Appreciate there are lots of different scenarios but think it is better for people who go to more games get a ticket than someone who hasn't been since we played Liverpool at home. The only thing with the system I would like to see changed is if we have an away game I think ticket sales should be on number of loyalty points, not season ticket holders first then loyalty points. I have had situations where a season ticket holder who hasn't been to an away game all season can buy a ticket but I can't despite having more points. This happened away at Wimbledon one season. When we could no longer win the League suddenly I could get a ticket as season ticket holder with less points had sent their ticket back. Don't necessarily disagree but the reality is the club will always reward season ticket holders first as they are the ones supporting the club financially in terms of up front commitment. I rarely go away so to someone who travels across the country to support the club, I can understand the frustration if I can get a ticket but they can't. Personally I would have no objection if the club did what you'd suggest, sady we have some STH's who would and the club don't want to rock the boat.I suspect that the club have tried to find a middle ground with 1 per STH, although personally I think it should be 2 But anyway, I suspect the conversation is irrelevant as anyone who wants a ticket will get a ticket,well home fans anyway. Although I do think the club should go a bit retro and give out a voucher at Saturday's game which would then guarantee them a ticket for the Wrexham game. For any younger fans on here, that is what we did for the game against Liverpool in the mid 90s and I think we had a home game with a crowd of 6,000 when we we normally getting around 3,000. I'd like to see it, just to see B&A, Facebook & Twitter explode!

No complaints from me in terms of how the ticketing works now. One ticket per supporter fills the ground with genuine Town fans. And £24 is too expensive for third tier football, but I think our prices are actually pretty reasonable compared with some other clubs in the division. And I see no reason to drop prices for this one. That would be a bizarre move. this isn't third tier football, its fa cup 3rd round how would you feel if we drew someone like Sheffield united and charged premier prices ?

I wonder how, if there are tickets to go on general sale, the club will be able to prevent Wrexham fans buying home end tickets?

Yeah I have to wait to purchase my 7yo a ticket. Can't have him sitting anywhere in the stadium can we! 🤣 this is why we have loyalty points, I mean where does your loyalty lie when it comes to your son ? what will you do if you can only get one ticket ? are you willing to wait and hope to get 2 tickets together dilemma

I think we have about 3200 season ticket holders so that leaves about 600 tickets for loyalty points holders. With vouchers for Liverpool game they issued more vouchers than tickets available. I went to Swansea game but couldn't get a Liverpool ticket until Scooter helped out.

Hopefully they will ensure anybody trying to buy in General Sale has a previous purchase history as they’ve done in the past 🤔 Restrictions already in place. Mate of mine from Essex is doing the 92. He is looking to go to Burton away with me but he can't buy a ticket as he hasn't purchased a home ticket already for this season or last season.

It was the following season that they reintroduced terrace season tickets, because people kicked up such a fuss about missing out because some came in early, got their voucher and left without even watching the game. I think I w rote to Mal Starkey 😮

I think I w rote to Mal Starkey 😮 I never want to see another voucher… all the way back to the scrum to get into the ground for the Tow Law replay (Arsenal ticket), the Liverpool voucher for which I had to skive off / arrive late at a commitment I had, London to Cardiff via Shrewsbury. I couldn’t wait to buy a season ticket when they were introduced on the riverside the following season - that and loyalty points have transformed ticket buying for ‘in demand’ games. Every season potentially has one. The end of season Wimbledon game, which could have been crucial, was I think before loyalty points, as I remember searching out all my away tickets and taking them up to the ground, when they were trying to sort it out, it felt that desperate. Like it or not, the ticket buying system now means the club can have good information on who goes to what

I think its a great and fair system, 10 points will no doubt ensure everyone with 10 points who wants a ticket gets one , I guess 9 points or less could have meant there wasnt enough tickets to satisfy everyone if necessary , so they will get to sweat for a few days and hope they get a chance when you think back to some of the ideas we've had in the past this route is the clear winner Don't think they will be sweating too much. When we play big Clubs the last 200 or so tickers have gone to general sale to people with zero points. Can't see playing a lower league side selling out I think we will get close to selling out, but the last few hundred tickets will go to pretty much anyone who hasnt got much history of going to recent games. Think anyone who wants to will be able to get tickets near the end of sale. Wrexham are not a huge pull for the big game fans such as Liverpool or Man United are.

As I understand it, Jayne B on social media confirmed that supporters who had registered to get a supporter number BEFORE the draw was made will be eligible when they get to general sale. This is to prevent Wrexham fans trying to get in the home end.
I have mates who want to come who pushed would say they support Shrewsbury but understand this is a tasty fixture and would look to be there. Under this ruling they couldn’t however, knowing they are not Wrexham fans I’d be inclined to purchase for them.

Some may fancy a day out given the proximity, but it will depend how all the pubs are regards to letting people in. If there is any specific dialogue West Mercia Police release about pubs that will allow Wrexham fans in that weekend, I will happily relay it on Red Passion I am imagining that all pubs South of the Severn won't allow any fans in?

There will be plenty of pubs that show it, but I've got no doubt that the message from the West Mercia and NW Police will be don't travel without tickets and pubs in the town centre will not be allowing Wrexham fans in for the game. They won't want to be policing fans at the game and then people in the pubs in the town during the game. Personally I couldn't see the point of travelling without a ticket anyway. If it were roles reversed and I didn't get a ticket, if I had the choice of watching it on a tv in a pub of choice in Shrewsbury or travelling to Wrexham to be shoved in a s**thole pub (as away fans anywhere normally are) and surrounded by police then I think I'd stick with the former. The latter doesn't really sound much of a day out.
