Saint Garrett Posted 21 March, 2018 Share Posted 21 March, 2018 Pretty sure anybody that buys membership will be able to get a ticket now. 33,411 - 21,000 ST holders = 12,411 12,411 - 2,411 non-ST membership owners (pure guess but would it really be higher?) = 10,000 Is there really going to be 10,000 people who spend the extra £25 to guarantee the ticket? I'd imagine it'll go down to non-ST/membership holders quite comfortably, unless I'm greatly underestimating the amount of people with a membership. Thought we had more like 23,000/24,000 STH's?

Turkish Posted 21 March, 2018 Share Posted 21 March, 2018 If I'm reading that right then, no priority at all for any members who've been to away league games? Bit miffed at that just have to wait, hope and pray that there will be some left near the end! Correct, I misread it at first. That's not great, but fair to reward those who went to previous rounds.

SKD Posted 21 March, 2018 Share Posted 21 March, 2018 I've bought a membership so I'm complicit, but the membership system is an absolute crock of ****. Totally unnecessary and the only purpose it serves is milking more cash out of the fans. The only time it is worth having a membership is to cover times like this - Having given up my ST for this season, I now fall into the category of having attended around 10 games, both home and away (including all of the cup games, other than Watford), but run the risk of not getting a ticket as I don't have a membership. Not that I'm complaining as I knew that giving up an ST would result in this should we get here. Fortunately, I know a few people at the club, so I should be sorted.

My son and I are members and being able to buy tickets online ahead of general sale takes a lot of stress out of the whole process, plus now we have the bonus of being further up the queue for Wembley. £25 quid each well spent in my book.

Lord Duckhunter Posted 21 March, 2018 Share Posted 21 March, 2018 Probably the most sensible criteria we’ve ever used, they only needed to count away games for members and it would have been perfect. Counting games that fall out of ST remit is clearly fairest as is prioritising memberships bought pre Wigan over post Wigan. My eldest son had a mad scramble for EFL & Milan tickets with members signed up just to get tickets for those games despite having bought his membership pre season.

I'm 99.9% confident we'll be fine, can't imagine there's anyway it'll be sold out on members 3+ with the lack of Europa and there only being 2 home cup ties this season.

Whitey Grandad Posted 21 March, 2018 Share Posted 21 March, 2018 I've got two STs but I've been away for most of the qualifying games. Luckily I bought two for the Watford game so that my son would take my grandson so Thursday 29th it is then. We won't have first dibs on the seating but there's plenty of room for us. I'd like to be in the lower tiers this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
once_bitterne Posted 21 March, 2018 Share Posted 21 March, 2018 Do half season ticket holders count as season ticket holders? I seem to remember previously they didn't and it was more just buying tickets to multiple home games without actually counting as a s/t holder.

Travelling Saint Posted 21 March, 2018 Share Posted 21 March, 2018 Can you still buy membership? Looks like you can, the site allowed me to add it to the basket. So it looks like the club can fleece people for £25 to move them up the ticket window if they want to. I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed and wait till the last selling day.

adysaint Posted 21 March, 2018 Share Posted 21 March, 2018 I've just bought a £40 Chelsea home ticket with zero intention of going. What a knob, doesn't even count. And I made the criteria anyway cos they counted the Wolves and Watford tickets I also bought but didn't use. All in all a ticket could cost me £80 + £25 + £40 + £12 + £10 = £167 But hey, I'm going.

But I've been to 8 aways this year - but based on previous big games - I expected they'd go off home games so I planned in advance. The only thing I got wrong - was that they didn't include Chelsea home. And I went to Israel last year - so that puts me in the top 300 of Saints fans - let alone the the top 33,000.

View From The Top Posted 21 March, 2018 Share Posted 21 March, 2018 Not at all good for me or my son. Have done numerous home and away league games, all of the fa cup games bar Fulham, but not being a STH or Member then we don't qualify until 12 April. Gutted. You should have got your tickets via Northern Saints as you would have been guaranteed a ticket via them if you've done that many games and your tickets still get recorded against your purchase history on the OS. Only £5 a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
