Can existing ST holders buy another one under their name? Probably not. If it is just a general sale scramble, what would increase your chances, going online or camping outside the box office?

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.

My daughter who went with me from being 3 yr old to about the age of 23 also chucked it. Would be good to go back together in happier times with a club with vision for a change. ST holders get 1st option to buy extra home match tickets so it's a possibility I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big River Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I feel like the fairest option would be to give early access to everybody in their database. that would include previous season ticket holders, members etc. can't see it happening, like. It'll be a first come, first served scramble! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a ‘Membership’ exists next season. I’ve a feeling they might be overhauling the system, although that’s not based on any ITK knowledge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stamford Bridge only holds 40k which is nowhere near enough to satisfy demand. What they do is award their members points for buying tickets as well as their season ticket holders, and members with most points get priority for match tickets and the option to buy season tickets should any become available. For example for this season they allowed members with 129+ loyalty points (their system works different to ours with more points awarded for the lesser games) to apply for a season ticket.

bowlingcrofty Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Have just spoken to the box office.

Hovagod Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) Had I not bought mine back this summer, I honestly think I would be in the same place I was as a kid during the 97/98 season- if not quite hoping for relegation, then at least being acutely aware that it could get me into the season ticket holding boat. I also, genuinely, think I would have enjoyed the takeover a lot less. Think most of us that grew up during the nineties attach a certain desirability, mysticism even, to season tickets, a cache to owning one- hence, possibly, that not very good book and film on the subject.

Superior Acuña Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) I don't even have a concrete plan to return yet but I do want to move back to Newcastle in the next couple of years, and I'm panicking now wondering if I need to buy a ST now I transferred my old one to my dad's mate when I left ten years ago. Actually just applied for two jobs in the toon, don't think I'll get them, but wish they'd crack on so I can sort this...
