Thought there would have been more of a response on here from all those demanding such a scheme.

May need more tweaks moving forward but it is a start so well done to Trust/ GTFC

That's a great move. Priority away tickets for regular supporters makes total sense, but a season ticket is not suitable for everyone.

Not much of a saving is there? For another £88, you could have got a ticket for the entire season. A full season ticket works out at under £15 a match for the Upper. These work out to about £19.30 per match. Can't see much incentive myself. May as well just buy as you want them.

The cost of under £15 per match is correct assuming you can attend every game. The point of this new scheme is to help, albeit slightly, those that cannot make every game

It's a start, a good start, I suppose they'll see what the take up is and then adjust in the future.

The anus in me wants to say that it was only this time last year that The Trust were saying there would be some news on this in a week, 12 months later....

That's really good news. Better late than never.

Looks nicely judged as a package that will not 'cannibalise' season ticket sales, but enough of an incentive to encourage 'upgrades' from match-by-match tickets.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

I just hope the fans who have been asking for this now put their money where their mouths are and make this worth while for the club as well.

Good to see this finally introduced.

What needs to happen now is the club, and Trust, need to hammer this across to the people who will benefit. No point doing it and hoping people will come, it’s not the field of dreams - get into the big employers, poster in every canteen, flyers in every office, get an email sent out and get selling.
