The official Palace ticket thread [merged]

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Nope. Im happy. In future go to more games, why should you jcl get same priorities as me when I've sent thousands on away travel and collected my points.

Back of the queue boyo.

Absolutely this. We all knew the "rules" at the start of the season. Furthermore loyalty points were reall only ever gonna come into play for Palace and a team in the fa cup with a limited away end e.g Crawley. Hence why i have made sure i have gone to games...basically to GUARANTEE a Palace ticket.

Dont know you or Marc but 1310 loyalty points is hardly a JCL. Do you understand how the loyalty points system works?

 

[drew]

1310 points so may miss out. This is the biggest away game of the season and if I don't get a ticket I will be disappointed because it will be the first Palace game I have missed since Stamford Bridge. However, this is the fairest system the club have ever had so I don't blame them. Everyone knew the system at the outset so no excuses. We've taken far more than 2700 to Selhurst before and I doubt the home end will be sold out but any JCLs that think we won't even sell out 2700 are totally clueless. What are the chances of more tickets in the AW stand being released nearer the time!

 

[Bean]

I don't understand why people with 1330+ points are worrying so much, there will probably be a fair amount left and you will be first in line to get them. I only have 1100 and I'm not worrying too much.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

FWIW I do think even less than 1330 will be enough. But to be absolutely one hundred percent sure with literally no margin for error i made sure i racked up the points.

 

[catfish]

I went to the Gibraltar X1 home friendly in 1969 and it now seems that that counts for nothing......


Oh 6-0 by the way.....Dawson got 4.

Bloody JCL.

What makes me laugh is this !!!
Some people like myself have been watching Brighton for over 35 years home, away Goldstone, Priestfield, Wembley, Millenium Stadium, Carlisle on freezing winter nights and only this season have I actually been able to afford a season ticket for the first time.
I have racked up 7 away games already just this season hundreds over the years yet, I find myself bottom of the pile for Palarse tickets. The prawn sandwich brigade in the 1901 club a lot of which had never been to a Brighton match in their lives because they don't even support Brighton find themselves first on the loyalty list ? What a f***ing joke !!!!!!!!!
Now I'm not saying all of them in the 1901 club etc but a good few . How exactly is that fair ??

 

[BHAryan]

Id be as gutted as you marc but the club cannot please everyone, best bet is to just keep scouting for a ticket and look forward to next years trip to selhurst...thats if palace dont go down

 

[brightonrock]

I have 1130. I've more or less given up. Those of you with 1300+ will be absolutely fine.

 

[Lush]

As i have said before, where they went wrong is calling them LOYALTY points.

What they really are is a REWARD for spending money with the club (ie 1901/season tickets/individual match tickets and away ticket booking fees) and should therefore be called REWARD points.

 

[BHAryan]

Im on 1400 purely because of last year ST ajd cup games and a fair few away

 

[Meade's Ball]

I'll be gutted if i can't get my hands on any ticket for that game. I haven't been to any other away games and doubt i could actually raise the money to buy a ticket, but if i don't get one delivered to me, a sense of betrayal will quickly become attached to my relationship with and thoughts toward the Albion. I am 36, for god's sake. 36! I went to university. Unifuckingversity. Why give tickets to the oiks who fail to understand things to the level i do and are probably all thieves and child-slavery-mongers getting together enough cash for the ticket via only illicit methods? It makes no arse-ing sense to me. None of it. f*** it. f*** it all.

 

[NorthStandN1A]

loyalty points system is fine....just think trips to middlesbrough, derby and brum should earn more points than pompey, saints and millwall.

Totally agree - Derby in mid week should be worth 50

 

[Half Man Half Biscuit]

Absolutley 100% correct sir (bet you never thought you'd see that).

The whole debacle is ridiculous. The lowest number of points the website mentions is 1330, and those people cant buy their tickets until 22nd January. How many people can have 1330 points? They would have to be Amex Season ticket holders (18,500) who were Withdean Season Ticket Holders (4,000 ish?) plus people who have been to at least 2 home cup games and 4 away games, or 8 away games and no home cup games - remembering that the majority of fans don't actually go to away games, I reckon this is only about 1500 people.

Surely the simplest way would have been to think "We've got 2700 tickets available, lets look at the database and see how many loyalty points the person in position 2700th has. Say it's 1250 points. Right, so we'll make tickets available for a week at 1250 points and upwards. That gives the 2700 most loyal fans the chance to get their tickets. If they aren't organised enough to sort out their tickets in a week, then tough luck. After a week, we'll make it 1100, that's probably another 2000 people. Give them a few days, and then if there are any left then just make it available to season ticket holders".

EASY.

Is the right answer.

 

[Arkwright]

I really can't understand why Palace are giving us so few tickets, smells it tit for tat to me.

I'm way down the pecking order and gutted but if needs must I'll just sit in the Palace end and keep my mouth shut, I'm sure I wont be alone.

The Loyalty Scheme is the only fair way of allocating the tickets and all credit to the club. I gave up my season ticket at Withdean as I moved and am penalised for that but that's just life.

 

[8ace]

Why does this game k.o at 800pm instead of 745pm

Agree, if they call them Loyalty points then we should be getting points for previous year's season tickets, IMO

 

[NorthStandN1A]

Loyalty Cut Off For Palace?? Place your bets!!!

As I wasn't a STH last season I have only been able to accumulate 1130 points, and have resigned myself to the fact that I will most likely miss out on the derby.

Out of curiosity what do you lot think will be the level that we sell out?


Also do you think the club will offer a beam back like we did for them earlier in the season?

 

[Husty]

I dont think the listed priorities will sell it out, but I doubt it'll reach as low as your total.

 

[WildWood]

If the allocation of tickets do fly out the door, which obviously shows a massive demand, do you think it's too late for the club to sort out a live feed of the game to the Amex? The pikeys would have to agree to it after they had the same at their place?
