Man City: Gold, Blue, Young Seagulls prioritised

[steward 433]

Season tickets should get priority, every time, for everything.

Without them, there is no club to support. Simple as that.

They do get first priority!!

 

[El Presidente]

Dont worry Beachy & family will be in a category all of their own.

Is it true he has a cousin called Jabba The, or am I mixing him up with Safeway?

Spot on . (I am an EX Season Holder)

I believe that they do now get priority anyway.

My son is in the Juniour Seagulls or whatever it's called now, however I am only a 'white' member.

I expect he'll be going on his own!

The interesting thing here is how this match is priced - let's remember this may well be Man City's reserve side - if the club out price the game they will actually have a lot of empty seats.

I would suggest normal League game prices.

Definitely. But NOT FOR AWAY GAMES.

 

[Kylies Stunt Arse]

Can't see it being any other way. As long as the tickets are maximum one adult per family surname that is!

MASSIVE can of worms there...

 

[227 BHA]

Yeah thats right. Lets give the priority to those who line the pockets of the other league clubs rather than those who keep this club going!

at last some sense talked on here......

the yoof may be the future, but I pay my £420 odd squids and DEMAND that I should be given priority....

the yoof should be cleaning my chimney not going to association football games...

but if they're from Mile Oak ??

 

[Jahooli]

I hope there is some priority for me as a Brighton supporter who regulary goes to the games over a Man City supporter that lives in Brighton and just fancies a ticket.
Ticket stub for Barnet would do maybe?

I saw a lot of Brighton based Leeds fans in the south stand at our last game with them.

You can only have Priority.

First priority isn't priority

 

[SICKASAGULL]

If the complete Badgers language at matches is in line with his comments on this thread then his season ticket should be withdrawn,this would provide an additional seat for the big game.
I trust those supporters who sit in his area will draw the stewards attention to any outbursts of bad language,which cannot be tolerated particularly when women and children are present.

 

[Dave the OAP]

but if they're from Mile Oak ??

especially if they come from mile oak

 

[empire]

that is a very good question which I would like to know

well if the number of 7000 junior members take up their ticket,wont be many left

What I find interesting is that the person (bobzam) who posted the question on " ask the club" actually said -

"Will the fans who went last night to the Barnet game get first option for Man City??

I know we have done this previously for other competitions and I believe this to be fair!!"

The clubs response is fair but the poster was implying that just because he had a ticket stub to the Barnet game (one single match at reduced prices) that he should have first priority over others, many who have spent the best part of £500 up front.

Join the queue mate, behind the gold, blue members etc as this was laid out as the way tickets would be proritised last year!

And incidently, I hold both a season ticket holder and a ticket stub from Tuesday so I am impartial

I was out the country on tuesday, am a STH, but I agree that the fans who went to the Barnet game should have absolute priority

Is Beach Hut on holiday or something ? This is going to get BRILLIANT when he arrives on the scene.

Has he written to the club and the Argus yet, demanding priority for his near neighbours and family pets?

I booked my tickets for Bristol Rovers today and asked about the Man City game. I was told that if I wanted a ticket I would have to become a Blue member. My lad could get a ticket by becoming a Junior Seagull but that wouldn't get me a ticket.

I have looked on the Seagulls website and that will cost me £30. Now despite seeing 20+ home games last season I don't think I'm 60quid interested in watching Man City reserves so I guess I probably won't get to see the game.

Something is still not quite right that we were among the 4,000+ who suffered some right shite games last season but can't get a ticket for the big games.

It's not right that Junior Seagulls get in before people that pay full price each week to go either! But they have to have some system in place. STH's and Blue Members have an absolute right for first dibs.

Don't disagree with STHs but think making people pay £30.00 for Blue membership is a bit cheeky. Every time I buy a ticket it is logged on the ticket database so they know exactly who has purchased how many tickets over the course of a season. Priority could then be given to those that have bought the most tickets without charging another 30quid.

The thing is, the club can take the piss now with a £30.00 surcharge to cash in on a one-off big match. Fair enough. But people have long memories. And the club will find it much more difficult to market to the same target audience when times are lean.

Maybe an old-skool ballot would be fairer (remember the ballots - it's why many of us became STH in the first place, in order to avoid these, and it's why the Ticket Exchange Forum was originally created)

That is a good idea. A points system is a valid suggestion. The flaw in the plan is away supporters who go to lots of away games but can't easily get to home games.

I guess whatever system we can come up with, there will be a section of supporters crying FOUL!.
