Tony Le Mesmer Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Just looked at away membership and it's just shy of 90 quid! I seem to recall some of you have given me advice before about certain away games but I've forgotten, sorry. Basically as a newbie fan I want to try and get to some away games. I'm not one of these who will put Forest / Burton et al above all others. I'll just as happily go to Bristol City or Brighton and miss the local games. Would I be right in assuming that for the majority of away games, as a ST holder, I don't even need away membership? The main two games that are local-ish and interest me more than Forest etc are both Sheff Weds and Huddersfield due to my Yorkshire connections. Would I be able to get tickets to these two games just as an ordinary ST holder too? I'm all for helping the club out with buying this and that from the club shop, programmes and going to crappy cup games but i'm a Yorkshireman. I don't want to spend money if there isn't really any need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PodgeyRam Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Don't think you'll need it. The away membership is only really a guarentee for those who want to go to Forest away. Pretty much all the other matches end up going on sale to Season Ticket holders anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Le Mesmer Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 Cheers Podgey. I know I could have got a ticket for the Barnsley game which is just up the road and as most grounds in the league are fairly large then the allocation would be similar probably. I just couldn't make Barnsley on the day but good to know I could have got a ticket anyway. Phew! 90 quid just to get first dibs on Burton and Forest tickets then? Madness.

You might have be quick on the draw for some of the more in demand ones / those with smaller allocations, but even then I think those two matches are the only ones you'd miss.

Burton away DIDNT reached to the season ticket holders. I was thinking of last season. Even so it still rings pretty true. Burton and Forest are the only games where I don't think it would reach season tickket holders. Besides I said pretty much all the other matches, not all the other matches.

SuperDerbySuperRams Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I always buy one. Maybe not necessarily needed but not worth risking missing out on tickets you really want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen that either, as I was aware away members get first pick then it goes to season ticket holders that have attended X amount of games then onto another bracket of supporter.

Boycie Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Erm, was there even 5 away games played pre forest away last season? i went, and I know I'd not been to 5 by that time? i think you're mistaken lads. i remember a 5 away ticket purchase rule for season ticket holders wanting to purchase for some games last season, I believe Rotherham may have been one, Mind you, this season's trip to the dogs is after Xmas, so maybe they will do it, but I can't find proof?
