This is flawed in so many ways it’s ridiculous. But the biggest point is surely that it diminishes one of the few benefits a bronze member has at the moment. By bringing in another 20,000 STHs who can buy a ticket at the same time as them it takes away their priority period. Doesn’t seem right.
 




All of this, and Bronze members will be the supporters the club will be relying upon to fill empty seats if / when we drop back down into the Championship. If that happens, they will have to come and find me at Cambridge Utd as this is where I have decided to start taking my son as the whole Bronze thing suddenly doesn't seem worth it. I realise that this hasn't been implemented yet, but the club's thinking and direction of travel seems pretty clear.

Have been a bronze member for two years and tbh we wont bother again. :rolleyes:

Some s/t holder friends use the guest opportunity to bring a Chelsea mate to the Chelsea game, a Newcastle mate to that game, etc. Seems madness that they will get the same priority/opportunity as long term Bronze members, for a small pool of tickets.

I will be telling all my Bronze member friends to not bother getting Membership next season as i can get it cheaper and need only one membership as i know some only do evening games some do Saturdays and all support different teams,the club will lose out.Expect a lot more non Brighton fans if everyone does this!

I never have understood why STH's should have the right to get tickets for before the general public anyway, we have the right to our seats not the right to get our friends into games over others. Get right of this and give more people the chance to see games

To get tickets for their Arsenal and Chelsea mates. Bizarre.

Perhaps they deliberately waited for a moment of fans euphoria, to test the water on a long conceived scheme?

I've just answered their survey and said no. I very rarely buy guest tickets and don't want an extra £20 on my season ticket for some tatty welcome pack. I notice it's £20 across the board and no concession for pensioners.

The club can stick it.

Double standards then, as I or my daughter never wanted the a tatty junior membership pack hence not signing up and just got caught out by the small print.

Funny how life works isn't it.

Plus other comments left as well. £730 for a ST plus £200 for coach ticket. Next season they want to increase the two for a combined £70, count me out.
Handily for me, there is a seat next to me always empty as it is a single seat amongst rows of ST holders.
