Perhaps there is 33,000 St holders but only 25,000 in Pots 1,2 and 3? Expand The wording seems to suggest it could sell out before pot 4 even starts.

HaydnNUFC Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Have to wait till pot 3 with all the others being in pot 2. Hope there’s still seats together in the lower tier. Would be feeling shafted if I wasn’t able to get one, given my attendance at all of the games bar Forest but would have zero chance of a final ticket.

This time its based on being a ST holder, being committed to and attending cup games. Aka you signed up for the whole thing, and bothered to go. Still miffed at the treatment of us members who've been to every home game like, but it is what it is. I made my bed when I fucked my ST off when Ashley couldn't be arsed to keep Rafa.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Is there an argument that it should be based on cup game attendance only, and not be divided between ST/members? Obviously as a member I think so Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Well, I only enrolled in the FA Cup scheme this year but ended up in the ballot for the LC games as I decided I’d try and go anyway. Didn’t get a single ticket and have ended up in Pot 6. My take is that so be it. It seems that the club are pushing ST holders into signing up or they’ll not be getting a ticket unless they tried to get tickets on a match by match basis and by luck they were successful in attending via ballot. It’s very hard to get it right. Looks like the pub for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously as a member I think so Expand Naturally, I just think the financial commitment for ST holders, and signing up to a cup scheme, should still be treated better than a membership, but thats just me, despite how it affects my personal ability to get a final ticket. I'd definitely be pissed off as a ST holder who'd attended 2 or more cup games and a member gets more preference than me, so it can't work both ways.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Guess some will come up on the resale market because ST holders who haven’t been bothered to attend a cup game now have the chance to get a very valuable ticket for the final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Pots 1 to 3 guaranteed a ticket according to FAQs. Also, pots 1 and 2 could wait until pot 3 to buy together if they wanted to. Pots 1 to 3 can’t enter ballots however.

craigmadge Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 (edited) i think the main frustration is having been to over 250 toon games in my life and being a member who attended 3 home games this season it looks like theres no chance of me going to a final until we move stadiums. Like others i sacked my ST off when rafa left. Edited February 10 by craigmadge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand But not in the financial commitment sense....it was all optional. The cup scheme was LC/FAC, and if you signed up, you committed to it all, regardless of if you wanted to go or not.... Hope that makes sense. End of the day, its a closed shop for ST holders. Such is the market demand. Nothing you can do about it and its shit but so is life sometimes. Was lucky to get a ticket last time round, for cost price. If I don't get one in the ballot, or by other means, I'll have to pay up. Just how it is.
