Season ticket holders should get ten thousand tickets each

Been told today they will go on sale at 9am on Monday 5 May, one per person from ticket office, no online sales.

Go Outdoors offering special deals on tents until then and the Railway has been granted a late licence into the early hours after the Basham charity game. Only allowed to sell Carling after 10pm though.

Ticket allocation for the away leg will be limited to 500 after ALL ex-players have received theirs to distribute amongst people they barely know.

Loyalty points not valid on Wilder's request due to those obtaining Oxford tickets for a smallish allocation being Gene Hunts.

Confirmed by George McCabe.

That sounds plausible based on past experiance. We have reyt good seats and same people get them and we miss out every time. I recon it’s someone int ticket office or their friends and family.

Be warned I’m going to photograph you and seek you out

Should be included in season ticket really it's kind of a league game.

It's not.

Don't goals count towards score charts?

Yes, like in the F.A Cup.

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Does away support count double if the semi is a tie?

 

[54yrblade]

Those with a ticket or stub from the Wembley semi v 'them' are to be given priority.
I've got two, and currently buying loads of red and white balloons
Sort yourselves out. I'm all good.

 

[VictoryBlade]

Cant someone email the club or supporters club and get them to ask them to be reasonable? I'm away for most of May so it don't effect me, but the Man City attendance was embarrassing! But I'm sure the club will no doubt sleepwalk into another one! For example one ticket per STH or Member is ridiculous when at other clubs you can at least get 4 (so your family and friends can sit together)?

 

[Sean Thornton]

Only if you manage to get a ticket for some random mate who lives overseas but is fortunately in the UK on the date of the match and who has the wherewithal to use the internet.

 

[jt64]

Not if they don`t start selling tickets until 3 days before the game

Well if they wait until we've lost the first leg then that would be a problem, yes

 

[JJBlade]

Hurrah for Wednesday

Speaking of retards

 

[MobileBlade]

I don't care what they charge.

I'm making a stand and refusing to go as they've completely fucked up the end of the season, and I've had to pay £13.50 to keep my plastic card for next season. (Bizarrely there's a £15.00 charge but no booking fee for a plastic card, but there is a £1.50 booking fee for phone access. How's that worked out )

If however we make it to Wembley I may have a change of heart as I will be back from my end of season holiday in Greece by then.

Change of Law came in earlier in the month about online booking fees. Basically have to be included in the price.

Leeds last season for the final:

Supporters who qualify to purchase tickets can purchase 1 ticket only on their customer number. In line with the EFL/ Wembley sales directive, a maximum of 6 tickets can be booked in one transaction. To be seated with friends and family, you must purchase tickets in the same transaction, as once a booking has been confirmed, no amendments or cancellations can be made.

Southampton:

"1 ticket per qualifying supporting number"


Luton the year before were allowed 6. Coventry 2.

Forest in '22 - 1 per person. Hudders - 6.

Two wouldn’t be out of the way though.

Absolutely agree.
Why do they not sell season tickets that include play-off or cup home games. They are in the "season" after all.

What would you charge as a premium on top of the regular price, and are you paying for the transaction costs of refunds when we are drawn away in both cups, lose, then finish eighth? Or is Crab Industries handling the refund side?

 

[The Fox]

I don't mind what they do for playoff tickets as long as the reasoning is coherently explained .
Lots of us really don't understand the reasoning behind ticket allocation and sales , there may be very good reasons for how the club do it but an explanation wouldn't go amiss .

 

[MTBlade]

Just seen Sunderland look to have started selling there home leg tickets (2nd tie i think) to season ticket holders for a special price, before going on general sale a few days into May at a general price.

Good idea and gives reward to season ticket holders.

Been done before - option of adding cup ties to your st renewal though you have to have a credit debit card linked to your account for automatic payments

 

[Blade58]

Maybe the club needs to know who we are playing so that teams name can be printed on the tickets....what could they put instead of the away teams name...?

Suggestions..i would put (sixth placed)...with a little addendum.........shit on the bastards below.

Would’ve thought they could just add the fixture to our phones or ST? That way they don’t actually have to print any tickets and then they could start selling way before we know who our opponents are

At one time you could opt to purchase cup tickets etc that were in addition to the season. By opting in you were guaranteed your sear but you were charged even if you didn’t go until the club was knocked out of cup.

 

[Panini]

FA rules don't allow it. It's the same at all levels.

 

[CornwallBlade]

By that logic, would you be calling for a partial refund if we failed to make it to Wembley then? As an exile, this is one of the very few opportunities I’ll get to watch a game.

 

[MobileBlade]

Because the opposition and also central organisers have a percentage of the receipts. For example play off semi finals, after staging costs, 50% goes into a central pool and then the 50% is divided between the 4 semi finalists.

The amount is based on the agreed gate prices so the club would need to increase the season ticket price based on perhaps playing 5 extra games at full price even if they did not play them. So just for easy figures if you paid £20 per game for season tickets, but non season tickets paid £30, the club would have to pay £30 into the two pools. If the other semi final was say Luton v Oxford where attendance at each would be barely 10,000 it would cost the club alot.
