Istanbul travel and ticket information

[Max Villan]

Out of 6 season ticket holders in our group none were successful. My mate who is a member and does go to pretty much every game did get one. I could feel put out but that wold be churlish so I’m just pleased for him and his grandson.

Did you apply as a group or all individually? No reason, just curious if that affected the ballot draw (doubt it did TBF )

I'd highly recommend travelling even without a ticket. You'll have a fair chance of bagging one out there.

A mixture, some as a group others as individuals.

We did a group of 5 with no luck.

1 of my group has been to every game and mostly didn't have a ticket before they go there.

I agree it cannot be correct that a person gets a ticket because they are a member and have attended the 7 Europa games - STH should get priority

IF I renew next season it will be my 39th consecutive season as a STH - I did manage through the ballot to get a final ticket - the ballot should have only been open to STH in my opinion

Maybe we need to ask the club why members were included?

I intend too

Tried this last year regarding the Crystal Palace semi-final and got a pretty standard response saying  that members are fans too, they spend more than ST holders, and deserve it as much as ST holders do. (Which does have some merit Tbf)

Last years the idea of members having parity with some ST holders depending on cup tie attendance came straight out of the blue, and they weren’t budging, so no chance this year when they’ll say ST holders had fair warning what might happen if they didn’t go to all the cup matches.
