Will it matter if he waits till then? I think what I'm trying to say, is, these things dont sell out do they? They certainly haven’t before, and it seems unlikely they will now, even given the huge rise in demand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoreboard82 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Will we end up with so many members that they outnumber the tickets available and some will still miss out? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theoretically, that could happen, but I honestly don’t think it will now they’ve cut it to one ticket per match. We’ll see what happens when we play Man Utd and Liverpool, as they’re always the most in demand (unless of friendly neighbours ever get round to sorting themselves out…) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffee_Johnny Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Well, how many season tickets are there? How many ‘potential’ league match tickets on sale? Because I reckon we’re looking at tens of thousands of members. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think you’re over-estimating the number of members we’ll get. Plenty of people will talk about it, but when it comes to parting with nearly £40, it’ll be a different story.

Dr Venkman Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Based on the group I go with there’ll be roughly 4-6 times as many members as there was last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 8 hours ago, SteV said: Understand the criticism of ST holders being allowed to get additional tickets - BUT - I don’t think it’ll be a massive issue going forward now they’ve knocked it down to one. They’ve effectively halved the number of tickets that will be taken through this method, so I’m not not sure we’re going to get scenarios like Liverpool last season where it’s absolute chaos as soon as tickets go on sale. And to be fair, the majority of home games after the takeover still took a week+ to sell out. The Forest game is gonna be a good gauge of whether I’m right I suppose. Obviously, if the criticism is more based on the principal of it, fair enough. That’s a fair point. It’s about the principal and the practical IMO. As well as it disadvantaging members who are only paying for a chance to get tickets, it also impacts on those who may not be able to afford memberships and just want a chance to get a match ticket without paying for the privilege. I understand that some may use ST friends accounts, etc, but again that relies on them being lucky enough to know someone with a ST. Bearing in mind the ratio of ST holders to spare seats is roughly 2:1 I think I it’s a huge disadvantage to members/non-members and makes the buying process a lot more stressful than it should be. ST holders already have their seat for the rest of their life, if they want it, that’s enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Also, while I’m on, it really irritated me that NUST included extra match ticket access for ST holders in their little manifesto. You can’t say that you prioritise access to tickets for as many fans as possible and also say that ST holders get first dibs, that’s bollocks.

bowlingcrofty Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Yeah, additional tickets for ST holders is basically a way for someone to circumvent the membership scheme because you happen to “know someone” with a season ticket. You could argue it’s discrimination against non ST holder members who are having to pay extra to the club to get tickets through no fault of their own. Surely they must put a stop to it.

Wilson Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Going to get the bairn one, am I right in thinking that I'll be able to link it to my season ticket so if I want to get her and the missus a ticket for some matches, I'll be able to get them 2 next to each other?

There wasn’t very many tickets left for general sale at all last season. Now take away 1000 extra season tickets and the extra up take in memberships some people will definately miss out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll have approx the same number. I still think it’ll be relatively easy to get a ticket for matches as long as you’re online in the queue ahead of members sale.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 I bought two tickets for every game last season, but I was always logged on when they came out. Obviously demand is going to be much higher, I’m not really sure how many people can/will be logged on at 10am every time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
