we move stadiums, don't piss about with 65,000 if we can go closer to 70,000.

Ah i was just using the away ticket thing as an example of how the club might not necessarily care about the fact that some supporters have been to loads of home matches with no record of them being there, due to getting their ticket from a friend. Just like what has happened with away tickets and now people can't go. When I mentioned having a child alongside you, I was meaning on the ST waiting list, so they can go in the top category as long as their parent meets the criteria for it. The child isn't required to have a ticket history.

The main question here is, is this a waiting list for now or is it a waiting list for the new stadium/extension? The chances are so slim of getting one of the few tickets that might go on sale every season if someone doesn't renew. For me, it's mainly going to be for when there are thousands of more seats available. So, although we're saying you need to make it fair for young kids, by the time the new stadium/extension is here, the young kids of today won't be young kids anymore, and the young kids of 2035 or whenever it might be will then miss out, as they weren't born/weren't interested when the list was created. That one is pretty much impossible to control though.

It's like away games really. Lots of us have been to multiple away games with no record of it as it was using someone else's ticket. They definitely have to come up with a way of making it fair for younger fans. There is probably a way of getting some younger ones in by allowing people on the the waiting list to add have a child added alongside of them, so an adult who meets the criteria for the highest category, can have a child added with them with no criteria required for them. I suppose the teenager one wouldn't quite work with that as they would tent to go with friends. I.cant really think of many ways to make it fair on young kids.

They've allowed them many people to buy a membership that I think they'll need to go back further than then, otherwise they'll struggle to make separate pots. At the very least they could go back to the takeover season There's not really going to be a completely fair way to do it. It's going to be harsh on people if they get put in a lower priority because of using ST holders to buy them tickets in the past. A bit like away matches really, most of us have been to loads of away matches but there's no trace of it after we've used other people's tickets. There has to be some criteria used other than just the last 2 seasons though. Too many people apply for most games.

Mine is the same. Definitely something from the club's side. I could see tickets i had bought a good few years back last time I checked but that must have been a couple of years ago. I checked today and I couldn't look further back than a couple of years. They must have it on the clubs systems but I doubt it'll go back as far as when the online ticket sales were first introduced.
