king canary 8,943 Posted June 12, 2019 Club launches priority and standard memberships for next season along with priority and standard away memberships. Reaction not positive so far I think it's fair to say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigManInTheBarclay 84 Posted June 12, 2019 £50 on top of my season ticket and 3rd priority in queue? Thanks for rewarding loyalty! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bannana Boy 32 Posted June 12, 2019 Very poor from the club. I hope they listen to the feedback and act quickly to reverse these changes - specifically with regards to the away allocation. Capping home ticket prices at £30 is a good and commendable thing BUT it does meant that relatively season tickets are worth less. Sure you're guaranteed your bum on a seat but with a membership and not being fussy where you sit you can pretty much get tickets for every match. The away scheme is just terrible. No reward for loyalty, and nothing to stop a Manure fan from Great Yarmouth picking up a membership and ticket ahead of a season ticket holder or someone who went to nine games last season. Utterly bonkers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adie b 0 Posted June 12, 2019 What a great new away membership scheme ! I have not been to a Norwich game for the last ten years so this premier card for only £50 gives me the opportunity to go to some of the big premiership grounds next season. Feel a bit sorry for the season ticket holders who have been to an average 5 away games per season in last 30 years who are not rewarded for their loyalty ! The club have got a lot of things right lately but not this one , explains why they announced it the day before fixtures and put them on sale at 9.00 am.

Jobsworth Canary 168 Posted June 12, 2019 Pleased overall with the changes. The £50 goes to the club and capping away tickets means I will be better off. having done far more than 10 away games last season I am glad my loyalty is finally being recognised well done the club.

Hoola Han Solo 448 Posted June 12, 2019 (edited) Good to see home tickets capped at 30 quid. However, a casual fan can 'jump the queue' with regards to away tickets. I've been a season ticket holder for nearly ten years, with probably 40 or 50 away games in this time. But now I will have to pay to get higher up the ladder, just like any other b ugger who's not been in donkeys years 😬 Edited June 12, 2019 by Hoola Han Solo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CANARYKING 720 Posted June 12, 2019 The away system seems very unfair to long term ST holders who would like to go to the odd away game now when in the Premier League Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nuff Said 6,050 Posted June 12, 2019 Can’t see many people buying standard membership unless they’re buying for more than a couple of people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoola Han Solo 448 Posted June 12, 2019 "But you won't reach the top of that ladder. City have ring-fenced a priority group of 750 people that were either away season ticket holders or went to 10 or more away games last season, and their respective loyalty will be rewarded with the first shot at away tickets next season - providing they buy an away premier membership." Even if you're in that 10+ game category, you'll still have to pay the £50. Loyalty indeed (at a price). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FenwayFrank 2,718 Posted June 12, 2019 I haven’t got a problem with those that were away season ticket holder or that did 10+ games getting first dibs but after that it’s just about who pays the most. Let’s say I buy the £30 membership and then the club announces there are 5k that bought premier. Either I’ve wasted my money or I’ve got to spend another £20 on top.

king canary 8,943 Posted June 12, 2019 The price cap is good. Everything else seems ill thought out. The high price of junior memberships, the fact a non season ticket holder can just pay £50 to jump the queue and the two tier system seems like it'll be pretty redundant if enough people buy premium membership.

It's Character Forming 1,211 Posted June 12, 2019 It seems basically sensible to me. Realistically our home fixtures next year are pretty much all going to sell out at £30, so they need a way to ration the casual sales. Ditto for away games at £30 a lot are going to be over-subscribed I think. Personally I think a home ST holder should be entitled to get away priority membership, if they're willing to stump up the £50. To put it in perspective, last Saturday I went to see Muse at the Etihad stadium which cost me nearly £80, and the tickets sold out in hours if not minutes when they went on sale. £30 for a Prem ticket really is a bargain.

Jobsworth Canary 168 Posted June 12, 2019 Yes you pay £50 to the club but the £30 cap for away games in the premier league means the non plastic away fan is much better off compared to the previously flawed scheme Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoola Han Solo 448 Posted June 12, 2019 Btw, this means that if you went to 9 away games last season, you are 1 off the 10 and in exactly the same position as someone who went to 0. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CDMullins 503 Posted June 12, 2019 Why money grabbing? You essentially get your £50 back, if you go to 3/4 games. Previous seasons, Old Trafford, Anfield etc have been £40/50+ As a 'casual' living in Leeds, who gets to most away games midlands up, this works well for me.

I think it is fair that season ticket holders might be a bit put out at having to pay an extra £50 to have a chance at getting an away ticket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
