Guest alex Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I think a lot of people will pick and choose games anyway as there'll be tickets available in any case but on top of that people will be waiting to see what happens with the proposed sale. The rest of us are mugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnthebrief 0 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I live in Manchester so don't go to many home games anyway I'm toying with the idea of buying a season ticket this year though, just so I'm in with a shout for away tickets. With the smaller allocations likely at Championship grounds I think a lot more games may sell out before the members or public get a look in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scunny and Blackpool spring to mind. At the likes of Peterborough, you get 4,000 out of the 13,000 capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a member already Cheapest season ticket is I think £390, which I can cope with. And I have friends in the Toon who'll probably take the home games off me, which should cover most of the cost. I'll probably wait and see how it goes for the first couple of games though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I wouldn't be counting on selling on the home games. I can stand the cost anyway if needs be.

N17 0 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 So why is that happening? Are "the best fans in the world" boycotting Mike Ashley? or is it a case of the geordie nation being a fickle bunch like most football fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are "the best fans in the world" boycotting Mike Ashley? or is it a case of the geordie nation being a fickle bunch like most football fans. Personally I've never claimed the Toon have the best fans in the world (although at Villa park in May I might have said so) And I don't think you can really call it fickle. When faced with the monstrosity of Ashley's regime, and the seemingly unending downward spiral of the club, what means of expressing their unhappiness do the fans have, besides ticket sales?

Tom 14011 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I think most people are hoping for something to be done. Ashley has done literally nothing and the club are charging Premier League prices. If he thinks he's making some good sales he can dream on, after all...where does the money go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 17280 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Just spoke to the ever helpful box office...... this is on nufc.com today: Tickets: West Brom (a) members sale now, £23. according to the b.o. thats bollocks. There is no memebership scheme in place for this season......yet.... Applications from season ticket holders are invited up till August 1st, then any remaining will go on public sale. With one thing and another, I'm not sure about renewing my season ticket, but I have enough loyalty points have been invited to apply for an "away season ticket" last season and this seaon.So I sent the away ST application off but not the home one, as the wording of the application made no mention whether you had to have a home season ticket or not,it basically said it was done on loyalty points accrued,of which I have over 100. I saw the ticket informtion on nufc.com and logged in to see if I'd got my ticket for West Brom set aside. Seeing no evidence of this I phoned the box office. They've just told me I need to have a home ST if I want to take advantage of the "away ticket offer", which they say isn't an "away season ticket" and isn't described as such. Which is frankly bollocks, it was described as such in the literature.The bottom line in all this is you're almost certainly going to have to have a ST to get a ticket for West Brom, which is pretty much the same as last season I suppose, but with nufc.com saying theres a members sale on at the moment and the club saying there isn't a memebership scheme anyway, I can see there being a lot of confusion about this. The other thing is if you have any loyalty points at all and you don't take a ST this year then you start next season with zero. Cunts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Castell 0 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Don't blame any of you fans for holding back on the season tickets. Haven't looked to see how much they are, but forking out a few hundred £ for anything with so many things going wrong and unresolved would be madness. Everything about Newcastle is in a right mess, and if it continues, only the weirdest of masachists would turn up for every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
