Bar BS3 Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 3 minutes ago, Portland Bill said: I’m pretty sure the half season ticket becomes valid ‘after’ the Man Utd game, so why should they get any priority for a game they have zero priority for. Thats like me saying I’m going to buy a ST next season, but I want priority for the last home game of this season!. They have committed to the whole second half of the season and paid for it. Bar full season ticket holders, they come top priority and rightly so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 9 hours ago, ChippenhamRed said: I am not a fan of any scheme that forces you to buy an additional item just to get the one you want. What if a member like me who's been to a fair number of games this season can't make the Preston game? Members have already paid a fee for priority ticketing. I don't think it's fair to add another cost on top to give further priority. Giving priority to existing members rather than those signed up after the draw makes sense because it identifies supporters who have already shown commitment to the club. Nothing beyond that is necessary. OK here's an interesting one for you. Members who have a purchase history for this season from pre Man U draw but brought membership post draw...

Perhaps, but they are now guaranteeing 4 tickets for the Tuesday night game at £600 each - in the away end, but including free delivery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityFarAndWide Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 I don't get all the uproar to be honest, yes its unfortunate nonmembers/pay on the day fans who go regularly to games are stuck waiting however I have yet to see any of those complain offer up a viable option to make it fair to all. Context for those that would argue otherwise - I have been to 5 out of our 8 away games while only 2 home games (excluding cup) and have done this for many years prioritising away games due to living outside of Bristol. Ill just have to wait my turn and hope I get one. The system has been designed to favour those who use the incentive based schemes the club (or Bristol sport) offer. Amazing how some people think things are wrong/broken/unfair if it doesn't suit them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is, however there was no one trying to pay £200 a ticket for 6 tickets for the Palace game, no one wanted to buy a half season ticket just to get one. It comes down to market forces, if the club fail to sell all the tickets, then people would have the right to complain they were too high, unfortunately for the lower income fans, they will sell.

Eastside Moonwalker Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 Quick question - I don't have my season ticket at hand this morning but I have the supporter ID in which I bought the season ticket with. Is this all that's needed to verify if you're a season ticket holder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must have spent hundreds of thousands of pounds on tech, software etc and still, something as simple as buying a ticket is still a ******* ballache.

It wouldn’t be acceptable if sales were face to face and they told you they’d be on sale, just to get down to the ground and find they’re not.

Just hang fire a bit. If it’s still like that after lunch then maybe you’d have something more to whinge about. Yes it’s frustrating but as I said earlier. We have a whole week, 7 days, 168 hours to sort them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
