What being able to watch on tv? That's of no comfort to me in band 4. Agree completely Joe. Anyway, if I'm not able to go see Town I'll be somewhere else watching a game. Always better than watching bloody TV. It's the live away day experience that it's all about. I usually listen to radio and do something else if I can't go. There'll be a lot of Johnnie come latelys enjoying my away tickets this season. |

Terrible system with a somewhat bizarre favouritism for people who've watched us since we reached the championship yet little for those who attended the 10 years previous. If you missed the Powell season by choice or necessity as in my case then you ain't going to any away games. Tough to take. Perversely some of our better performances under Powell were away from home ! When he got Hoggy and Butts in the right positions we were even exciting at times 😀 |

Joe, I'm P4 but I'm sure I'll get to several Town away games, no reason why you shouldn't either. Already got a ticket for Crystal Palace. If not at Town, I'll be at Exeter, Crawley, AFC Wimbledon, Brentford...wherever. All the guys sitting around me have ST's but there's only a couple of them that go to away games occasionally as far as I know, most don't. |

What about those who've bought tickets on the day (a regular occurrence in the Championship and below)? They will have bought enough from the ticket office if they were regular away followers to still be prioity one. Those who paid on the day now and again probably didnt go that often... You are wrong, as usual jumping to conclusions without facts! I pay on the day away, have very little away history as the risk of not getting in is lower than risk of not being able to go! You decide other people's life patterns for them to fit your argument! |

The requirement of being a season ticket holder for 3 years to get into Priority 2 seems a bit arbitrary to me. Why not 5 years, or 2 years? Perhaps there's a simple explanation to do with the booking systems only holding records for the last 3 seasons.
I'm sure it's just a coincidence that the North Stand Loyal group was set up 3 years ago and that they appear to have representation on the ATT forum that was asked for its opinion on how away tickets should be prioritised for next season.
It would be interesting to know how many of the NSL or Cowshed Loyal bought TOT last year and have had season tickets for not more than 3 continuous season tickets, and therefore qualify for Priority 2 tickets, which I'd anticipate means they can get tickets for most (if not all) away games that they want to go to.
I've had a season ticket for the last 3 seasons continuously, as I bought one in the North Stand Lower to tag on to the NSL experiment. I'm therefore in Priority 3, which is higher than I expected to be.

You decide other people's life patterns for them to fit your argument! That would probably make you count as priority one.... I reckon not many more than 3k have any away history at all.... but most that go away regularly would have sufficient history to get one anyway. even if it was say for only for 5 games. The problem with the new system is it gives priority to those that have been to home games, not a problem if they are going to use the ticket (it would be fairer if they had been to a number of games previously) Its the fact these tickets will be used by people circumventing the system to stop regular away supporters from going. What priority are you for next year? |

I'm therefore in Priority 3, which is higher than I expected to be. I didn't have a season ticket through the Lee Clark and Grayson era, but got a half card during the robins period then a full one in the FML to do just like you did and tag on to the NSL experiment and I've had one ever since. I've always gone to a lot of games over the years especially away. In the last 3 seasons I've done most but last year I could see myself missing out due to the villa and Newcastle trips attracting a lot of interest so I knew I'd need to get TOT just to give myself a chance. Sadly I know a lot of lads who I go to home and away games with who've become priority 3/4. |

If you missed the Powell season by choice or necessity as in my case then you ain't going to any away games. Tough to take. Think you and most others are panicking a bit unnecessarily tbh, granted tickets for the likes of Man Utd / liverpool will be hard to come by but you'll be fine for a lot of the others Stoke / Southampton / Swansea / West Brom, even Arsenal on a Wednesday night coming up to Christmas. Where there is a will there's a way, if I really want to get to go I'll probably look at doing hospitality in the home section. End of the day it's the same if not worse for every club in the Premier League with regard to away tickets. Never missed a Town game through the fact of not being able to get of ticket and for most of that time I've been a 'pay on the dayer' |

Couple of things not mentioned on here yet that I picked up from that thing....
1) Sounds like the new iteration of TicketTrade is going to be an actual system rather than organised by email. It was implied that final testing and details of the new TicketTrade will happen tomorrow (Tuesday), with an announcement early after. Hopefully this becomes something easy that fans are ENCOURAGED to do (maybe a small financial kick back from the subsequent resale?), to maximise the opportunity for as many folk as possible to watch Premier League football in Huddersfield.
2) The balloted ticket sale percentage will happen via an email system this season (like TicketTrade was), whilst they get to grips with learning how to do it and how people might use or abuse it.
3) Something else that I've forgotten. Maybe just the reiteration that the club simply isn't set up instantly ready as a Premier League outfit from day 1, and lots of us just need to kick back a little and enjoy the ride. They aren't making decisions, implementing systems and releasing kits intentionally to antagonise people, they're desperately beavering away trying to ensure that they're as ready as they can feasibly be, come August, for what is going to be a mesmerisingly memorable epic of a season.
I'm sure lots of us recall the excitement about the place when we've hosted or visited the big clubs in the cups, Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Southampton (Le Saux etc), Wimbledon, Everton etc...it's going to be like that every week for 9 months.

I'm therefore in Priority 3, which is higher than I expected to be. I thought it probably had to do with not wanting to exclude young'uns from the away day experience. How many teenagers/in early 20s could have had a 10 year season ticket? Unless their parents were regulars also? A lot of younger folk will have drifted away from Town to nearby Premier League teams over the years, and this may be a small step towards preventing even more from doing so. Its a tough call I guess - a lot of long time fans seem to feel pretty hard done by (and I can understand why) but the risk of the away following being an old boys club is probably not good for the longer term future of the club. That's my take on it anyway. |

Can confirm, especially having been at the ATT meeting, that the NSL/Cowshed Loyal had no say in the priority system. Everyone around the table was asked for ideas, but ultimately the ticket office designed the system. |

I'm a member of the CL and coincidentally (not related) a member of the ATT group, and there's absolutely no correlation between any of this and the CL group. Even the ATT group struggled to make any absolute suggestions on what's best for the priority system - I think everyone, the club included, accepted that it was going to be very hard to please everyone. The only thing from the final system that was discussed by the ATT was the idea of using SC history, as this is the only firm previous information the club had. Aside that, it's been pretty much decided by the club. |

Perhaps the club has missed a trick cos I was expecting a re-launch of the T-O-T for 2017/18 with an increased annual sum that I would happily have forked out to secure as someone who goes everywhere week in week out, so to find they've used last years qualification to give me P1 status without further outlay is a real bargain. My only downer is my lad is P2 so sitting together wont happen - but he'll be delighted with that.

What does "like TicketTrade was" mean? We have never had a ticket trade system have we? When I wasn't using my season card I've just either rung up the ticket office or emailed them with my seat numbers to release to other folk. I mentioned to them several times it would be good to have an online system to make this easier. They said they were working on one for this season. |
