Yes on a portable telly in the middle of the pitch. Be like being on the back rows at BMD
Last one from me on this as Iām on holiday and the missus is waiting for me to get ready so we can go out for a mealā¦I appreciate your comment mate.
The one thing that cuts across any case made for the club concerning the definition of the word 'priority' being left vague: the way they doled out the Roma tickets. That was first come first served and so there's a shock to the system that this is now abandoned as it looked like it was the method to be used this season.
Overall, I think they suckered fans into the memberships with a false prospectus.
Just had a thought, the club have been saying since the launch of the memberships that more detailed information of the on sale dates and ticket purchasing processes etc (or words to that affect) would be announced in due course. There was always going to be more detailed info released, which they done today.
And couple that with the fact that there was literally zero reason or need for anyone to buy a membership before the Brighton tix were announced (Roma went to General Sale), if people were REALLY that bothered and concerned about any changes or how things would play out (given itās a new season, new owners, new stadium etc), then they really should have held off on buying a membership until they were in receipt of all of the facts, and THEN made a decision. But I tell you what, if that happened, practically 100% of people who have already bought a FB+ would still buy one.
Anyway, Iām now off out to eat some camel ballsack or similar

This ticketing revelation suddenly makes the upmarket box and corpo ticket stuff seem a bit more value. Wanna guarantee the game with no fuss, avoid the ballot? Ā£1200 a season. Make sure you stay on the bus.
Clever way of prompting maxxing out the most expensive access.

Yep I saw your post about this, tricky one that mate.
The random seat allocation is just absurd.
I have season ticket and my dad has a priority membership - it would be nice to actually have a chance at sitting near him for the times he does get a ticket rather than just some random place.
The ballot part is fine, but the random seat - get in the bin

Although a lot of that would be undesirable in English football, the NFL has had 14 different Super Bowl winners since 2000. The Premier League has had 6 different winners over the same timeframe, with just 3 teams monopolising most of the wins. Two of those teams owe their success to vast influxes of cash from an oligarch and a royal family, before the rules being changed to prevent others from doing the same. One of those teams has been accused of cheating on a grand scale, yet to date seem beyond punishment.
If we are going down the road of hyper capitalism in football, we could at least follow the Americans in making the competition more equitable and less monopolised. Sadly, weāll probably just end up with the worst of both worlds.

And what about the mums and dads who take there kids and are offered seating in a stand nowhere near them, and are worried about where they are. Ridiculous idea.

kids aren't allowed in gen pop seats. there's a family enclosure specific for them?
They really should have.
To me, the offering of two distinct memberships implied that those who paid a bit more did so for a better chance of obtaining a ticket.
If they feel the need to ballot games in this way, with resale then being listed as an option before a sale period for the second membership group, they clearly anticipate most games simply being a lottery that costs Ā£60 just to be eligible for. Not quite how it was advertised.
But thatās exactly how it is isnāt it?
Those who āpaid a bit moreā can enter a ballot if they so wish and stand a chance of getting tickets, and now without the need to run the previous 10am Monday morning gauntlet on the website that literally everyone hated doing for various reasons and have been moaning about for years.
Those who didnāt pay a bit more,
canāt.

This does seem like the fairest way for people to have a chance to get a ticket each gameā¦ although Ā£60 is a lot for a membership.
Hopefully people get to go to at least 3/4/5 games a season minimum and it doesnāt become a closed shop of needing credits to get to a fixture.

My point was that it seemed to imply āa better chanceā rather than āyour only chanceā.
The Ā£30 membership seems to now be a glorified fee to use the resale platform.
Maybe Iām just being naive.

You're right about one thing: the club left things unspecified over how members would be getting preference. The only question is whether or not we believe they left it vague with the intention of catching 'customers' on the hop.
