Maybe you need to sign up to platinum to get a pint of harveys?

Since prices are listed for the 3 non-ST holders schemes and not for the ST holders schemes, that leads me to believe they are free. I shall go and find the Barber statement from when he announced it. I seem to recall him saying it would be free to ST holders in that. Don't quote me on it though. I may be pedantic but I am also fallible.

Maybe, but itt asks for card payment details.

Of course it does. The tickets aren't going to be free. If they have your details along with the commitment to buy for every cup game, it simply saves both you and the club time ordering the ticket and making payment when tickets go on sale in the future.

Are you guarantied to get tickets for cup and away games?

I'm a ST holder, and don't really have an probs getting cup and away tickets anways. I take it this membership doesn't apply to ST holders?

So it's all gone live on the ticket site, before the official announcement email and article on the club website ???

I'm sure all the details will be made clear with the official launch communication.

I don't get this confusion.

Platinum - as well as season ticket, you commit to buy all away and cup games. This is why they need card details
Gold - as well as season ticket, you commit to buy all home cup games (replaces Auto scheme from last year)

C'est simple!

Right so as a sth, I will still be offered my seat for cup games as last season?

Cool

Thanks :thumbsup: I don't think there's any point signing up, I've never had trouble getting cup or away tickets.

What about non ST holders?

I guess so, but assume you'll have to pay full booking fee each time?
No. 50p off with Gold and free with Platinum.

Ok. But away games are then a lottery and I will only pick up what is left after everyone else have had their pick?

...and is it automatic or do I have to sign something to become a gold/platinum member?

Same here but there will be plenty available as we rarely sell out our away allocation.

Platinum is for those that would have bought a ticket anyway so does Gold get priority over a normal STH for an away ticket, I am assuming they do.

I didn't see anything previously... I did see a Blue Package that guaranties you a seat to every home league game, seems pointless, why not buy a season ticket?
It gives you priority not guarantee. This will be for those who can't make every match for whatever reason. Work/family commitments etc. In my case, I was unable to see every match last season due to long term illness.

This table

http://www.seagulls.talent-sport.co.uk/assets/HTML/assets/Priority_matrix.pdf

seems to suggest that:

Season Ticket Holders who do nothing are 'silver', they get 23 home games and 1000 points as expected.
Gold gets automatic home cup game tickets at a reduced (50p) booking fee. 1050 points.
Platinum gets no booking fees, tickets for every league and cup game, home and away, and 1330 points.

Whilst silver does not say 'gets own seat for cup games', I reckon you would still get priority. Nobody has access to your seat ahead of you. You just don't get it automatically.

I can't tell the difference between Bronze and Blue. Possibly a money-spinner.


I could be wrong.

I assume points are still carried over and halved or is the slate wiped clean and we all start again ?

The difference is a place on the season ticket waiting list. I'm guessing you get the extra tenner back when you eventually buy your ST.
