Said on the other thread in ticketing that I got knocked back but wasn't too arsed because of the prices. Will take a few cans along and watch it in my mates bar instead.

 

In hindsight renewing mine and the bairns memberships this season probably wasn't the smartest move. If I'd known how much they were putting the tickets up by I wouldn't have bothered, regardless of success rate of getting them.

Actually won the ballot to take the bairn, 89 quid back of the Gallowgate :lol:

 

89 quid.  Mad. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mate of mine just text before. Him and his bairn (12) got tickets in the Milburn Paddocks. £112 for an adult and a kid, and if it rains they get wet :lol:

If anyone’s interested, we’re now going to add a poll to each home game thread in the tickets section, which should, in theory, show us what the average success rate is for N-O members each game. Liverpool one is there now.

 

Won’t help anyone get a ticket, but doesn’t hurt to have a little bit of data to go with your expectations.

Absolute madness it is, I have a season ticket so I need to shift that at some point.... But because I have a season ticket, I also have to buy a membership for me and the bairn so I can apply for ballots with her.  The money involved in match days now is mental.

Will they ever do another waiting list? I think including that with membership might be an idea

FAB are already in discussions with the club about it for one being rolled out for new ground/expansion.

 

Wouldn’t be surprised if the argument for the new ground as opposed to extension is made by the club that the former will create a waiting list.

Yeah it's getting ridiculous now. £58 in the Gallowgate and £75 in the East Stand just isn't realistic up here. I just happened to glance at Chelseas ticket prices yesterday and the are pretty much in line with ours now! Staggering really.

 

Started to make my preparations for "drifting away from it" 2 years ago when they brought the ballot system in as I knew that would end my days as a regular attending supporter and it would be down to luck of the draw and my attendance would become sporadic and that's just not me. I don't like not being in control of when I can and can't go to the match.

 

I watch a fair amount of Non League to fill the void of missing out on certain NUFC games, occasionally watching Heaton Stan play as they're within walking distance but by chance I ended up taking in a Berwick Rangers game over the Xmas of 2023 and enjoyed it so much that I started to go pretty regularly last season and this summer I decided to purchase a season ticket (£130). I know I won't make every game but at that price I'm not that bothered about missing a few (It's a tenner to get in anyway) and they are genuinely so grateful for the support. I got a lovely letter enclosed with my season ticket thanking me for my "valued support" and it does make you feel like an actual supporter, not a customer, or worse still, a customer number. It's just little things like that. 

 

Got my rejection email for Liverpool off NUFC earlier and whereas in the past I'd have been gutted, it was more shrug of the shoulders stuff, and in some ways quite happy I wasn't getting hammered for these mental ticket prices.

 

Anyway, first game of the season for me on Saturday. Cowdenbeath at home. Good crowd and good away following expected. Really looking forward to it!
