Chellaston Ram Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I've noticed they've categorised the away members now. Are they still expecting large numbers ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chellaston Ram Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 They must have more than 1600 away members Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 We had 1506 sell out to away members at Burton so wouldn't surprise me, saw a few people on Twitter become members for Forest away. Guess this is trying to get the tickets out to those that have had the memberships all season. Bit naughty you could say as it's sold as giving you priority, should probably cut membership sales off in the first couple months of the season.

It does still give you priority over normal season ticket holders though doesn't it? I'm an away member but don't actually get to a lot of away games. I don't really have a problem with this when tickets are very limited but they should perhaps warn you when you purchase away membership that further prioritastion may occur (maybe they do).

Angry Ram Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Good idea by the club.. Means tickets will go to those who actually travel away. Just buying memberships for one or two games is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 Should scrap the memberships all together to be honest and go straight to a priority only system. If you're not a season ticket holder you have to buy a home membership to buy an away, that's what £90 in membership fees? You could go to most away games, travel up and down the country, Ipswich on a Tuesday night and miss out on Forest away as someone paid £40 more than you.

Points system will work but some clubs give a block of points to season ticket holders.. That's wrong.. Go away get your points, happy with that.

Boycie Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 They ought to make priority to Derby based fans, not the ones who live near the away ground. its just not fair. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gritstone Ram Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I have been banging this drum for quite a while. I think a points system is better but money talks above any misguided loyalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're joking but, just in case you're not: How do you define Derby based fans? Those that live within 2 miles? 5 miles? 20 miles? And why should they be given priority? There are some on this forum who travel considerable distances (not me, my journey is relatively modest), why should they be disadvantaged? When tickets are scarce priority should be given to those that travel to away games regularly regardless of where they live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
