not complaining about hangers on getting tickets before us...complaining about other st holders going before us

But it makes sense to stagger sales surely. Its the unlimited sales to ST holders that is causing a problem. IMO anyroad.

As unpopular as this maybe i think its time we introduced the points system like other clubs.

Whilst i appreciate my fortunate place being a Founder Member and getting my tickets early i do feel for the other fans.

Now i sit in the South Stand so would have been first pick but i dont think its fair how we can have fans in the West/East stand that go to every game home and away and are behind South Stand holders that maybe dont attend as many games.

I also dont doubt that there will be enough tickets but its still its the principle!

That said i also dont think its going to change anything and people will have to accept the club position



like you iv ordered my ticket allready but i wouldnt be upset if both stands went befor me what would upset me is the fact they can buy tickets for family and hangers on befor i could get mine that what wrong about it

Can I be really thick for a moment and double check that a £36 ticket for example, will be £36 wether a child or an adult is sitting in it?
I have to make completely sure as hopefully somebody will be buying my tickets for me, and I need the instructions to be perfectly clear.

I'm not moaning though just saying how £10 extra on a ticket does make a difference to some people less fortunate, wether it is our big day at wembley or not if you can't afford it you can't afford it simple as

I wasn't really meaning you Shaun. People were telling me there are plenty of tickets to go round everyone,and now these same folk are complaining they may run out of tickets that folk in the East stand want. All i got was scorn and negative posts from these same people. But yeah,you are right. It could screw a lot of folk up the way the club have handled this.

No mate, the £36 brand tickets are £36 for adults and £18 for juvenile/OAP.

Ahh yes, as it clearly mentions on the club site doh! :blush:
It doesn't mention the age for a child ticket though.
Could you oblige again please Jamie for someone having a very bad and confused day on an internet connection from hell? :wacko:

Surely if CFC wish to sell to ST's stand by stand then they need to allocate a tranche of tickets at each price pro-rata the number of ST's in each stand so that each group get an equal opportunity to purchase each ticket type.

hmmm, but that is something called common sense, of which there is an obvious lack of from the club(so sense therefore is not really common) :wacko: I think they have some sort of office prize fund and at the end of the month, whoever in the office has devised a scheme that has pi**ed people off the most that month, picks up the pot. Sorry, no pun intended...

This founder member thing bugs me and did at the time that is why i didn't go for it,i could afford it but town has been going for over a 100 years,ok they get free addmition to home games i have no problem with that but to get first dibs at an away game rankles with me why most are season ticket holders they should go on there allocated day,i can hold my head up high i pay the highest price for a season ticket and i have to get behind someone who has paid the cheapest it makes me wonder why i bother to be honest,if i was just someone who comes now and then i would not be able to talk,i have missed a few games home and away and i am being treated as a nobody by this club,it stinks....

the price you pay for your season ticket shouldnt mater one bit just cos you can afford some one who can only afford a kop season ticket should have exactly the same chance

But as I was saying the £40 being spent on tickets could have been thier food money or parking money or even petrol money to get there and may have just taken it over their budget, so in retrospect the £10 difference could be the difference in them enjoying the day at wembley or sitting at home and watching it


If a family of say 4, can't afford to somehow save up an extra £40 towards the whole cost before the end of March then I'd guess their financial situation is so dire that they shouldn't be going at all. I don't mean that in a horrible way, by the way, in case that comes across here.
If anyone actually was in this situtation, somehow, I have so many money tips and food shopping tips I can share that will easily save £40 between now and March off a family's usual expenses so they can go!
Anyway, this is getting a bit off topic now so I suppose I'll just have to agree to disagree!

From the Club's point of view, from the point of maximising income from ticket sales, I'm surprised you have an issue.

But surely Keith thats very pot kettle black, you think you have paid more for your season ticket so should get priority. Founder Members paid an additional £250 to the ST rate. So either money talks or it doesnt?
