....is to get access to away tickets early?
If it was bought to get access to home matches then they would surely have been to 3 home matches by now?
The only other reason it could have been bought was purely to get access to the norwich match, if so, then tough titties. |
What about if you have done the aways but not got to many home games due to living away from Suffolk. Still loyal but miss out. |  | |  |

Oof I think that's a poor call!
ST holders and ST members have a seat in the ground. I support an extra layer to protect those who've made better use of their non-ST membership, but moving other non-ST members behind groups that already own a ticket feels instinctively wrong. |
Living oooop North and only having made two visits to PR last year (but a dozen away games) means I'll miss out. It is what it is but is disappointing and I don't think I will renew my membership next year. The price of success eh. Get increasing that capacity ITFC! |  | | |

As a member, non ST, who hasn't seen three home games, I understand. I don't quite get the additional tickets for ST holders but whatever, it won't get that far.
People will cry no matter what the club decided. I can't go anyway (400 miles plus a do the night before plus an early KO) but I would have liked to go but it is what it is.
However, I reiterate my point from a couple of days ago and I have already seen some BS on social media - if some jolly little tourists get to see this game and I don't, I will be so mad.... inside. I don't give a rats bum your spurs supporting kid doesn't get to go. Be a better dad you melt! |  | | |

...I'll be able to get additional tickets for a couple of my mates now.
One is Spurs and the other Arsenal, but they fancy going to the norwich match. |  |

There's a substantial group that bought for early access to home tickets only. Impossible to guess how many have failed to meet the Norwich criteria but I personally know five who definitely haven't, two of which live on the edge of Europe. Perhaps many know a lot personally and we've sold in the high thousands of these, hence the policy change. |  | | |

I mean technically they haven't added an additional priority level, they have just changed one. If it was members with 3 home games, then members without a season ticket, then the rest I think that would be more acceptable | | | |

To me it seems pretty fair even though it's hard luck on people who only bought membership to get a ticket for Norwich. It's rewarding loyalty. I wonder if there will be enough to go round members who have been to at least three home matches in er... thirty one matches is it?
Tough titties on the glory boys and girls, sorry :)
N.B. I have an ST but no membership this season as I'm less able to get to aways atm. |  |

....for home matches then why haven't they actually used it for that?
What you really mean is that they bought it for this match specifically.
Nobody appears to be talking about the fact that norwich fans could have used that approach too, now they can't. [Post edited 21 Nov 2023 17:15]

That's the reality isn't it? đ Probably means I'll be able to get someone a ticket, which creates an unwanted headache in itself, and plenty will buy for random friends/family who fall far below the investment criteria of non-ST members that are effectively barred from purchase. Hey ho. | | | |

They should have really made it clear the membership priority could be conditional when selling the memberships. (I'm assuming this wasn't done or clear) |
The club made it clear that they reserved the right to introduce additional criteria when memberships were sold. They did not specify what the criteria would be as I suspect they did not know what they were going to need to do.
FWIW, I think this is a reasonable step to take, it rewards members who come to home games to the detriment of those who have bought memberships just to come to the Norwich / Leeds / Leicster games. | | | |

ScenarioâŚ
Dad and son go to 3 matches.
Dad is the âpurchaserâ of all 6 tickets obviously.
Son is only the âownerâ of 3, but hasnât âpurchasedâ any.
Does son qualify? |  | | |

If you cannot get to home games normally, then why should you suddenly be able to make the Norwich game? | | | |

I get why they have done it. The person I know who has missed out has been to more than 3 away games on their membership. Also more than 3 at home games during the period but went with someone else and didn't use their membership number as wasn't required to get home tickets. | | | |

Maybe a few Northern blues got membership for priority on a few away games?
Am sure they'll voice their displeasure if that's the case. |
Yeah, mine was really for away games and I got shafted on that a little already this season. I've done one home game so far due to the kids, but wouldn't be able to do this one even if I wanted to.
So effectively, I'm not arsed.
The biggest issue is the club are on a sort of "suck it and see" model with this and that always means people are going to be upset or smug if they fall just to the one side of the line. I think it would have helped if this was all announced at the start of the season.
A good example being the Rotherham point. People keeping those and then a new 10pt barrier being put in for Brum, had a knock on effect for WBA and you couldn't anticipate or do anything about it. |  |

I strongly suspect that this means that there is a record on their membership account of them having a ticket for three different home games, irrespective of who paid for it. | | | |

I think thatâs pretty poor really - people will have paid ÂŁ40 for priority and now donât have any at all.
Obviously doesnât affect me personally (in fact probably helps me as a ST and a member) but I feel like this is town moving the goalposts which will piss people off. |
What's to stop a Norwich supporter at the start of the season buying a membership to try to get a ticket in the home end, in the knowledge they won't be able to get one in the away end? It makes for an expensive ticket, but I'm sure it's been considered.
The solution is to make sure that those who get priority actually go to home games. This seems to be the best solution to keep the home areas to only home fans. I'm guessing it's not about penalising people, but more about ensuring proper segregation. | | | |
| NORWICH (H) TICKET DETAILS on 17:33 - Nov 21 with 1523 views | DinDjarin |
Weird one this. I have so many people asking me to try and get them a ticket as I guess have others and any of those who manage to get them for friends or family will be giving them to people who have paid zero towards a membership.
For what it worth I am unable to make the match so have offered our season tickets up.
Only slightly gutted the one home match we cannot attend is this one!!. |  | | |

I have some sympathy with this, making sure you are on the school register for each game you attend has only become a thing this season, which has caught a number of folk out. The reality is it would be really difficult to retrospectively update records and would be open to abuse by some fans. | | | |

yeah I really hope that the club read his blubbing post and change the rules so that someone who bothers their arse to go to home games misses out just so that he can persuade his disinterested son to change his allegiance...what a tool... |  | | |
