So "Season Ticket Holder" is basically a tier of the newly named Seagulls Priority, and you can add the away season ticket and/or auto-cup scheme to move up to an even higher tier of some sort? For STHs it seems mostly like a branding exercise.
The £10-£30 for non-STHs is a bit more worrying though, not good to say "You can pay us up front to have the best pick of seats, although you'll still be behind STHs."

Agree.
What's wrong with the existing membership scheme that helps the club track who has bought what and when? It's called the fan number.
Surley it would have made more sense to make an away loyalty points policy? Just like the current loyalty points, but have an away version. Those who are STH and go everygame would still get priority but it would mean that those of us who regulary attend away games actually get a bit of priority. For example, if i go most away games and another guy hasn't been to an away game, we get Manchester United away in the cup yet he would get pruority over me? Its just wrong and a way of making money
FANS NOT CUSTOMERS!
Seriously guys, it's simple supply and demand isn't it. All the major clubs do this and we're starting to think AND ACT like a major club, is that so wrong?

Too be honest I wouldn't mind the membership scheme too much if it allowed a proper "general sale" (e.g. my mate could go to the ticket shop & buy a ticket), too many times my mates have wanted to go but it's been a last minute decision/not wanting to register etc..
Having said that I'd also like the club to activate the season ticket exchange soon after the match has gone on sale (might encourage more STH's to sell their seat back to the club)
Yes. It is wrong. If you think football is in any way broken and needs to re-examine itself, then quite simply, being like the rest is not the "aspiration" that I have.
