DCFC Ram Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Anybody else noticed that season ticket holders are limited to one ticket until they go on general sale (after 'round 3'), whereas anyone who has bought one home ticket in the last 2 years can buy 2 tickets in 'round 3'. whilst it doesn't bother me, it seems a bit of an odd arrangement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucker1884 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Yeah, see what you're saying. It doesn't affect me either, but yes, it does seem odd that those that have previously bought a single ticket during the last 2 seasons can buy 2 tickets before anyone else has a chance to buy a second ticket. It should be one per Fan ID through all stages, until general sale, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1of4 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Anyone who calls themselves a Rams fan should have been to at least one game in the past two seasons So the third round of ticket sales is in all but name a general sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Except that it isn't 'in all but name a general sale' as season ticket holders who haven't missed a game for 2 years are unable to buy an extra ticket in the third round of sales - whereas someone who has been to one game in two years can buy an extra ticket during that round.

It's neither here nor there for me - but I would have thought that the club would see season ticket holders as more of a priority that some random single ticket buyer is all.

Why does a ST holder need an extra ticket? If a friend has been to a game in the past two years, they'll be able to get one during P3 themselves.

So that season ticket holder can buy a ticket for someone who obviously has not been to a match in the last 2 years (otherwise they would not need to rely on the season ticket holder to buy them the ticket?!) The club do see season ticket holders as priority hence why the get chance to get their tickets before everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ST holder does have priority. They can get a ticket during P3. For home games you only need 1 fan ID for multiple tickets. So some fans who attend regularly don't have fan IDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade 86 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 5 minutes ago, G STAR RAM said: Why should season ticket holders get any priority to additional tickets? Playing devil's advocate here but I'd suggest that by and large, those who spend the most with the club should probably be favoured over those who only turn up to watch us play United. Loyalty and spend should be rewarded though perhaps a small % of tickets should be retained exclusively for non-ST holders too so that those who live abroad, or can't get to games for other reasons, are not excluded on the odd occasions that they can? In fairness, it's hard to please everyone is this regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've taken my GF and several different friends to games but they don't have a fan ID. I also buy home tickets for my dad and brother using my fan ID and if they didn't go to away games as well, then they wouldn't have fan IDs either. But, they've collectively been to 10-15 home games in the past 2 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC Ram Posted February 17, 2020 Author Share Posted February 17, 2020 Absolutely nothing personal mate, but if your fan id is because you're a season ticket holder you'll be waiting for general sale to buy them one this time around Whereas if you have an id but aren't a season ticket holder you'll be able to buy an extra ticket on Friday.
