semtex1871 How many tickets can you buy per STH.

FYI, as a hospitality STH, I can purchase as many tickets as I need before they go on sale to anybody 8)


In that case, may I respectfully request that you obtain one for my good self? ;)

RoyallyFcuked What are the chances of the tickets getting to member card holders with 1000 points? If not I should be able get a mate who has a season ticket to get mine for me.

Anyway, I don't think the new system is fair at all. Basically at the moment someone who has a season ticket this year for the first time has priority over someone who for example, had a season ticket for 10 years but doesn't have one this year?

Yeah good one RFC

So basically older fans should be rewarded over younger ones?

Surely the reverse should be true if anything, like it or not Royallyers they're the future and the likes of you and me are yesterday's news.

In all seriousness....if peeps are struggling to get tickets I'm sure I could act as an intermediary.....

SPARTA STH's should always get first dibs on away and cup tickets, but the point system for away games is unnecessary until it's a play-off etc. Even last season we went to general sale for Bournemouth away. There's rarely a scramble for away tickets. Just let fans book them on a first come, first served basis!

Like they used to, resulting in jammed phone lines and a website that constantly crashed & many hundreds of posts/pages on here complaining about the ineptitude of the ticket office

Won't be going to Brentford as it just won't be even 0.0001% as good as 20th April 2002, before half the plastics on here were even aware this town had a Football Club - OUT

Green I don't see why a lapsed season ticket holder should be given priority over a current one.


:roll: so why should an older STH be given priority over a younger one?

bobby1413 Darn it ...

Gf has under 1000 points on her ST.

the day she is eligible we are in NYC! Will have to make an expensive call or go online if it works


Go online, you can't call the club to book tickets as international calls can't be put through into the telephone system!


It will be 4am in NYC when the ticket office opens. I don't fancy getting up at that time to book tickets to Brentford!

I sleep though ... well sometimes anyway.

I'll pull an all nighter, then book the tickets whilst out there.

I think you should go BF and shouldn't compare it to previous years.

Is that even a thing? Hospitality STHs and all their mates get priority over everyone else regardless of royalty points?

When demand outstrips supply there's always someone going to be left disappointed, Isaac. The way you're carrying on I hope you're one of them :P

Perhaps that explains the whole ownership fiasco - there was Anton, on the phone with his credit card wanting to pay the outstanding balance and they couldn't put him through!

:lol:

That's true, maybe we've all just been quite unfair on him and he's stuck out in Russia somewhere desperately tweeting the club but with no reply.

Will there be so much demand for tickets when terracing eventually sells out?

Ha, don't worry about me, old chap, i'll be there via a Brentford ticket if i can't get one in the away end, but as i've said in an earlier post, i've always been able to benefit as a STH with a lot of points in the past. Doesn't stop me thinking that the system needs looking at though. Given the amount of years it has been running there are a lot of "loyal" supporters that miss out.

Once work and home issues have settled down, i'm sure i'll have my ST again next year, so will be able to take the same stance as you on this :wink:

Feck... totally forgot about the terracing issue.

If anyone has a good points total and STH that doesn't intend to go, could I use your ticket to buy GF one...

Don't be ridiculous. STH's who have coughed up the cash this season quite rightly have priority, just like you would have done when you had one.

The amount of self entitlement is quite staggering.

Agreed, I'm going to go to the Mad Stad instead and watch it on the game on the lorry tele.

Honestly I'd love to but I think I'm stapling my bollocks to my thigh instead that day. Shame.
