I'm a bit worried about getting a family stand ticket to be honest

I take my litter home at the end of every match - does that put me in priority group 2?
 


I am not in any of the Priorty groups do people think I will miss out on getting an Amex season ticket? :tantrum:

We can't even sell out 8,000 tickets at Withdean - so don't worry!
And as for all those supposed thousands that will buy season tickets at Falmer but won't attend a game at Withdean - I don't believe that there are that many of them out there. Let's see the colour of their money!!

No problem at all in getting a season ticket mate.

I'm not in any of the priority categories and I'm not worrying. There will be loads of people who haven't been a ST holder before at Withdean who want one at Amex (I know atleast 2).

Yeah, this is my concern too. I'm not worried about getting my own ST but I was hoping to get one for my boy and I fear that I may be disappointed.

I'm a bit miffed that having been a season ticket holder for 11 of the last 13 seasons I don't fit in any sort of priority but I'm not going to start whingeing about it - c'est la vie. I'll live with going on my own for a few more seasons.

I am in similar situation , but to be fair the club have ALWAYS said, that to guarantee priority get one for this season, I just thought maybe there would be some kind of priority of former withdean STH'ers

This is f***ing stupid. There are 4,000 people with priority, there are 15,000+ season tickets to sell. Why can't some people do the maths?

Let me see, 4000 people with priority, who can each buy for themselves and 3 friends.
4000 x 4 = 16000 :thumbsup:



Not saying there is going to be a problem but thats the maths, surely.

There is absolutely no way that is going to happen. Most people do not have three friends in the background who are going to show a sudden interest in football to the extent they want to commit to 23 matches. We'd be doing amazingly well to get each STH to, on average, introduce one new person, and even if we did that's only 8,000 sold. I just can't see any situation where, when they go on general sale, people won't have thousands of seats to choose from.

Drama over nothing.

There are PLENTY to go round.

This. However, given the pricing and the fact that you can spread the payments over 12 months (a brilliant move by the club) means that a season ticket becomes a lot more affordable. I've got a feeling that, after the category people and then the general sale have got stuck in, we'll have shifted 12,000 - 15,000. I could be wrong though (it has been known).

That only leaves 14,998 who don't have one who *might* get ahead of you in the queue. I'm surprised you can sleep at night with all the worry.

Or does that need to have included last season?
