BOWTUN BAKED Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I'll probably get an away season ticket this year, but for those that don't, I hope the club are proactive & set up an away match ticket point system before the start of the season. There'll be a clamour for certain fixtures with low allocations & those we've not visited before or not for a long time, not to mention if we are pushing for the top spots. They'll be the usual suspects looking for tickets, that rarely or never attend, would be good to see the club set their stall out early, which in turn might drive extra season/half season ticket sales & make folk commit to the new revolution.

bolton va va Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Salford & Barrow will be a problem but i'd expect ST holders to be alright everywhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marple whites Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Did we have them last season ? in fairness, over the last 10 years never really been a problem with always from what I can remember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radcliffe white Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 There are some generous allocations In league 2 tbf but if we take off I do see a scramble for some. Think in league one 16/17 we had 12 away sell outs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted July 3, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted July 3, 2020 The majority of lads who post on here are reasonably well clued up so will get tickets for most/all they want to go too. The early games though if there’s a small allocation need to be season ticket holders with 3 away games on last years ticket. Needs to be a ‘caps’ based system moving forward though. The more away days you’ve got against your season ticket, the higher the priority. Might not be fair on them who do away games but not home but if you’re putting money into the club, you should get priority Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Faustus Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 same boat; also contemplated a salford st too on direct debit as a back up. i could hand it out rest of the year. but then i had a word with myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyther_Matt Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Salford will be the trickiest one no matter what. Barrow will be fine if it is midweek, and even on a Saturday they might give us the full end behind the goal which, including the bit going around the corner to the seats (plus a few of the seats) might come to more than we first think - at least enough for a couple of days on sale to season ticket holders. Macclesfield and Morecambe will give us as many as they can fit in. Oldham and Port Vale will be anything up to 4,000 so no issue. Harrogate would be a nightmare, but are the only ones that would be an issue out of all of the play-off candidates. Must admit that, since Burton under Parky where you got priority with x number of previous away games, I have generally tried to buy online and assign the other tickets to those who are coming with me so that we have points built up from previous seasons, just in case.

Fleetwood a couple of years ago was the only game that caused an issue, L2 though, some games, i would say 4 or 5 are going to be tricky. Lets hope Salford is around March, that way the club can sort out the hard core away lads, say at least 8 ticket (example) stubb/aquesitions. The prem days system worked (early years) which was like that averaged out at 3/4 stubs then going down etc 6 hours ago, BOWTUN BAKED said: Yes they do, which you could argue is fine.

marple whites Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Just looked at league 2 table, should get decent allocations at most places. given the Covid circumstances, I would think most will give us as many as we want anyway as they need the cash!

Duck Egg Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Has the club ever sold away season tickets? If so, how much do they usually cost? I can only remember ever missing out on City away in 1997 so never felt the need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One per ticket There are not that many that travel on a regular basis Girls in the corporate look after the few regulars If anyone thinks that if 100 people in the platinum suite for example all decided one week they wanted to go to Barrow - it would not happen . Unless other fans requirements had been met first. Where they are useful is late on, when for example players return tickets for sell out games , is in helping get those tickets into the hands of genuine fans who have missed out - I have asked on many occasions , phone call on a friday , for lads i know who have missed out and sometimes, not always , at the eleventh hour it works.

It was how I ended up sitting in amongst the home fans at Swindon in League Cup. Corporate guy said he’d sort me out and didn’t. He then managed to get two of the 200 extras they sent up.

Johnnyrotten Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Not to put a downer on this thread, but does anyone seriously think these small away grounds in League 2 will allow away fans, pre-vaccine? (in any numbers, maybe a token 200 or so). OK there might be some leeway in 2021 but away season tickets out of the question for me in 2020, lots of clubs will need to use all 4 sides for home fans, assuming reduced capacities. The one exception is us, we could still have away fans in a corner of WSU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You pay a one off admin charge at the start of the season (£25ish), provide your payment details and your card is automatically charged the day before away tickets go on sale to season ticket holders and ticket posted to you.
