Often I don't know until quite late on if I can get to a match, so am unlikely to be in the 9.00 rush on a certain day to get a ticket. I don't begrudge the success and that more people will want tickets, but I do think that exiles are doubly penalised by having to get two £50 memberships - and still may not get tickets. Equally that applies to people living right next to the ground if they're not season ticket holders Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TIL 1010 4,718 Posted June 15, 2019 On 14/06/2019 at 09:13, Highland Canary said: I’m not sure that the points system was so broken that it needed complete replacement. In respect of charging for membership aren’t the club subsidising the cost above £30 so it is only those attending very infrequently that are adversely affected? The cliff edge of 10 games or more for the away guarantee does seem unfair to me, however, especially if you’ve attended say nine matches last season. A graded approach seems fairer. For those of us in the 750 I guess we have to assume that attending 10+ or more will keep us in the group for 2020/21 but knowing the rules of that game would be helpful to know now. But, it’s important to remember, in our last PL season there were very few matches where we sold our away allocation - beyond Bournemouth, Watford (small allocations) and the obvious London hot spots I suspect that will be the same this season. Indeed, few away matches were sold out this season excepting during the run in. Highland if you are talking about the club subsidising away tickets above £30 that is a nonsense as £30 is a EPL ruling and you cannot be charged more than £30 away from home with or without a membership scheme.

TIL 1010 4,718 Posted June 15, 2019 I have taken this from a mum who has posted on Facebook. Every last penny is being screwed from supporters and i bet this is not the last of it. Watch out for a programme price rise and in catering no doubt about it in my book. My 12 year old son has just received the new brochure for the membership scheme. All he wants to do is attend every home match and go over to carrow park before going to the match to kick some balls. After looking at the brochure I have taken the following from it. In 2017-18 season carrow park was free before each home match. In 18-19 you had to pay £10 for the season to use it. In 19-20 it is now £25 to do this if you were a member last season (£35 if you are a new member). What a rip off. This facility should be free before each match to both home and away supporters.

I remembering it being free and busy, as my younger son and friend use to love playing their before a game. It is very disappointing that the price is now so much considering the weather, less home games and it not being open during cup games (I may be mistaken there) makes that opportunity much more limited. Very disappointing indeed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king canary 7,578 Posted June 16, 2019 The Carrow Park stuff is just shabby at this point. As far as I'm aware though the car parking is still free- think there was a misunderstanding that the club listed it as a VIP benefit (probably to make the VIP package look better) which led to people thinking it wouldn't be free for non-VIP's.

You missed off priority access for match tickets, which is kind of the point. The rest is just a “bonus”. Although I can’t remember the last time I wore a tie, and I work in a job where I wear a suit regularly and visit customers weekly. So not sure what I’ll do with the tie pin.

Last season I had priority access to match tickets, cost £30 (no tie pin, key ring or scarf) This season I have priority access to match tickets, cost £100, tie pins/key ring & scarf included. So YES I do feel I've been done over. But I guess I must remember I am a plastic binner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wcorkcanary 4,329 Posted July 18, 2019 This season's scheme has just about put the kaibosh on the couple of home games that I can attend each season, flights, car hire etc etc all add up. The extra cost of membership has pretty much broke the Camels back. I'll still visit the mammy on home matchday weekends and hope I can connect with someone who can't make the game.
