Capacity reduced for the development means a £15 membership is needed to secure any tickets that may be left for a home game after season ticket holders are taken in to account. If there are any tickets left they must be purchased prior to the game.

Looks like I'll have to rely on hospitality again.

It will be funny if they will have to become a member first. Presumably they will have to be bought via their team's ticket office (without the fee)?

They have done away with the paper tickets - only access is with the plastic card you have to buy for £15 and then individual games are loaded on to. I had asked if having got a membership you can get a physical ticket for another person but they said no - the +1 would also need to get a card first. Which means my friends from Scotland will not be going this year. Best bet for 'couple times a season' fans is probably doing Magic Weekend half price via a member or season ticket holder, or going to an away game.

Are you sure people won't be able to pay on the gate on the western terrace?

I hooe it is not an ongoing thing that you need a ticket to buy tickets. It really is penny pinching and will put more people off than anything.

I have had a membership ticket like this on seasons were a season ticket was not viable for me, as this years so i will probably buy this membership. That way i get first dips on tickets as a member before general public. i don't think these will be required to just buy tickets in future, but priority also goes to club members first season ticket then these type of membership. if there are any left minus away fand allocation, then they go on general sale. so if you want to be pretty much guaranteed tickets even for 2-3 casual games, you are best to get the membership.

Re: Stadium Redevelopment : Mon Jan 15, 2018 8:44 pm  

On Saturday they said you could only get the membership as an option, so asked for clarification and asked 'so if I have a friend wants to come along who isn't a member can they get a ticket or with my membership can I then order one for them (like with a season ticket) and get a physical ticket? I was told they would need a membership too as the game is loaded on to the card.

Which paints everyone in a corner really; you either don't go at all, or pay the fee to then have the option to go. Of course, it could also be possible they gave a slightly skewed answer to try and get more money.

How big will capacity be this year? It will obviously all depend on that and how many season ticket holders have renewed. If it is say 9000 and 8000 then that is maybe 500 on sale to members (setting some aside for away fans). Will 500 people pay £15 each and even if they have, would they all then get tickets, thus removing the chance of any going on general sale?

I suspect not and they might have been answering a question slightly different to what I asked but I guess we will see in 4-5 weeks.

Re: Stadium Redevelopment : Mon Jan 15, 2018 9:32 pm  

You can still buy tickets without membership, however, you will be last choice. So season members, away fans (think I read 500 tickets?) and supporter memberships get priority.

I don't know my travel dates yet ,but I will them a ring this week and see if I can get a membership card and pick my games later

Membership is great marketing.
