AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Yeah, this way is better than selling 15,000 and still not getting one. Can’t describe my jealously towards people who already have one like. Luckiest people in the world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I know we’ve been over this 100 times and no perfect solution but I have to say I’m baffled with the criteria. Basically it’s rewarding anyone who jumped on board after Rafa was let go not those who quit because of him leaving. Basically the last people the club should’ve rewarded ?

AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 It’s just a way to say that you haven’t just signed up now to get a ticket to sell I guess, it’s not a judgement of who deserves one more. I don’t have a clear sense of how you can ever get a season ticket if you haven’t had one for decades TBH, it’s a shame. I guess just wait for a bigger stadium.

Basically it’s rewarding anyone who jumped on board after Rafa was let go not those who quit because of him leaving. Basically the last people the club should’ve rewarded ? Well not quite. I mean there will be those people in there obviously, but they’ve had to try and find a way of somehow trying to incorporate those that gave up ST prior to the takeover. As has been discussed at length, it was near enough impossible to come up with a solution that did that fairly. This way, they’ve made an assumption (probably fairly), that most of those will have purchased a ticket fairly recently. But like was always going to be the case, there is no ‘right’ way to do it, and especially given the small number of ST that would appear to be going on sale. It does mean plenty of match day tickets still though, so whilst I realise that’s not the same as having ‘your seat in your area’, if you want to get in, you almost certainly can.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 (edited) Season tickets themselves are an interesting concept when demand is this high. Presumably they’re normally useful for clubs to guarantee income, but in cases like ours the demand is going to be astronomical anyway. Estimate there’s going to be about 30,000 people looking for one next week, maybe more if you include touts. Might have a 1 in 25 or 30 chance of getting one. It’s barely worth thinking about.

They got taken over in October. If you have applied for a ticket since you're in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t affect me and like I say we’ve all been through it 100 times but bit baffled by the final criteria of from July 2019 which is post Rafa. I guess it clearly suggests that it’s going to be a very limited release and the vast majority that left with Rafa aren’t being sold. The fact you qualify for buying an ST when you’ve bought a ST between Bruce being announced as Rafa’s replacement and now is amusing at best ?

SteV Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 As spotted by @Bellis80, there is now a ‘Ballots’ section when you log in to your ticket account. Whether or not this is related to ST distribution is obviously anybodies guess, but there’s obviously going to be something new next season.

Hopefully you’ll be done by the time you get to the front! Tuesday will be horrific. I’d rather they did a ballot! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantail Breeze Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 I think the past ticket history is a way of trying to stop touts obtaining the few available. You could make a case for any date but the further you go back, the less protection it’d offer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdm Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 It does seem that ballots is the route they are going down. Wether that be for the 1k season tickets or for the membership sale. If the membership turns in to a name out the hat ballot that would be very disappointing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFCDoog Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Ballots could be for anything to be fair, there was nothing in their announcement that made it seem like it'd be a ballot, just the usual announcement of them going on sale online and to get them from there, if it was a ballot they'd have announced it by now. Ballot could just be something they're setting up for the future, wembley tickets for example, maybe even some away games might have some tickets in a ballot as we speculated last season, not convinced it's linked to next weeks season tickets sale Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Membership or general sale. Just my guess. I know other clubs like Man United and Leeds put their membership tickets in a ballot as I have friends from both and they tell me they frequently miss out and it’s very difficult to get to games they can actually make so for me it would be disappointing Edited June 25, 2022 by gdm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tho doesn’t seem to be the way it’s going The Supporters’ Trust has submitted its season tickets proposal to the club. The proposal document, made publicly available, suggests splitting any available season tickets into four pots. The first pot would be for those who have cancelled season tickets; the second would be for those who have not had a season ticket but have bought other tickets; and the third would be for current season ticket holders. The final pot would go on general sale via a ballot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 So it seems if there’s only 1000 new season tickets on sale there’ll be quite a few available match to match but likely for members to buy (not sure exactly what this figure is tho). Maybe season ticket holders might be able to buy 1 ticket but I’d imagine members will be able to buy two. Positively that means more people will be able to go match to match or am I getting my sums mixed up? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like it’ll pretty much be the same as last season but with 1000 extra ST’s going to some lucky souls on Tuesday Keeping as many game by game tickets available as possible seems like a fair solution all round to me - if you don’t get an ST then there’s still a good chance of getting to plenty of games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
