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. Really??? I know exactly who was involved.  |

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. Sent from my SM-G920F using proboards I know people who spent just £20 for Terriers on Tour to get one away ticket...now they jump people with 10 years of season tickets. Barmy. They also had 10 years loyalty and made the effort to ensure they had tickets last season |

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? Just like someone who's had one for 3 years takes priority over someone who missed a season in recent years but otherwise has had one for 20/25 years. Poorly thought through. |

I must have read that wrong? Correct. I made the mistake of watching the video first too, in actual fact unless you paid recently for any of the member schemes your ten years gets you sweet fa. Annoying with the tot being a blatant queue jumping fee, small one at that and the foundation basically a free gym membership. From a PR perspective the ten year aspect shouldn't have been mentioned imo as it's heavily caveated and open to confusion. Probably a few feeling pleased with themselves having joined one of the schemes prior to the thirteenth too Sent from my SM-G920F using proboards |

Poorly thought through. Have to agree, not going to spit the dummy about it, and obviously they can't have 20 odd cats to setup but P1 obviously covers b&w + 10yr + Away sup, but long term supporters who have paid into the club should be ahead of newbs. After all there is the ballot for those. |

BWF & Patrons now irrelevant then in terms of ticket purchasing No it's not ... Ten years and blue white is super. It is irrelevant going forward |

Lived away from Huddersfield for 20 years, never had a season ticket, in Brighton so traveling home is a no no. But I've seen us nearly every southern away game in that period, mucking about in the lowest division against Gillingham and Colchester, Southend etc. From league 2 to premier league. My support is worth... fuck all. But at the same time, this was an impossible conundrum. Shit happens. Price of success. Look forward to multiple relegations and I'll see you folks in Gillingham's temp stand UTT!

See you all at Southampton lol |

Living overseas the last 5 seasons has cost me as I assumed it would. Thought chipping in to the BWF for 10+ years might have helped my cause but no luck.
Other than for the obvious reasons lots of us will have to hope we stay up so we get a second bite at the cherry.
Away matches will become a strange experience as most won't be sat with their usual mates.

What a crock of shit. A difficult thing for Town to sort out, but all the same they've managed to make a complete fuck up of it.
25 years a season ticket holder?... barely missed a home game since 1979...seen town play on just about every ground in the country?...
fuck that.. if only id spent £20 on a silly away membership last season I could have jumped the queue and stood a chance of going to the big prem away days.
reward loyalty?? my arse! theyve pissed all over the loyal fans.

You simply can't please everyone. Wish I'd been priority 1 The crap system we've had just isn't good enough for the premier league but could they really have been expected to sort that out? It will take years for us to catch up off the field At the end of the day we're punching way above our weight. Will take years of being at this level to catch up. Hopefully we give ourselves the chance |

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). Oh, thats good then..thanks. 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. Priority 1-3 combined is around 8000 people maximum (think it was down to about 7500 season ticket sales two years ago). Demand for away tickets is typically around 10-20% of home fans wanting to go to any given game...let's call it 30%. 30% of 8000 is 2400 people in priorities 1-3 wanting tickets to a typical game. There's another 12000 regular fans...of which 3600 might want to get a ticket. If 3600 apply for a ballot, then almost 20% of those fans will also get a ticket. So...pretty much everyone in priorities 1-3 will be able to get to MOST games that they want to....general punters who have just bought their first season tickets are likely to be able to get to about 5 away games if they apply for tickets to all of them. It'll be skewed, it's going to be difficult to get tickets for perhaps 6 teams (I suspect Everton might not have the demand of the other top clubs...we've all been there recently, and it's a dump and a pretty horrible view)...but most folk will be able to get to the games they want to, just like they always have....actually, make that Palace will be high demand simply because it's the first game. If we were away at Palace in February then we wouldn't sell out. Seems odd to bleat on about not getting to games when nobody has tried to buy a single ticket yet! It's just going to be the same as last season in reality. How many away sell outs did we have? |

Never going to please everyone whatever they did but everyone gets a chance at the tickets so what more can you ask for? But for one year off under Powell (when I still bought a take ten card) I would have been category 1 as I paid out to be a TOT member last season to give me more chance with the jump in season ticket holders As it stands I am category 4 but still with a shout of getting to a few Can see me in the home ends at a few Let's just quit moaning and enjoy the ride It's at home where the big points need to be won so let's make it a fortress and anything away is a bonus  |

An issue is that while a system needs to be put in place for priority for future seasons what will happen is people in top priority will buy tickets for the sake of it so they don't lose priority and pass them onto other people. Therefore the super stay super and the no hope stay no hope apart from getting from the super and actually attending.

The main problem with this is that everyone thinks they deserve to be priority 1. People who have had season tickets for 10 years, people who have had season tickets for 20 years but missed a year, b&w members, patrons, ToT members, people's kids....
The club ballsed up years ago by not doing anything to monitor away purchases and creating a points system. Too late to do anything about it now so I guess we'll just have to deal with it. Most of us will probably have less chance of getting away tickets then we did in the past but I can't see thousands of away fans coming out of the woodwork for the likes of Brighton, Swansea, West Brom just because it's Premier League.
Also hoping it doesn't dilute the atmosphere too much by people being in different categories to their mates.
I'm personally in a different category to everyone I usually go away with, been to plenty of games on my own but when I do it's a totally different day out to the usual going in a group on the beers all day.

The main problem is in fact that the days when clubs allowed 10,000 away fans into their stadiums is gone. Even spurs at 93,000 capacity Wembley.. That's the real problem. 3000 max is pathetic for some clubs with massive capacity stadiums now.

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. 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. Sent from my SM-G920F using proboards Since when did the B&W Foundation include free gym membership? Answer......It doesn't. |

I'm in cat 3. Season ticket holder for 22 years and go to a at least 12 away games each season.
I don't mind. I knew the priority system for many years and could've had a blue n white foundation membership or TOT to put me in the top category last seaaon but I didn't.

Might seem like a stupid question but why didn't you? I bought a ToT ticket mainly to ensure that I got an away ticket for Burton as i knew we would sell out! And ended up going to 20 away games. That puts me in priority 1 but I think I deserve it Others might disagree!! |

theyve pissed all over the loyal fans. Have they really though? To get in category 1 you've got to have been a season ticket holder for 10 years. Doesn't that count as loyal? Serious question, if you go to as many away games as your post suggests why on earth didn't you get TOT membership last year ? For only £20 to the club (& that's a point seemingly forgotten by some posters £20 went to the club not the Italian Mafia or Saudi Oil barons) you were trying to guarantee a ticket for your away trips last season. Still going regularly to away games, it was a Complete and utter no-brainer of a decision to join TOT last year. .........and for someone going regularly to away games I'd suggest it would have been frankly just stupid not to buy the card. I wonder how many people's interest in going to away games has been re-kindled by the fact that this season it's going to be Liverpool rather than Burton and Reading? |

I knew the priority system for many years and could've had a blue n white foundation membership or TOT to put me in the top category last seaaon but I didn't. I'd say that sounds about right. I went to 44 games in total last season and I'm in priority 2 which sounds fair. Had seasons where I've not missed an away game but there will be plenty who go to more than me and have been doing for years and hopefully the majority of them guys got P1. |
