Could go on about having had a season ticket for 25 years and the one season I didn’t due to family/finances just so happens to be the one where we are having a ridiculously good season. So I wouldn’t ever feel bad about getting a ticket. No one would actually care about that though would they... Sorry, I thought you’d said you just bought 6 tickets.

I appreciate this situations a bit different but I kinda don't get the whole argument about someones season card seat, you buy your seat for league games the cup games aren't included in the cost, you get priority access to a seat in the ground. Am I right in thinking there would be nothing to stop say a South Stand season ticket holder buying a seat in the Lansdown if they fancied a change being in the same priority window? Edit - Been corrected that ST holders get their seat reserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChippenhamRed Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 2 minutes ago, hodge said: I would expect the required amount of games to go up to about 8, we'll have had plenty of games since tickets were on sale for this and keeping it so low would massively open up the amount of people who fit into each priority category. Lots of us bought games that were happening after the United match to get to the magic 4. It was tickets bought that counted, not matches attended. Personally I think 8 sets the bar too high. Those of us who aren’t STH have made the decision because we can’t commit the time and/or money. If you’re pushing people to have bought 8 games by January, it’s an unfair pressure because your spend would be approaching season ticket holder levels without actually being one. Morally I think they should keep it to 4-5 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club rewards season ticket holders by reserving THEIR seat for cup games. You can't just go and steal someone else's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah , normally reserved until the next category is released . In the Man U case was a week to take up your reserved seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

View from the Dolman Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 Club response: On Friday evening, for a short period of time, tickets for the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg with Manchester City were incorrectly made available for purchase. This was due to a technical error, for which the club would like to apologise. Full details of pricing and the sales and priority procedure for both semi-final legs will be announced in the coming days. In the meantime, anyone who purchased on Friday evening will have those tickets cancelled, with their money refunded in full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
