I am unclear despite reading the last few pages on this thread. I have BWF membership but no season ticket for a while. Am I priority 1 or zero priority? 0 |

they could not please everyone.. other than a ballot Im glad they didnt try.. its not convoluted or hard to work out.. might be hard to take ..
demand outstrips supply, has to be a system.... Dean has to have money coming in from all sources he can get...the away tickets for most games sell themselves but the income from the foundation etc has to be worked for..
10 years plus for sc is pretty stringent given where we were and the relative prices then..
Dean does not think anymore or any less of any particular supporter but finances do...
anyone who feels very strongly can always pitch in and replace the missing thousands per month if the foundation didnt attract the numbers it does..

Not got time to read 18 pages, so apologies if this has already been brought up. If I'm category 1 (over 10 yrs season ticket and BWF) and my son is category 2 (over 3 yrs and BWF), how on earth can I get us two tickets sitting together if I can't purchase his at the same time as mine? You can apply for both during category 2 sale. |

To be honest even though I'm priority 1 I won't be going to all the away games. I have no interest in Bournemouth or Southampton away, been to both, ironically in League One days and they are a bloody long way. I just can't be arsed schlepping all that way Premier League or not. I'm probably not even going to go to West Ham either which I did want to go to but not on a Monday night. I wont go to West Ham for sure. Miles from the pitch, half empty, horrible setting....and a Monday night. Would not go if i was paid. Just found out i have been booked from San Diego to Heathrow to go to Bournemouth away! Was not even consulted!! Cant complain though...unless i dont get a ticket  |

Anyone who wants to go to an away game next season will probably be able to go to one. It just won't be the one they want (i.e. Liverpool or Man Utd).

If the club is right about priority 1 being c.700, then that still leaves around 2000 give or take (average available minus 10% for the ballot).
My gut feeling is that priority 2 probably doesn't add on huge numbers (you're basically adding in people with STs for more than 3 but less than 10 seasons). Priority 3 might not add that many either, as loads of people who actually want to go away will have bought ToT, so jump to 1 or 2.
So my reckoning is that there will be a good number still up for grabs by the time they get to 4 at least & probably 5. There will be some upset for the biggest games but the rest should be fine for 90%+ of people that want to go.

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. If you have had season ticket since 1979 then your one of the loyal 4000 ? Not a member of necessary ToT or B&W though |

That would punish fans who werent born 15/20/25 years ago. The fairest system has been implemented. It's hard to really have any sympathy for someone that is a massive WUM. Whatever you pleb.... if you were the clown throwing ale about at barnsley im glad im priority 4.... at least i wont have to put up with numpties thinking its clever throwing beer over kids and women. Pleb? Says the grown man pretending to be in the know. As for Barnsley, I never went down at half time but I'm not really sure what the actual fuck that has to do with anything. |

Hello, I've written on my blog about the winners and losers in the new scheme: www.terrierspirit.com/away-ticket-priority-winners-losers/I was in the Terrier on Tour last season but skipped the 2015/16 season, so am in category 4. No complaints though, I'm sure I'll manage to get to a few away games and the rest will probably be on TV. |

Maybe those fortunate enough to be P1 and not intending to go to certain games, with known commitments etc elsewhere could advertise the fact in advance their availability down the line. Seems clear the ballot 10% is designed for the newbies, overseas and exiles who can email the club well in advance of their desire to go 1-2 games and be happy with that, try plan flights which I'm all for it cant be the same 2000 at every game. Though its often easier at bigger clubs to get over priced tickets on line and sit amongst the locals if you can trust yourself to do that and prepared to shell out £100 or more for the experience. I can't see us selling anywhere near 3000 for W'ham on Monday televised live game nor 2100 at Swansea come October unless we're out of the blocks rapid, Soton offer 3000, Brighton will have to be over 2000 too. So it's really 8 that everyone seems to wants to go Man Utd, Man City, liverpool, Everton, Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea, Newcastle again and some might exclude Everton and Newcy amongst them as the views are crap at both. The midland games should sell out Leicester, W Brom, Stoke & take care of themselves even if the availability  down to the lowest category, we will probably fill out the lowest allocation of 1300 at B'mouth if the kick off times isnt messed around with and everyone wants to be at Palace for the first one I'm reading which is causing all the heartache right now. The delays in announcing this tonight have also caused me to miss the cheap train tickets as my lad is P2 so I can't be sure he will get one at this stage to firm my travel this weekend still. The club was never going to please everyone, seems to me the BWF is a kind of stealth tax, which is why I refused to join but was happy to opt for T-O-T as away days are what its really all about for me, the whole day out. |

You need season card history to have any priority is the way I read it There are 2 conditions for P1 and P2. - You are a SC holder who is TOT, BWF or Patron AND
- You have had a SC for 10 yrs for P1 or 3 years for P2

Buy them in the ballot and hope you win twice? Or...you buy two tickets when they open up to priority 2, which LIKELY will actually mean priority 1 + priority 2 (just like it always has). |

Hi at HTAFC,
Surely having a HTAFC season card continuously for 10 years should in itself be a sufficient condition for being given priority 1 status irrespective of having Patron, B and W Foundation or Terrriers on Tour membership too? Otherwise, such season card holders are given the same equivalence as priority 3 status supporters with only 3 years continuous season card holding?
I'd welcome your thoughts on this matter.

Same here. Buy your ticket and then take it back the following day when your buying the second ticket and swap it allowing you to sit together. Guarentees your ticket and then chance of a second. |

Can the admins lock the thread, can Sean remove the youtube video and can the club cancel the scheme...apparently not needed. Are you on drugs? We get 2/3 thousand tickets...we were taking that away every game last season. Has the 20,000 season tix passed you by, the 40,000 at Wembley? Unless you priority 1 you wont get tickets. |

Your ten year loyalty means shit unless you've been paying extra for preferential treatment recently as far as I can tell  If you haven't you're stuck in cat 3 with the Jonny come latelys. I'm thinking my twenty odd years buying a season ticket should rank me higher than someone who recently chips in a few quid a season for free gym membership personally but apparently not.

Confused, SJ says has to give biggest consideration to 10+ year season ticket holders, but as far as I can tell with 30 years as a ticket holder that equates to P3?
Same a 3+ year ticket holders?
I must have read that wrong?

down to the lowest category, we will probably fill out the lowest allocation of 1300 at B'mouth if the kick off times isnt messed around with and everyone wants to be at Palace for the first one I'm reading which is causing all the heartache right now. The delays in announcing this tonight have also caused me to miss the cheap train tickets as my lad is P2 so I can't be sure he will get one at this stage to firm my travel this weekend still.
