Jackash was one of the guys who we all applauded when he travelled to Sheff Utd in the snow and also to Ipswich and a few others. So on that note i do feel for him, especially when you consider the ones who have never set foot in the liberty nevermind travel away(apart from wembley). As for the £29 offer, 68 season tickets were put back on sale this morning due to people not passing the credit rating, but thats no good to fans who have queued for hours and left to go home. The clubs handling have not been very good at all since promotion was gained. Still, you will have the ones who got their tickets so i'm alright jack(coz they got one for friends who never been before) and then you have ones who will side with people like jackash for example.
Naddom - Cheers for that mate. Shame the club can't look back at what games I went to away (Sheff Utd, Ipswich, Scunthorpe, Boro being the furthest). They may then take into consideration that there are loyal Jacks out there, and maybe reward them. Maybe giving first refusal to us who have shown our worth when trying to buy general sale tickets.
I'm on your side on this one Jackash. I wonder how all these people would feel if next year exsisting season ticket holders had no priority to renewal.
You are not making much sense here, there are stadiums in the premier league that has a huge allocation for away supporters, there are two thousand tickets available for home games, JackAsh never bought a season ticket anyway, where is the loss for loyal support? It will make getting tickets in the new season harder yes, but certainly not impossible. Really its not i'm alright jack screw everyone else, I simply renewed my season ticket in March, and the fans who did this over the last 3 months are the winners here, they are the ones parting with cash early to ensure a place, we have been in the playoff zone practically all season, surely a widely advertised offer should have been snapped up! I don't by the way, buy all this loyalty garbage in this case sorry, people were given a chance to buy tickets, its up to them to heed the warnings from the club that tickets were selling fast.
Jager, are you not reading what I write? What if I had bought a ST in March, but then my boss wouldn't allow me timee off, and I could only attend say 5 gamees, where is the sense in that? You need to see the bigger picture and the reasons alot of loyal fans didn't.
You are still not making sense sorry, there are 2k tickets available for each home game, you have a phone, you have access to the internet, these tickets will be sold as first come first served, the season tickets have been sold on demand, being promoted means that they must make 10% of the stadium available for away fans, and 10% for match day tickets, I can't see where you are getting screwed sorry, the situation is the same for other games all of last season, except the allocation for match day is lower
I make full sense. I am pissed off, like many, at the fact some 5 thousand fans have suddenly appeared and bought ST's. Where were they last year? Or could it be they just want to see huge clubs in Swansea........Because i think that is the reason. IF I get tickets next year, I will be one very happy guy. We shall see. I don't want to fall out with anyone, I just want people to see it from our poiints of view.
Success will attract , you ask for example blackpool fans where all their fans appeared from last season, you ask qpr fans where all of a sudden 3k or 4k fans appeared from this season, really I am sorry you are pissed off, I have no idea why as I thought you would want our club to be successful, you weren't going to buy a season ticket anyway, you have just got to be wiser when buying match day tickets next season that is all. And in answer to your where were they last year, who knows? Guess if you go around all of them they will have their excuses, like maybe hubby wants his family to come now, or people like you who buy tickets individually have decided to buy a season ticket now, there are a lot of reasons, but to criticise them will get you nowhere I am afraid.
I am not criticising you mate, I am lucky I have a job that gives me the weekends off, there was a time when I couldn't go to weekday games because of work, and we went through a phase where I could swear that every game was played every day but a saturday, and I missed a load of games even though I bought a season ticket.
Jager you do seem to be missing the point, or skirting around it, the issue is not whether some supporters where quick enough in grabbing a season ticket when they were on offer (By the way sold to cheap too, but that's another issue), but the fact that the club have virtually made the whole ground a ST affair, and that has caught a lot of Jacks out, there has always been an equitable split in ST and Tickets, but due to the Squad bonus, this has forced out the ticket sales to the required minimum, and that situation was not advertised by the club, no where have I found early in the season ST sales, any statement from the club that they were going to leave just 2000, it's even been reported that this could be 1500, now if you can show me where the club made clear statements that this was going to be the situation, then fine, but I doubt you can, and please don't muddy the waters, by coming back to me and saying the club, gave warnings that ST were running out, because that is not the same thing!.............. please log in to view this image
Phil It was going to happen, the writing was on the wall over a number of months, the point is that they are trying to sell as many tickets as possible, I remember that we sold 10k one season when we came up from league 1, and everyone was chuffed to bits, now they have sold 16k and people should be pleased! I will return your question, where has the club made statements to say that they won't try and sell as many season tickets as possible? JackAsh or anyone else can try and buy tickets like they have always done, over the phone and on the net, difference is they must buy smart and get in as tickets come on sale if he wants to go. And Phil I am sorry you seem to be missing the point, Swansea City is a business, in order for us to run, we must sell our product which are football tickets to see games, by buying in advance it means you get to see all home games, it gives the club additional funding to buy player like Graham if it comes off, and to pay existing players a bonus and pay rise, we haven't just been given £40m to play around with, that comes spread out over the season.

Fingers crossed it won't be first come first served at the ticket office for match day tickets, would prove a problem for many live away fans if they implement a personal collection only policy that was in place for the play-offs?
Serious proposition for anyone interested. I'm looking for people to come in with me on an executive box. I missed out on an ST and this is my only option now.
