Simi Posted 5 March 2009 Posted 5 March 2009 Due to some of the small allocations and high demand matches this season, there has been a lot of worrying and confusion about whether or not tickets will make a certain date etc... Hopefully this thread will help people in finding out whether an allocation is likely to make a certain day or not. To achieve a certain priority for this season (2008/09) you needed to have completed the following amount of away games LAST season. Priority 3 - Any season ticket holder Priority 2 - Between 8 and 13 away games last seasonPriority 1 - 13 or more away games last season In an e-mail taken from the Peterborough United thread, recieved by Matt, Jim attempted to clear up some of the confusion with the regards to the numbers holding a certain priority. This is an extract from that e-mail. We have around 900 priority 1’s and about 400 priority 2’s.Kind Regards Jim Ticket Office If anybody has any further information that they think will be helpful to this thread, then PM either Lisa or myself. No chit-chat in here, just questions really, please.
JakeShingler Posted 5 March 2009 Posted 5 March 2009 Do away cup games count in your prioraty? I have been 7 away games(League) And 1 cup mach away?
Simi Posted 5 March 2009 Author Posted 5 March 2009 Do away cup games count in your prioraty?I have been 7 away games(League) And 1 cup mach away? I am 90% sure that cup games count as a game on your priority.
Simi Posted 5 March 2009 Author Posted 5 March 2009 Also note that tickets brought on the gate WILL NOT be awarded to your priority without going into the ticket office with a stub to certify you went. Priority cards can be obtained from the ticket office where a member of staff can happily sign it to show you went to that game.
Dan Posted 8 March 2009 Posted 8 March 2009 Say its Monday 16th March and I was a priority 1, how many tickets would I be able to buy for non-priority 1 people for the Peterborough game?
Simi Posted 8 March 2009 Author Posted 8 March 2009 Say its Monday 16th March and I was a priority 1, how many tickets would I be able to buy for non-priority 1 people for the Peterborough game? None.
Simi Posted 8 March 2009 Author Posted 8 March 2009 I assume he means 4000 Priority 2? Would never be that much considering our turn outs from last year, thought it'd be more than 400 though. Obviously that probably doesn't include the staff that get tickets put aside...
Craig Posted 8 March 2009 Posted 8 March 2009 Would never be that much considering our turn outs from last year, thought it'd be more than 400 though.Obviously that probably doesn't include the staff that get tickets put aside... Ahhh yeah, good point. Scandalous really.
Katy Posted 8 March 2009 Posted 8 March 2009 Say its Monday 16th March and I was a priority 1, how many tickets would I be able to buy for non-priority 1 people for the Peterborough game? None. Yeah, because if you think about it, it would be grossly unfair to the people who put their hand in their pocket to stump up for a season ticket and get off their arses to go to a massive amount of away games; if someone who was 'lucky'enough to know someone who has a Priority 1 number snaffles all the tickets. You have to be rewarded for your loyalty somehow.

Well it was this I was whinging about for the Northampton game, nothing against A Fox In Essex but he told me he got a ticket on the Monday because he knows someone that is priority one, so really it defeats the point in the system.
Fez of Mahrez Posted 8 March 2009 Posted 8 March 2009 I bought two additional tickets for Millwall on the second day of sale without having to mention anything about priority or who they were for. That's the problem (they were for P1/P2 people, but I didn't get asked). And surely 400 is wrong, he probably meant 4000 as Craig says. ALTHOUGH... perhaps if you went to less than half the away games the season before, you wouldn't bother sorting out what priority you were?
Asha Posted 8 March 2009 Posted 8 March 2009 Can't really see there being 4000 priority 2s. Surely there wouldn't be that many people who would go between 8-13 away games...most going to either a few or a lot more? It's quite a small bracket as well, 400 would make sense to me.
Katy Posted 8 March 2009 Posted 8 March 2009 I guess we'll find out when the Priority 3's attempt to get their tickets for Peterborough.....
Alexikokopops Posted 9 March 2009 Posted 9 March 2009 I am 90% sure that cup games count as a game on your priority. I was pretty sure they didn't. I could be completely wrong but I didn't take them into the ticket office when I sorted out my priority at the beginning of this season for that reason.
Simi Posted 9 March 2009 Author Posted 9 March 2009 I was pretty sure they didn't. I could be completely wrong but I didn't take them into the ticket office when I sorted out my priority at the beginning of this season for that reason. If they don't get added to the system then why does the same sales rule apply when selling them? I was fairly sure it mattered. I'll give them an e-mail tomorrow.

I'll give them an e-mail tomorrow. Because it would be a complete and utter free for all for big games if they didn't? We took 6000 to Chelsea and there were more who wanted tickets, imagine all them ringing up on a Monday. The ticket office barely copes as it is! Then again, I could just be chatting shit, I'm pretty good at that.
SamL Posted 9 March 2009 Posted 9 March 2009 I was pretty sure they didn't. I could be completely wrong but I didn't take them into the ticket office when I sorted out my priority at the beginning of this season for that reason. I'm pretty sure they counted towards my priority when I took them in at the start of the season. I handed all of my tickets over the counter and they were all counted together, no mention of which ones were from cup games or not.

Katy Posted 17 March 2009 Posted 17 March 2009 Ah, fair enough. I blame Fez for telling me otherwise. That's right, it's all your fault Fez. HAVE THAT. Yeah, I remember Syston telling me ages ago that cup games count and because of that I've always included the Rotherham game into my away games. I'm on the magic 13 now . Shame I haven't renewed my season ticket.....yet.
