may be worth digging out my tent and pitching up tonight then
If you were on the AMS you could have transferred to the White scheme without having to pay a penny (within a certain time-frame, long expired), how comes you didn't?
Not living in BN1shire and working weekends - didn't see the point as I couldn't get to many games anyway. Ultimately my position in this, and my history of support is irrelevent.
My opposition to the scheme isn't because I haven't joined. I think the club is misguided as to why people go to games. This scheme stops families sitting together if some are STH and others not. If a group of 8 people with various 'membership' want to go, they can't. Some people might not get tickets at all, others won't sit together. Doesn't sound like a great day out to me. (This would be solved with a return to standing, but that's another argument!)
I also feel it's wrong in principle to charge someone for the possibility to buy something. IF there is a necessity to be in the scheme to attend the game (which there shouldn't be) then people could join once tickets were secured (eg similar to a booking fee, if required). There will be 8,000 members after 2,000 tickets (VERY conserative estimate), leaving 6,000 without tickets and earning the club £60,000 while the fans get nothing.
Supposing we win, and pull out a smaller club away where 1,000 tickets are available. NO white members will be able to buy one, so that's another £20 to upgrade above ticket price, still with no tickets guaranteed. Doesn't seem right to me...

I shall be going even if it is among the home fans (prefer not but that ticket already secured) did that before at Hereford so know what it is like.
I have it on good authority that the club originally asked for 12,000 tickets and got turned down and all I get now are Villa fans moaning that they have been moved because we want the full allowed allowence of tickets.

The whole ticket office is a complete bloody shambles. My experience of trying to buy tickets over the last few weeks has been a nightmare.
- No one replies to emails.
- You have to hang on ages on the phone and then you get disconnected.
- I tried to user my kid free vouchers and nothing got sent to them.
- Again tried to use kids vouchers and got sent the wrong number of tickets.
- Ticket office extremely unhelpful.
- The on-line system for people that haven't used before especially more elderly fans is very difficult to use. My parents are season ticket holder but have no idea about there 'online' details.
It just makes me so angry that these things have not been sorted over the years, we are just turning away support as our home game attendances prove. My kids are now being taken by a friend to Fulham home games where the club does everything it can to attract support both old and young, it knows how to treat its supporters !!

Nope, I think you have to pay the full £30
Why do so many people think the club are going to spend a fortune organising an away membership scheme when they generally do not make any money from away ticket sales?! They've got plenty of other more important things to spend money on at the moment.
If we pull a 'smaller club' away, then we won't be taking 6000 people will we? Will probably be a few hundreds, just like the earlier 'smaller club' away games.

tbh, I don't think they'll be many, if any smaller clubs in the next round. Mostly Prem and Champ. teams

An online ticketing system that actually lets you buy tickets!

Personally I have found the new online system works well whenever I have used it. Admittedly I have a ticket for the Villa game. However, I did miss out on Tottenham tickets despite being a season ticket holder and regular at away games. We just went in the home end instead, which people will be able to do this time too. I would think the game is very unlikely to sell out.
Whatever ticket allocation you have for over subscribed games, some people are going to miss out and moan about it. Lets be honest if the people who are moaning on here had a ticket they would not be moaning about it on other people's behalf (the problem they have is they might not get a ticket in the Brighton end).

Where do we go from here?
Yes, they can. They just have to wait until all their memberships entitle them to tickets. As they should do. It would be unfair for a group of 8 to all get STH priority if only one of them was.
don't join the system. you buy it based on the understanding that it MIGHT be needed. you wouldn't take a smoke alarm back just because you didn't have a fire.
jesus. suppose we draw a team with an away end that only houses 2 people, and the local idiot knows someone who works the ticket desk. deal with it.
p.s. i'm a white member, in prayer on wednesday morning.

As of yesterday afternoon, there had been ALMOST 4000 sold. That leaves around 2400 still available.
They will still be on sale tomorrow, and probably the day after.

My mate has phoned the ticket office and now they are saying there should be tickets for anyone who wants one!
The best advice is to stay off NSC and stop panicking!
