I also got tickets for this game too.

Really chuffed with that, obviously.

Have to say the club is in a difficult position with the ticket situation but....

On Fri night its one of the biggest games of the season and there will be dozens of Gold Members sat at home unable to attend despite paying for season ticket money for 15 months knowing they wouldnt be able to go to games, despite donating money to the club, despite paying extra for gold membership and at all the while 3 game flexi members will be sat in the stands. The club asked for and received loyalty last year from the vast majority of fans but have given zero back.

I have a ticket for Fri but i find the clubs policy of allowing flexi members in ahead of gold members disgraceful, shameful and disgusting actually. There are people i know who cant attend at this stage and a reletive of mine who goes to 3 games a year is allowed in. Im sorry but its wrong.

The club need a total rethink if the crowd is limited. The club have taken a lot of money off people these last 15/16 months and those people should be the priority not flexi members who can attend games later in the season when hopefully crowds are back fully.

The club get a lot of things right but have got this badly wrong.

Rant over.......

The club said all ST holders and Flexi members will get a ticket for one of these games.

I don't see the issue?

I also saw two Rhinos Twitter accounts complaining because they didn't get tickets to both games too. So what. You didn't get tickets. You knew the rules. Get over it.

No way flexi members should have been included though. First choice for these games should have gone to those who donated their ST money to the club last year. That would have been the ideal outcome. And one the club missed big time.

Thats my point entirely and I agree 100%. Leeds is a club that does the right thing time and again but theyve got this badly wrong. No way 3 games flexi holders should be going to games that season ticket holders cant.

I agree the club shouldn’t have even sold flexi memberships, but it’s easy to say in hindsight, the club didn’t know what restrictions would be in place throughout the season when they went on sale.

However if priority was given to season ticket holders who donated money to the club last year over season ticket holders who didn’t donate money last year, that would be very wrong. In fact it wouldn’t have been a donation at all, it would have been buying a higher priority season ticket. Some people may not have been able to afford to donate to the club last year, if they’ve then bought a season ticket this year they shouldn’t miss out more than their fair share. Similarly you could argue adults pay a lot more than kids for tickets and should have a higher priority on restricted games, I wouldn’t agree.

The club can’t win really, however they do it some people won’t like it.

Re: RD 9 | St Helens (H) : Sun Jun 06, 2021 3:04 pm  

I agree, it's a tough predicament.

But they should have offered all those who donated their money the tickets first, then offer whatever was left to new season ticket holders or those who took the refund.

I just see can't see an argument against saying that wasn't the correct thing to do.

Re: RD 9 | St Helens (H) : Sun Jun 06, 2021 3:19 pm  

The club is in a difficult position. Ive no issue with any season ticket getting the tickets, donation or refund but ive an issue with season ticket holders not getting in when 3 game flexis getting in instead when season ticket holders have paid for so long when they knew they couldnt go to games.

Its not fair.

Re: RD 9 | St Helens (H) : Tue Jun 08, 2021 11:21 am  

Is there a possibility this game is called off? hearing that 2 SL games this weekend are close to being postponed due to Covid - One is Hudds V Wigan but not sure of the other
