Newcastle Away

I get your point regarding tickets going to general sale ending up in opposing fans hands. Surely though even if tickets go on general sale they are still only allowed to be sold to account holder's who happen to not have any points?

If opposing fans (and by that, I really mean football tourists) want to get tickets for "our" away end, they will do so because they are prepared to pay whatever.
That means that there are those (surely, points holders) who unscrupulously sell their tickets on secondary markets for well over price.
There were football tourists at Anfield in the away section during the 9-0. There were two next to me who forced themselves to frown everytime Liverpool scored. I don't think that there were any at Sheffield United, though.

There will be a load of touts who are points holders by now. £30 price cap means it's the most profitable ticket you can tout I'd imagine.
 
Is there a central market for tickets? Over here, the biggest one is stub hub, but when I look on stub hub UK all I see are Manchester City or Manchester United tix.
Where is the secondary market which is referred to?

Forget this, just found a whole bunch on stubhub ie.

Also football ticket net. Big money, though.
 
My Newcastle tickets turned up yesterday, they were attached to my Swansea tickets in one long strip. I've never been to an away game with a ticket that's been printed at Dean Court?

That will not be the match ticket
Normally that would be printed out when they are awaiting the actual tickets from away club and not to send to you what you have received
You would need to contact ticket office to get them to send out correct ticket

Setting aside the Newcastle tickets situation there are 3 "players" at the club all on an ego power trip to ensure they make a mark.

Cowboy Jim we all know about quite happy to trample over anyone to make a fast buck.Liz Finney's ex copper replacement trying to justify walking about with his clipboard as Operations Manager and the new ticket supremo. The poor front line staff are as always in the firing line facing the public.

A few things to understand about the Newcastle ticket situation. We announced an initial allocation of up to 2,200 tickets for the fixture at Newcastle. However, we are required to provide a final allocation selection to the host club a month prior to the match. A purchase opportunity was offered to all Cherries supporters with away points earned the last 2 seasons (over 13,000 people). After all 13,000 away supporters with points had the option, we had only sold 1,100 tickets. By the time we had to decide per Premier League rules to return tickets, to commit to another roughly 1,000+ tickets that the club would be largely financially responsible for if they went unsold after already going on sale to all 13,000 Cherries supporters with away points was not supported by the data available to us. This data includes an open survey we sent to points holders at the start of the season to gauge demand for away fixtures, and our sales total for the Newcastle fixture last season (1,114).

Every supporter with an away point over the last 2 years had an opportunity to purchase this fixture before the club reached the deadline to return tickets. It would have been irresponsible of us to have taken that risk based on all the data, past history, and the fact less than 10% (1,100) out of 13,000 away points holders purchased for the match.

This year we have made it a priority to get as many away tickets in our supporters hands as possible. We have seen many more matches where we have taken larger blocks this season versus last season. This one just didn’t logically make sense to do.

On an unrelated note, I don’t even own a cowboy hat, the ex-copper doesn’t carry a clipboard, and Nick is absolutely a supremo.

Up the Cherries!

If you'd have put all tickets/blocks on sale from the start we would have sold more than 1,100 in a week. People were waiting for the better seats to go on sale.

1114 was sold last season. What makes you think we would double that this season?

So the schedule for buying tickets isn't worth putting of the website because your can pull the number of tickets.
What happens when fans want to sit with friends with lower point numbers and hold off buying their ticket, only to find that ( without notice - like the safe standing ) the make the decision by the club and we just have to suck it up.
Shame about the hat.....................

The home clubs, Newcastle in this case, dictate which blocks we are allowed to put on sale first. Wasn’t our option.

The schedule and returns timing is subject to the league processes. Been that way for years I’m told. Sitting with friends with lower points was possible for this fixture as we did reach the 1+ points drop. So anyone with points on the +1 drop had access to tickets to sit with friends. Unfortunately it only impacted general sale. And had we had indication we could double our sales after all 13,000 away points holders had access, we would have. Every match for the bigger away grounds and allotments, this is always a possibility. Sales demand will need to be there to justify taking the largest allotments. We’d love it every match to be full.
I agree, shame about the hat. I’ll have to research.
