They must have put them on sale at about 4am due to the crowds ? remember leaving college and going straight up after my tea the night before. Everyone sprinting upto the old ticket office when they opened the gates, then being crushed against the box office until it opened. To old for that shit aswell now. Expand That's right they dragged the ticket office staff out of their pits and into work around 4am as it was just beginning to get a bit edgy. Remember they had gates next to where the Terrace pub is now (Milburn/Gallowgate corner) so you couldn't just walk up the bank like you can now and that's where the queue started. We got there at 7pm and joined the queue behind the East Stand! Still remember the stampede when they unlocked the gates. People falling over and getting trampled on, not nice to see. Anyway got our tickets, went down to Blackburn and lost 1-0 in the last minute! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 When would new season tickets go on sale? Also do existing season ticket holders/members get the chance to buy another one before everyone else similarly to normal home tickets? Desperate to get my seat back next to me fatha, didn't renew for 2019-20 due to both uni and Rafa leaving. No one has bought it up to now as I've been paying for my old seat for almost each game individually. Saved up and held back money from my 21st for it, it was around 800 quid at the start of this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand As someone with a membership and no season ticket I think members should be at the front of the queue! Aside from my obvious bias it would also seem more practical as sales can be staggered.

From a business perspective it makes more sense for the club to bring out a new membership from June 1st and try and get those new members signed up and then buy a ST… An extra £30 easily made Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying they will, but they can if they want to. You seem to be getting very caught up in the membership expiring, that’s not what I’m saying.

Sima Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I'm hoping (selfishly) that they also look at purchase history throughout the course of this season to come up with a points system and send out e-mails to those customers in priority. I've been to every game (bar Norwich) since the takeover was completed so I'd like this to be taken into account. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantail Breeze Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Unfortunately I don’t think there is any fair way of doing it other than just putting them on sale and allowing the scramble to take shape. Everyone will have their own reason for wanting priority - impossible to justify who is more deserving than others. My own preference would be to contact everyone who gave up their tickets over the Ashley era and allow them the opportunity to get it back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allowing for 3,200 away fans that leaves 5k to go on sale game by game. I'd predict that would mean no general sale at all next season with members scrambling for those 5k tickets.
