STHs would get first dibs under the system I suggested. The system would be heavily weighted in the favour of STHs who attend away matches. It would also rank STHs so that the ones who go to away games get first priority and don't miss out to a STH who hasn't been to any or only a few away matches. But it would also allow non-STHs who attend the vast majority of games to jump ahead of STHs who haven't been to an away game.


That doesn't sit comfortably with me, season ticket holders should NEVER have people be able to jump ahead of them in priority queues. A major perk of having a season ticket is knowing you have that priority for the big games.

I know it never got to it so it's immaterial but people who bought 2 adults and 2 kids tickets for £20 when our play off place was a virtual certainty were going to be entitled to 4 tickets at the same time 1878 members who forked out £25 per membership on Thursday morning. That's not right either...


Agree with that. I'm an 1878 member and a Trust member. I paid for my kids to be 1878 members for the ticket priority although it was full price so the 6th free ticket didn't even nearly cover the cost. Seemed really unfair that a cheap ticket to Boreham Wood was considered of equal value.

Yep I paid for 1878 too which was mostly for the priority.

STH should always get priority over everyone else, the club depends on their money AND they stump up up front before the season starts when their is no guarantee of how we will do. That has to be rewarded its common sense and business sense too. I accept that and I'm not a STH.

3 points to sort this...

1. STH get first dibs, always...
2. All high demand one-off game sales to be online only; non IT literate STH can nominate a trusted person to buy for them
3. 1878 members accumulate points credited for each home match ticket bought and then time slots are allocated for online purchases based upon bands of points earned (might need the IT system tweaking). Trust members rank after all 1878 members.

1878 membership seems to be potentially a good system for exiles and others who can't commit to a ST and it just needs tweaking so those that buy more tickets should benefit more from it. Prioritising ticket purchasers from particular games should be scrubbed - all prioritisation should go through 1878 membership.

Whatever regarding the loyalty system, they need to come up with some solution for Wrexham if we get through because that will be chaos if you through in the extra demand (weekend game) and reduced supply.


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause

I think they should issue Wrexham tickets (if we get there) to season ticket holders in alphabetical order!
