St Chalet Posted 5 February, 2017 Share Posted 5 February, 2017 I am looking for tickets for me and the boy. I have a feeling there will be a few left over for general sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGTL Posted 5 February, 2017 Share Posted 5 February, 2017 There are exactly 39,165 seats in the upper tier, so our allocation for the upper is approximately 19,000 once you take out seats lost from segregation. From looking at the plan I reckon there's still a good 10,000+ left for members, which would suggest the vast majority of ST holders took up their ticket.

Paul Chuckle Posted 5 February, 2017 Share Posted 5 February, 2017 Does anyone know how many tickets get given to members of staff at the club or how many tickets they have each? Do club shop staff get tickets etc? I've got a ticket so doesn't effect me. Just a general question and if what they take affects the fans allocation?

red and white saint Posted 5 February, 2017 Share Posted 5 February, 2017 I was discussing this with a couple of Wolves ST holders when out on the bike on Friday. They are allocated, say 300 points for their STs and then each away is worth say 30 and each home 20 on a match by match basis. Those with the most points get 1st shot at the rarer tickets. To cut away attendance out completely as the club has done is utterly farcical and a mere exercise in money making by saying both the Arsenal and WHU games counted. This is by far the fairest way but for the club it seems like to much hassle to do what is right for the supporters, I really feel like the only thing that matters to the club now is making as much £££ as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Monkey Posted 5 February, 2017 Share Posted 5 February, 2017 I've been told by someone who works at SMS as a steward that all club staff have been given (yes given) 2 tickets each, and the stewards themselves are guaranteed 1 each (although they have to pay for theirs).

That's weird I was speaking to a steward on Saturday who I know really well and he was saying they had no guarantees of tickets yet as the club had been given far less for themselves than they expected. Maybe something has changed since but would be strange to do so on a Sunday. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alehouseboys Posted 6 February, 2017 Share Posted 6 February, 2017 It would be a bit tough on some of them stewards if they couldn't secure a ticket, I'd guess most of them are fans and would probably have STs if they weren't on duty every home game. Some may do a lot of away games but by giving up the need for a ST some very loyal fans may have given up their deserved chance of a cup final ticket.

SKD Posted 6 February, 2017 Share Posted 6 February, 2017 I think everyone knows that the fairest way is a points system, you'd have to be utterly mental to think that people who've only done homes games deserve priority to those that have done aways too. Likewise i'd probably "weight" games too, so first round cup games worth more than a home game against a big club (who should be the lowest), likewise midweek away at Swansea or Stoke should be worth more than a cup game at Arsenal where we get 15% of capacity. Also by the same logic the away game to Israel should count for significantly more than any other game we'd have played all season. I know a fair few other clubs run this kind of system - Spurs for example - and it seems by far the fairest. Especially since season ticket holders start with a significant number of points each season, but members can catch them and over take if they do more games. yep - that way it gives everyone a chance should we get to a final and also rewards those who cannot for whatever reason get a ST or make every home game.

Why do fans who go to away matches feel they are entitled? Away games earn the club nothing financially and so why should they give a ticket to a fan who goes to more aways than home against somebody who goes to every home PL game. As I have put earlier Iam not getting a ticket but feel the club have done the right thing. Some of the away fans also have a lot of the away games that seem like home games as they are close. I think our away supporters are superb but can see why the club prioritises the home fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
