    Not officially anounced yet but....


    We get 500 points for been a season tickets holder,
    100 for blades revival, super draw etc
    10 for every away game attended.


    We are all on an even field to start off with, this i feel is not fair.

    For example:
    1) I have had a season ticket since the 94/95 season, and have been going away regularly since the 99/00 season.
    2) 1 guy i go to the match with has had a season ticket since 85 and goes all over the world, he went to china, went to the anglo/italian cup in pre season 94.
    3) Then there are those that will have got a season ticket for the 1st time this season, we've sold 20k remember - the most ever.

    Now why should all 3 of these examples have as much right to get a ticket for Tottenham. We have got 1800 tickets @ £42 going directly on general sale. Surely 1 should have priority over 2 and 2 priority over 3?

    Welcome to the Premier League mate, where almost every ground is full and away allocations are pitiful.

    You're no longer the big fish, (despite what Jagielka may think ;) ), and to the best of my knowledge the only decent away allocation is Blackburn, who usually cough up 8,000 tickets . . .

    That's absolute BULLSHIT. I am absolutely furious about that. 500 points per season ticket holder?? Absolute rubbish, I've had a season ticket for 10 years, and not missed a game for 2 years home or away, and I get no priority over people who've got season tickets for the first time cos we're in thr Premiership? Absolute joke.

    Now I've got to queue at 4-5am when they come out :no:

    Loyalty Points my arse

    it's on www.footballgroundguide.co.uk for the prices mate. There's only one or two below £30 a ticket... unless you're a child of course, then minimum is about £20

    This loyalty card bollocks has been going around for ages. Personally I don't think the club has the organisational capacity to make this work.

    Second of all, To be honest, at £42 a pop, I don't see there being a massive queue forming to buy tickets to be honest. People will be skint by the end of September.

    Thanks a lot SUFC. Last season, at the start of the season, I said I was going to EVERY first-team game in the season. I had no clue how well they were going to do, i just wanted to follow my team. Now I find myself in equal priority with the glory-hunting bandwagon jumpers for away tickets.

    Bollocks.

    Aparently weve only used the electronic system for 3 seasons, so theres no way of telling whos had a season ticket for years and who hasnt,

    We all know who goes to away games regularly because we all know each others faces. A lot of us know each other from reserve / youth games aswel

    I dont get how there going to police who goes away and who doesnt though, I go to the Lane in my dinner hour and by 15 tickets for every away game regularly with £200 cash in my pocket, so do I get 150 points and the 14 people im buying for get 0 then?....

    But at the end of the day, thoses of us the follow our club all over the world year after year are going to find a way to get a ticket, those that turn up because where playing well, for me can piss off back to their armchair

    To be honest do you think you will sell out all your allocations of course apart from Blackburn i bet Wigan give you a good few tickets.

    Blame your club for 1800 tickets. You're allowed at least 3000.

    Kop, the ticket details, naturally, haven't even been released by the club. To be honest I haven't a clue what he is ****ing talking about complaining about us only getting 1800. Other than repeating heresay and chinese whispers.

    No it's not fair. Why should some johnny-come-lately who has only had a season ticket since 94/95 get priority over me? Even though I haven't got a ST for this season nor did I have one last season I went to every home game whilst we were in the 4th division plus I went to L666ds for a midweek full members cup tie the mid 80's. I have also attended various minor pre-season friendly games in such locations as Staveley, Skeggy & Borrowash & am able to recite the names of the 1899 FA Cup winning team from memory. I also once went to a Northern Intermediate league game & a FA Youth Cup tie versus Enderby Town & have the single sheet programmes to prove it!

    This I feel should be enough to give me priority for any ticket for any game over anyone else in the world.
