It's good that all those who regularly travel away have had the chance to buy a ticket for man utd.

So supporter A has been going to home games regularly for the last 25 years, with the odd away game. Although supporter B has been to going home and away games regularly for the last 3 seasons.It's good that all those who regularly travel away have had the chance to buy a ticket for man utd.

Wouldn't matter, both would have 160+ in that caseSo supporter A has been going to home games regularly for the last 25 years, with the odd away game. Although supporter B has been to going home and away games regularly for the last 3 seasons.
Who deserves priority?
They both get priority, so not an issue.So supporter A has been going to home games regularly for the last 25 years, with the odd away game. Although supporter B has been to going home and away games regularly for the last 3 seasons.

But 9000 plus fans are going to Man U and thats a bit father away. We got a flight to Bristol for the price of one and a half Man U tickets. Better time for us hopefully.
Tickets are not transferable now but someone at the front of the pecking order buys a ticket, Mfc post it to the registered address, purchaser gets ticket and posts to a mate/family member who buys ticket off the season ticket holder.It won't allows happen. Snoop Dogg was talking earlier this week about using NFTs as tickets. It was about forged tickets because you would be able to verify that the ticket was genuine as it would be on the blockchain but other rules could be put in place such as no transferring etc. The current system is exploitable in loads of ways which might be removed in the future with technology.
You’re extremely naive if that’s what you think.Nearly 10,000 tickets sold for this game. I bet its not even three figures that don't get used by the actual person who bought them.

You aren't going to stop that in the short term. Especially when the home team have zero interest in who turns up with a ticket.

Possibly - what number would you put on it??You’re extremely naive if that’s what you think.
I get where your coming from with the privilege mindset but that’s fact.I really don't understand the mindset that people who go regularly deserve to go as if they are suffering by partaking in a leisure activity of their choosing. Some people are lucky enough to be in a position to go to every single game, most others aren't. I don't understand why people with all of their privileges think they deserve more than other people.
It's in the terms and conditions of the season ticket and priority system so I have no problem with it but the mindset is silly. Thank yourselves lucky that you can go home and away every week instead of complaining that you might miss a game here or there and heaven forbid somebody "less deserving" gets to go.
It is with a points system.I get where your coming from with the privilege mindset but that’s fact.
Are people lucky that they go to every game home and away or is it about sacrifice?
personally I spend most of my expendable income on boro. I don’t smoke, I hardly drink, I drive a 16 year old car and I use most of my leave at work getting saturdays off.
I know most who go are in the same boat.
Loyalty has to be rewarded somehow.
Comfortably hundreds. Most likely into the thousands given the number of young and old season ticket holders that won't travel, those that couldn't travel with it being a night match, those put off by the price and those that just don't travel to away games at all. We would've had to have sold ALL the tickets to approximately two thirds of the season ticket fan base. I don't see it at all.Possibly - what number would you put on it??
I'll accept 100's but not 1000's - this is the glory match that everyone wants to go to.Comfortably hundreds.

But for a high demand game for example Sunderland away where we would get limited tickets, a season ticket holder who goes to every game home and away could loose out to someone with a season ticket but never does an away game. Thats not exactly fairI'd give priority to all season card holders. At least that way everyone that's put money in the clubs coffers gets an opportunity to buy an in demand ticket. Under this system, we have season card holders with high priority points giving away their card to allow non-season ticket holders the chance to purchase tickets. This has prevented other season card holders (season card holders with 70 points in this instance) the opportunity to buy tickets.
Are you a season ticket holder?I don't give a **** about going to the big games. I just want to be able to go to the London matches. I go to all the matches on my doorstep, just like a season ticket holder. I am concerned that I will not be able to attend London matches for seasons at a time if we are doing well, should all the season ticket holders start going to away games. If I can't go to the games I'll stop supporting the club. This saddens me greatly. Used to be a big F1 fan until sky priced me out of it. Don't want to lose football too.

How could it? We have more than 9000 season ticket holders I believe so no system would ever guarantee all ST holders a ticket (as I found out to my chagrin vis a vis Eindhoven)Why not? Both have put the same amount of money into the club.
A season ticket is supposed to confer the benefit of the option of buying in demand tickets. It hasn't done so in this circumstance.
