bowlingcrofty Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 We’ve got about 33k ST holders. We’d get about 33k tickets. I think there’s an obvious answer here (saying that as a non ST holder). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 (edited) Think Isak might start but rest of the team same as 1st leg. There’s an argument both ASM and Isak should start really but I think Howe will play it more cautious banking on us finishing chances this time.

Slim Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 (edited) Im thinking maybe like Liverpool? But tbh don't see why being a season ticket holder should get you final ticket if you didn't attend the cup games. Season ticket holders and Members based on the following Carabao Cup fixtures recorded during the 2021-22 season: Home games: Arsenal (January 13, 2022), Leicester City (December 22, 2021) Away games: Arsenal (January 20, 2022), Preston North End (October 27, 2021), Norwich City (September 21, 2021) A guaranteed sale will take place to supporters who recorded THREE of the above games. 2nd sale: Supporters who: Recorded TWO of the above games, and REGISTERED for the BALLOT, and Are SUCCESSFUL in the ballot Question is are st holders and eligible members going have wsit in the line at the same time. I'm hoping that's the case. Edited January 29, 2023 by Slim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of our 33k allocation - a proportion of that will be going to NUFC corporate, as well as players/club staff. I don't think all ST holders will get a ticket...

deejeck Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Not massively worried as have a modest number of loyalty points and have also been to all home cup games, but it will be interesting to see how it all develops if it's weighted in favour of cup attendance over loyalty points. Ticket allocation seems to be such a touchy subject. Got to get to the final first mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteV Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 (edited) Assuming we do get there (🤞) ticket distribution will rumble and rumble. There isn’t really a ‘right’ or ‘correct’ way to do it, and the vast majority of views are influenced by whatever position you find yourself in, but I can see multiple issues with basing it (primarily) on previous cup match attendance. My opinion (worth nothing) is it should go as: Loyalty Points Remaining ST holders on 0 points Members attending (any) matches this season Remaining Members General Sale (obviously would never get that far) Edited January 29, 2023 by SteV Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a season ticket (3 actually), have been to Palace, Bournemouth, Leicester and now Southampton but only got 7 loyalty points on the season tickets. Am I good to go? Or is there still a risk? You’ll be 100% fine. You are covered for all eventualities assuming we get there and are given 33K allocation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcnick Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 I’m a season ticket holder and have also been to all the cup home games, I would be pissed of we do get there and I don’t get a ticket because it goes to someone that has got more points than me but didn’t attend any cup games until the semi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 (edited) Interesting. The cup is its own thing and they had chance to go and didn't is my view. Just think but shit that you can show an interest because its the final but people who wemt to them all get fucked ha. Espically all the many moany cunt season ticket holders near me who said the Mitro penalty got disallowed because he was offside.

Turning your argument on it’s head, there’d be loyalty points holders who would say “I would be pissed off that someone who doesn’t bother to go away now wants to go just because it’s a final, and gets a ticket ahead of me”. Like I say, no easy or right way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the size of allocation I don’t think they will go down the loyalty route until they’ve exhausted demand from anyone with a ST who’s been to a cup game first. I think the ones on the shakiest ground who will possibly feel a little put out is anyone with a membership only that’s been to all the home cup games. I’ve a feeling that won’t hold as much sway as a ST with a single cup ticket purchase record. I want to stress this is just my opinion. I don’t have any inside information. Things would be a lot clearer if we had an exact number of ST holders versus allocation. As I’m guessing Liverpools allocation was 33K after their corporate grab not before it but again I could be wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re probably right, there’s a stronger argument for Isak starting out of anyone though. Isak will deserve his chance eventually and that might be against Saints or West Ham.

But if it was known that early round cup attendance got you a (better chance of a) final ticket, coupled with cheap tickets, the buy to sell would become massive.

Because I think committing to every home league game for the full season requires more "effort" or "loyalty" than going to the earlier rounds of the cup. In my view the process would be fairest: 1. ST holders with Loyalty points (drop it in increments down to say 5/10 points). 2. Remaining tickets go to ST Holders with no loyalty points but attended all home cup games, then ST holders that missed 1 cup game, etc. etc. until sold out. It would personally benefit me if members would have a shot - because it would mean my dad would get a ticket based on cup games this year. But I don't think it's right he gets priority over the above 2 categories. Edited January 29, 2023 by TheDimpleboy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDimpleboy Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 (edited) I'd also suggest the club would do well to encourage our more 'vocal' fans/with most loyalty points to buy tickets behind the goal. And maybe families/older supporters to purchase tickets round the sides/higher tiers. It's likely that supporters will be standing all game behind the goal (pretty much every team at wembley's fans stand behind the goal), and some people who don't want to stand may be a bit miffed if they end up with no choice but to do so. We've got to win on Tuesday first like Edited January 29, 2023 by TheDimpleboy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
