dezgimed Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Is this a case of Dolman tickets not on sale at all, like other home games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Absolute rubbish that the rugger boys can get tickets ahead of some City fans who have been going for 50yrs or more and of course choose not to subscribe to the stealth tax on tickets. This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. The membership pays for itself in four matches (or six if you bought earlier in the season), and if you won't buy a membership because you can't go to enough matches to cover your costs,then frankly you don't have the right to a Swindon ticket over those that can.

054123 Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Swindon are planning to buy up tickets in the home sections. And bring ultra flags. And a bubble machine. FACT. If only eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Care to elaborate on your "stealth tax" comment? Don't have the right!!!!! I've been going for over 30'years, I've recently moved away and go to,almost every away game, I thinkmi have "the right" to get a Swindon ticket without having to buy a bristol sport membership which, when you live over 200 miles away and are disabled Is completely useless. Bristo sport membership is a great money spinner, or a very useful addition to the scheme, if you like rugby and live in the area, if you don't then it's a waste of money. Maybe the club could learn a lesson from Bradford City, they've geot a fantastic away supporters loyalty scheme, something I've approached the club about for years............and still,waiting!

If you're willing to come down to Bristol for the Swindon game then why are you not willing to come down for tomorrow's and Tuesday's game? Nor the Port Vale, Peterborough & Rochdale games last month? Although if I have got that wrong and you did attend all those games then you would have already made a saving on the membership.

cider-manc Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 you should get a ticket for that May have gone under the radar with all the Swindon excitement. But its on sale to season ticket holders first with an allocation of about 1000. Im sure that will be an initial allocation but doesn't fill me with much confidence.

One Team In Keynsham Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 It says one ticket per membership, which means you can purchase one ticket per membership. Can you break that down a little clearer for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Can you break that down a little clearer for me? yea you can get as many tickets as you like as long as you have the same amount of memberships, unless you are from keynsham then you get nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People said similar things before the west ham game. Whilst I agree there should be some scheme to reward people who do regularly travel away, unfortunately there isn't - and the cold truth is you are putting no money into the club by travelling away, so people who ARE have priority. I live 150 miles away, have been to 3 home games because I play every Saturday but I have a membership because that way I can ensure I can get a ticket for games like this. Incidentally I can only go to the Swindon game because it got moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Monday, March 16th at 10am - Wednesday, March 18th at 5pm Forever Bristol members (including Bristol Rugby and Bristol Flyers season ticket holders) can purchase one ticket per membership. Sorry if im being stupid here (which I am), but I would just like clarity. Am I right in saying that I can only purchase the one ticket for myself rather than purchase one ticket with my membership then a couple more for friends (during the members sales procedure) Friends would have to wait til general sale to purchase theirs rather than a member purchasing for them? This is not right i.m.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betty Swallocks Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Yawn... back in the late 60`s early seventies,eighties I went to every home and most away games, even buying a ST in the Dolman the first 2yrs it was open; things change since then. I still follow every game MY TEAM plays, if not in person then on the beeb or on forums. I have been to Wembley old and new and the Mill, been on the pitch celebrating every promotion. Recent years has seen my income wane and other things take the lions share of that income; my Club has taken thousands of pounds of me and I wouldn't begrudge them one penny of it, they`ve been a huge part of my life for 50yrs. Yes maybe I shouldn't of brought that wembley scarf and t shirt as I`m not going and put it towards the latest scheme, but ffs to give rugger fans priority just because they spent a few quid on that scheme is still sad in my eyes. I do agree with you regarding the rugby lot getting priority. Maybe in the future it's a decent idea when the capacity is 27k but it's not the right thing to do right now. That said the membership is a fantastic scheme which has seen myself save plenty of money already making it anything but a stealth tax. I've made it down there for a good percentage of games (home and away) this season so feel I should be entitled to first dibs on these end of season games.

Guest Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Whose to say those rugger boys aren't also City supporters like those who have (or haven't) been going for 50 years. I've heard that baloney before, some of the rugger boys attend more games than some of those that pick and choose their games now and have in the past been to most away FOOTBALL grounds watching their team play..........oh wait a minute rugger fans wouldn't be at those away grounds because they would be at the mem watching their rugby team play. It cannot be denied therefore that most rugger fans should not have priority over our own fans unless loyalty counts for jack sh1t.
