How come as well they keep sending me club text saying tickets are still available for games and I am a Season ticket holder and have been from the start !

Some people are just spoiled. Are these seats worse than the ones at Withdean or Priestfield?
Excellent point. There are plenty of seats in The Amex that I would not be happy with at £30+ ... if it was the last seat in the house for a sold out game then I'd be happy to have it but not when there are so many better options that should be available.Yes actually. Withdean for all of its faults, which it had many, the view from the south stand was actually pretty good. The tickets that are available currently on the site are for the very front of the East Stand and next to the away fans. Why would I want to sit there when there are likely empty seats in a much better position available?

Indeed. Marketing the option of collecting tickets at the ground means that those people won't have the opportunity to use the subsidised travel scheme - but this is obviously NOT creating travel chaos (which is the fear that led to the "no pay on the gate" rule).Its a different issue, but life would be much easier for many of us if they lifted the pay on the gate restrictions. The transport issues are pretty well sorted now (with the odd hiccup excepted) which I believe was a sticking point for Potg, I think the club could get these restrictions relaxed.

Maybe some question should be fired of to Barber with ref to this.
It is the same for home fans, I believe, using the 'print at home' feature, although I'm sure you can collect a ticket too if required.
I really don't get the ticket sale policy. There's a decent chance that people may have looked earlier in the week for, say, a group of 4. They'd have been unable to find them so would have given up on this game. As it transpires they could go and sit together. Bizarre.

But this is nothing new is . Our match by match ticket sales are crap in both numbers, mainly because of price, but also in organisation.
This week, someone who hasn't been to the Amex phoned up to buy 4 seats.
They hadn't got a purchase history, so were told they couldn't buy tickets.
How does a new fan/customer get a purchase history if they aren't on the database?
They need to go to a game that doesn't require a purchase history , normally one where the away support will be small and there are no policing issues. Another way to get on the database is buying tickets for a pre-season friendly.
