Yorkie Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 1 minute ago, Kid Icarus said: It's a shame that some people miss out, but in a situation where someone is going to miss out, should it be you or the person who hasn't missed an away game in 20 years? There really isn't a right answer to that question. You could easily argue that if you've been blessed with securing significant amounts of attendance then it's time to let someone else have a go.

Kid Icarus Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 (edited) They've walked it back from a worse position, which gives people a positive feeling and makes anyone still unhappy with the situation look ungrateful or grumpy, but there are still obvious problems that without this walk back the majority would be unhappy about. The price, only being able to choose one category, not being able to choose tickets after being successful, having to all apply as a group, memberships/tickets being non-transferable.

Bit harsh for the people who have watched some utter shite who would be missing out now we are half decent? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, can only select upto 6 tickets in one tier. One per member. Platinum Club is the most expensive tier, so assuming this puts you in all other tiers.

If selecting a price point puts you in all the price points below, fair enough, but if someone goes for £74, and that precludes them from anything below, that wouldn’t seem right?

Rich Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Bloody hell, I've just read the release properly. It does say "select a specific ticket price category". Surely you should be able to choose more than one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It obviously doesn’t in the current situation where we’ve just started to be good again. Might hold (a little) more merit once we’ve had 20 years of winning everything.

So it looks like specifically one category, not all the categories you're prepared to take. I was assuming you would set your maximum price and it would also include the lower ones.

That does point to them knowing it's an imperfect solution either way and to the potential of a better one coming down the line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 So if you have to choose one category, you probably have a better chance choosing whichever is the most common? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more you can afford to pay the more option you have to get a ticket. Not massively fair, but that’s life really isn’t it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm advocating not punishing those who've been following the club up and down the country for decades. The lack of accessibility to tickets is overstated anyway, it's not that hard to get away tickets if anyone wanted to, especially in cup games.
