Loyalty scheme needed badly:

[Akinbadbuy]

I'll be totally honest and say that im absolutely gutted that I cant get a ticket for Watford.
Much as im glad we are taking a big follwing I am annoyed that as a loyal supporter who goes both home and away regularly I cannot get a ticket due to glory hunters jumping on the stoke bandwagon.
I have cheered the lads on through thick and thin and feel devastated that ive now got to miss out.
On the basis of this I feel the club should introduce a loyalty scheme whereby those who actually attend away matches regular should get first crack at the tickets for the bigger games.
What makes it even worse is that ive already booked my seat on the bus so now ive got to let the lads on the bus down as ive got no ticket.
To sum it up im gutted!!!!

Why didn't you order your ticket in good time? Surely the tickets were on sale for a while. You can order them in person, by phone or by fax so you didn't even need to get down to the ticket office.

I purchased my tickets two weeks ago! Surely, if you are a regular follower you know that the big games at this stage of the season are likely to sell out. You had 2 weeks to get yourself organised, so I have no sympathy!

I have been to 10 away games so far this season and every time try and get the tickets as early as possible to avoid any disappointments like you've had now.

[Lakeland Potter]

Even if they had a loyalty scheme in operation you can bet that members would have had to buy their ticket earlier than 2 days before the game! ;D

No Loyality scheme is needed,, as stated they've been on sale for a good while now so you've had plenty of time to get them mate.

Anyway, aint you just been travelling for months & months,,,, not exactly loyal from the otherside of the world

[Willowstoke]

pointless thread, plenty of time, only 2 days to go! Really jumping on the bandwagon

Get a season ticket. One of the perks is that you get first dabs at away tickets. Or are these the glory hunters you refer too?

[Akinbadbuy]

Admittedly ive left it late which is obviously now a big mistake.
To be brutally honest I didnt think it would sell out which is why I thought id get away with leavin it late.
Potters11 - In answer to your question I am a regular follower and it for that reason I thought it wouldnt sell out like every other away game ive been to this year.
Scousemonkey, yeah ive been travelling but came back in January. Only missed one away game since Ive been back and attended most away games last year.
Anyway got a ticket sorted now so happy days!!!!

Wolves, Preston and Blackpool have all sold out this season.

[potters11]

You've got your ticket now, so all ends well!

Sorry but what a ridiculous moan


2 days before the game and you're complaining all tickets have gone and you should have special treatment ???


Unbelievable

[howard moon is a stokie]

it didnt help when people on this site claimed we would get an extra few thousand upon request.

[Akinbadbuy]

Soicowboy

Im not asking for special treatment im asking for fairness.

If I leave it till last minute and end up missing out then yeah thats my fault, but surely loyal fans should get preference.

That is why season ticket holders get first crack, because they are loyal.

So are you saying that it is wrong for loyal fans to have first crack at tickets?

The only reason I left it this late was because i didnt think it would sell out otherwise I would have got my ticket earlier.

[soicowboy]

Someone on this site once claimed we were signing David Beckham- doesn't make it true



Thing is Aki- well done for going to the games and glad you got one- was surely though going to be a decent following and not a huge allocation. Season Ticket holders etc DO get first shout and rightly so
