Wandy Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 27 minutes ago, SteV said: 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. Absolutely no mention that people hate the ballot and want it binned off. Great stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 People on twitter kicking off over that photo of Charlotte from NUST sat with Staveley and Caulkin on a train from Bournemouth last night. Apparently she openly admitted that she didn't even have a season ticket 2 years ago so people doing the maths have worked out it would be impossible to have amassed to required loyalty points for that particular fixture.

NUFC91 Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Lets not forget this ballot has made atmosohere worse home and away, the away ticketing system checks have seen people not turn up. Away ticket ballots for fans who never wanted to travel before. Has anyone seen that video in regards to Arsenal ballot/atmosphere. There new system this year similar to ours, fans complaining this year atmosphere alot worse at the emirates. Just get back to how it was and why ya there stick a standing end in the Leazes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellis80 Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 They’d do well to tell people that if it is. From what i’ve read on here it’s 7% corporate, 7% staff and 1% ballot. But for Spurs and PSG over 20% was gone the minute they went on sale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was on a podcast (True Faith) in October talking about how frustrating it was for her last season to be sat in a randomised queue for home tickets Look, people will always try their best by hook or by crook to get tickets and fair play to anyone who does. But the Trust (including her pal Mr Hurst) done their utmost to stop shit like this happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbydazzla Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 (edited) Surprised there’s nothing in that report about how awful allocated seating is And no discussion about whether any other clubs refuse to let their fans decide whereabouts in the ground they’d prefer to sit Got to be one of the worst aspects of our awful ticketing system Edited November 12, 2023 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUFC91 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Probably been mentioned but surely there should be a loyalty membership scheme. When we wsre taken over some people purchased a ticket to every home game. Since then a load of glory seakers came in from last season with as good as chance, surely thats wrong?

The club don’t want fans who spend most of their time in the boozer pre-game before heading to the ground. They’re worthless to them. They’d far rather have the ground full of tourists who might spend £5 on a pencil case and wave half and half scarves.

I think the issue with doing that based on the data that was held prior to this season was that ST holders had been able to purchase extra tickets, and not assign them to anybody else. So you probably had a lot of people who didn’t have memberships but a friend or family member who was a ST holder was getting them a ticket for every game, but with no record of it actually being for them. Now that every ticket is assigned to an individual it makes the data a lot more accurate, however you now have the problem that getting a ticket as a member is a much down to luck, rather than ‘loyalty’, so not sure how they go about addressing that in terms of member loyalty schemes moving forward? I do agree it would be good if they could come up with something though, just don’t know what that something would be? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said at the start of this season. Despite it affecting me, who would have 19 PL points from last season. Fresh start, fresh slate. And people start building them up from 2023 onwards. But there’s no will from the club to do this. They won’t change shit next season imo. Easy money from memberships 👌 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
