Well yeah. The only point of ST guests is making having an ST more attractive to a ST holder or a potential ST holder. It isn’t about the guests, it’s about rewarding the ST holder that they are able to bring a guest.
Guests are guests, whether a forum user gets tickets for a fellow user or you get a ticket for a guest - what’s the difference? You’re skipping a guest ahead of Albion+ member guests or purchase history window. :shrug:
It's not been made recently, it's always been a benefit of being an ST holder. Most PL games go to members then ST guests, then purchase history. This is the on sale dates for up and coming fixtures, but it's been the case for years...
I guess over time we probably have say 40k or so fans that for whatever reason have history / loyalty / whatever measure that probably does stand up to an argument they should be able to get a ticket. However there were 34k available, so however that priority was sliced and diced, there is...
Not being an ST this season, I've bought quite a few seats with 1 inbetween and not yet met the 'this is my designated seat I'm not moving' person. I'm sure they exist and my odds must be shortening on it happening eventually! :lolol:
1010 left excluding the lower tier disabled and PA seats still listed there.
There's always going to be some in shopping baskets that disappear then are back on again.
I think that these 23/24 memberships are active for home games this season e.g. you could buy H MUtd and H Everton, but they haven't been given priority for the semi-final.
Maybe someone with 23/24 membership with this problem could see if they could by those home games?
The FA have always issued tickets to the final to every club that enters the competition. That is history and the reason why there’s less tickets for a final than a semi final for the competing clubs.
