Self select ticket scheme

Quoted from moosey_club

The way it appears now though is that you are paying MORE per game with this scheme than just getting an early bird match ticket

I take it maths isn't your strong suit?

Quoted from moosey_club

i appreciate that you have have put yourself out there and attempted to get something in place,not knocking that and apologies if any offence caused.  The way it appears now though is that you are paying MORE per game with this scheme than just getting an early bird match ticket each time you can go instead....with the only benefit being queue jumping for tickets for big games.
And that queue jumping also now dents one of the original perceived benefits of being a trust member, which once upon a time was supposed to give you priority on tickets once season ticket holders have had a nibble. I notice now that the ticket heirachy is ;

STH
SSTS
Stub holders
Trust
General sale

Pretty ironic that the trust have helped negotiate something that pushes its own members down the pecking order !!!

Surely the proof of the pudding will be in the eating? If the intended target audience see merits in it then it will be at least a partial success. If not then feedback will inform the next steps. For our part I think we (The Trust) need to help advertise far and wide including to firms locally with large shift worker workforces. As I said earlier it might not be the complete deal but I for one am prepared to give it a chance. to work.

That’s not the case though, is it?

Over the 13 matches...

Plus if you’re buying online (as most exiles do), you remove the exile tax of 50p per ticket that you need to pay.

But still, it’s clear people won’t be happy until the whole thing’s been ground down to dust. Thanks for your input, you’re right, it is a shite idea, a total waste of time and won’t be of any benefit to anyone. Glad that you’re not knocking it though...

I don’t see it like that. The whole point of the Trust was to give supporters a say in how the club is run. Not for any individual personal gain. Yeah it’s nice to have 2nd or 3rd dibs for tickets but slipping down the pecking order is not a blow. It might act as encouragement to buy one of these SSTs for any non-ST holder exile (like me).

The fact that the Trust has been able to negotiate this is a benefit to supporters in the short term and supporters say in the way the club is run in the long term.

i'll have you know i got a CSE in maths from the highly acclaimed Lindsey School ..so not too shoddy ta   .... i was however guilty of lazy research , the figure i based on was a.n others previously posted figure...so should have done my own checking.

Everything i have said previously on the subject is therefore total poppycock and the scheme is actually fantastic, a great innovative move by the club who have moved very quickly to recognise the area's demographic and put something in place in a timely way and i am sure will be welcomed by all and sales will reflect such.  Hoorah.

No offence at all moosey it`s just hard to explain to people that the things they would like incorporated have already been asked for but clearly nobody wants GTFC to lose any STH as a result especially GTFC so a compromise has been arrived at. This is clearly always going to be stacked in the football clubs favour and so it should be BUT the key is it offers supporters an alternative and fills a void and it opens up a channel that can be worked on.Your point about Trust members being pushed further down it`s  £15 a year to be a Trust member so those buying a ticket package will go above them having bought multiple tickets seems fair enough surely? With 3k STH the chances of a trust member getting a ticket for a big game would be pretty slim in any case at least here you would be guaranteed a seat to ANY home game.

Thanks KM at least someone understands the principal of what were trying to do and why.

I think it's a brilliant idea. Both me and my brother are considering getting one - living in Leeds we have not been able to commit to a full season ticket with travel costs etc.
