So..

1000 away season tickets of which you apply for based on number of games attended the previous season. (waiting list). If not attended at least 75% of games or allowed your ticket to be resold your season ticket is taken away the following year.

2000 away memberships. Based on a lucky dip. Put your name down and if over 2000 people apply names will be drawn from a hat. £50 each given first shot at tickets.

General sale.

Not everyone of the 2000 memberships will be going for tickets for every game.

Club already says it checks against a database of previous purchasers to prevent other fans accessing tickets.

Rival fans if wanting to sit in the norwich end to watch their team would have to pay £50 + £30 for one game.

Why any rival fan would want to spend that much watching their top 6 club against newly promoted norwich beats me.

        Of course. Just highlighting that your opinion has already been said (NCFC) - Basingstoke_Canary_J, Jul 24, 11:07:07
        
        This is the first time the new away ticketing system has been put into use. (NCFC) - maidstoneyellow, Jul 24, 11:18:22
        
        Fair enough. Just wondering is this a year long thing (n/m) (NCFC) - Basingstoke_Canary_J, Jul 24, 11:19:28
        
        I doubt it. I think the first few away games was always going to generate ill-feeling (n/m) (NCFC) - maidstoneyellow, Jul 24, 11:24:19
        
        And i guess every top 6 game throughout the year. (n/m) (NCFC) - Basingstoke_Canary_J, Jul 24, 11:29:16
        
        Because today is the first stark example of how many fans have been screwed over (NCFC) - Jim, Jul 24, 11:15:52
        
        Can't blame the club for people purchasing membership's for first shot at tickets (NCFC) - Basingstoke_Canary_J, Jul 24, 11:21:58
        
        how would your suggestion (NCFC) - CWC, Jul 24, 11:32:48
        
        So.. (NCFC) - Basingstoke_Canary_J, Jul 24, 11:41:37
        
        I'm sorry, is there now a limit (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Jul 24, 11:11:18
        
        If it matters that much to you then why are you not outside the club shop (NCFC) - Basingstoke_Canary_J, Jul 24, 11:17:02
        
        No. It’s to make money. Pure and simple. Nothing to do with discouraging opposition fans (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Jul 24, 14:54:43
        
        It isn't clear the reason for £50 membership is to stop fans from other clubs buying (NCFC) - maidstoneyellow, Jul 24, 11:23:28
        
        It wouldn't of been a £50 lottery ticket (NCFC) - Basingstoke_Canary_J, Jul 24, 11:31:40
        
        Your understanding (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Jul 24, 11:21:24
        
        Then you haven't done a very good job at explaining it. (n/m) (NCFC) - Basingstoke_Canary_J, Jul 24, 11:22:25
        
        I am negatively affected by the changes (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Jul 24, 11:28:41
        
        And so am I (NCFC) - Basingstoke_Canary_J, Jul 24, 11:33:07
    - well using the example ingi describes, he is an exile who pays money for lots of away game (NCFC) - Charles21, Jul 24, 10:58:22
      - that was not ingi's example (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Jul 24, 11:08:16
      - The argument from him there is that you already have a guarnteed ticket (NCFC) - Basingstoke_Canary_J, Jul 24, 11:01:31
  - This board usually favours assaults on entrenched privilege and broadening opportunities (NCFC) - Old Git, Jul 24, 10:38:49
    - Challenging the privilege obtained by buying football tickets for many years in a row (NCFC) - Arizona Bay, Jul 24, 12:00:55
    - Fair point but a bit facile to equate sporting interest with generational privilege... (NCFC) - APB, Jul 24, 11:30:49
      - A guaranteed seat to watch all home games. That is the service you have paid for (n/m) (NCFC) - Basingstoke_Canary_J, Jul 24, 11:43:02

- You both now have an equal chance to get a tickets. (NCFC) - Basingstoke_Canary_J, Jul 24, 10:21:48
  - The answer is in your post...'equal' (n/m) (NCFC) - neverblue, Jul 24, 11:52:21
