Gerard Posted 25 May 2016 Share Posted 25 May 2016 As a gold member myself who tried to buy a ST last season I think a ballot would be fair enough. Anyone who purchased a gold membership for £75 obviously has invested enough and intends on going a lot of matches. I went to every home game last season in both cup and league apart from Everton at home when I missed out on a ticket and Palace & Man Utd when I was in Germany to watch the Klitschko vs Fury fight (once for the fight and the other for the postponed fight but I'd already booked a non refundable hotel and flights).

ramboacdc Posted 25 May 2016 Share Posted 25 May 2016 Having a season ticket should not be based on your own personal buying power within the club. As has been said, they get a box for their trouble - that's the deal. There's going to be no shortage of potential box holders wanting to snap them up if they get the hump because the club won't dance to their tune. We could scrap all box holder extra allocations (which we should in my opinion) and I doubt any of them would jack it in. as much as i get that point. money talks. and people expect services. sadly its the capitalist world we live in.

Burmesefox Posted 25 May 2016 Share Posted 25 May 2016 I think you need to read this thread or you could visit the OS where you would find this statement After the conclusion of the renewal process, a total of 304 Season Tickets for the 2016/17 Premier League season will be made available to Gold and Family Fox Members. Over 3,500 Gold and Family Members will be eligible to purchase the remaining 304 Season Tickets. With renewal rates at 98.7 percent and the increase in demand for the few remaining available seats, the Club will make an announcement on Wednesday 25 May as to how the 304 Season Tickets will be made available. This process will not change the priority process outlined in the Club’s Membership and Season Ticket conditions. The Club had previously stated that any remaining Season Tickets would go on sale on Thursday 26 May, but Season Tickets will not be placed on sale at this time. The Club kindly asks that Gold and Family Fox Members DO NOT queue at the City Fanstore on Thursday 26 May. Read more at http://www.lcfc.com/news/article/limited-number-of-season-tickets-to-go-on-sale-monday-3124591.aspx#lpkobK7mLoVeKIv3.99 I appreciate that, so still no word from the club on when those 304 ST's will be available? Even though it is Wednesday with just 1 hour and 10 minutes left of the working day. I thought they would have made the process clear by now.

Considering the potential fallout doing it after they've all gone home seems like a sensible idea. Gives people overnight to calm down as there's bound to be some very pissed off fans whichever way they go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voll Blau Posted 25 May 2016 Share Posted 25 May 2016 as much as i get that point. money talks. and people expect services. sadly its the capitalist world we live in. So? If the club are genuinely interested in rewarding loyalty they won't give preferential treatment to 'customers' (ugh) purely based on their ability to pay. Sadly, anecdotal evidence from certainly the second half of the past season suggests they still feel our richest 'fans' have them over a barrel, when they clearly don't.

Oh well.It was bang on 6pm yesterday when they shut which is when i think they will do it today. Call me cynical but do they do it at that time so the phone lines dont get swamped with people ringing up about it.Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 25 May 2016 Share Posted 25 May 2016 however true us fans would wish this to be, they can't pay the wages with our loyalty. I'm sure the TV deal will cover most of it.

People will moan if it was announced during the day when people might miss the news due to being at work. (I appreciate not everyone does a 9-5 job but majority do?)

You don't think he has a good point? no he doesn't you pay, what is to a lot of people, 5 years tax free pay you expect a service. box holders will always get priority on things because their money goes a lot further than season ticket holders money and defenetly members.

Can't believe you're defending this. They pay what they pay for a box. That's it. The club has no need to throw STs at them for free on top. Plenty of others would like them. By your logic I ought to expect a free pie next time I go to a match as a Gold member. Seeing as I'll have paid more for my seat than a STH. Jesus wept.
