Season Ticket for members

[MGLCFC]

Well done to those who were successful. Unfortunately my 45 points weren't enough this year.

[ExhallFox]

My brother in law has been a member a few years now and last year went to maybe 19/20 of the 23 home games and still didn't get a ticket. Not really sure what else he can do

[SystonFox]

i imagine the fact we got promoted has retained a lot of interest. easy to give up this time last year when we were the pits and 33 points gets you in.

Bad luck. Keep at it. I got mine with 69 and I think that was at the low end in 2020.

another unsuccessful 45 here, although I suspect my lad on 49 would have been successful without me dragging him down the pecking order

Cut off was 58 apparently

It was 55, unless you were applying with someone on lower points than this.

Someone in the other thread in tickets forum saying he applied alone on 57 and was unsuccessful

I didn’t get in on 57 as a single application but someone said they did on 58..

Strange them, Jim has just confirmed 55 to me on email.

If its true that you could quit your ST last season on 65 points, not go to a game last season, but then reapply with your 65 points, I find that a bit unfair

If some were getting ST last season on 40 points, then quite a few gave them up when we were relegated, so new ST holders have retained their seats this season, then the old ST holders with high points tally have reapplied, that would make the points total required quite high

Fairness is such a slippery word. I’d be gutted if I took a season out and then missed out with my 69 points to someone who attended well in one recent season.

The cut off process:

 

Jim looks at points you hold.
 

Replies by email [points you hold]+1.

I was a ST holder for many years, but studied for a degree and had a child, by the time I wanted to go again we were in the 14/15 season, I have no points to account for that. The membership system when no/low points absolutely useless as difficult to get tickets, tbh gave up membership awaiting new stand but when it was clear that wasn't happening, last season was a chance to get points up to 54, so it does feel unfair to lose out to someone who gave up their ST because we were relegated. I wonder if we retain PL status whether points tally will get higher and higher. The real unfairness is punishing those financially who can't get a ST, the system was set up like that to encourage people to get ST. I'd love to know the number of people that would purchase ST if able, we're surely in need of expanding stadium.

Anyone not had their email? My wife applied and hasn’t had anything (Yes, I’ve checked the spam folder)

I was unsuccessful with a mere 29 points that id accruded going to every game season and a few last year! I was going to get one in the singing section. Oh well another year buying tickets anywhere to build my points up! I had an ST during the league one / early championship days, but gave it up due to work!

In 14/15 I had a Golden Fox Membership. It came with a guarantee of a ST the following year if you wanted one. I didn't take it up! Took me until 2020 and for a global pandemic to happen to get enough points and see enough spaces become free. It was touch and go on 69 points. 

You'll get there soon!

Well we're both over 35+ points now so supposedly get first dibs on tickets but towards end of last season, some games were gone even on first day

[Dr The Singh]

58 points wow, next year if were up will be what 70-80?

I managed to get tickets to Everton at home in 2016 and Atlético Madrid as a member. I was surgical though. Was online 10m before ticket release.

Ring the club. This happened to me last year when I was applying for my lad. I rang the ticket office and was told he had qualified by 1 point. It was a good job I decided to ring as I was assuming he hadn’t got enough points.

It's a great shame that people in their mid-20s who weren't able to go as children (parents weren't interested or couldn't afford it) are still frozen out of going every week. Expansion needs to be asap or that generation will become casual fans of the big-6.

 

The cost of membership is outrageous when it just gives you the opportunity to buy tickets at roughly double the season ticket price.

Which is absolutely understandable. This year people got 15 for renewing, then could have got an additional 24 (23 league home games plus Birmingham FA cup), so the bar jumping up by 20/25 points a season is about right.

It's surprising because the bar hasn't changed in the past few seasons, last 3 seasons 32/37/37
