Would be in P1 but without any of the memberships drops me down to P3. Pretty fair as people had suggested the 4000 reward (got money back anyway) as that is a huge group. Haha I'm same. Damn if I'd have blue and white I'd be priority 1. Join it teddy, I've been in ten years, you get chance of twenty grand at Xmas. Simple. |

Maybe the 12000+ who didn't stay loyal to Dean wished they had? I thought at least 8000 would have stayed out of the 16500+ who bought £100 season tickets, at least the club has a record of them.. Apologies - I've had a season card 19 of the past 20 seasons but unfortunately due to work I was only able to make 10/11 home games 3 years ago so didn't make financial sense to purchase a season ticket. Additionally I made about 10 away games that year too. I'm not disputing the system - people were always going to miss out and be upset however do not incite that people were "not loyal to Dean" |

So unless you've had a season card for the last 3 years or more then B&W means nothing?

Well that's me not going to an away game this season, usually do 4 or 5. I'm in Priority 4, so probably 10000 in front of me. Oh well. Not at all. You will get the chance to go to loads of away games. It'll probably be the case that only 6-7 sell out before your priority. Seriously think people are over egging the interest in games like Stoke, West Brom, Watford, Southampton, Brighton etc etc. |

Depends if it's assigned seating or sit anywhere at the away ground? Or is assigned seating mandatory in the Premier League? No idea. But I'd expect if EPL clubs are using the £30 and 3000 thing as an opportunity to maximise revenue from home supporters, then the likelihood is that the areas allocated will be literally FULL with 3000 supporters (or whatever the specific number is at any given ground), with no room to spill into. As such, you'd expect the away ends to all be assigned seats?? (The fuller an area is, the more likely it is to be reserved seating only??). In the Championship - some were, some weren't, but who knows if they are sold out. |

Happy there's a ballot system, for me an expat and the armchair brigade we have at least a 'chance' of going away if we want.
I just hope the ballots are done nice and early. Anyone travelling overseas doesn't want to find out the day before.

I had a season ticket for 12 years before moving away and now I am way down the list, a formula had to be agreed so as many as the loyal fans as possible got tickets and I agree with it.
I am grateful to be able to buy a season ticket for £200 which helps keep costs down when I do come back.
Well done Town.

With so many categories I expect people in the top priorities will only get a couple of days to decide if they want to go.
Also when will the ballot be? and if its before the priority process ends will people in the priority categories be able to participate e.g even for category 1 folk there could be a chance they might not get a ticket for Manure so might want to enter the ballot

Season ticket for 11 years but I'm only priority 3. Was always going to be some people who felt hard done by. Anybody got any idea how many people fall in each category?

The club have come up with a fair and appropriate way of issuing tickets. It is never going to please everyone. Myself – I’ve been to 100 away games in the last 10 years, mainly pay on the gate as live 3 hours from town but appreciate that a supporter who has watched only home games in last 3 years has watched more than me and now probably wants to go to away games – guess that’s life!
Hopefully will get some as a Priority 5!
TBH prefer Palace, Watford, Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs and West Ham as local – others can have Man U, Man C, Liverpool etc. Maybe a ticket share scheme?

Yes that's me and my son. Was considering the tot membership last year but didn't bother. Makes the difference from level 3 to 1 BUT there are over 4000 with the ten year status so that would wipe out most allocations. Happy that I'm level 3 as I don't think there are too many people in 1 and 2 |

TBH it was always obvious Patrons/Tot/B&W were going to play a part in the top priorities, so folk with several years season tickets could have taken a risk and joined before today (& even cancelled tomorrow if it hadn't worked out in their favour).

From a totally selfish point of view, I'm happy with that as me & my lad will both be priority 1 & the lads I go with in 2. From a generic point of view though, I think the club have made a pretty good job of solving a pretty complex problem, so they deserve credit for that. It was never going to be possible not to upset anyone, but I guess they have managed to reduce the number of upset people to the lowest they could.

Might not be as hard as people think to get tickets. Liverpool could be one. Big story of the 'best mates'. |

I've had a season ticket since 1979. Have seen Town at over 100 different grounds but because of family pressures I've had to limit aways to 3-4 a season in the past 3yrs. I'm Priority 3 and I fully understand why. Not a problem with that at all. My biggest problem will be gaining the good lady's approval to go to Aways anyway!
Think it's a reasonably fair system to be honest. Possibly could have been an extra layer for those who have had season tickets for 10+ yrs but without the additional stuff. But I'm probably just saying that as I would fall into that category.

You sort of have to hope they get the online ticketing sorted out better than it has been. Often had trouble when there were only 3 groups with it not allowing me to purchase as it didn't recognise my priority. Now there are 6 groups, and thousands more season ticket holders. I can see chaos ahead.
Not actually sure which group I'm even in. Season ticket holder last year, Take 10 season before, and think I was season ticket year before that. (Fairly Sure) Blue and White foundation member since before start of last season.
My reading suggests Category 4 and the Blue and White Foundation membership is useless. Possibly higher if they're going to count The Take 10.
May have to give up The Blue and White membership. Not because I'm against the system, just can't afford to keep giving Town over £8 a month without even a miniscule benefit.
