AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 You literally don’t have any choice if you want to attend more than one game a year or whatever. It’s not worth the money but if the scheme exists then you have to be in it. 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 £40 is the only way to get access to tickets It's basically an annual tax to go to games, under the guise of offering a few shitty discounts that hardly anyone cares about 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 April 30 Share Posted April 30 Whoomp, there it is.......another ballot rejection letter I'm 99% certain I haven't had a single ballot win all season. Applied for every game too. Fun times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottman Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 1 success all season. Thankfully managed to get to quite a few on general sale. Imagine a lot will bin the memberships next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holloway Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 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 April 30 Share Posted April 30 0 for every possible game. I sorry that I'll never get a chance before a move to a new stadium. I don't mind the membership/tax and I see it as a charity donation to the club. 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. A couple of us are considering splurging and going hospitality either Chelsea or Everton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 It all comes back to SJP not being big enough, and even a 65k capacity stadium isn’t going to be big enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 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 April 30 Share Posted April 30 We should probably set up something better on the forum for people like @NobbySolano so we can get spares for people travelling. TBF you can always buy a ticket for any match on a third-party site if you’re only coming once or twice a year. £150 or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEEJ Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 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. I've managed to get to at least 15 home games through a combination of general sale queue success, F5 bashing, and gifted tickets.

JLC Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Similar here, 1 ballot success. I've probably applied for 75% of games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 I’ve applied twice for every game and think I’ve won twice in total. So about 1 in 20 by the end of the season I reckon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think that they would know I'm international given my address but even if they didn't I didn't see any communication about registering. So yeah that was a miss. I'm going to reach out.

Thanks fellas. If I knew that I could reliably get 2 tickets I'm sure I can figure out the logistics and make a weekend out of it. I got my wife a membership just so that I could try to win 2 tickets in the ballot. So I guess I'm 0 for 17+ (including cup) this year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

localshop Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 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...

Random. You get allocated your place as soon as it opens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhog63 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 As per Applied for every game, inc cups, bar the one. 2 memberships 2 matches attended 1 League, 1 Cup The two times I bothered my arse to look at the Members sale I could've got a ticket but didn't in the end.
