Feeling my membership is worth jack

[QPR Richard]

I promise you that you will still be impressed with the view in the upper tier mate and if anything they are possibly the best seats apart from those on the half way line

This'll be my 12th trip to Wembley and having sat all over the place, would agree with what you say.

[gravesendhoop]

Yeah I am mate. Got a membership but want to for me and my best mate. Both lifelong rangers fans

[ArthurQPR_NYC]

Got a membership so have a ticket but should a friend of season ticket holder get priority in their choice of seat over a member who goes regularly home and away? In my opinion no they shouldn't, they should have made it one ticket per season ticket or allowed season ticket holders to buy tickets for members at the same time.

this is why im a bit annoyed, loads of my ST mates are buying for johnny come latelys

how are the club supposed to know the difference between ST holders who might be buying for plastics vs members who might be buying for sons/family? Surely you two aren't suggesting that the club start collecting personal information on who 2nd tickets are going to? serious privacy violations there

[SM3 Ranger]

Why is it a joke? Your son isn't a member, why should he get priority over members?

They have guaranteed every STH & Member a ticket, which is what it's all about. They have rewarded our most loyal fans (STH's) with an extra ticket for their support and loyalty, which in 99% of cases, I'd imagine will be given to a family member or friend who supports Rangers. They then do the same for members subject to availability.

They've got it bang on in my opinion. People are only annoyed if they haven't got a ST or Membership but from the clubs point of view, people with a ST or Membership are the people who should be at Wembley.

Spot on, no matter how the club did this there would always be those who feel aggrieved.
I believe all of those that really want to gom, will by hook or by crook get a ticket,perhaps not in the exact location they may want but hey wherever you sit just enjoy the day out!

[ArthurQPR_NYC]

I suppose that for those with a multitude of children, nothing would have been fair.

haha. this!

[Sotonsuperhoop]

Cant quite believe this

QPR at Wembley for the first time in 28 years and people are moaning that because they don't have an ST or membership for every member in their party the buying options are a joke, get a life.

Memberships were £10 (from Jan) and any supporter who is serious about our club would have looked at the table, looked at the current form and thought "hey at this rate its play-offs, might as well get membership as it will guarantee me a ticket should we get to Wembley' its not rocket science, and i'm not buying all this 'cant afford a tenner', cut down on the 20 pints you drink on a Friday night, cut down on the cigs, eat beans on toast for a week instead of steak, life can be a little easier at times if your humble enough.

I agree with 2 for a ST holder and one per member, my only gripe is that members and ST holders couldn't buy at the same time, so in my family/friends we are sitting in the same block but a couple of rows apart as we bought some on Weds and some today. Come 24th we'll all sit together just ask a few others to swap seats or move along a little.

The op should perhaps think again before having a go at the club.

Got 2 tickets, up in the roof somewhere. Gotta get 2 more tomorrow, hopefully near the others and I can swap seats with somebody so that we can sit together.

Missing the point Arthur, season tickets holders get to buy two tickets before members, so they can buy for mates who have never been, or worst still to sell on before a member who attends regularly gets to choose a seat. Result being the better seats go to individuals who aren't real fans, which can't be right.

Surely it's all about "being there" as part of a 40k strong army?

What you say is not wrong, however what could be done about it or how should it be?

[Factamondo]

sadly the way tickets are sold will please some and annoy others...i hope everyone who wants to go gets there somehow!

[kenthoop]

You pay £40 max for a membership, and you can buy a Wembley ticket, what's wrong with that?

Just think a little more thought would have avoided a lot of problems. Small change but if you are allowing two tickets for season ticket holders make that option only available if they are buying them for members or those on the Dara base as having purchased tickets previously. That way only genuine fans get first chance at tickets and as most members will know a season ticket holder would have seen the majority of genuine fans get the seats they want and deserve for the cold nights away up north.

Will always be some that don't get what they want but the current policy will see lot of one a season wonders or even touts get hold of good seats at the expense of genuine fans.
