Spot on. Like you say there would be a number who have now binned it, those tickets never went on sale as full ST. Last season I basically sat in the same seat with y bro in the one next for pretty much the full season. Now and again we did the nomad bit, but I hoped I could get my hands on those same seats. It is what it is but the club could have handled it better.I'm a SC member so I'm not directly affected by what the club has done this summer but I think it stinks to high heaven.
Every year there will be a proportion of SC holders who don't renew for all sorts of reasons and I highly doubt that everyone who deferred renewed either. Therefore there would be a small number of SCs available to new members this summer as they always have. However, the club have decided that they will not be offered as a full SC but instead a ticket bundle and they have branded it Silver. To compound what they have done, they haven't actually come out and stated that no full SCs would be available either. If they can be sold for 14 games then they can be sold for 19.
When Silver was announced a while back, it got a positive response as it was presented as an ADDITIONAL option. My question would be did CM reps know it was instead of Gold & Platinum or are they just being useful idiots for the club?

Think youve missed my point, it’s the fact that ALL the best seats in all four stands are on the hospitality corporate gig means less for normal fans. And to add insult to injury a lot of these are empty for many games.While all that may be true, though if you mean 93:20 they’ve been full the couple of times I’ve been in them, whether the hospitality seats are full or not full has little impact on the atmosphere because the atmosphere doesn’t come from those seats. I think the fact it was 7- 0 probaly dampens the atmosphers as it becomes a procession and a relaxed crowd.
Yes. After renewals and relocations today's window is it.Do you know for sure that no new full Season Tickets have been offered this season?
Either way a lot have said we have too many S/T's, others say it's S/T holders that don't turn up which causes the empty seat issue.
It suggests that whatever the Club would have done would not have been met with approval by all.
Price of success I suppose.
Even if the prices don’t rise much, can see them only offering silvers to everyone, and at that point everyone defending it will have other thoughts.I think a lot of season ticket holders criticising those moaning are missing the point. Those who missed out just wanted a fairer system to decide who got what.
When the membership scheme was put forward it said you would get access to the 'season ticket waiting list'...There was no list, there was no fair system in place decided by points, date of membership or time you entered the queue. Instead it was a free-for-all lottery.
Those saying 'why don't you get to as many games as you can' are also missing the point a little as the cost of tickets on average will be higher purchasing each game individually. Granted it's the best option now there are no season tickets left.
Then factor in that the club said that these silver tickets were for 'people who wanted a cheaper option, families etc...'. Well that didn't work did it, as they will have been taken by people who could afford a gold ticket but just took anything they could get.
Ultimately this has been a significant fuck up by the club once again, what happened to just having a good old fashioned list where you had your number in the queue and you waited your turn (might take a couple of season etc...).
Season ticket holders should be backing a fairer system because I tell you, the price of your season ticket next season is going to rise significantly.
Sounds like a perfect storm and maybe just for this Summer only.Yes. After renewals and relocations today's window is it.
It has been Chinese Whispers as people have posted responses from the club on here... @MAG a few days ago was one.
i'm going to give it a go but hers is on her phone and it wouldn't transfer to mine last season .It’s easier to list the ticket than it’s ever been and you get a refund if it sells. Can’t understand why anyone wouldn’t do it if they can’t go to the match. I’m sure your daughter could do it if you can’t. You could even just give it away to someone on your friends and family as an alternative.
I stopped reading at social media.According to social media (!) it shows how small time we are. Rags have a waiting list of something like 10 years, and you've not been able to get a season ticket for the Dippers since 2011......
