    I didnt go to Burnley match because I am a season ticket holder and I went to Swansea game and it was garbage.
    So rather than spend 15 nips plus all other bits and bats, I decided to stay at home with my wife and kids.

    Does that make me less of of a fan of someone who went? and more importantly should I be allowed to sit in my ST seat for the Man U game or give it up to someone who did go?

    Surely the fact that we are on here week in week out shows that we ARE fans and when big clubs come to oakwell we should be helping each other get tickets (if required) rather than Im a better fan than you?

    As far as im concerned if youve committed your support by buying a season ticket the youre entitled to first dibs over a ticket over a non season ticket holder regardless of wether you attended the last round or not.

    BUT When it comes to away cup ties and tickets are restricted I think regular away supporters with away stubs should get priority.

    The clubs ticketing method for the last cup run was shambolic and is the main reason why people are panicking in the run up to the Man Utd game.

    Lets hope they have learned their lesson and thank **** its a home tie.

    Well said !

    It happens all the time a la Liverpool, Chelsea and the Wembley fiasco's. I'd love for us all to get on but some have to be provocative so and so's and winde folk up about being 'real fans'.

    Like you their is no way i'd gave up my season ticket seat for a high calibre game like this. I've sat their for along time, sat through more **** than good in the last 3 years too! Is that not a good reason of why i should be allowed my ticket for the Manure game?

    Everton allocate their away tickets depending on how many away stubs you have

    More tickets the higher your priority

    RE: Everton allocate their away tickets depending on how many away stubs you have

    Yes I agree with that. Really though that wouldnt present much of a problem for us either because we have a smallish regular away following and most of them are probably season ticket holders as well.

    RE: Well said !

    i was a season ticket holder last year but due to work commitments it has proved uneconomical for me to be this year, so far i've been to 5 games, 3 away and 2 home.

    I believe that i may struggle for a ticket for man u whihc annoys me because i attend when i can, season ticket holders should get first prioirty not the people who come for the big games, makes me laugh some people i know haven't been to watch reds since fa cuo semi, and they saying i'll be at man u match, thats a disgrace, thing is they will probably get tickets as well when people who go to matches when they can and when they can afford won't.

    thats whats wrong

    I agree mate, hope you get a ticket.

    With you going to the home and away games this season. To be honest i think you should, they'll go:

    1) Season ticket holders

    2) Supporters trust members

    3) Home and away ticket stubs

    4) Burnley stubs?

    5) General sale.

    I wouldn't worry mate, you should get a ticket but if you don't, then you're spot on - it'll be a disgrace. (N)

    Should just be 1 per season ticket?

    Doubt they'll make the same mistake with the Liverpool and Chelsea fiasco.

    Hypethetical this is as I know club won't want to pay more for Police, but don't away teams get 15% of stadium for cup games? Surely West Stand lower and upper towards the North stand satisfy that demand leaing North stand with 6000 seats for Reds?

    Basically Man U will will get North Stand so get 30%
