Cheers, looks different to what I was expecting. I thought all of Leazes corner was the same bracket. 

 

Also ballot doesn't mention family area so I don't know how that works. 

 

Category 2 looks biggest, but Gallowgate also has most ST holders. 

 

Fuck knows basically.

Exactly. Well done on the stupid pricing issue but the system is still awful and worse than last season. The trust etc need to recognise that and say way more is needed and ensure they don’t just sit around collectively patting their backs.

Have to say I'm fucked off with this new system, in my position I can basically no longer take the bairn to the odd game as I can't get myself a membership (as an st holder). 

 

Got the missus a membership but it's far from ideal as she doesn't want to go to matches and the prefers to go with me. 

 

Think I'll be writing to them as I'm sure there's plenty in the same boat. 

 

I know there'll be people who think 'ahh woe is you, least you have an st', but I couldn't give a shite, having one shouldn't deny me the opportunity to at least enter a ballot to take the bairn to the match every so often.

The only people who look daft after this fiasco are the twats on Twitter who sharply turned on the club in a very aggressive way, instead of raising concerns in a civil manner.

 

Some fucking cunts in our support who deserve the previous regime being re- instated.

£31 for an Adult ticket in Family Section.

 

I assume the Categories are still

 

1 - East Stand

2 - Mid Corners, Gallowgate & mid Leazes.

3 - Low level Leazes

 

Do you only see family if you have a child linked? It wasn't an option on mine. 

 

Based on the plan SteV posted it's much more complicated than that. 

 

And on the ballot the Premium areas are separate from category 1, so you can't hedge your bets on all of that.

Think I’ll watch Villa in the pub and go for the next game, this shitshow is all over the place, hopefully have something half decent in place time ballot for Liverpool opens

 

ideally everyone in ballot goes onto site the next day to pick a seat half the available tickets at 10 then half at say 7 if u don’t pick a seat by 12am the following day u get allocated one?

This does seem to be completely wrong like. Not being able to select an option from all available areas is needlessly restrictive. I’ve selected Platinum Club in the hope that they correct this before the tickets are allocated.

The system they have is obviously archaic and shit. Ideally it should have an algorithm in place where you pick a price point you're willing to pay and then it ballots you all those areas, ideally with a preference of where to sit or a subsequent option to then pick seat once balloted. 

 

The current system isn't intuitive enough so what we now appear to have is just separate ballots for each category. Obviously this creates a conundrum of where to go - creates the thought process of trying to game it based on how many tickets you think are in these areas, how many existing ST holders there are, how many do you think will apply etc. 

 

In the limitations of the system I can kind of see why they thought a fairer/easier way to do it was to just have one big ballot for all available seats. It's a big misjudgement that people would be happy to accept a lottery over price in the current climate, and tbh generally a massive misjudgement of general consumer behaviour. But now I see the alternative I can see why they made that call.

Can you not use her membership to go with bairn, they transfer your ST seat to someone else (or use whatever this apparent club reselling business is?).

 

All a bit messy admittedly, but should work to get you what you want?

A quick response from the club is a step in the right direction. Fair play to them.

 

But the system is still massively flawed. People want to choose their seat, it's been like that forever and giving us that choice via an online portal is not fucking rocket science.

It's a very basic level of customer service that any sporting or entertainment event offers. To not offer that is unacceptable.

 

Hopefully the Trust and whoever else the club listens to will keep up the pressure in a positive way and we'll see some more adjustment to what is still a shite system.
