I'm a season ticket holder as well and I don't attend away games anymore ( could be tempted to go to Donny though ), seems a little unfair though on non STH that we can get 4 tickets before them, although in this instance it sounds like it won't be an issue.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

So exiles should be able to get first dibs on away tickets for Donny away (therefore filling their coffers) because they've spent money filling every other clubs coffers all season but not Town's? Have I got that right?

Quoted from Cloudy

The point many seem to be making regarding the pecking order for tickets should not come as any surprise, the process is clearly set out in the clubs 'customer charter' and has been the case for some time. It has certainly been the order for the last 4 or 5 years whenever away tickets have been potentially an issue ( I don't actually think they are for Donny)

It may not help exiles much, I accept, but from the clubs point of view they are helping the people who buy season tickets and then who buy home tickets. As harsh as it may seem to some surely that is sound business sense?

The way forward is for some sort of loyalty scheme whereby if you are a Trust member, buy merchandise and/or tickets then you get points for each transaction. I suspect that is someway off because of the cost of Implementing and then administrating such a scheme?


If tickets aren't limited and we can effectively have as many as we can sell,then how is it sound business sense to carve the whole thing up and attach different importance and privilege to groups of supporters ? If we had a demand that outstripped supply then we'd need some sort of scheme, but what is the point of this Donny shambles?

I'm not a ST holder because I play on a Saturday. I get to as many home/away games as possible. Home games are around a 100mild round trip. I really want to go to the Donny game.. if any ST holder feels like sharing early Xmas spirit I would be grateful for some help to secure a ticket... money can be transferred etc.

The idea of a loyalty scheme was mooted yonks ago (maybe even on the old Electronic Fishcake). Not the difficult to do and not expensive to administer either.

Loyalty scheme would be really easy to implement, and works for clubs like Man Utd who sell out every away game, it would be foolish not to look into it. Give season ticket holders points right off the bat, and trust members a smaller number, then add extra on for each away game attended.

Would be better awarding points for spending money with GTFC.
