Justin C Posted 17 February, 2014 Share Posted 17 February, 2014 I am hoping to go to Palace away so much so that I have hotel booked in the lovely Croydon. However I have not been to any away games this year. What are the chances of the tickets making it to general sale? Would anyone be willing to let me use their customer number or buy 2 tickets for me? Of course I would give you the money first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shurlock Posted 17 February, 2014 Share Posted 17 February, 2014 Fill your boots, pal - you'll have the whole Arthur Wait stand to yourself as the great and good of the mongboard have decreed there is now little or nothing to play for. Ordinarily we take 3000-4000 and tickets get snapped up pretty quickly. West Ham went to general sale, so you should be able to get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ordinarily we take 3000-4000 and tickets get snapped up pretty quickly. West Ham went to general sale, so you should be able to get one. In the Prem they don't even give half of the Arthur Wait end to away fans. I think the allocation is now 2,200. I would say there's little to no chance of it going near general sale. Always a popular away trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin C Posted 17 February, 2014 Author Share Posted 17 February, 2014 So its not likely to go to general sale. Will anyone get me a couple of tickets or let me use their customer numbers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shurlock Posted 17 February, 2014 Share Posted 17 February, 2014 Unlikely, as our allocation will just be a bit over 2.5k. Fair enough, thinking of our last allocation in 2012 that was close to 6000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, no chance they'll go on general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Appy Posted 17 February, 2014 Share Posted 17 February, 2014 Very similar to Reading, the allocation drops right down when they are in the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whelk Posted 17 February, 2014 Share Posted 17 February, 2014 This loyalty thing is frustrating. Been to 3 aways this season but none on my ST and so perpetuates the situation of using a mates STs which they are obviously happy to give if not going. Yeovil in FA cup shows more loyalty than Emirates away I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin C Posted 18 February, 2014 Author Share Posted 18 February, 2014 The loyalty thing is strange. I went to the Yeovil game but can't see the worth of those 'points'. Well if anyone does here of any tickets or willing to buy them for me or let me use their numbers that would be great. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whelk Posted 19 February, 2014 Share Posted 19 February, 2014 Well that's hardly the clubs fault...? The point is I have had to go on others ahead of me as I haven't shown the 'loyalty'. Same people keep getting priority, which Iand no doubt others, help perpetuate out of desire to see games, so I am not getting chance to show my loyalty on my ST. Not the club's fault as such but system is flawed esp as restarted for Arsenal ignoring all last seasons games. Anyway can't moan too much as know many do far more games than me.

Saint Garrett Posted 19 February, 2014 Share Posted 19 February, 2014 Tbh, I don't see what the club can do to make it any fairer? Apart from maybe award a few more "points" for say Hull Away as it's not glamorous and on a Tuesday night, but then they'll have to be too many variables.

But if you'd used your season ticket from the start then you'd have 3 games on it and you'd have had a chance to show your 'loyalty'? Same people keep getting priority because they have been going all season. I can't understand what your complaint is, maybe I am just being really thick but it seems to me you're unhappy because people who have done more aways than you are getting priority.

Lord Duckhunter Posted 19 February, 2014 Share Posted 19 February, 2014 I just got mine online and no "ticket tax". Question is, is this a **** up or another NC policy being relaxed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 19 February, 2014 Share Posted 19 February, 2014 I just got mine online and no "ticket tax". Question is, is this a **** up or another NC policy being relaxed? It's a policy used by most clubs, if not all, so I doubt it's being reversed. When you think about the amount of tickets we sell and then work out the amount of money we'd be losing from not charging a booking fee, it's a lot of money to just suddenly not be having coming in.

Justin C Posted 19 February, 2014 Author Share Posted 19 February, 2014 I was not trying to debate the fairness of the policy. I think it is fair to be honest. I have a ST but can rarely make away games. Normally a couple a season. I was trying to see if anyone will let me use their customer number for any of the stages before they go on sale to ST holders.

Beckenham Saint Posted 19 February, 2014 Share Posted 19 February, 2014 Always try and make it to Palace away as it's about 10 minutes from me. Last time out there our traveling support treated them to a rendition of "I've got a shed that's bigger than this!" which I highly doubted. In fact, I have a suspicion that not even one of the 4,000 away fans had a shed that big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe their home support has come on a bit since then, it's grown from one annoying drum to a full-blown 'Ultra' movement Best away support at SMS this season tbf.

No, it's still one annoying drum with about 30 tw*ts which you can barely hear jumping up and down and linking arms etc. It's pathetic. Their away support hasn't been close to being the best at St Mary's this season either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well from where I sit in the Kingsland it came over better than most and almost constant, Chelsea was pretty good too. Man Utd will no doubt top the lot in May. Thing is what passes for good these days is still pretty sh*t and can't think of any other standout supports this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First game I could do was Arsenal and if waited to to any ST holder as they had wiped my games from last season I wouldn't have got one hence used mates who weren't going. Tbh I think you are struggling and not sure what you can't grasp that this system perpetuates. Others want to show their loyalty but don't get their chance as others are ahead of them and so this remains. It is only a minor moan but another point is that they won't have necessarily been 'loyal' as others could well have purchased on their tickets. I will also be doing palace on other's STs so again will have no games on mine. If I had my way L1 loyalty would be rewarded as well although actually not as bothered as I may appear as is relatively fair as it stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericb Posted 19 February, 2014 Share Posted 19 February, 2014 Not including the lower leagues is the biggest gripe of mine.

Griffo Posted 19 February, 2014 Share Posted 19 February, 2014 To be honest there's plenty of away games where we don't sell out or it goes on general sale. Have any non-London games not gone on general sale this year? Doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
