jack j Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Would like to know how many ticket applications there were altogether like, must have been over 50k? That fitted the criteria in any of the periods. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how accurate that is, I've never bothered to check, but if Brighton are doing that or something along those lines, it's a fair bet we'll be thinking of implementing something similar. Has to be done really. You can’t have people keeping season tickets for convenience or getting loyalty points off other people’s money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFEE Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 8 minutes ago, Hovagod said: How many non-season ticket holders got tickets for the finals in the 90s? The ones that bought the cup ticket packages along with their STs got priority or the ones without STs who paid for the clubs travel packages. There were ST holders that didn’t get Final tickets. Back in the 90’s our ground only held 36k which you then took 2k away for away fans. We never got 34K final tickets as old Wembley capacity was 80k. So the point I’m making still stands. Cup purchase history has always been important to the club. As has means to go to a final without a ST. The margins of allocations and the haves and have nots were smaller then hence very little to none complaining. Life/Football has changed however. You didn’t get groups of families going with kids etc in groups of 4/6/8. I’ve read on here from various people I couldn’t go without the kids/other half etc etc. As if that’s was the attitude of the 90’s ? Half the reason you went to the match was to get away from them for a few hours ? So fast forward next final (hopefully in my lifetime) and all ST holders have bought ALL possible home cup round tickets. The club will still have to prioritise anyone attending away cup ties so that will go back to those who have loyalty points. So that leaves people unhappy. Then if the ground is expanded do they bother to increase ST holder amounts knowing it gives them a bigger headache? Or does there concern lie with the other part of the fan base buying tickets via membership and general sale and how do they not lock them out in the future and keep them engaged for attending cup games etc? Taking a step back the way they have split the tickets they have had all these factors in mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. I was having this discussion the other day. Footylimbs and goal celebrations seem to have improved (perhaps due to faking the celebration courtesy of social media and throwing pints etc?). However, with that it does seem that attendances across the whole pyramid are up home and away. You’d never have thought a club like Brighton would be a PL club with 25-30,000 at each home game and having a decent-ish away following. Clearly they do if there is reselling going on. Football really does seem to be absolutely massive these days doesn’t it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geogaddi Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 (edited) The away games points will calm down next season I reckon and certainly over the next few years, it's all just new at the minute that we are actually doing well so everyone wants to be part of it, plus if we get into Europe people are likely to prioritise a European away game over a league away game.

huss9 Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 i thinks its time the clubs pushed the FA on cup final ticket allocations. does the carabao cup really need 30k tickets to neutral, corporate etc. especially as most neutrals i know with club wmbley tickets have sold them on to manu or nufc fans. also isnt the fa cup final allocation only about 20k tickets per team?

The point is that, in this case, a section of those that have lost out have done so unnecessarily and unfairly. It's not 'whatever happens', it's 'whatever did happen in this specific case'. Again, why is it unfair? Any season ticket holder who wanted to go had the change to guarantee themselves a ticket. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m amazed they’re still married That’s what I loved about the away days as a younger bloke. 16-21 year old, saving up your money, buying a ticket with all your mates and going on a dreadful bus full of bigger and harder radgies than you. Sadly, that experience will occur less and less as the club becomes a closed shop - IF this isn’t dealt with properly. Been humming and harring a lot since going to the NUST AGM, but I’m really starting to think I might stand at the next AGM. Ticketing is the number 1 issue for its supporters - and the outcry from yesterday looks like the majority aren’t happy. It’s only going to get worse. It needs addressed properly now and I’m not sure I have the utmost faith in it being addressed efficiently and transparently after reading the AGM minutes.

And if the season ticket holder had gone to three games they would have got a ticket no questions asked. There's a history of cup attendances being taken into account for cup final allocations. Given how insane everyone knew the demand would be I genuinely don't think there's cause for complaint if you didn't go to 3 of Bournemouth, Palace, Leicester and Southampton.
