billyn88 Posted 31 July 2017 Share Posted 31 July 2017 253 entries so far it appears. Probably looking at a 1 in 6 to 1 in 8 chance. Better than nothing I guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are guaranteed member's tickets already put aside, so I'm not sure the date is relevant. But they certainly have priority over any ST ticket holders that are below the bracket it sells out at, for any game, which is baffling. And for Bournemouth, although for very few tickets, they will get these ahead of everyone below P1 I'd imagine, for a 3.00pm Saturday game in September. Which again seems strange to me.

I appreciate the view on this from STH's, but as a member I find this a very small benefit in an otherwise expensive membership scheme. Surely you'd rather have 60 paying members in the crowd than 60 mates of the ticket office staff?? Id rather get rid of the ticket office perks before this tiny membership benefit.

I appreciate it's hard now for members to get a ST if they want one. And being a member is expensive. It's also therefore hard to start on the away priority points system. All that I get. But you could have the scenario of a member who has never been to a single game in their lifetime, home or away, especially early in the season, and they get an away ticket ahead of a ST holder of at least 3 years with history of attending away matches. This history could be fairly high in attending away games, depending on where each game sells out. I just can't personally make sense of that. And I think mate's tickets will still find there way to mates anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know many members (including myself) who attend about half the home PL games but pay more than STH's for the privelage. Yes you'll always get a few members who have never been to a game, but let's face it the vast majority are loyal city fans who have been attending city games for years but who for one reason or another haven't managed to get a ST. I think the club knew they had to sweeten the new hefty membership fee and this is what they came up with. That and an exclusive iPad case and desktop calendar! Perhaps they'll get their thinking caps back on and come up with something better next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Membership was designed for fans who just watch games occasionally wasn't it, but now it's the only option if you don't have a ST and want to go to every game. And it therefore costs you a fortune! The iPad cover etc. isnt fooling anyone is it. Hope you get lucky in some away games if you apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyn88 Posted 1 August 2017 Share Posted 1 August 2017 It's a seriously weird feature that will only serve to benefit a very small number of members and at the same time understandably annoy season ticket holders. Make the membership fee £30 max and let us have away tickets after ST holders and I don't see anyone complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, have a feeling it wont be far off making members sale anyway. 700 still left and down to 210 points tomorrow. So those people have only been to 10 or so away games in the last 4 years, hardly regulars and a Friday night in London in the school holidays might not suit.
