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. 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. My mistake, by TicketTrade & emails in number 2 I was actually on about the email system to request transfer and release of season ticket seats in order to get into the South Stand. TicketTrade in number 1 was relating to there now being an actual system to release season tickets to replace you emailing / phoning to make your space available as you weren't attending, and as I wrote, they ARE working on something to handle this, and final testing and handover etc is happening tomorrow according to Sue. |

Thanks - got it now. All the web / ticket buying systems have worked well for me in the past but appreciate they haven't for many. Implementing the Priority system electronically will be a decent challenge for the club's "IT Department"! |

I would have thought the 10 year season tickets would come in at level 3. Wouldn't that make sense?

Forest at home and Watford at home can't think of any other exciting games under Powell? I don't think you are trying very hard. |

They do, but along with anyone whos had a SC for the last 2 seasons. So basically no acknowledgment of their length of support. A lot of people in Cat 3 won't have even seen town play in league 1. A lot in Cat 2 won't have either. but they will miss out on their free wallet, so fairs fair.  |

Keep moving the goalposts mel, you'll score eventually!  So moving onto B&W and the patrons. If you cancel it the day after you use it to get your priority 1, then i doubt theres anything the club could or would do about it. If your membership of either had run out before this scheme came into effect then you wouldn't get any priority for it. Yet even though LAST SEASONS TOT membership had ended, the same isn't true- it still gets you priority for this season too. can you not see the difference there? The trigger date for B&W / Patrons was 17th July 2016. TOT went on sale on the 18th of July. If you'd purchased either on those dates, and remained a member of either of the first two, until the season ended, then discontinued, you'd have gained priority 1 - coupled with a 10 year season card. I'm not moving any goalposts slaps - it's blatantly obvious to me, that the club have endeavoured to reward anybody that took up one of the options for gaining priority LAST SEASON, by rewarding them for it THIS SEASON. The fact that fans commitment to Patrons & B&W tends to be ongoing is irrelevant - its the time period of last season that was significant. As a footnote, I'd say anybody wanting to increase their priority rating going forward might benefit from joining B&W/Patrons, but that's up to every individual to consider for themselves. You moving the goalposts mel, because you're bringing B&W and patrons into this. I don't really have an issue with either group getting priority. Both have always been sold with that as a perk, so if anyone didn't join, like me, we only have ourselves to blame. My beef which you don't have an answer for, is with the TOT . That was surely bought not for a calendar year, but for season 16/17- ie when the season ends, the membership ends. buying it last summer has for some reason got each member 2 years priority ( presuming they have the relevant SC history ) The club talk about rewarding loyalty, but have put more emphasis on that one off small payment of £20, than DECADES of continuous support. |

I do have an answer, and I've given it to you several times. The TOT for last season, gives priority for this season. B&W / Patrons priority for LAST season - gives them priority for this season - If you can't understand that point, don't bother replying - because I'm starting to feel like I'm dealing with an idiot. |

If you saw my earlier posts, i said i thought the continuous record wasn't right or fair , and should have been more like 110 years out of the last 12 or so. i know a few lads whove been SC holders for years but have had to miss a season or two for Uni or something. I accept what you say about youngsters though. Suppose my answer to that would be that they are still young so have a lifetime of support to hopefully see the club play at Anfield, old trafford in the league. For the older long established fans, this season might be it. Id sadly have to agree with the last line, though i hope the club reviews this in a better thought out way ASAP. |

Those fans that made that commitment LAST SEASON, have been rewarded THIS SEASON with priority ticketing. It doesn't matter how long TOT was for, same as it doesn't matter if I quit the B&W foundation. I will still maintain my priority ticketing for THIS SEASON. How is that difficult to understand? |

The club have introduced a system, that recognises those fans that made a commitment and desire to attend away games last season, and combined that to allow fans old and new to go to away games. It's about as fair as it gets, given the information and history that the club have at hand. |

I simply cannot understand why some folk are against ToT being priority. It is the only thing which relates to away games and those who spent £20 on that last year got only 1 game of benefit - play off v Shef Wed. It seems perfectly reasonable to use that as one of the measures to allocate priority to away supporters.
I say this without bias because I was not a ToT member last season and also have a missing season recently as I didn't have a SC for financial reasons in 2015-16 so am priority 4.no bitterness here - no complaints about the club because what they have done seems fair. Three of the people I go with are ToT members and have been SC holders for over 10 years and been to more games than me in that time. I've been to way more in the while if my life as I went to approx 35-40 games a season for most of the period 1978 to 1993 but they are young and deserve the priority for their recent investment.

I suspect the majority of people who forked out for TOT were regular away fans who were worried that they were not going to be able to get tickets! In my opinion the £20 cost for TOT is pretty irrelevant!! Rightly or wrongly it is probably the only data the club have as to those people who are potentially committed to away game in the recent past. We would all love to go back in time and for the club to have some kind of data and points system on those who bought away tickets, but they don't!! Not sure if it has been mentioned but this is probably down to cost - it's alright fans saying they should have it but they didn't!! For the sake of clarity, I am cat one but my son is Cat 3 so effectively I am cat 3 as I'm not gonna buy tickets just for myself without him!! |

To now base priority off a tiny investment like that doesn't seem too fair imo Agree and I thought there would be a massive take up which would mean I'd have no chance of getting tickets. I seem to remember sales being red hot in the first few days but then it took a while to sell out even on general sale. I still think the majority of games this season will be the same but who wants to go to Anfield anyway? |

I think you're all missing the point about the TOT scheme..
Last season , after a bit of a Kaffuffle...the 3 groups , B&WF, Patrons and TOT were placed in the top priority for away tickets for SC holders.
This season the club have discontinued the TOT scheme but have honoured the commitment for those fans that were left in the lurch by the ending of this scheme and the replacement with a new scheme. That seems fair enough but it only works if you had 10 years SC history. Many ex TOT didn't have a 10 year record..so slipped down not to 2nd, or 3rd but 4th ranking. If you're trying to say that is still a good deal then you must be a numpty.

We went to about 10 away games, no TOT, the only one we couldn't get was Sheff Wed play offs, and suspected Newcastle/Villa may be difficult too. |

I couldn't give damn what others thought, for someone like me who goes to loads of away games, but pay on the day, ToT was a no brainer last season. |

I think you're all missing the point about the TOT scheme.. Last season , after a bit of a Kaffuffle...the 3 groups , B&WF, Patrons and TOT were placed in the top priority for away tickets for SC holders. This season the club have discontinued the TOT scheme but have honoured the commitment for those fans that were left in the lurch by the ending of this scheme and the replacement with a new scheme. That seems fair enough but it only works if you had 10 years SC history. Many ex TOT didn't have a 10 year record..so slipped down not to 2nd, or 3rd but 4th ranking. If you're trying to say that is still a good deal then you must be a numpty. Honoured the commitment for those left in the lurch? The commitment was away ticket priority for last season. The commitment was honoured. |

People paid that £20 because they were worried about not getting a Newcastle ticket. It was basically a premium charge for the Newcastle game To now base priority off a tiny investment like that doesn't seem too fair imo Stayed out of it so far but here's my twopenneth! I think the quote about the Newcastle game is being massively overplayed- think some will have bought it for that reason but a tiny minority! I suspect the majority of people who forked out for TOT were regular away fans who were worried that they were not going to be able to get tickets! In my opinion the £20 cost for TOT is pretty irrelevant!! Rightly or wrongly it is probably the only data the club have as to those people who are potentially committed to away game in the recent past. We would all love to go back in time and for the club to have some kind of data and points system on those who bought away tickets, but they don't!! Not sure if it has been mentioned but this is probably down to cost - it's alright fans saying they should have it but they didn't!! For the sake of clarity, I am cat one but my son is Cat 3 so effectively I am cat 3 as I'm not gonna buy tickets just for myself without him!! Nah, they were all Johnny come latelys according to some on here. |
