Away day ballot percentage 15:16 - Jul 22 with 2259 views | The_Romford_Blue | Anyone know what allocation goes to the ballot? Seeing as almost all of my aways last season were bought through other people, I can’t see myself getting to any games through my account. That was until the ballot came along. What percentage of each away allocation do we reckon will be balloted. 15% or is that wishful thinking. I am hopeful that if I apply for every ballot, I’ll get lucky at least a few times. |  |

Away day ballot percentage on 16:53 - Jul 22 with 2082 views | J2BLUE | Got to be 10-20%. Guessing it will be on the lower side though. I have your details on my log in so I just need to buy your ticket before you do... |  |

Number I’d heard too, which I think is generous |  |

Ahh that’s not ideal. A 3k away end for most clubs means 150 tickets. If on average there’s 2000 members per ballot, and I apply for every ballot, my chances are I’ll get to 1 or 2 games max. As work have agreed I can get any game off I want as long as I give them 10 days notice and it’s not grand national day, home or away, I will be at every home game for my season ticket and as many aways as I can. Therefore, if you hear of any away ticket going spare, let me know Sitters please. |  |

Is it? It's only 150 out of 3000 and there'll be a helluva lot more than that trying to apply for it. |  |

Agreed. I still think 10% is fair. 300 tickets and leaves 2,700 tickets which is still above our average away attendance last season. |  | |  |

Same, although depends how many we have in each points category. I think anyone with 20 or more points should be guaranteed a ticket before the ballot. Just to be clear I don't have 20 points. |  |

I think the club are doing their bit to protect those in higher groups, which personally I think is fair. |  |

How can there possibly be more than 2,700 in higher groups though? Our average away attendance was around the 2,400-2,500 mark last season. |  | |  |

Yeah it's mathematically impossible, unless my category of 15+ is also considered a higher group (I don't personally). Highly implausible I should have said. Theoretically we could have had 4800 members going half the time, all in the 20+ group with memberships redeemed, but in reality we have a core group who go most if not all of the time, plus a healthy group of members who go a handful of times. I'm convinced 2850 priority seats would allow for plenty in the 15+ group to begin with, which I consider to be a lower category. [Post edited 22 Jul 2024 18:36]

I'm thinking there should probably be a 19 pts category! |  |

Guess they have a safety net in place to ensure all are covered. Plus need consider places like Bournemouth will a small allocation |  |

D'oh just occurred to me that away capacity isn't just priority scheme + ballot, we've got the chunk for staff and celebrity friends as well haven't we. If to the ballot is 5% then complementary will no doubt exceed that for popular away games. |  | |  |
