AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 You literally donāt have any choice if you want to attend more than one game a year or whatever.Ā Ā Itās not worth the money but if the scheme exists then you have to be in it.Ā Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbydazzla Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 (edited) Unless you can get a member (by illegal email) or season ticket holder (by legal transfer) to send you their ticket, then paying your Ā£40 is the only way to get access to tickets Ā It's basically an annual tax to go to games, under the guise of offering a few shitty discounts that hardly anyone cares about Ā Bunce for the club, fuck all in return for most match going fans Edited April 25 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbydazzla Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago Whoomp, there it is.......another ballot rejection letter Ā I'm 99% certain I haven't had a single ballot win all season. Applied for every game too. Fun times. Ā Ā Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottman Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago 1 success all season. Thankfully managed to get to quite a few on general sale. Imagine a lot will bin the memberships next year.Ā Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holloway Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago Paid me tax, one success all season. Probably would have had a bit more luck in general sale but that means last minute travel plans. Fuck it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NobbySolano Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago 0 for every possible game. I sorry that I'll never get a chance before a move to a new stadium. Ā I don't mind the membership/tax and I see it as a charity donation to the club.Ā Ā However as an international supporter, who needs planning, wish that they had a scheme for us. It doesn't have to be a huge allocation, but we are at a disadvantage competing with locals. I can't imagine there are that many of us willing to travel for a random game. Ā A couple of us are considering splurging and going hospitality either Chelsea or Everton.Ā Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago It all comes back to SJP not being big enough, and even a 65k capacity stadium isnāt going to be big enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago Any chance of a poll @admins? Would be good to have the feedback of success rate in the ballot only per membership and I can pass it on. More advanced options if possible like how many games/ballots attempted etc but not essential if a pain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago We should probably set up something better on the forum for people like @NobbySolanoĀ so we can get spares for people travelling.Ā Ā TBF you can always buy a ticket for any match on a third-party site if youāre only coming once or twice a year. Ā£150 or something.Ā Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEEJ Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago I've had only 1 ballot success for PL games this season and 2 others in the cups (plus a box office phonecall giving me a returned ticket for the final). I think I've applied for all but 2 games this season.Ā Ā I've managed to get to at least 15 home games through a combination of general sale queue success, F5 bashing, and gifted tickets.Ā Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

localshop Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Is the queue position in the general sale allocated at random, or can you log in 3 hours before to guarantee a better placing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
