No Ticket Priority For Centenary Society Members

I'll be cancelling this first thing tomorrow morning. I only kept it on because I thought it would come in useful for occasions such as this. The saving will help me pay for ridiculous booking fees and extortionate travel.

Scroll down to where it lists the benefits - 'Priority Access To High Demand Match Tickets'. Don't make me laugh.

 

May have just been overlooked

Centenary members don't get a look in these days. I've been a Centenary member since 1989 (£8.66 per month). Won £1K once about 5 yrs ago.

 

Could understand your point if there was only 1500 tickets... Not 25k

 

It isn't about getting in, I know I'll get a ticket. It's about getting where you want to be and not having to fight with overloaded servers on the Thursday. That benefit is what I've supposedly been paying for.

 

Agree. I have seen numerous times this catagory. But with 25k plus more if needed. I don't think it's really required. Unless they add that as a catagory in between ST holders and general sale....

 

You'll get a ticket more or less where you want to be, stop winjing.

 

Your right. Why bother having priority for season ticket holders either.

 

The key words are 'high demand'

Wembley isn't a high demand game.

 

So why bother prioritising ST holders. Just put it on general sale from the off.

 

I think you're missing the point here. The 1,500 people in the Centernary Society aren't getting what they've paid for.

PS. Of course it's a high demand game!!!

 

I'm sorry if this point has already been made but Centenary Members should get some priority so that they have a better chance of the better seats than the general public. It's not much fun sat in the top tier seats at Wembley - I've been there.

 

It's the biggest game of the season as it stands but there's an additional 15k. We can request should it be required, ergo not high demand.

 

You're getting mixed up between high demand and short supply. If a lot of people want to go then of course there is high demand however there isn't short supply.but the terms of the centenary doesn't state short supply it states high demand. Also the best tickets are being sod first, this has been stated by the club therefore there is both high demand and arguably short supply for the best tickets. Of course they will be able to get some **** seats somewhere even if they turn up on the past second of the last day but that isn't what they pay for is it

 

I'll just quote myself.

Ie acknowledging the fact that centenary members haven't been given a priority status.

Which I assume is what gally means by emailing BM

 

The reserve tickets should be the shitty tickets based on the fondness of money at the football league.

The centenary was for people who didn't have a season ticket the chance to get tickets that are limited for away games Fleetwood being an example. Not pot luck at 25k of tickets.

There will be plenty of opportunity to get a 'better' seat on general sale, short of a rush Monday morning and Thursday morning I suspect there won't be much trouble otherwise.

 

I asked [MENTION=55011]BFC[/MENTION]boxoffice on Twitter about centenary priority. Their reply "Unfortunately Centenary members are not on our ticketmaster system as that's totally in house so impossible to do."

But also went on to say "There won't be a problem getting tickets. I appreciate what you're saying but hope you understand why it's not possible"

I don't doubt We'll get tickets the tickets we want, but you can't claim membership offers a priority, when it doesn't. It used to, was up there along side ST holders. But over the years it's dropped down the ranks to 'in there with the general public'

 

I bet your sweaty little palm will be clutching your season pass on Monday morning though won't it. Deetee, president of the 'I'm Alright Jack' brigade.
