Not much detail yet, but the club is keeping the loyalty points scheme as part of it...

If it's like Arsenals membership scheme it's £30 a season so if the club are thinking of fleecing another £30 of supporters they can take a running jump

I hope if you choose not to pay for this privilege it won't effect your chances of getting tickets etc...
Or they could just use the existing database to identify loyal fans.
No. Much better to create another tier of loyalty and charge for that. I'd imagine it'll be £20 a year. Easy money.
Oh and I like the technique of lulling fans into voting for a name. Why the need for this? I'm concerned that this way they can rush out a release saying "75% of fans voted for a loyalty scheme call My Seagulls" - nice bit of potential PR spin in the offing there.

I very much hope that this not some 'pay £30 for the right to buy a ticket' nonsense. It looks very much like it could be.
Getting really tired of barber trying to get every last penny out of me & my family.

Yes. I also believe it's going to be £15 upfront for the right to pay £30 to join Seagulls Priority. This in turn allows you to buy a ticket at face value (but not necessarily your seat) - this will cost and extra £30 (if you join a waiting list that costs £20 to join)
Does this make sense?
Slightly inappropriate timing to start promoting next season under current circumstances.
How many membership schemes, including the lifetime one, have we paid for already since coming back to Brighton?

There is absolutely no need for a membership scheme. They have a database with everyone's names and addresses going back to the 90s, they have a points system that tells them what tickets each person has bought. It is just an excuse to squeeze more money out of supporters and it sucks. They'll bring it in and then in a years time they'll add another premium layer then the year after that they'll add a platinum premium layer. then they'll scrap the whole thing and start a new scheme.
Certainly likes promoting us as customers not fans. This will bite him in the back side one day!
