4 tickets per season ticket holder is ridiculous.    I say this as a season ticket holder too.

Quoted from Hagrid


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


Because it's not fair on those that turn up each week and can't afford to pay for a season ticket in one go.

Pleased that you can sit with your family and the next comment clearly does not apply to you/them but why should a "big game hunter" (or three) who possibly goes a few times a year and on Boxing Day benefit from one of his mates having a season ticket ahead of someone who goes each week but did not have the cash to shell out in one go.

No mention of stubs from away games between now and then? Are these fans not loyal?

Not an exile but very harsh to them, especially having a day to get a ticket also.

To be honest, the whole set-up seems very draconian for such a big allocation. It's clear that the ticket office cannot cope. The ticketing system and staffing levels doesn't seem to have changed in 20 years.

I just wonder who actually makes the rules? Spoke to Steve a couple of times over the years and got the impression that the strange ideas that we have seen where not his,

I highly doubt all STHs will use all four of their individual allocation so why not start a thread for anyone who either has the ability to get people tickets or those that need them?

It is a crazy decision from the club though - especially after Mansfield and the loyal fans missing out because people thought getting groundhopping oddballs tickets was a better idea...

Quoted from Cloudy
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


For what it's worth Cloudy, due to recent life events, there isn't a cat in hell's chance of me getting to the Donny game. I only posted thinking of others whose lives are not as easy or straightforward as some. I just thought there were certain inequities in there that the club could improve upon to make things easier for everyone, so as many Town fans that want to get to the game can do without a last minute scramble for tickets or travel arrangements, or tenterhooks waiting to see if we get more tickets.

Does anybody know what a hypothetical maximum allocation would be? The sorts they would give to clubs like Leeds and Sheff Wednesday when they were in the Championship. Not saying we'd need it but knowing it could certainly help alleviate some worries. The North Stand holds 3,400 but I don't know if they ever give any of the West/East that are closest to it.

This is practically the only benefit of having a season ticket. Such a faff if it's one for one.

Did you work in the clubs PR department when season tickets were on sale?
