RedM Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 Just out of interest how would priorities be managed if we had been drawn away I wonder? ST holders must always have the highest priority and I know not everyone would want to travel or are able to. But surely still there are more ST holders than tickets available by quite some number, even if you eliminate the people who have just purchased half ST’s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't have it both ways... they haven't raised prices though you idiot, they are charging a normal matchday price they same as Middlesborough & Leeds this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus I cannot buy another ticket, but someone with only a Rugby ST could. Other bonuses like getting free City tickets as a Rugby ST or vice versa are not affected.

Yeah true. Not a big deal at all, but it would be nice for people at the back end of the priority window (that's not me) to know a bit sooner if they were going or not, being so close to Christmas. I would have thought 3 days per window would have been enough - the sales fall off a cliff after the initial rush on the first day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought a week per priority was perfect given the time between the 2 games. No mad scrambles that 2 or 3 day day periods can often see. I left getting mine a couple of days to avoid big queues and to make sure any system glitches were identified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I think that those ST holders who attended Birmingham away should get priority. Can't think of anything fairer. #JustSaying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s always tough allocating tickets, guess we should be grateful we were drawn at home! It can only really be based on this season. Which means I’d struggle, having been a regular at away games until I had my son. Now I can’t get to many. Only fair that those who have been this season get priority, with me next in line as a STH. Anyway, wouldn’t it only be Bournemouth that might fail to cater for regular demand, with a 10% allocation..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their supporters' club need to ask their fans why tickets are on the black market for such hefty prices! Those who have purchased tickets are obviously desperate to attend the match aren't they!
