On buying our claret memberships was told the packs would be delivered in 4 weeks but still nothing arrived, anyone else ?Also quite a few clubs have tickets on sale for first home and away games and we haven’t for either..... any ideas what is going on ?
“The club can now confirm plans for our away ticket sales for the upcoming 2019/20 season.“After consulting extensively with supporters – and also following a benchmarking process with other clubs – we’ve made some changes.“Under new procedures, in order to be fair, transparent and reward loyalty, away ticket criteria will be based on attendance at previous away games from the 2018/19 season as we also withdraw our away season ticket scheme.“The new sales criteria will start at season ticket holders who attended 18+ away games last season all the way through to general sale, with 15+, 12+, 9+, Season Ticket Holders and Claret/Cub members in between.“The first game of the season – away at Tottenham Hotspur – will go on sale next Thursday from 5pm online, subject to allocation and pricing being confirmed in the coming days by the host club.“We appreciate that while this new policy rewards loyalty, it means that it also potentially makes it difficult for a lot of eager fans to attend big Premier League matches on the road.“Therefore, 25 pairs of away tickets for each top-flight game will be made available on Pride Rewards for supporters via a Prize Draw, starting with the clash against Mauricio Pochettino’s Spurs. Winners of the Prize Draw will then have the opportunity to purchase a pair of tickets.“We understand that some fans will be disappointed there is no away season ticket scheme for this season but we believe this to be the fairest way to allocate away tickets to supporters who wish to follow us on the road.”
No away season ticket this year. But those with most games last season get to buy first.I think this has to be the most reasonable solution. Will still be difficult for younger fans to build an away history though.
Love the asumption that people in the away schem used to buy tickets and sell them on and non away scheme members never did that in order to retain a high away ticket status.
