I was at the point of having 100+ windows open with a different queue position on each. A real queue with one position per person would probably have been just as bad as the ballot.

For me it was flawed but a billion times better than what we have now Log on at 10am, choose where you want to sit, out by 10.30 at very latest Low hassle, short time required, no unwanted seats Edited April 20 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisMcQuillan Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Applied for 6 or 7 and got 0. Really disappointing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 (edited) Curious of the members who have had the most success, from when each ballot opens when do you apply...... immediately/ within the first 48hrs/ Or days after, I'm just wondering with how random it is, if it actually makes a difference.

JLC Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Applied for all bar a couple. Got 4 I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holloway Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 3 out of 9 for the ballot, 2 in the resale. Similar result from the previous system, but that was on my phone at work, which was about equal stress level to the resale palaver Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last system was ‘better’ because you could cheat it. And in saying that, it’s not a slight on anyone that did (I did it myself). But clearly, it didn’t work as it was supposed to.

Optimistic Nut Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Applied for all bar two, got to 8 which is double what I was able to make with the ridiculous 10am on a Tuesday queuing system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Prontonise Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Much easier to get tickets by having a large collection of friends who are ST holders who can't make the odd game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 2/10 for me; always solo; always category 2. I don't yearn to be there like I did once upon a time so it doesn't bother me like it does others, but obviously accept that it's an imperfect system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidAK Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Applied for 5, got 1. I think I applied category 2 for the first 3 and then category 1 after that to see if it increased my odds, no idea if it did or not, probably just luck. Stopped applying after the win as I can only afford to make the trip up once a season at most. Will definitely be buying another membership and entering again next year if the ballot system remains. My situation means that I can wait it out knowing that eventually I'll win one of the 19.

Interpolic Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 I can't recall what my ratio was tbh - applied for maybe three quarters of the games and reckon I was successful 40-50% of the time. Any time I was unsuccessful I was able to get ticket(s) in the resale with borderline (or not so borderline) autistic levels or persistence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGuv Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 One of the lads put this together for our group: Here’s your NUFC membership wrapped for 23/24 season 🕺🏼 ⚫️⚪️ Ballots won: 4 (Burnley, Palace, Milan (only two tickets), Bournemouth) Ballots entered (assuming we did all PL and UCL games) = 22 That means success rate of 18% 🎉 🥳 Last year for refefence we attended 22 games, which I think is all. Maybe one carabao missed. Membership fee 23/24 = £37 - up from £35 Ticket fees paid for 4 games 23/24 = £196 Our Average cost per ticket = £49 (up 40% from last year, from £35.10 - yes I looked at how much we paid for every ticket last year) Membership fee as average per game successful 23/24 = £9.25 Total average cost per ticket 23/24 = £58.25 Membership fee as average per game successful 22/23 = £1.59 Total average cost per ticket 22/23 = £36.69 Choice of seat 23/24 = 0% Choice of seat 22/23 = 100% Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not renewing mine and the bairns for next season. Haven't applied for a game since before Xmas but until then had a reasonable success rate. Excellent in the family enclosure but poor for Cat 2. Unfortunately I don't like Level 7 so not really keen on the family enclosure and really hate not being able to at least select a stand to be in, let alone a seat so for that reason I'm out. I think membership numbers will drop off next season. It's awful value and a poorly thought out package. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyman Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 As an international member I will not renew mine, it's been an absolute waste of money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
