All you ever do is make a big thing about how you don't go to watch us anymore, so why would any rules or restrictions bother you..?

It's like me complaining about the ticketing procedures for for the royal ballet. Some might say that if you haven't been to as many as two matches in the last two seasons what God given right have you got to expect a seat when one of the Championship bigger boys come rocking into town? But next season the guy won't miss many matches he wishes to attend as we won't be getting 27K every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeyed Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 The restrictions are all about trying to keep Leeds supporters out of the City seats, aren't they? Yes, and the away fan capacity will be much higher next season, therefore Leeds fans won't struggle to get tickets and resort to buying in the city ends.

Always Believesham Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Yes, and the away fan capacity will be much higher next season, therefore Leeds fans won't struggle to get tickets and resort to buying in the city ends. Having a bigger away end won't stop them, personally I think it's a great idea and hope they do it when we play against a team with fans that have a similar reputation to Leeds when it comes to using home ends. We all laughed when FGR binned loads of tickets bought by Gasheads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChippenhamRed Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Why are "old timers" ruled out? Just seems like any excuse to moan Exactly, age has nothing to do with it. It has the double positive of keeping Leeds fans out, and only rewarding those who have shown at least a small amount of loyalty to the club over the past two years. If you didn't manage to go to two games last season, of all seasons, then you shouldn't reasonably expect to get a ticket for one of our biggest games this year - however old you are.

Stoke_Gifford_Red Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Not likely to reach general sale anyway is it? I guess it depends how many Forever Bristol memberships we have sold, but I can't imagine it reaching general sale. I wouldn't be surprised to see the "sold out" signs put up (electronically) on the official site on Monday. What I liked was a purchasing history for 2 games over the last 2 seasons, excluding gamed against Leeds. I may be wrong, but we haven't played Leeds twice over the last two seasons.

Likely to sell out to members, but far from certain in my opinion. 1,900 tickets made it to general sale last season for the West Ham cup game, in a stadium with 4,000 less seats than this year. I suspect a lot of last season's members will have now become STH. Will be interesting to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got told it wasn't possible to do last season due to the ticketing system not supporting it. Now we have a fancy new system, it should surely be possible?

There hasn't been a notice to say that it is possible or what the procedure is. Maybe they haven't announced the procedure yet because there is yet to be a need to do so? The excuse of Dave L last season was the archaic ticketing system was unable to cope, however, with the ticketing system seemingly completely overhauled that problem must surely have gone away.

Stoke_Gifford_Red Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 but surely if you know that you can't attend there needs to be a procedure to tell the club to release your seat Agreed, season ticket holders need to be told. However, normally in such schemes there is at least a partial refund or some other incentive for ST holders to give up their seat for example Watford make a set donation to charity for each returned seat. However, the club aren't going to start dishing out refunds until all existing seats are sold. Of course, it could be the case that whilst the technology supports such reselling of tickets, the club haven't made allowances for it being used at City.

I was just using the example of the West Ham game where the draw of a big team wasn't enough to sell out to members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just using the example of the West Ham game where the draw of a big team wasn't enough to sell out to members. Agreed, but I suppose that was still early into the scheme and so less people were aware of the major benefits it provided. Being a cup game on TV I expect there were also a relatively large number of season ticket holders who didn't take their allocation for whatever reason.
