What’s everyone’s thoughts on the new membership systems? Seems pretty poorly thought out to me - I qualify for the lower level away membership but not the higher one having only (!) been to 16 away games last season. I’ve had away membership for 14 years alongside my ST, all whilst living in Bristol, so pretty gutting that I’m likely to miss some of the new grounds. (3,000 tickets per away game, but 5400 away members + whatever they give to Corporates/friends & family/supports clubs - means a roughly 40-50% chance of a ticket to most games even with membership). I understand you don’t want away membership to be a closed shop if we do stay up more than a season - but I don’t see why loyalty points aren’t being used, or length of ST holdership, as a fairer way of ensuring the fans who’ve been loyal in the lower leagues are rewarded. Mostly desperate to get to Goodison at last before it closes! And Old Trafford too.
I'm a season card holder Rob but not an away member. Always took my chances with away tickets and have tended to do quite well apart from one or two occasions last season. Managed 10 in all. I'm obviously gonna try and get one next Wednesday morning when eligible as SC holder but not looking forward to the inevitable stress when going online in the mad rush. And then if lucky enough to get one for me and my youngest lad, not looking forward to the inevitable stress trying to get away match tickets. Edit: @ForestRob 100% agree it's completely unfair existing loyalty points have been wiped clean and have zero bearing on prioritising away membership sales. Really, really poor from Forest.
It's not good and very unfair (where were most of these fans when we were in league one?) but I wouldn't expect any better from NFFC regarding ticketing where's it's always been a shambles.
Surprise Surprise, the shambolic lying ticket office **** up again. Was under position 300 in the online queue from around 9.30am waiting to purchase 2 away memberships at 10.00am when it opened. Got in more or less straight away, selected 2 memberships only to be met with the old favourite message 'there are no seats available matching your criteria'. Tried for over half an hour getting same message til it eventually kicked me out. Went back in at queue position 10k ish ffs. I'm absolutely disgusted (and quite upset tbh) that that's probably the end of away days for me and my youngest lad. To think of the travelling we've done over the last few years just to have our loyalty points binned and not being used for this. Absolutely shocking from Forest.
