patrone Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I've used the discount at Shearers and tour discount a few times, and also the pre match 10% off the odd time when in the Platinum. Anyone can hire the room for events though, no different to members, and I've no idea what the "digital events" are Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallsendmag Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Could clearly see a big block of empty seats on TV, towards the back of the away end at the left of you looked towards it as well as plenty others dotted around. Sad to see really but that's the road the club want to go down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 (edited) Was it confirmed that all tickets for Brighton were sold in the ballot, did anyone report not getting one ? Is there a possibility it was undersubscribed and they just never arsed themselves selling the remaining ones to members ? The trust need to start putting some pressure on the clubs ticketing policy it’s a complete shower at the minute.

jack j Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 The pictures of the empty seats suggests that there wasn't some sold at all rather than people loyalty point collecting like Shambles either way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 So are the point hoarders buying tickets and just not going since they can't just pass them on anymore? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 (edited) Got a feeling they held their ballot didn’t shift all the tickets, maybe had some corporate ones returned and for whatever reason they have no current policy/will to put on sale to members. If that’s the case the membership scheme really is a joke if they can’t be bothered to offer unsold away tickets to members. Also worth noting the club get charged for unsold away tickets if that was the case here. Edited September 2, 2023 by Whitley mag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 If it's people hoarding points though, have a 3 strikes and you're out policy. Pretty sure the club can get from the away ground which seats having scanned in. Can't just give the tickets to a mate anymore. The people who were benefitting from this you'd imagine can get tickets when the loyalty points drop through the categories, or the tickets taken up in the ballot etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vedder Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 So the people complaining about people buying away tickets and not attending themselves are now buying tickets and not attending? But now the seats are empty rather than giving them to fans who have no other way of getting to away games. Unbelievable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vedder Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 I know you can’t say for certain who is attending etc but the fact points are dropping further suggests many people who were buying them to pass on have stopped. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 I think it’s quite obvious that there’s been a cock up at the clubs end. The empty seats all being together suggests they are from a single transaction or allocation thereabouts. Seems a stretch to think that a dozen or more people who have bought not to use were all just happening to be sat together surely. Probably the batch for corporate boxes and they thought it was too much hassle in the end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KetsbaiaIsBald Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 The problem is the selfish wankers buying the ticket for the point and not going. Hopefully all clubs can get together so every ticket is scanned failure to go results in negative points. There is ton of people who would have loved to have gone to yesterday and this is getting twisted into it being the clubs fault. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I would guess that’s more of an IT issue but I’ll stand corrected obviously if not. I just know at point of purchase I’m notified I’ve gained one. I guess it’s set up so it’s added if fixture goes ahead rather than you attend for refund purposes etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
