I haven't a clue how many loyalty points I've got, but imagine it won't be many as due to the rigmarole of getting tickets/parking for home games I attend more away games than home. I really can't be doing with all the hassle of getting a ticket especially when the club are handing them out like sweets to season ticket holders. I think this initiative will lose the club more fans than it gains to be honest. You mean it will lose us fans who don’t come to games ?

For the first season in 10 years, I have not bought a season ticket this season. I, along with my wife, have been to every home match this season including various cup matches covering every cup competition we have been in. I hope to get two tickets on my loyalty points record, hopefully. If not STFC can kiss my hairy arse goodbye, because I will not be going to support them again, ever. How old are you!? Toys out the pram much? Childish ****er That's out of order mate, this guy has followed the town up and down the country for decades, that's fact as I've had the pleasure of his company for many of those trips. Your on me s**t list!

Probably far older than you, s**t for brains. Presume you are a STH , happy with your hand full of tickets. . just wondering if you are still running the award you were dishing out back in 2016 ? blueandamber.proboards.com/thread/94014/buying-new-shirtearly contender, yourself ? don't thank me ;-
I agree the level of personal abuse and aggression on the forum has increased. There is no call for it at all. Please treat all posters with respect.
So pack it in ya stupid t**ts.

You know there are some fans who don’t have season tickets yet still go to games don’t you? Look around you, there’s about 2,500 of them at every home match.

Excellent tweet from the club this morning. Loads of tickets left with 80% take up from season ticket holders and an average 1.62 tickets pre season ticket holder taken. Every other season we get the same s**t on here concerning tickets. Everyone knows the score, if you don't get a season ticket or collect points it's your own fault.

I think this initiative will lose the club more fans than it gains to be honest. You can get loyalty points for away games (double rate) and at discounted advanced ticket rate if you buy them through your account, before the cutoff sales point the previous day. Online is pretty instant for straightforward sales now and you normally collect your ticket at the same away ticket office you would be buying at anyway.

You mean season ticket holders haven't been buying 4 each, selling them to Wolves fans and there's hardly any left now??

No I mean it will lose us fans that attend presently but will no longer attend if they don't get the ticket they deserve.

You provide the balance to the well informed, sensible viewpoint of many. In fact I think of you as the TRUMP of this messageboard. Anyway, you keep on denying your allegiance to Man Utd, and I will keep on reminding you that you so are a Red, and equilibrium will be observed. But me, abusive, me. If if I ever meet you, I will buy you that pint I owe you from years back. Now **** off.

If people have been attending games, they will get a ticket. We have thousands of empty seats most weeks. Any initiative that helps us fill them occasionally has to be a good thing

Look around you, there’s about 2,500 of them at every home match. All of whom will be able to get a ticket if they want one. Every time we have a good Cup draw it's the same story. Has anyone who " deserved" a ticket been unable to get one in the past? I've certainly missed that thread if there's been one.

I've certainly missed that thread if there's been one. yes Chelsea the cock up was town emailing ticketing details (which I subscribe to) and then totally changing them but not emailing the changes ( they put them out on the web and twitter instead) ok I got a last minute private sale but its amazing how we can make a totally different mess up every time

How old are you!? Toys out the pram much? Childish ****er hes right though . Shrewsbury town have ****ed up , massively . Easy to criticise when you have your tickets . Like Brian says “hopefully fans can see what we’re trying to do “ . No not really Brian , you liar . As I said, I’m not going, so don’t have tickets He’s been childish and thrown his toys out the pram, when he’s guaranteed a ticket anyway if he goes down Monday morning Everyone who really wants a ticket, and makes the effort will get one For what it’s worth, if Nuno plays a strong 11 (and he has no reason not to), we will more then likely lose heavily anyway

I'm not sure Roland/Brian can be held accountable for that How about Man Utd? Chelsea? West Ham? Games not over 20 years ago.

Thanks for the info, I always just pay on the day so can't claim any points.

True, our ticketing policy is far from perfect but has come a long way since 'come to a home game and get yourself a voucher for Liverpool'. I'd loved B&A to have been around for that

I'd loved B&A to have been around for that The voucher scheme thing was a bit of a farce but we did get 6500 for the Swansea game instead of the usual 3000 at the time. I was one of the first in the ground that day, I must have started waiting at the gates by 1230. It was all such a let down in the end!!

Do what I've done. Get as many as you possibly can then flog them to Dingle fans at over inflated prices .selling like hot cakes! Win win situation. Hello. Is that a wise thing to be saying when it is well known that law enforcement such as myself frequent these pages? Please can you drop me a PM with your address and telephone number so I can follow this up. Thanks.

And is not renewing again after this season (been a st holder for 15 years ) .

And is not renewing again after this season (been a st holder for 15 years ) . its likely to be cold next saturday afternoon as a season ticket holder who wanted an extra ticket , which was not avalible , why should you have to queue in the cold ? Part of having a season ticket is to make it easy to get tickets for games such as these . The ticketing system is such a disaster I’m really shocked of how many fans we actually get !!

Can I just check something. You previously weren't happy that season ticket holders were getting more than one ticket, you are now unhappy that it's too difficult for season ticket holders to obtain their extra tickets?

The certain ST holder I am referring to sits with other ST holder’s, 5 in a row . So have to make a trip down to the stadium to sort games like this . Can you imagine trying to sort things like this online? Go on the site , still advertising Charlton tickets!!! Just to clear something up , has anyone ever tried to link some accounts online ? It’s not ****ing possible Let’s just clear something up - I think it should be 1 ticket per client ref number . As it is it’s not , so you can get extra , but not online ? What’s the ****ijg point in doing something like this if you can’t do it online ?

I see 80% of sth have bought tickets for this match at a rate of 1.6 tickets put sth.
That means it works out to every other sth buying one extra ticket.
I bought an extra one for a friend that had been to many town games this season but doesn't want to deal with the rush of getting one sunday/Monday.
I assume most have done the same.
As for the kids ticket BC stated their have been 300 kids tickets sold out of 4500 of which many were already in the Salop kids club.
Everyone needs to calm down. The amount of tickets making there way to non town fans will be minimal.
Why would a sth risk there ST by having a wolves fan sit in a seat that is associated with them?
