    That would be an expensive upfront payment

    No, your card gets debited game by game, but you do have to commit to all away matches.

    Just noticed that the Morecambe tickets have gone on sale today to priority card holders only, but go on sale to all ST holders on Monday AM. Therefore priority card holders only have today and up to tomorrow lunchtime to make use of their exclusivity

    I don't have a priority ticket myself, but is this a long enough window considering the game is a whole month away?

    I have priority membership but quite honestly money don't grow on trees.
    Ridiculously short period of sale.

    According to the Morecambe ticket office they say around 1,800 away tickets will be available for that game.

    A lot of clubs just give a day for their priority people and then step down

    Well hopefully I'll be able to get hold of a ticket, get in that morning and might just have time to get there. We'll see.

    Cheers for the heads on morecambe tickets, normally Monday before these go on sale. Out of the uk at the moment so wasn’t aware tickets on sale. Sadly, missing Walsall- sh1t.hole. Last season turning point for us.

    Scheme is a great idea if you go to most away games. You can plan travel or overnight stays in advance and pay less . Appreciate tight budgets, but away games are far more expensive than a home season ticket. One good weekend can be more than £150. You do see the same faces at away games so can’t be that bad.

    Out of curiosity how long a period of sale do you suggest? The fixture list was published in June. Why is it a ridiculously short period? Priority holders get a window before ST's.

    All the ticket does is guarantee a chance before season ticket holders. They have done that. Surely if people are planning on going they will have already have budgeted for it.

    Maybe someone could suggest the club send an email out to all priority holders when announcements are made then they will all know

    Its a ticket for the football, the way some go on you'd think they'd been hit with an unexpected tax bill.

    Three day window.
    Friday ticket office shut when finished work.
    Saturday morning only sales at VP
    Closed Sunday.
    Three days priority on line that's short in my book.
    Just for the record I purchased Saturday on line but still feel a week would have been more appropriate length of time for Priority followed by Season Ticket holders.

    It may well be that Morecambe released the tickets late. Can you confirm the time from the initial release of tickets to Priority holders and the actual game, in other matches. Priority holders still get a privilege, know when the games are and have an opportunity to get a ticket before ordinary Season Ticket Holders. Seems reasonable to me.

    A game like Scunthorpe or Morecambe should in theory sell out to the priority card holders before sale to the rest, which just goes to show many buy these cards for the one off events like Chelsea etc.
    I bet about around 400 people make over 95% of all games in a season the other 1,600 or so priority cards are just to escape the lottery of queuing with the rest of the season ticket holders.
