I just called to get a couple, but living in Bristol I can’t get to loads of games a season and don’t have a membership this year.

There’s about 15 left but I couldn’t get one due to not hitting the threshold which seems a bit mad to me, is there any way around this or are away days just excluded unless you’re a STH or member?

Correct

That's bloody frustrating. Turning fans away when the team needs as much support as it can get is ridiculous @Foxes_Trust I've used my allocation so can't help. Hope that you get sorted. I'm sure that Bristol City won't turn you away.

Proper stupid behaviour from the club that.

It may be worth you going to the ground, there's usually some spares on one of the buses. If I hear of any I'll let you know. We sometimes end up giving free ones away if somebody hasn't turned up, usually to drivers.

 

I could buy you one, but I'm not sure of I'll be able to collect as it'll be in my dad's name (although I'm the lead booker) it'll also be OAP

Thanks all, it puts me off a bit in truth when the guy on the phone openly said they’d just turn them back to Bristol City if they go unsold. The priority system makes complete sense, but when that’s elapsed why would you not want a full away end of your supporters if possible. It might encourage people to get memberships and go to more if they enjoy it!

 

I live close to the ground so might head down and see if there’s anything I can get, cheers for the advice, hope those that make it have a good trip even in midweek.

I'm in the same boat as you, living in Bristol, not a member, it shouldn't be this hard to get an away ticket! Let me know if you come across an extra one

Why not, indeed?   And sadly the answer is that many of the people running our Club are idiots (and that's the politest term I can use).

The bars outside the ground are your best bet if it gets a bit rushed. There's a dedicated away fans zone.

As posted above, check with the folks on the buses when they arrive. They sometimes have spares.
