What a convoluted and ill thought out process for such a large allocation..

From the OS

Ticket allocation

Tickets will go on priority sale to season ticket holders from Monday 28th November. Season ticket holders can purchase 4 tickets per season ticket held. Please note that season ticket books MUST be presented when purchasing/collecting. Tickets will not be issued to those who do not bring the season ticket books when purchasing or collecting tickets

Following this, those in possession of a Carlisle United stub from Tuesday 22nd November, can purchase tickets from Monday 5th December, subject to availability. Please note that stub holders can purchase two tickets per stub held. Those wishing to use a Carlisle United stub must present it when purchasing/collecting.

Mariners Trust members and those in possession of a Portsmouth ticket can then purchase Doncaster Rovers tickets from Thursday 8th December, subject to availability. Trust members and Portsmouth ticket holders can purchase two tickets per membership/ticket. Any remaining tickets will go on general sale from Monday 12th December.

Postage options are available at £1 for standard 1st class (un-tracked), £2 recorded or £6.75 guaranteed next day delivery. There will be no postals after 3pm on Tuesday 13th December.



So our 3000 season ticket holders can buy four each. Say the first 750 take this up, then season ticket holders miss out.

So season ticket holders etc have two weeks to purchase their tickets. Non-season ticket holding exiles have a day and a half to order theirs.

Agree with priority to season ticket holders, Trust members and stub holders, but seems a bit skewed too far in their favour for this one. With general sale starting very late, it leaves little leeway for asking for more tickets. A game like this could attract the floating fan too and if impressed with the team and atmosphere could be swayed to becoming more of a regular attender.

The club don't half make it difficult sometimes when it doesn't need to be.

PS Not everyone can afford season tickets, or even go as regular as they like due to finances or distance. It doesn't make them any less of a fan of GTFC.

Season ticket holders deserve priority, it may seem harsh to long distance mariners, but its the way it is so just get on with it? 3000 tickets im sure if we sell out we will get more, no need to panic

Agree but do STH (I am one BTW) deserve 4 tickets for every season ticket held?

Really don't see the problem. The allocation is more than enough and  those that want them will get them.
By allowing 4 per STH just makes it easier to distribute them and keeps serving times down.
The days before Mansfield Facebook & Twitter was full of people with spare tickets

Some just like to moan

why not? means i can sit with all my friends and family now which for me is a bonus, only me and my old man are St holders, have a brother with a disability, we normally have to wait for our tickets as ususally 1 on 1 basis isnt it, but this occasion can get all 3 together and some for friends, good decision by the club
