I didnt say its the ONLY indicator, it's just a good one as in we can look back and see some evidence of the person we are buying for and make a decision on whether we trust they will treat the gesture with respect etc.Nsc isn’t a good indicator imo. I would rather take my son or grandson, both of whom are listed in my Family on the ticket site, and have both been to matches at Withdean. My grandson is home from uni today, and coming to the Brentford game tomorrow.
As for Nsc, there are quite a few contributors, I wouldn’t get a ticket for!
Exactly, so you agree its a good indicator thenAs for Nsc, there are quite a few contributors, I wouldn’t get a ticket for!
Am I alone in thinking that having STH guests before purchase history is unfair?
Maybe a bit. I don't really understand why anyone who was ever going to want tickets wouldn't be an Albion+ member though. It's quite clear that it gives you priority for tickets.
And you get a pen. And a seed stick!
There is that, but the £30 for membership (or whatever it is) seems a bit of a liberty to me and all too 'modern football'.
Wow. What a trek!
It's 30,500 per club.
Doesn't matter how many times you say it, there will still be HUNDREDS of posts from STHs wailing about getting one
I expect many of those 'guests' will actually have a purchase history ... as opposed to loads of people wanting a ticket that haven't been to a game in yonks!
I think that most people were reluctant as could see that tickets were often available without having to purchase Albion+ so couldn't see the advantage. Also lots of people were annoyed that they were now having to pay a one-off £30 to be able to legitimately do something that the club had previously been turning a blind eye to them doing illegally.
II genuinely reckon that there'll be a few well-off Japanese fans flying over and probably paying top dollar for the Club Wembley seats. I wouldn't be surprised to see Mr Udagawa in there entertaining his latest clients.Any chance you could get my friends Katsu and Sushi a ticket? They have been Albion fans for ages, several months at least, and would be prepared to fly in from Tokyo for the game.
Seem to recall a lot of posts like that on the old ‘season ticket renewal’ thread from (mostly negative) people who weren’t renewing and saying that tickets are readily available for all games anyway so why do I need to be ‘ripped off by the club for a membership’ etc…….
Exactly. You hope the majority of guests are exactly the same people with a PH who are hoping it goes to sale.
I've got a decent purchase history (STH for several years but covid and redundancy meant having to give it up) but am already squeezed out because I've not taken out a plus membership.
I concur
