Unpopular opinion: Season Ticket Holders have it too good .... by DarkBrandon 9 Dec 2024 16:27
... and the number of them means we are probably preventing thousands of more casual supporters coming along and enjoying the ride (and then becoming more active supporters of tomorrow).

Season ticket holders have:
* Their pick of the seat
* Every home game
* With their mates
* Priority on away tickets [Edit - apparently this isn't a thing]
* Get to resale the games they can't make
* All for a discount

Casual supporters have to
* Pay for a membership
* Scramble for the few remaining tickets, many of which are restricted view
* And pay a premium for each ticket.

Whilst many STHs have been attending games for many years, plenty haven't been, and I think the balance has moved too far.

I'd propose that each season ticket should entitle you to entry to 18 of the 19 home league games. Different STHs would miss different games (possibly decided randomly, possibly on a block-by-block basis) and this would free up ~1000 extra seats each game which could be balloted amongst all the people locked out of regular games.

I'm aware mightily p.ssing off your most loyal customers isn't recommended in most business textbooks
I'm also aware we might well go down, KM leave and we'll return to more normal levels of demand without the need for any of this.
