    Our allocation for spurs game next month has now sold out, anyone left frustrated? Good to see every away game selling out at the moment hopefully club will take bigger allocations next season

    I imagine they've taken the max allocation. Also Sunderland away tickets are out on Wednesday to ST holders. So get one if you want to see our practice run at relegating imposter Saints.

    Oh for ****s sake. I'm really pissed that I can't get a ticket for this, despite going to more away games than most people. I don't care what other people think, the system is far too biased in favour of ST holders.

    Who would you rather relegate though? Sunderland or stoke? I would go for Sunderland personally then we can see how di canio celebrates. Think if we were 1-0 down, scored 2 late goals I would absolutely love if mauricio ran the whole length of the pitch to celebrate, just like di canio did at Newcastle. That would piss him right off

    I agree 100%. I had to get a season ticket holder to get me one for Swansea (very lucky)

    Next time an away game goes on sale to all season ticket holders, just get in contact with me or one of the many other willing donors.

    I'm gutted. Can't get to away games this year simply because they get snapped up by ST holders. Grrrr.

    I can't really see the system changing,as it probably makes the most economic sense for the club.

    Strange. I'm a season ticket holder but as I've only been to two away games so I had to wait my turn behind those that had been to three or more - irrespective of being a season ticket holder. Have you checked the order on the web site when the tickets are first announced?

    If anyone is interested in going to Sunderland with me I will be able book a ticket on Thursday in first priority window. Me and my brother have done 10 away games this season but he is unable to do this one. If interested just send me a pm and we can go from there

    Do ye think Sunderland will sell out seeing the distance it takes to get there? Flying over for it so hoping to pick up at least one

    Yes. I'm back of the queue. ST holders first, regardless of whether they've been to 10 away games or 0. Really annoys me.

    We looked at this and were fed up of watching Saints in Divvy 1 and Championship in the HOME end at our away games (its not fun) so we bit the bullet and bought ST for this season and have been to virtually all the away games and are off to Swansea and Spurs - so sadly that is the way to do it. Buy a ST

    STHs pay a large sum up front at the start of the season (or promise further instalments that they are liable to pay) and the way that the club see this, they spend more than non-STHs. However, somewhere in this there is scope for a system where as the season progresses, away fans who have spent more on tickets than STHs (of course with no consideration for travel and accommodation costs) should climb up the priority ladder and in many cases this will put them at the top.

    So how does that work?
    After you have spent £500 on away tickets you get priority?
