    Just been down to the ticket office for the Rochdale game speaking to Mick he said the Harrogate priority tickets will be on a first come first served basis I'd say that's the fairest way wouldn't you @Loyalbantam@Loyalbantam.

    Well of course you’d say that but someone who’s been to every away game this season (not me) might have a different view.
    One thing they shouldn’t do is have an online queue and also people queuing at the office. Got to be one or the other

    The clue is in the wording. Priority does not equate to guarantee, it only prioritises you over someone who doesn't meet the criteria for being a priority, eg. someone who doesn't have a priority ticket. Without reading terms and conditions I'd make an educated guess in those terms and conditions that nowhere does it state that having a priority ticket guarantees you a ticket.

    Why would I say that, if as you say someone has been to every away game and they haven't got the sense to buy a priority ticket I'd suggest they missed a trick to put if politely, some might say a dumb move.
    I have priority tickets like yourself so this season all priority ticket holders should have the same chance as any other priority ticket holder.
    As I posted the ticket office manager says its first come first served.

    Don’t worry I know the T & C’s. You don’t have to explain it. However with the priority points scheme now been running for half a season I don’t see any reason why the club couldn’t offer a ticket to the priority members who also have the most accumulated points so far. That would be the fairest way.
    Or even just the top 100 and leave the rest as first come first served

    I’m talking about someone who has priority and also has been to every game. Those fans could miss out and you somehow think that’s fair but hey ho

    Dare I ask how many away games you’ve attended this season @Bronco@Bronco

    Becuase that would not be fair on those who purchased a priority ticket. The rules of the game this season don't include how many games you've been to, no use bitching about it. Next season will be a fair system based on games attended, this season its based on that priority ticket which to be fair would work for nearly every game this season. I can't get a ticket for Harrogate, but hey, I have far more important things in life to worry about.

    Of course its fair, they bought a ticket under the same conditions as I did they know the score, if the terms had been (the club take into consideration the number of away games priority ticket holders have attended) then that’s a completely different ball game.
    You reply to @Rogered Tart@Rogered Tart saying you understand the terms and then accuse me of not being fair, you say do Ithink it's fair of course it is the terms when purchasing a priority ticket suggest just that, unbelievable Jeff

    Just because someone has been to every away game, they shouldn't have the right to automatically attend the next. The number of away games is irrelevant. Those who get tickets should be 1) Those who shelled out for a loyalty card 2) Those who make the effort, as soon as the tickets go on sale, to get one (assuming they have a priority card). Any thing else isn't relevant.

    The counter argument to yours is that someone who has been to every game should stop being greedy/ precious and allow others the chance.

    That said I agree with you that it must be either queue at the office or queue on line, not both. Logic suggests that for such a limited availability it should be queue at the office and take your chance, that way those who suffer technical issues have as much chance as those who drive down to the office and queue.

    With such limited supply if tickets were sold online and at the office I’d suggest you’d need to be in the first 3 in the ticket office queue to have any chance at all

    It's realy not that difficult to decipher, every Bradford City fan knew potentially there would be 3 away games that could not accomadate our away support so if anyone wanted to give themselves the best chance of attending those games a "priority ticket" was a no brainer.

    No argument with that. Buy the ticket then where the capacity is less than 1,000 take your chance. Simple really. If you only bought the loyalty card intending to go to one match, it's irrelevant. You paid your money.

    Exactly why these tickets shouldnt be sold online.

    Like I say, I don’t need assistance deciphering the rules, I’m just saying they’re wrong and just because rules were made pre season doesn’t mean they can’t be amended.
