After looking at Town releasing tickets for Rochdale tomorrow I must say I was a little staggered by a conversation I had with someone regarding what he was allegedly told by the club.
I was discussing how they had made it reserved seating this time round and rightly so after last seasons debacle. This person who IS NOT a season ticket holder was told he can buy one tomorrow even though he is only a 'On the Move Agent' that sells 20 tickets per week. This person gets a free home match ticket every week and now it seems gets first dibs on away tickets ??? Surely thats not fair is it ? All he has to do is put his sheet up in the pub and doesnt pay any money into the club at all, gets a free home ticket every week and now first dibs on away tickets.
Its quite possible that those tickets for Rochdale go in a couple of days and some ST holders could potentially miss out, thoughts ?? Hope im not coming across bitter but I spend a lot on HTFC every year and this spends nothing ???
Opinions ?

I don't think we'll sell them out before they go on general sale so everyone who wants a ticket should be able to get one.

We owe Rochdale one...well 3 actually..be a good measure against last seasons effort, although Rochdale are weaker this year I think, plus manager has gone.

Got mine too,my mate bought them over the phone.We should have a decent following,to be honest I can't imagine us not selling out especially after we've given Bury a serious kicking.

Oh yeah and can't you get a free season ticket if you become a lottery agent or summat?Not sure if there is a minimum quota you've got to sell.But if its true,its a right racket that is.First dibs on away tickets should always go to season ticket holders who are lottery members and so on.Got to be some benefit to being a season ticket holder.

I know a lottery agent and they have been offered a season ticket in the lower riverside !
I agree Arty it cant be hard for the club to impement a better allocation system considering all the information they hold,
