Bournemouth tickets (5 Viewers)

It was... Ryan Dean actually had 25 of them when I bought 3 off him for £300

You would think for a club who were in the Premier League until 2020, their tickets would not be handwritten on a piece of A4 paper?!!

I gave him a tug and got £270 for 3

If you'd all just stop moaning for a minute as it seems we have a separate allocation. If you speak with James Raffell he has contacted Bournemouth and got 500 extra and is putting on coach packages with each of them priced at £50 incl transport.

You lot may not be as bad as him but you're still happily fucking over other fans for your own gain.

We can only hope but until the club acknowledges this by taking them away it won’t change

That's going happen. Strangely enough the club has just advertised a job that deals with things like this.

You lot??? I may have been defending some of the crap they've been accused of, but I'm not part of it. And certainly don't ever tar me with a brush akin to someone who took fans hard earned and didn't provide.

The fairest way forward is Away season tickets, we attend most and would happily buy one. This may be a small allocation but most of those complaining won't have any desire to go to Sheffield, Huddersfield, Boro etc when there will be plenty. Some are genuine who travel all over and have possibly missed out, they have my sympathy, but why should someone who just fancies a day out at Bournemouth have a ticket at the expense of someone who was there midweek at smaller grounds in L2? Yes we have more fans all of a sudden but in the same way you all think season tickets offer some entitlement over other fans, surely those who have travelled most and are st holders should have first dibs? I'm all for a fairer system but could easily be points based like the England away fans do and I imagine most of the people on those said allocations would all be eligible too.

I think everyone wants a fair system, not a system where supporters clubs from Leamington get tickets before they go on sale

I think they stopped them a few years ago and I heard it was down to the GDPR rules (might be wrong on that though).

Just thinking aloud, but unsure in my mind how either of these would work
1. Away season ticket - is it just like membership, but you still have to commit to purchase an away ticket for every match, if not how would they know the price of all the games (or would you get some kind of discount for the season ticket), again how would that work with all of the away ticket money going to the other club
2. Points based system, unless this is really though out, and even then I think you will have people moan, for instance do you get less points for say travelling to 3 long distance games on rainy midweek nights, as against someone who travels to 4 local rivals all on Saturdays
Still haven't a clue how to make it completely fair, someone will always lose out or moan that they are disadvantaged

3. Are points for people from Leamington doubled?

The away season ticket literally used to be a box you ticked on the season ticket application form. You'd then be issued with, and charged for, a ticket for each away game as and when they became available.

I can't see the club implementing a points based system for one or two games a season where demand is greater than supply. The administrative overhead wouldn't be worth it. Not to mention the potential for it to go wrong. We have a constant string of complaints now and that's with a pretty simple system, make it more complicated and the problems will increase. Imagine the arguments about how many points are allocated to certain games and how many points you need to buy a ticket!

If you’ve had a ticket for a restricted away attendance say Luton and your STphase 1 then the next restricted away attendance say Bournemouth your back of the queue so other phase 1/2 have first dibs .
There’re only a few away grounds we have this problem with , pretty much all the other away venues we have enough to go around .

Don’t like the response cause it doesn’t favour you?

What are your thoughts on the team or matches Dan? Or did you only join the forum to go on about this ad nauseum (and yes I agree a fair system needs implementing - just no need for sh*te about Leamington farmers/true fans - no, I'm not a Leamington farmer)

Correct, you’re effectively guaranteeing tickets to the privileged few for games that the rest of us have no guarantees on and thus battle it out on Ticketmaster and queue outside the club shop for… and often miss out on.

I can’t believe we’re 22 pages along and some people can’t yet grasp this.


The ones that can´t grasp it almost certainly fit into one of the below categories:

1) Are a member of one of these supporter clubs
2) Don´t go to many games

5000 allocation for WBA or 1300 for Bournemouth, they should get in line with the other fans. It’ll be a joke if this is still in place next season.

I enjoy both mate, but feel like the fairer system debate needed bringing up

Get over it and be "proactive" when the tickets go on sale. If you can't get one, tough. Get on with life.
If you'd actually bothered to read the tread you'd see that people were "proactive" and yet still didn't get a ticket while people who weren't proactive got special treatment.

You from the villages as well?

If the village folk hadn't acted like proper nobs then you'd have a point.
