Season ticket waiting list

[Pompey55]

All 500 half season tickets have been sold taking the total season ticket holders to 15000
The club have now started a waiting list for when seats become available at a cost of £40 on first come first served basis

Hopefully that bridge gets sorted soon.

I never thought about getting a ST before but judging how hard it is getting away games I’m almost tempted to buy one next year just so I can and try and sell the tickets I can’t get to the home games for.

I nearly bought a half season ticket knowing that I can probably only got to 2 or 3 more home games this season, but I decided that I was just depriving others of going to games because I can afford to not go to games I've paid for and decided that was wrong.

Unfortunately, it's getting harder and harder for me to watch Pompey. Going to Burton tomorrow though.

There is no need to deprive people of your seat as you can put it on the ticket exchange if not needed and receive a fiver towards next season’s ticket

It potentially stops people sitting together - and as someone who this impacts at present it's a pain in the ****.

The problem is Sam that buying a season ticket doesn't actually guarantee you a ticket at an away game, though it obviously does help. A season ticket purchased for 2023-2024 earned you 23 points, 1 for each home game and if you buy an away ticket you get two points. For the closer away matches, with low allocations, you are now needing around 50-60 bonus points to be able to purchase when they first go on sale, meaning those with 25-30 points could feasibly miss out. I know naughty little tinkers buying tickets to games they don't even go to just to build their points, for example, home or away games in the EFL Trophy.

Good points SB. Cheers. Ironically the only game I did actually manage to get to last season at home was the EFL game against Stevenage as I was in the area with work!

50-60 points that’s a laugh
They have just announced Bristol Rovers ticket sales for Boxing Day 750 tickets available starting at 70 bl**dy points then 50/41
Doubt if it will even get to the 50 point level
Will be interesting to see the next which is 1300 at Exeter and where that starts
I’d like to know who actually decides these thresholds is it the club or supporter representatives

It's Rovers the lowest away allocation of the season?

Welcome to world of anyone without a season ticket...

Actually it pretty much doesn’t affect us as we have high point totals it is just starting to in my view be unfair to people building up points who constantly see the bar going higher and higher

Yes at 750 that’s why I said the Exeter thresholds will be interesting as in theory they should drop back down to high 50s
As you might see I have raised my concerns with the supporters group poster on this forum

[Sam_Brown]

It’s a difficult one. You want to reward the fans that make it to all the games and I think it would be unfair to stop someone who goes to a lot of games consistently from getting a ticket but as 55 says for those of us who don’t have the option to get to as many games as we’d want it is frustrating not to be able to get tickets. Hopefully when we go up they’ll be more scope for away tickets due to going to bigger clubs. I do think a % should be reserved for supporter groups but I think that’s the case anyway isn’t it?

[Pompey55]

Sam please don’t get me started again on supporter groups getting an allocation before they go on sale thus some people could more easily build up loyalty points without missing out due to the lack of them
Yes they always did last season but looking at the ticket quantity on the website and the allocation recently that doesn’t appear to be the case this season
I sure someone else will know

[Pompey55]

Looks like Bristol tickets were still available at second threshold and Exeter thresholds have dropped back to 60 start so it might be working better than I thought
