What happens if you couldn’t make the checkatrade game due to the early k.o but haven’t missed another game? Could still miss out.
ST holders first is usually the easiest way
A lot of clubs have a loyalty points scheme were season ticket holders get a point for every away and cup game they attend and when popular matches go on sale, they get first dabs. However, unless demand regularly exceeds supply then it becomes a pointless exercise. If Blackpool away is going to be a potential flashpoint then sell to season ticket holders only – they are the ones with most to lose if they misbehave.
It’s simple Donny, first dabs go to the fans that show the most commitment to the club, and that is the season ticket holders.
They are the ones that fork out up front before they even know who will be playing for the club and that loyalty deserves preferential treatment when it comes to away tickets.
There should be some kind of perk for non season ticket holders who travel the length and breadth of the country to away matches but most are probably season ticket holders anyway.But surely fans who traveled to Charlton in midweek and the many others who travel to away games week in week out should have preference to anyone, season ticket holders or not.
I think the main motivation rather than commitment for purchasing a season ticket for most is the cost. Would we have sold 6500 or so this season if season tickets had been £500-00 plus?
Like I said though the vast majority of supporters who saw the two Blackpool games and league games away will be season ticket holders anyway so season ticket holders who have been to away games or cup games should take preference for tickets when there is a potential demand and that should be limited to one each.[/quote]
The main motivation for buying a season ticket for most people is commitment. When you buy a ticket you are guaranteed your usual seat and you’re in it for the season – good or bad. The alternative is to buy tickets ad-hoc, but when it’s not going too well, or if you can’t make it, you don’t buy a ticket – and the club doesn’t benefit from this.Likewise, people who travelled to Charlton bought tickets off Charlton – not Wigan.
Therefore, those who support Wigan Athletic financially should get priority – ie. like Horc says, the season ticket holders.
Then when they’ve had their window, it should go to those with a history of away game purchases.
All good points being made and under normal circumstances right but at the end of the day even with 2100 Wigan fans there the stadium will be nearly empty and many Latics fans who want to go will miss out needlessly. What allocation has all the clubs who have been to Cesspool had?.

So you don’t think that season ticket holders who have an history of following Latics away should have first choice then?

No, I do agree with that.It should be:
Season ticket holders with away game history
Season ticket holders
People with away game history but no season ticketWhy would the club put a complicated ticket priority system in place for something that is only an issue once or twice a season?
I don’t buy into this “I go to most aways but I don’t have a season ticket”.

Well that’s fair enough, can’t argue with that.Still 200 left, best get your skates onAnd to think when I queued up on Tuesday morning I was worried I wouldn’t get a ticket.
