I'm a season ticket holder, but my dad is a member. Previously I would get him a ticket next to me (or as close as possible). Am I right in thinking there's no way I can do that now? And that we can't go to the match together anymore? Or, is it possible for me to buy a membership, and apply with him at least, and forward my ST to someone else if we are both successful? Which is a pain in the arse but I'd be willing to do Forwarding the ST is fairly straightforward I think. I’m using someone’s ST for Liverpool and our accounts were linked, he said it was easy to switch to my name. Still, your example just illustrates how short sighted the shite new system is. You’re gonna have to fork out for a membership and hope that you get lucky in a ballot just to be able to sit near your dad. It’s appalling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffee_Johnny Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Well, two shots at getting a ticket. Two misses. Wonder what the odds are of getting at least one this season? Like this if you have got a ticket through the membership ballot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 (edited) Your other option would be to team up with somebody who has a membership and link your dad's with theirs. Then apply in the ballot for the two together. Then if successful you could transfer your ST to that person. Saves needing to fork out for another membership if you could. Edit: although actually that would probably be technically illegal under the current system as the ticket would be under the wrong name. But I doubt they'd ever check this for a home game.

HaydnNUFC Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Downloading your ST to a burner/old phone that supports Google Wallet or Apple Wallet seems like a half decent idea to STHs if you could be arsed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us know what happens @Unbelievable I don't think it's any different. I've applied for both home games as an international member and have failed to get a ticket.

So follow up question: does anyone know whether I can buy a membership on my current supporter number (which already has a season ticket attached to it). Or do I have to create a separate account just to have a membership Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked at box office in person weeks ago and they said no because essentially no point as can’t enter the ballot as me as tickets in ballot not transferable. Your best bet is to get your dad a membership. Skip the auto selected seats ballot and try your luck each game at phase two in the queuing system and hope to find a seat near you.

Aye he's already got a membership. So effectively the only way he can sit anywhere near me is if he's ludicrously lucky in the phase 2 queue... I'll be emailing the club about this like, utter shite.

We are only two games in though. Some people are 2/2 in the ballots. That could be you in the next two. I’d think for Brentford demand will be down a bit from Villa and Liverpool.

I’d think for Brentford demand will be down a bit from Villa and Liverpool. Thing is because of work I can’t make every game so I’ll get limited use out of the membership as it is and with every failed ballot it becomes more pointless. It is annoying that people have 2/2 and others have 0/2. I’ll try Brentford as it’s a Sunday game but if that ends up 0 from 3 while others get 3/3 then the system is a load of bollocks. It’s meant to be fairer how is that at all fair? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
