pinevillawill Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I can't believe a loyalty scheme wasn't put in place this season after what happened with third round tickets last season. Obviously, season ticket holders get priority but Is there a way the club can reward those regular-goers who aren't season ticket holders? Priority for those with a Forest stub? Loyalty card for those attending the league games in the run up to the cup match? Let's not have a ground full of plastic scousers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No arguments about whether season ticket holders or regular supporters actually have the right to purchase tickets then. Great tie, come on blues!

Lags Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Only way now is to hand out a voucher at the next home match, one per paying punter to get second dab's after ST holders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsslatic Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 There's no way they will use the Forest stub as a priority because people weren't asked to keep hold of stubs in advance, plus ST holders could give their stubs to those who weren't there.

palmer1 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Totally agree! Im not a season ticket holder but Im there every week and have been for a number of years I have a stub from the Forest game and may have to cancel going to a wedding on Saturday if I need to get a token from the next home game something should be put in place for these sort of things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latics_Fanatic Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Not a ST holder for the first time in years. Have a student card for home games. Do i get priority? i'm guessing not... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 You can make it as complex or not as you like. Whatever system you use will upset somebody, so I'd keep it simple. Personally I think season ticket getting priority followed by voucher for most recent game is reasonable. Why make it more complicated?

Last year it was the least complicated system you could think of and it was a shambles. Lad behind me in the queue fainted from standing in a queue for 7 hours when people at the front were buying 20 tickets each. I sincerely hope that system is not allowed to happen again.

Lags Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 ST Holders, then a voucher holder from the next home match (all one each) then the free for all. Every ticket will go, maybe take longer but they'll all go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a problem with ticketing facilities rather than fairness of allocation. But a fair point that more tiers of priority would spread the queues over days instead of day.

GlossopLatic Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Why turn up to every game and not buy a season ticket? surely if your going to turn up every game then a season ticket gets you instant priority for games like these and you save money over the course of the season.

Zorrro Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 People may not have the money to pay a lump sum, but £20 every two weeks is manageable. That's what I used to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be surprised if anyone bought a season ticket on the basis that it would give them priority for cup ties which may or may not happen.

oafc-latics Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 we can get a big crowd for the brentford game if there's an incentive for the cup. I think the 2,800 deserve priority as well for the atmosphere yesterday, so ST holders and any of the away support at the City Ground get first pick. Maybe the club could use the success of the bonfire to put a screen on the car park as well as the game to get more people to get the atmosphere and make a bit of money?

Schlieb Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Because I cant afford to pay alumpp sum I can however afford to pay £19 every other week or so Do the 10 month payment scheme? That's what I do. Might have a little APR but it's still damn cheaper than £20 a game plus you get these little bonuses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works out £20 more expensive than paying in one lump sum. £2 a month interest...less than a pint in the White Hart that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZiggaZaggaAthletic Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Im a student, been supporting latics since 06 and had a season ticket every season up until this season with me starting uni. Do I get priority? Ive been a fair few games when im home! And I most certainly will be at the Brentford game Saturday, whether I get priority or not because of that so be it, would be going regardless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancy lad Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 This isn't a swipe at anyone in particular but.................. can we all enjoy the draw for the time being, without doing the whole I deserve a ticket more than everyone else thing. Evereyone who wanted a ticket badly enough for Liverpool last season got one. There were a few on here who said they wouldn't queue for tickets and therefore didn't get one, but most held their hands up and said it was their own fault. We struggle to get 3,000 at the moment and there will be around 7,000 to 8,000 available. Again it's not a dig at anyone, enjoy the moment and as long as you are prepared to queue you will be fine.

oldhamandy1 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Season ticket holders get first but limited to 2 per season ticket (before anyone argues many like myself bring their partners, mates whoever every now and again and would like to sit next to them), then voucher from Sat's game, then general but limited to 4 at a time.

real Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Priority for those with a Forest stub? Loyalty card for those attending the league games in the run up to the cup match? There have been so many people clamouring for this to be put in place prior to the forest game that the admin bods had to delete them for fear that the board would collapse. Haven't there? Forest stub/ donny stub / went all away games / go to all home games but no ST / travel a long way / had a ST last year? Or:- Commit £300 or more up front, no option to stop paying half way through, money committed win lose or draw, good football or crap football, best players sold or not manager quits to move upwards / is sacked / stays. How do any of these various made up ideas show any sort of true comparison to buying a ST and guaranteeing funding for the club for a full season? A single bleeding forest stub for a £10 ticket and a day out on the razz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4froale Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Maybe someone should do a poll and email the results to the club so nothing like this happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably make more money by using it as a car park. Edited January 6, 2013 by longtimeblue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
