My comments were directed at the shambolic ticket sales arrangements not NSC users so don't give me that " Did you go to Gillingham " crap.

Just heard from a friend who has never seen the Albion that he got 3 x £46 tickets.Yet some genuine fans who have paid lots of money for a few seasons couldn't purchase the better tickets.This is my point.Season ticket holders,ams regulars,missed out.It is wrong.No one can convince me otherwise.Great having new fans etc but the genuine diehards have definately missed out.

Who says season ticket holders have missed out?

Is there a season ticket holder who hasn't got a ticket? Have we sold out? If that is you then add your name......

Surely people who have been there for the last 5 years should have some priority to people who are going to Cardiff as its a good day out but will be back supporting Man Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal next season.
 


Miffed is a good word actually. Mild annoyance. That just about sums up my view of ST-holders not getting priority. But the club had a lot of different factors to weigh up and I give 'em a pass on this. I have no problem with non-regular Albion fans who were that motivated enough to get up early enough and queue long enough to go and get the best tickets - good luck to 'em. If any of their little Johnnys and Marys were wearing Arsenal and Chelski shirts, well, what better way to cure them of this sad malaise by taking them on a wonderful adventure next weekend to watch one of the greatest Albion victories of the modern era. We'll have 'em hooked for life as they watch Danny parading the cup around the Millstad :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

I agree.

What I have said is, has any season ticket holder actually missed out yet?

As an AMS member I may well have missed out.

Living outside of Brighton I posted my application early on Friday morning. If it didn't get there today and sales are still strong tomorrow ( and a bit of panic generates more panic buying), I may well be without Tickets for next sunday. :angry:

Still, I could always buy some off the burberry wearers outside the millenium. :angry:

Some season ticket and genuine fans who travel to away games every week may have missed out on not getting decent seats.Not missing out on a ticket completely but they are still missing out.

All the seats are decent seats. It has been said on here already.

I got up at dawn and queued for £32 seats. I am a season ticket holder, driving from Huddersfield to Brighton for 2/3rds of the season, I've only missed 7 games all season and I am happy with what I have got.

Good
 


shut your whingin tones

I am a season ticket holder who joined the line at 8.30 am and got his ticket at 1.30 pm. We had a good laugh with people around us, got a beer in the boozer and enjoyed the sun because we knew that we were getting our tickets to Cardiff. All this moaning about ticket allocation is bollocks.The Albion done the best job they could. If all you can do is moan then f*** off back to selhurst because i intend to enjoy the whole day and look forward to taking my seat, wherever it is and sing my team to victory.

COME ON YOU SEAGULLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's very difficult to call for me. I have only been to 3 home games this season but every away including all 3 cups.
There were probably a few in my situation as many people are fed up with withdean.
Yes season ticket holders should get priority but so should away fans like me.
At such short notice it was impossible to work out a decent way of getting tickets to the loyal fans.
Maybe it should have been season ticket holders and people with stubs from either Wrexham or the Bristol City matches. But that would envolve foresight which some people seem to lack.

That annoys me slightly. I'm not bothered really. I have a decent seat with all my mates. Mission acomplished. I even enjoyed the queuing to an extent. It was fun to be a part of something so big. The city was out and supporting our club. If I had however got a bad ticket and someone who hasn't been this season got a good one I'd have been anoyed. The 312 people who travelled to Grimsby to watch us lose 2-1 in February - they deserve bloody seats in the directors box! The club had a big, difficult job on their hands though and whilst lessons can be learned I think they have done alright. Roll on the Division One play-offs. Premier League... the WINNERS are coming.

I blame Swindon, if they had done the decent thing and beaten us on Thursday then none of this terrible queueing would have happened
