Monsell1976 Posted 4 April 2016 Share Posted 4 April 2016 Not sure about the rest of the corporate areas, but box holders only get 2 tickets per box. My family has a box (not for business use, just so the family can all go together, we have a 10 seat box, and have done since the League One season. But we only get an allocation of 2 away tickets for the entire box. We used to go to home and away games together, but this season, understandably, there has been a higher demand for away tickets, so we get 2 tickets for the entire box, despite the fact that we effectively have 10 season tickets. when we were still in the Championship, there was a lot less demand for tickets, so there was never an issue, but when we pay for 10 season tickets, and, obviously, executive boxes are not cheap, you would think we should be entitled to 1 away ticket per box seat. I understand its unusual that we have a box as a family, rather than as a corporate advertising tool, like most other box holders, but i don't see why we are only entitled to 2 tickets between 10 season ticket holders. Obviously i know i won't get a lot of sympathy for this, but imagine if you had 10 season tickets in the Kop for your whole family, but get told you are only entitled to away tickets between you. would you be happy about it? By corporate, I was thinking more of sponsors, businesses the owners mix with etc, companies the club uses, or are trying to get to invest in us, I.e advertising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiffToff88 Posted 4 April 2016 Share Posted 4 April 2016 That depends if I'd gone to enough away games in the past three seasons to justify being able to get them. However you should have 10 references at 100 points to build up away points on so that you can buy more, that would seem fair. that would seem fair, like i said, before we got promoted back to the premier league, most of us went home and away together for years, but for whatever reason, it was decided that the box is to be treated as an individual box holder, rather that 10 individuals. It is very disappointing, but i guess its all part and parcel of becoming a bigger, more highly supported club, and if missing a lot of away games is the price i have to pay for supporting a successful club, so be it.

Walkers Wench Posted 4 April 2016 Share Posted 4 April 2016 Jim said something similar, don't buy the figures to be fair, tickets for me are being sold to corporate, players probably get more, I don't know, but they are going somewhere, and not to the fans in the priority system. Exactly! Went to the ground for 9am this morning to buy seven tickets, all P2, to be told none left. Was prepared to go back tomorrow to chance my arm on P3 day for others in my party that arent p2..knew p3 would be a long shot. Whats the point in having priority ladder to work up, if people with zero priority get tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have 10 season tickets in the kop! We are all family. But priority isnt based on wether you are a season ticket holder or not, it's if you travel to away games to acrue points. Which we do. We travel to as many aways as we can do to, my son is P1, the majority of the rest are P2 and we have all missed out on this. So cross today!

Most are local companies and if they didn't have a box they would be sat in west stand I can understand people's frustration but the reality is it's always going to be hard I get - ticket unless you qualify to be in the 2500 that get sold and even then it's not easy Sorry seen your further posts I agree the thought of the playboy club london getting 20 tickets for this is wrong and York point is valid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club say there is over 4000 people now in in P1 and p2 With the internet sales starting over night at midnight you never really ever stood a hope of buying one at 9am I think the short term solution is better communication on this from the club Formally letting people know how many remain and what time they can can them and what medium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhere did it say (or that i saw anyhow) that i could purchase online from midnight. The office said today that the last few hundred were put up for sale by this medium at that time. There should have been over a thousand left at this time anyway, thats even if all 1900 P1s had taken their allocation. My head hurts to think about it now, so stopping!

I know how away tickets are allocated, that's why I'm frustrated because as I said, my family have travelled to away games together for years, but the club have decided to disregard this history and decided that rather than counting us as 10 different people, we now count as 1 boxholder, and are only eligible for 2 away tickets between us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P1 125+ P2 118+ P3 113+ I'm sure halfway through last season they upped the points bracket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
