So if your entering the ballot with 9 other gold members you want to sit with and one gets picked you can nominate 9 other people who's names are not picked out?

Just read Jim's replies on twitter-I'm not optimistic at all about getting a season ticket unfortunately. I have to be honest I'm not overly excited for the new membership scheme either! Not sure why our club is so slow with everything concerning ticketing. Literally every other club has already announced ST and membership details and most are on sale. It's always the same.

The silver membership pack clearly stated "- Second priority on any non-renewed Season Tickets for the 2017/18 season after Gold Fox Members". There would be uproar among gold members that missed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously if not enough golds enter the ballot they would open it up to silvers. But I think they will be snapped up by golds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlad the Fox Posted 5 June 2017 Share Posted 5 June 2017 I was hoping that they would take into consideration those that missed out in last years ballot, hopefully the Mrs and kids wont miss out again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a meeting last night. Fans forum sort of thing. But they didn't give much away but apparently tomorrow is the day for membership info. New website to go live on 4th july apparently with options to select seats etc on mobile and tablets etc and apparently they plan to release an app eventually. Lots of discussion about priority points both for away and home for members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of discussion about priority points both for away and home for members. I was wondering if they were going to bring out an app actually.....in this day and age I'm surprised it has taken so long. It will be interesting to see the new points system. I have been checking out other clubs membership schemes, and I think the one operated by Watford seems the fairest. Essentially they do one level of membership, but within that membership there are 3 categories. Those that have purchased 15+ tickets in the last 3 seasons, those that have purchased 6-15 tickets in the last 3 seasons, and those that have purchased less than 6 tickets in the last 3 seasons. Obviously you could adjust the number of games to reflect demand/our own situation. I thought it looked like a good system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think something like that would be fairer. Otherwise people who brought a membership and hand picked utd, liverpool, chelsea etc get same reward as those who went to say 15 plus games. However we will never please everyone same as the away schemes. My understanding is it is one flat membership next season but they didn't give a lot away from what I'm told by the person who attended. Might get myself on the list for the next one. Sounds like they spent a lot of time discussing the away points and abuse of system. Lots of talk of a european style collection system but that really is such a ballache relying on uk transport and road network to have to factor in another 45 mins to collect tickets. Not sure if the club will look to implement it at some point or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ticket exchange for home games is coming with next season, confirmed last night, season tickets for example will be able to sell up to 4 games a season via the club. However from my understanding you only get paid if the club can re-sell it. So how useful it will really be i don't know but i guess it means people are more likely to be willing to let the club have the chance to sell them rather than just let the seats go to waste by not using your season card.

Home tickets move slower than aways on my group but they always will and they usually all sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
