petermcpete Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Pay £20 to get membership and therefore access 3 hours earlier or not to, that is the question. Presumably at that point it'll be fastest finger first, assuming most season ticket holders take one that'd mean about 10k left at 9.30am Monday.

JRM Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Members with 10+ should have more priority than members with 1 as well , would expect to sell out very quickly but prices are high , don't fancy being at the back of the upper tier either though so will fork out for a better seat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB Fry Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 I wonder how long the list is of paid members who haven't bought one single ticket all season. Surely even those forking out the £20 to be a member last minute have been to at least one game as well. Of all the categories that is the most odd, and maybe they could grade those a bit further (members with 10+ to begin with etc etc) The only issue for me is how the website copes at 0930 Monday. There's only so many work meetings I can pretend to be "unexpectedly unavailable" for Monday morning..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Chuckle Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 I don't get the moaning when it clearly states Season Ticket holder refers to either 2023/24 or 2024/25. All Season Ticket Holders will be guaranteed a ticket, should they buy within their purchase window. We've got a week to sell 36k tickets. They can't have 20 sales windows for those who have been to 20+ away games followed by 19+ etc. You'll get a seat. Some fans are never happy. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barsiem Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Like the home semi final the people hard done by here are those who have memberships and have been to several games this season. Having to only have been to one game to be eligible first up means it'll be a real scramble. I've screwed myself anyway as none of the games I went to this season are on my season ticket number....

SaintNewForest Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 As long as it gets to Monday 12:30, I don't care ...

bangkoksaint Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 I a bit part follower of Crewe Alex. They have used Ticketmaster to sell their tickets for Sunday due to worrying about their site and infrastructure not being able to cope. They’ve only sold 12,000 and have had about the same time frame we’ll have to sell 36,000. I appreciate we should be better placed but I wouldn’t be surprised to see an IT meltdown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRM Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Apparently Leeds distributing all their tickets as e-tickets whereas we're doing paper ones, I like a stub myself for big games but does seem to put extra pressure on them to get them sent ASAP, hefty booking and transaction fee should use next day guaranteed for that price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintwbu Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Being able to buy a membership at this point is the worst tbh, they allowed that for the League Cup final years ago. I’m sure more recently they put a cut-off point in for membership purchases, maybe for the FA Cup semi-final? Lets down everyone who committed to a membership at the start of the season imo.

What’s the point in buying a membership next year, if you can just buy one if we get a big end of season game. I’m a ST holder, so doesn’t affect me, but it’s a bit of a joke really. At least they’ve done away with the extra one for ST holders to claim, so they’re slowly learning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogginsfc Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Probably me misunderstanding it. But is the Monday 9:30 window for paid members who have been to 1+ game only for members who have been to a game whilst a paid member? Or is it that if someone pays for a membership now, any games they have been to through general sale on their account this season will still put them in this window? Me and my son have been member all season and done a decent amount of games and trying to work out if we will have priority over anyone paying for a membership now. As surely anyone becoming a member would have been to one game. Its just not explicitly clear on the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got 10ish aways but only a couple of homes for this season as I live in the midlands. Have just folded and bought a membership - should mean getting a ticket on Monday @ 9.30 will be fine, assuming about 15k left after season ticket holders.

Which means what's the point of the 11:00 window as there are not really going to be many fans who now decide to pay for a membership, but have not been to any game this season.

All season ticket holders have a ticket in the bag, if you want one it's yours. That's rewarding loyalty. If the argument is staggering the general sale windows to those with 10+ aways, 5+ aways, 4+aways etc etc - then we don't have the window for that, all non-general sale tickets need to be sold by Monday in order to be in the post by Tuesday. We haven't got a week to distribute tickets for next Sunday, so they've had to collapse down those sale windows.

The desperation from Saints to milk as many £20 payments for memberships as possible, without actually thinking the process through or having a half decent ticketing system that can differentiate, will likely cause some problems. Gives far more opportunity for any Leeds fans who were on the ball, or more likely touts to get a ticket over fans who have been to multiple games this season. But saints get an extra £20 so who cares!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
