If you want to stop it, stop charging the fee and stop them being members. Or at least make it an optional extra at the point of renewing a ST Yeah exactly, separate ST and member so you can't be both. One ticket per person, either in advance via ST or in the sale via membership. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very easy to get round as you’d just get one in a different name at the same address, but that notwithstanding, I would have no issues with them doing that.

Obviously for this season we can't go back and change anything. They aren’t selling any further STs though. The ground is basically split 60/40 in STs favour which is more than fair Or are you saying there should be no season tickets at all now? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slim Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Should probably sell more season tickets then. I don't know what else I can do to ever get to a final. Went to all the games only to be told someone with a ST who had no interest in going but now fancy's it because of the final can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said earlier they were available for under £500 for best seat in the house if you paid in advance like you would and use ST money you’ve saved not having one. Pretty standard these days when Blur are charging £150 and Madonna £400+ etc at Wembley for a gig you could travel and see for cheaper elsewhere. So what you are arguing it is the price not the availability. If it was first come first served for £250+ which it is a year in advance those who would want to go the most will go. If we don’t get to a final you just re-sell face value to the team that make it ??♂️ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In future seasons maybe we need to scale back the benefits of ST ownership a bit, so that more people can get tickets for games. Not that it will ever happen, I just thought it was interesting to think about the concept of ST holders getting everything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did this which drops me from 3 to 2 of the cup games attended. The key is to link the accounts which I subsequently learned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I’ve just highlighted you got 2 Liverpool tickets whilst having only a membership yet I’ve a ST for 30 years approx with over 200 LPs and I’ve not managed to get a ticket for someone to go with so not on my own. Only benefits they gain are well earned over many baron years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

christ Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Speaking as someone who has to fire up every device within a quarter mile radius to even have a sniff of getting a ticket when they go on member sale, I don’t really have an issue with ST holders or the club’s approach. You pay for an ST you’re at the front of the queue. It’s always been the case. I don’t think they’re getting overly preferential treatment (only quibble I’d have is pots 5 and 6). Shit that people who want to go will miss out but that’s just life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's class how lots of ST holders help out other people with tickets, and you're absolutely right about barren years (without debating the Ashley situation). It's always going to be a difficult topic when we have so many fans and very limited tickets, hopefully you get the point I'm making about favouring ST holders above everyone else. The discussion could go on forever, if I had hundreds of loyalty points I'd probably be arguing the other side Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would pay for a season ticket, so would thousands of others. We just can't. Having one doesn't mean you are a better fan or anything. I presume the theory behind loads of benefits to ST holders is to sell them, but we have one of those situations where they would sell themselves hundreds of times over. Just weird is all.

Jaqen Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 It's really daft to suggest fans should just pay £2k for a ticket because they've 'saved' money on not having a season ticket. Those fans could easily have spent more money in the last year going to games than season ticket holders. Not saying they deserve to get a ticket more but £2k is a ridiculous price to pay for one game for the average fan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
