[Albion] so here is a poll showing success in both ticket lotteries

[Change at Barnham]

If only 2000 tickets out of about 22000 are made available to Priority Group 1 it must mean that you have less than a less than 10% chance of being drawn in the first group.
(rather than a 1 in 4 chance if the ballot groups were split equally).

Does anyone know the percentage of Season Ticket holders in each of the four priority groups?
I would imagine it's something like:
Group 1 = 10%
Group 2 = 20%
Group 3 = 35%
Group 4 = 35%

n.b. I was Group 4 for S'ton and got a ticket on the exchange, and Group 2 for Sheff Utd where I got a ticket in this mornings bun fight.

Lucky you never rented from Nicholas Van Hoogstraten. You’d have ended up in a bad way...

As Harty once said on BBC Radio Sussex, if Nick van H. had been a full-on Albion fan, Bill Archer might have been made an offer he couldn't refuse...…!!

If anybody achieves a P1 - P1 - P1 in the next ballot tomorrow, do we organise a lynching?

Reckon your splits to be about right as you'd expect groups 3 & 4 to contain the majority of people.

Probably a wake for the poor sod who has to watch 3 defeats in a row and does the honourable thing...

 

[Lower West Stander]

2 got a ticket this morning.

Son less fortunate - 4 and 4.

The club have previously stated that pw1 has 2000 and pw2, 3 & 4 are all the same at approx 7000 and the numbers in our (very small) poll roughly confirm this

1 and 2 but no tickets so far, although I've only had a ST for 25 years. Hopefully get the chance to get a ticket before the end of the year.

Same here but 4,4 and 4 although not that bothered at the moment but it would be nice to get a higher number.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Same here but 4,4 and 4 although not that bothered at the moment but it would be nice to get a higher number.

5 or 6?

Thanks, I wouldn't be surprised if I end up in tier 5 the way its going.

How can you be in PW1 and not get a ticket??

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

The allocation algorithm, if there even is one, is clearly and grossly unfair. Those that are lucky enough to get a ticket should then be recycled to the back of the queue. Good work by the club, way to piss off a large percentage of the core 'customer' base

I agree, can’t be that difficult with database software to exclude everyone who got a ticket from the next P1 ballot, and could only be drawn in P2,3,4 for that next game. You’d then surely give a greater statistical chance of everyone going. I know someone who got P1 & P1, don’t think he has the nerve to tell me what he got in the Arsenal ballot..

 

[wardy wonder land]

poll to be updated for the 3rd draw ?

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

My luck seems to be growing, a lowly P3 for the Stains game, which was fine as l couldn't go anyway, P2 for Sheff Utd and managed to bag a seat, albeit a grotty one in the south east corner, and this morning l'm told l'm in P1 for the visit of the Gooners.

It will only ever be secon best at most, until all restrictions are lifted again.

 

[pasty]

A question for those that have bought tickets.

My group are all in Group1 for Arsenal and to make sure we sit "near" each other, I've said I'll get the tickets. None of my group have taken their S/T refund so will I be able to use their credit balance to buy their tickets?
