Chicken Dancer Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Aye, even Wor Flags - who I think have got absolutely everything spot on in their time as a group - endorsing someone is obviously going to give that individual more votes. But I suppose that is what democracy is. There's always someone with an advantage one way or another. Unlucky @NSG , you done really well and like you say, there's always next time.

Wandy Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 They really need to earn their coin here, and very quickly too. This is exactly what they were created for. I didn't think I'd see the day when the club come up with a worse idea than the dreadful Bond scheme of the late 90s, but they have somehow managed it right here with this shit show.

bobbydazzla Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Biggest fan relations test since the new lot took over Guess we'll really get to see how much they care about our amazing support that they are so keen to praise us for "You were brilliant last season, we couldn't have done it without you" is sounding very fucking hollow right now.

I get what you mean but they don’t get paid so poorly phrased. This is however as you say exactly the kind of thing you need a supporters trust for. Are you a member?

Shadow Puppets Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I'm not 100% sure what's going on, I haven't followed it. Could someone breakdown why everyone seems to be up in arms? (Starting with the Memberships thing) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could someone breakdown why everyone seems to be up in arms? (Starting with the Memberships thing) Those members that are successful in the ballot will be contacted by 5pm on Friday, 4th August, and payment will be processed. Seats are allocated randomly so you could be allocated tickets in any area of the stadium with the ticket range of £44 to £74 for an adult tickets (or the applicable concession rate, where applicable). About sums it up. You can't select your seat and you get charged regardless of whether or not you end up with something unsuitable for you. From the club today.

Infatuation Junkie Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I can’t risk paying £100 for me and the bairn. That’s a 50% increase from our leazes level 7 row y season last season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Yeah good stuff but I think lobbying against the price hike should be very much secondary (or even lower) to the insult that is no selection + automatic charging. If it's not an awful oversight then that decision is antisocial at best and outright discriminatory at worst (aka 'minor issues'). Shitty though it is, the prices were always gonna increase; I hope a fruitless endeavour regarding that doesn't interfere with the more urgent issue.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 The prices also seem worse than they are because everyone is worrying about being charged £74. Or being forced to pay for a seat they don’t want. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So out of somewhere in the region of ~10k being available, you haven’t really got much chance of getting one. And you’re certainly not going to get one consistently.

SteV Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 (edited) Summary of the Ticketing Round Table discussion hosted by the Trust. Good to see the majority of points raised were more or less the same as have been widely discussed on here. Obviously doesn’t necessarily get us any closer to solutions, but at least we know the Trust have the ear of the club to some degree, so at least they’re being made aware of what people believe to be issues.
