Apologies, never thought about that. Your spot on.Why, because that will affect many genuine supporters. We bought two Junior season tickets for my 1 year old grandsons in the knowledge that they would be going regularly in a couple of years time. This season we have upgraded those ST to adult and senior matchday tickets and forwarded to other family members who are long standing BFC supporters going back 70 years or more but can't get to every home game. The grandsons have been to 3 games this season with the likelihood that number will double.
What is that percentage and would that include lounge seats etc?No. There is a PL requirement to make a percentage of tickets available to non-STHers.
Predictive textWe are told that any purchases using a Babees membership are scrutinised carefully. Also it's £5!
I met one person who did early season.Do you know anyone who has gone to a game via that method? The club tell me your ticket would be stopped.
I always like to say in context which I should have done earlier.....my boy used to say 'leave it dad'....he didn't on Wednesday....he also had the hump....it was all around us....but this particular fella was above and beyond what was ok.....his pals were embarrassed.
5%. It doesn't make it clear what 5% refers to, but it would seem reasonable for it to be 5% of the home tickets. So 17,500 - 1,750 = 15,250 * 5% = 762What is that percentage and would that include lounge seats etc?
Meetings are happening next week.I would like to know if the club actually know about our real concerns around this and if they actually care?
So they DO have room for more STHs5%. It doesn't make it clear what 5% refers to, but it would seem reasonable for it to be 5% of the home tickets. So 17,500 - 1,750 = 15,250 * 5% = 762
It could players and staff unbought allocation etc.I never understood why the club always has limited number of tickets available just before a home game. Where do these tickets appear from?

Same as TE tbh, if the seats are reserved it counts as being sold out.Yep that did enter my mind. But surely they should give a time limit for them to take up these tickets. I know one supporter whom has been faffing around earlier on this week trying to get a ticket. He has one now (through the TE) but not sure how he will react when he sees more tickets are available and the club selling these a day before the match. If the club says it is sold out it should mean it.

Is very annoying when you accept what you're given, to find out there's more seats available in the place you'd rather be though
As of now (half hour after release) 2 in W, 7 in S, 28 in a block in N and 98 across EastAgree with all that. I be interested to know if anyone can access it what part of the ground these tickets are and how many ..
A few will be people returning tickets because they can't make it. Had to do it twice this season myself with a family members tickets - circumstances in the day or so before the match meant they couldn't make it. It's super annoying for people who couldn't get tickets in original waves, or see a better spot free up, but I'd say still better the tickets get used in the end rather than an empty spot entirely.Yep that did enter my mind.

They are not going to sit and jointly plan with BIAS as they’ve made up their minds already.
BIAS’ role is to push back where possible when the full proposals are revealed. Sign up today for free and be part of the resistance. Numbers count. We need you.

To be honest, when we played at Chelsea away in the Cup replay a few years ago, my wife, son and I couldn't get home tickets - but we got tickets in the Chelsea end !!!?) We had a few nasty looks early on from a lad who looked like a 10-year old pitbull, so we kept very quiet. But we didn't disrespect anyone. As a result, I can't criticise people for doing the same as away fans at the BCS.I can see and have seen how it can cause but if a well behaved opposition fan can only get a ticket in a home section I don't believe it's a big problem. When away tickets are limited what choice do you have. My mates son got West Ham tickets for the away game and had a great time just had to smirk rather than go mental when we got the winner

.....do they keep a record of those ejected from various sections of the ground...be interesting to hear figures if so.Meetings are happening next week.
I’m now stoned
I know it's downgrading us, but sometimes you just have to bite the bullet.You really want to compare us to a 45,000 capacity stadium & global brand club aimed to have tourists
Simple. Ban themBees fans selling tickets to Man Utd fans doesn’t help
Joined shortly ago. Hopefully for those who can get to most games, something changes for the better in this regard.Brentford seats for Brentford fans. Keep reminding yourself of this.

Me too. Thanks for pushing this @rebusJoined(dunno why I hadn’t already)
@rebus, great work. Should there also be a dedicated thread headlined, “have you joined BIAS yet -if not why not?”Also could BU put something in their excellent newsletter (latest version received today)? John Scott has done a magnificent job relinking with their historic base, so there is a few thousand there to bat at.Fantastic. The more that join, the more they can’t ignore us. Imagine 4,000 members = impossible to ignore.
What will it take for Brentford to realize it will kick off sooner or later, ive spoken to the head of premium seating over the phone, to be honest i don't think she has a clue, in the conversation she just wouldn't acknowledge that its a problem, .. just hope i don't have to say " i told you so " to many timesWolves fans in hospitality today.
Read it on their forum.
£100 tickets and the club sold them to the boys with thick Black Country accents.
Mr Varney can stick his email where the sun doesn't shine.

I don't think you can get hospitality for £100, it must be a Premium Seat with lounge access. We'll need to keep our eyes and ears open.Wolves fans in hospitality today.

Given the BIAS recruitment drive, amid lots of discussions on club fair ticket pricing for next season , and club season ticket issuing and pricing strategy for next season, I thought I would check out what BIASs Manifesto says on the subject. The nearest I got to this, was the otherwise excellent para 6 on moving to BCS. (see below)
While it mentions ticketing (and there is a Ticket System subgroup), there is little else on this huge topic for debate. Should we as BIAS members be considering strengthening the Manifesto with respect to how we work with the club on future Ticketing policy ?
- work closely with Brentford Football Club to ensure a successful transition from Griffin Park to the new stadium at Lionel Road to include:
- the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic on the Club and our supporters including the safe return of fans to the new stadium in a fair and transparent way
- providing feedback to the Club on issues impacting the match day experience at the new stadium e.g. transport, technology, catering, ticketing, locations and atmosphere and provide feedback to the membership
- options for safe standing at the new stadium when full attendances are allowed at football matches
