gdm Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 (edited) Hold on I just looked the queue is now 31k that’s mental you could almost fill other premier league grounds with membership demands alone Edited June 30, 2022 by gdm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah- people are dreaming if they think that. There will be ‘000s not even tried yet too, and even more in the next two months. There will be massive queues trying to get tickets for all/most games I reckon, like that for memberships themselves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that would be ideal. Stop people buying them to sell as easily too (although with the limit of one it shouldn't be so bad). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 5 minutes from the front of the queue and I find out it's £35. I live 400 miles away, thought I'd just buy one anyway in case there's any games on the south coast I can get a ticket for - Bournemouth, Southampton, cup games in Plymouth. £10 seemed a decent punt. £35 and I might have to have a think! Though tbh I'm probably quite happy just to give the club £35 as I know it'll be spent properly now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got mine and have the same thought that the money will be used well and I get some junk in the post, sweet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoreboard82 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 I'll put me tin hat on here but some season ticket holders would argue being able to buy an extra ticket is reward for spending thousands of pounds over the years through some shit seasons while some just fancy it since the takeover. I'm not talking about Ashley acceptance here either because many have been ST holders for decades and pre Ashley. Personally I chucked my ST when Rafa left, after having it for 29 years before anyone accuses me of thinking I'm holier than thou. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I kind of get that, I'd say the people more responsible for the takeover happening are the people who stopped going, not the people who continued going. If everyone had just kept packing the place out week on week, we'd still have Fat Mike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a season ticket holder has a ticket, that is their reward Obviously it's tough to find a solution where everyone is happy but allowing members to have priority then ST and then general sale seems fairer imo, though I accept I speak from a position of bias What is clear is that long term there needs to be a solution because our current stadium isn't big enough Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 I would also say you should not be rewarded and actually punished for supporting Mike Ashley all the years. Impossible to keep everyone happy. Think they are doing it is good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
