When we first got to the Prem I ended up buying away tickets that I wouldn't end up using to keep all of the families 'priority' as high as it could.
This then actually cost supporters who would have attended.
I'm sure I won't have to go to this level again but doing away with the Plat + is plain fucking stupid as it costs the club money.

That is what I intend to do mate. Use the ones I can afford to go to and sell the rest on. I know plenty who don't have season tickets but like to go away games and then there are the few that are banned. No problems getting rid of the tickets and it keeps your priority high. Still not exactly fair I suppose but needs must.

I don't blame you, Merk or Stafford (and you're ceratinly not the only ones who do this), but this is exactly why I was always against priority tickets and the dick-measuring contests as to who should get tickets and the damned metal-cards that Scholes dreamed up. For almost 150 years this club sold tickets on a first come, first served basis, and guess what... it worked. And in this day and age of online booking, nobody from out of the area can complain if they don't get one. It's not just the club that's prepared to shit on the fans, we've now got to the situation where the fans shit on their fellow fans to get their greedy snouts in the trough. Pigs! OS.

I got sick of being number 35 on a phone system and waiting 30 mins to order my tickets. Plat plus worked for me and I was proud to be 1 of the special 500 I always liked my special Plat + pack as well

The club will always be in a "no win" situation when it comes to away tickets - at least for those games that lots want to go to. First come first served SOUNDS OK but all it really does is create queues at the ground, queues on the 'phone and the website to crash!
I applaud the club for at least TRYING to create some semblance of a sytem and I hope that,next season, it works as well as it can

What a shame there isn't this much enthusiasm for every away trip even so it's great to see I really wish I could go to all away games mate but with 5 kids and a wife you have to pick and choose. I always like to try and get to the 1st away, last away and as many as I can afford in between. This season I think I have only managed Liverpool, Arsenal, Everton and the baggies. I have to plan and budget but there is only so far the purse strings will stretch. I like the full day out so it isn't just the cost of the ticket that stops me although Chelsea and Villa can fuck right off. It is all well and good people slagging those off that have only been a couple or non at all but it is a fine balance I'm afraid. No criticism intended of any stoke fan mate, just stating that apart from this fixture i think we have had tickets available for every other away game even with free travel

Is it actually 3:00 kickoff? I thought all end of season games are usually 4:00?

Where do I live and where do I work? The prices can be ridiculous. Charge a standard price across the league and listen to the whines from millionaires
