2 adults gone. 2 adults, 1 over 65 still available

Plans have now changed so have 4 adults and 1 Over 65 available

Chased mine last week and was told they were being sent out this week.

One spare adult ticket for tonight if anybody needs one.

Agreed, the system isn’t perfect but where do you draw the line? There’s always somebody that has held a season ticket longer or has done more away games. The system was much simpler 15 years ago when it was based on the number of away matches you attended during each season as a Season Ticket Holder. There’s also a valid point that we generally have a core of Season Ticket Holders that do the vast majority of away games and have done so for a number of years. Even if you take away the 50 points for a Season Ticket and based it purely on away matches then they would still be ahead in the system - you can’t please everybody. A suggestion would be made to reduce the longevity of valid priority points - that way you would potentially get a drop off of people doing away matches no matter how small; although you’d potentially still end up with the same issue. No system is perfect. The suggestion that it’s a closed shop and Season Ticket Holders lower down the scale are unable to get tickets is simply false as I’ve proven in this thread with Cardiff and Millwall making it way down the priority scale.

Also plenty left for Millwall (a). The current priority system is only unfair if it suits your agenda in not being able to get tickets for the higher profile games, despite not putting the hard yards in for the vast majority of others.

Agreed, although I’d love to see the numbers and breakdown by priority - how many have done 10 years and an average of 10 aways per season for example. We’re fortunate to have had a sustained period of success - do we simply now have 2,000 STH’s for example that have had their ST for a number of years and have done the vast majority of away games? We’ve taken numbers and sold out allocations for as long as I can remember; a reason as to why the atmosphere has now gone extremely stale (a debate for another thread!). Even if the priority system were to change I feel there would still be the same problem. Many would still find an excuse for the less attractive games and there would still be an issue for the high profile ones.

Plenty, including myself, have done the hard yards over the years; trips to Newcastle, Southampton and Cardiff all falling midweek several times. I continue to do similar fixtures as somebody with a high priority; with tickets for both Ipswich and Cardiff in the bag. I accept that the system isn’t perfect and I’m lucky in a sense that I began following the Club away when our average away attendance was much lower and tickets were easier to come by. That said, I’ve done 95% of away matches for as long as I can remember and the only time threads like these come about is for the high profile matches; always excuses for the less attractive fixtures.

Plenty left for Cardiff (a).
