It means you're a better fan than everyone else of course, and now it's official

Woohoo! Do I get a crown?

Priority 4 [emoji20]

 

[Uh_huh_him]

There doesn't seem to be any real explanation as to how the priority was arrived at? On the website it states that it will be in proportion to the number sold re season tickets, 1901 and general admission. I thought when they were first suggested the ballot it would be all season ticket holders in together whereas now it seems some have got preferential treatment without clarifying why!

Next question is whether they change your priority for each ballot for subsequent games?

My assumption is that there are 2000ish seats drawn and they are all priority 1.
Then the rest are split between the remaining 3 priority ratings.

Pretty sure they said that you would have the same chance each draw ( although i think that's a bad move tbh)

Priority 2. Will definitely try to get tickets. I've had it once, unlikely to get it again...

EDIT.
Realised that they have already run the ballot so hopefully will get a different priority in the next ballot. Can't see level 3 getting a ticket this time.

When they say "general admission" I take that to mean non-1901 STH's

Early indication on the polls indicate a 1-2-2-2 split 2k + 4k + 4k + 4k = 14k maybe there are some fans not given a priority at all? will be interesting how the poll plays out.

Do you never stop whingeing? First the Quizzes, now the time of a real football match that you actually have a Gold Ticket for in the ballot.

No - you should know that by now!

(It wasn't actually a whinge - the question was whether you'd be taking your ticket up. It is actually tricky for me, but I'll be there).

I’m in priority group 2

That's my only gripe with this process to be honest. The club were never ever going to produce a system that would 100% please everyone, but I think that to give more fans a chance of getting to at least one match, anyone drawn in priority 1 should be precluded from being in drawn in priority 1 for the next draw.

Totally agree - and was actually going to post this yesterday. However, now I have just been drawn in priority 1.............

Seriously, though - you're right.

Yeah totally agree with that.

although if I get in Priority 1 next game, I'm unlikely to do the honourable thing...

 

[LamieRobertson]

Number two...poo!

The thing is, you could do the honourable thing and not get another chance this season.

Agreed...not quite sure why they haven't, possibly just too 'difficult' from a systems perspective perhaps.

There's already 2 Priority 1s in the poll not going - we'll take those.

 

[Gwylan]

I'm Window 4 so I'm not going to bother. I'm hoping for Arsenal at Christmas

 

[swindonseagull]

Tier 4 but have no intentions of going at the moment.
