HaydnNUFC Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Is there anywhere to see current season ticket prices? Seating Category One £667 (£635) Student Can't remember them offering student STs everywhere in the ground? Thought it was only in the corner above the ambulance exit between the Milburn and Leazes. That price will save me around £150 if I can get mine back but it's still a joke given this season like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Dancer Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Question for anybody on here who kept their season ticket last year - would you be annoyed if those who cancelled were allowed first dibs ahead of the free ticket lot? Not that I think we will be allowed first dibs - but the consensus I get online is that it would annoy many who stayed if people are allowed back/their points back. Can't be arsed with a divided fanbase and those who 'supported the team not the regime' telling me I'm a shit fan for the next 10 years. Still can't believe if I held on another 9 fucking months I'd have still had 4 tickets together with about 450points ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Difficult thing, to be rewarded for staying under Ashley and penalised for walking away. Not sure how they could do it mind. What if you didn't cancel as a protest but you just didn't fancy it, do you get first dibs then? In general it's a bit unfair that existing season ticket holders get preference at all really, it's not like they're automatically better fans.

BirtleyMag Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I’m in the same boat mate, cancelled mine end of last season and thought we’d be stuck with Ashley forever. Takeover still hasn’t been announced yet so don’t want to tempt fate but I’ll be looking at getting my ticket back if it happens. The free ticket lot can f*ck off being given first dibs on season tickets imo. Only fair way is general sale. First come, first served. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect points back (although it would be nice) but I'm not sure if the new owners will see it as a quick PR win or whether it'll just be general sale. I'd assume the latter, which will be a fucking nightmare during lockdown. Phones will be off the hook, and the shite site will just crash.

Yeah the free ticket lot shouldn't be allowed to renew if you ask me, but I am bias I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteV Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I don't think I'd i'd have an overly strong opinion either way. I did get a couple of the free ones that have been used by various different mates, rather than the same ones, so I don't think they would be getting renewed if that was an option. To be honest, it's kind of hard to make a case for people being rewarded for taking up something that was free, ahead of people who could potentially have spent fortunes following the team in the past.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Free people definitely shouldn't get first go, that's silly. People who cancelled because of Ashley, ideally yes. But I can't see how they would manage that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWN Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I'd like to see them hold around 5000 back for box office sales only collected.I remember the days of getting up early to head for the ticket office and the joy of getting that ticket in ya hand was brilliant. Bring back those days, took dedication it did . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottman Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I’d be amazed if there’s any first dibs to anyone. Just hoy all the spares on general sale and first come first serve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too - but I know that the trust (and maybe Wor Flags) are going to be bringing it up if and when any new owners contact them. Not sure if Staveley will see it as a PR win or what to be honest. I'm just fucking desperate for a ticket for me and the boy. If I can get that, whether my old ones back or on general sale, I'll be a happy man. Killed me getting rid of his ticket more than my points etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Those that cancelled season tickets likely played massively into Ashley’s decision to finally sell. They should be allowed back instead of the free tickets lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Personally I'd do it based off previous loyalty points or something but really the only way to do it fairly is going to be general sale. Free tickets no option to renew, obviously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowlingcrofty Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 (1) if you’ve had a ticket for at least 3 of past 5 seasons, offered on loyalty points banding (2) members (3) general sale Is how I’d do it. Don’t see why those who got a freebie would be given any sort of priority. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 All those Ashley enablers don't deserve time watch a successful NUFC. I hope they get priced out one day! Mind, I don’t think I deserve to just waltz back in after a decade of not going and snapping up a seat either. So I’ll be buying a fucking box! Seriously, the City deserves a cub that tries to be the best it can and that’s the kind of club the likes of KK gave us all. That’s the true potential of our club, that’s where we can go and hope to be. It’s just a shame it will take Saudi money to get there, but unlike under KK it won’t ever feel as good, as real and as meaningful if we do even with trophies on top. I’m just so grateful I got to experience that, to feel that good about my club, my team and everything about it and to witness an era where we were the best NUFC high meant we were one of the best in the world and I wouldn’t swap that era for any number of trophies to come and no NUFC club of ours will ever be that good, that special, that brilliant to support, follow and go out and watch. I’m content knowing I’ve felt, seen, enjoyed and known that club which is why it was all the easier to walk away under Ashley and why it will be easy to watch on afar away from a seat at the stadium and let someone else sit there instead. The victory for me, the prize, the joy, the happiness will be in seeing Ashley out finally, that’s my little trophy right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
