This is bonkers. I’m sorry like. The Club can absolutely get to fuck on ticketing. So am I missing something - how did those day trippers get tickets?

Could have been ST holders that got them in a ballot. Could have get them via corporate. Could have bought them off someone. Could have bought them off a resale site. Could be ST holders with points.

SteV Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Just now, TheDimpleboy said: Either international ballot, corporate or players/staff allocation I'd imagine There’s no international ballot for away matches as far as I’m aware? Tbh it’s fairly unclear if there’s one for home matches (although there presumably is). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 (edited) The way they've flatly stated that they've made improvements to the ticketing system in the midst of everyone complaining about it is galling like. It's clearly not fit for purpose as it currently stands and my gut feeling is that we're all customers now, who'll get the PR shpeil about how great and valued we are, but when push comes to shove even our most diehard supporters are less valuable customers than random tourists willing to pay more. I'd like to think the Trust would have a say, but the last time I checked they were on board with the changes as they are.

The ballot option wasn’t available. The argument would probably be that people with higher points are now reluctant to pass them on to anyone, so the ‘networks’ that people have built up, and allowed them to become regular away followers have been taken away. The theory being that people with lower points, will buy tickets and just sell them on to anyone, as they are desperate to build points. All just supposition like, and the people in the pic might have got tickets perfectly legitimately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn’t seem to have changed at all then So some people with high points are less likely to sell on their tickets (whereas last season people with no points could get tickets from their high point mates). And now those with low points are buying tickets just to sell on and boost their points (so those same people with no points can still buy tickets from those people). So what has changed?

bobbydazzla Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 (edited) Assuming the older asian people in that pic from Brighton are genuinely day trippers, they're exactly type of fans that the club now want at home and away games. It was mentioned millions of billions of times in the Amazon doc by Silverstone & Eales. They're targeting Asia, Middle East and America and want to build a global brand. You can't do that when access to tickets is via a network of geordie lads who've followed the team for years. Many of us who have consistently been to home or away games will hate that this situation is happening. But it's the new NUFC.

The argument is that the ‘type’ of people who are ending up with the tickets has changed. It’s an emotive argument because you start getting into the territory of who’s the ‘better’ supporter etc. and who ‘deserves’ a ticket more blah blah And, I’m not stating any of this as fact because I/we don’t really know exactly what caused the empty seats / different type of supporters at Brighton.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 (edited) But nothing about the away game system is anything in that direction (day trippers), is it? Only ST holders can buy tickets and they're not allowed to sell them on. So... Edited September 5, 2023 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
