Fulham ticket details?

Humpty said:
No value in buying a season ticket this year; certainly not for me anyway. They're charged at a higher price than existing and you're still at the back of the queue for away tickets. There's little benefit from it other than cheaper tickets on the understanding that you attend every game.

Non season ticket holders will be at the back of the queue. I doubt any have 160 points.

The Fulham game is not typical - normally any sort of season ticket helps you get an away ticket.

I was a bit shocked by £520 full adult price for a new season ticket now after early bird. Early bird is always worth taking if you are going for a season card and know what you are doing in say April for the season ahead. There are credit facilities available. The second season the card is cheaper.

Why should someone who has just bought one get the same priority over those who have had them years and gone to plenty of away games though? When tickets for high demand games can be limited you need some sort of priority system in place

You may be right but that doesn’t encourage or incentivise people to buy a season ticket.

I have 168 points, and so broadly agree with you on all of that. I don't get to many home games because I don't live on Teesside, but that's one of the reasons I've kept my season ticket (even when living in the US) is so that I can have the best chance of getting tickets for the games I want.

My challenge is how the next generation of supporters can ever hope to get tickets for high demand games, if they're always behind the more senior generation simply because we've had our ST's longer.

I actually don't think there's a fair way of solving these type of problems, as peoples individual circumstances will always drive dis-satisfaction.

The longer you have consecutively held a season ticket should determine how many points you get. Someone who has had one for 1- 5 years should not get the same points as someone who has had one for 5 - 10 years. The points should be bracketed and as you move up you get the extra points.

Think it should be more focused on away games personally. It probably costs more and takes more time for one trip to Swansea on a Tuesday night over attending 20 home games with a ST for most local fans

In line with the devaluation of the season card due to the points system, Boro sell season cards for higher prices than those that are renewing. It’s almost like they don’t want new season card holders.

Thats true, but for the majority of away games you will still get a ticket with a ST though, I dont see what else the club could do, its unfair that someone could attend every game but then miss out on a ticket for a local away game because they werent quick enough buying a ticket over someone who could be attending their first away game of the season

I think that has to be factored in but you can't not reward season ticket holders or whats the point in having one?

The points system has to reward all fans but for me any system that rewards people more for putting money into other clubs rather than your own is flawed.

It sort of happens at present:

Gold - 80? - 20 years plus
Chairman Drink 75? 2015/16 onwards
Newest - 70?

We have to be careful for younger fans too - they could never have had older cards, but can be just as keen and passionate.

Sorry I meant it should be towards ST holders who attended more away games than a ST holder who attends home games only

Why? That’s how it’s been done for years. The perk of a season ticket is now diluted.

yes and the longer they hold a card the more points they get so for example years 1-5 (1-3 or however its decided) they get 2 points per year, years 6-10 they get 4 points per year. Thats all new starts not just youngs un.

The numbers are just plucked from he sky in terms of matches/points but the principle of the longer you consecutively hold a season ticket the more points you get is sound.

When you attend most games home and away you can easily spend 3/4k every season following the team, how is it fair that someone who only goes to home games would get the same level of priority for Sunderland away for example than someone who has gone to every game? Imagine spending that much every year then missing out on tickets for a big game
 
If you have an ordinary season ticket and go to all the away games then you have more points than a season ticket holder who only goes to home games, even if it's a gold card, so I don't see your point.
 
£30 a ticket for 23 games is £690. Nothing else is going back to the club unless you go by club travel. Notwithstanding I understand your point. My point is the devaluation of the season ticket. It’s not worth what it was and under this system that’s a fact.

Yes but you have to factor in that some people have spent considerable sums of money year after year through thick and thin putting money into the club not into away teams and that has to be taken into consideration as well.
 
Anyway, more to the point, there's nothing about conditions for entry or whether those 1,000 tickets allow for spacing out or they are simply cramming people in. I see Chelsea are requiring a negative test or proof of double vaccination for their early games.
