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 No, you can’t. Not sure whether the ‘new’ account would have to have different details to original one too?

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. ?

Mate of mine has done this with both of his ST's. Just gives the old phone to whoever for each home game. Edited August 21, 2023 by Minhosa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 (edited) Just seems weird that transferring 10 tickets a season isn’t enough for someone. Edited August 21, 2023 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

You could argue that there could maybe be a weighting aspect where if you’ve been unsuccessful previously you somehow get more chance next time. Although at the minute, that’s miles too complicated for what’s in place. That’s before you get into the fact that people would probably rather be successful in certain games etc. As the season goes on the discrepancy between those who keep getting picked and those that don’t, should narrow you would hope.

It’s meant to be fairer how is that at all fair? Contact Suporter Services team and let them know. This new process is utter dogshit for so many reasons and the more people who contact the club hierarchy to explain why they don’t like it, the better. It’s because of people complaining about the old system that we have this crusty spunk rag of a new system in place. So they clearly listen to complaints, just the attempted solution is minging.

The box office seemed to suggest this was the case (and would be wise as you can’t have some people getting no value for their £37 compared to others) but how they would do that I’m guessing with an algorithm. Not that being told anything by the box office face to face feels like anything official ? Definitely something that will become clearer as the season progresses.

No way they could adopt something as modern as an algorithm on our shite IT system It’s more likely that they’d use Gypsy Rose Lee in her caravan on the Bigg Market to predict who’s already been successful in the ballot or not That’s about the level of complexity our website can handle Edited August 21, 2023 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I’ve said my availability for matches isn’t large. I’m probably only available for about half the home games and that’s 2 gone already. I know that’s not the fault of the club but under the old system I’d be confident of getting to 2 or 3. Signs not looking good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
