Membership 2024 / 25 Season

[Username.]

So all the people who are having a go at Everton over this which way would you have done it.

 

[The binman chronicles]

The thing is about it is that the 15+ home game priority crap I'd it does absolutely nothing to stop touts. It makes the situation 10 times worse. It breeds a culture of the same folk buying the home and away tickets every week and then flogging them when they can't go.
I know plenty of folk that make sure they get every away ticket to make sure they stay top of the list for the games they want and then sell the other ones.
This is an absolute joke by Everton, how have this club got any fans. Worst run club I'm the UK.

My understanding is it was the FAB that helped come up with those numbers. Nothing like a bit of I'm alright Jack. Doesn't take into account how long you've been a member for or how many cup games you might have gone to. Nice that the fan advisory board have got all our interests at heart.

Like you say the ones that have a full history are more than likely the ones that are selling seats, so it's leading the lambs to the slaughter.

How would you want them to do it mate.

Same as they have always done it. First come first serve. Gives everyone who has paid for a membership an equal chance, same as it has always been with no complaints.
In any case thye are hiding behind a screen of touts which I'm calling absolute BS on!!

1st come 1st served, so you could go to 15 games and I go to 1 and I get a ticket and you don't you would be OK with that, and if you say yes you are lying to yourself.

Why bother with membership then. Just do it on the priority like for away tickets. Like I say the fact someone has bought 15 home tickets does not mean that they have been to 15 games.
If the membership was going to become a 2 tier system they should have let everyone know before they let people renew.
Is 'username' a member of FAB.....?

Whats fab. You have to have sort type of order mate, I think mist people who buy home games would be going, Away games I can agree something needs doing.

I think if you are introducing a priority system, which I think is fair enough tbh, there needs to be further increments to it (14 to 9 etc etc) but the club won't do that because it would hurt membership sales imo, with people on lower credits realising they have little chance to get a ticket. The club will milk this season and this half arsed way of rewarding loyalty is the start of it.

If its 15 credits it then should go to 14 and so on, you can have a 1st come 1st served system as someone has said, then there is no loyalty bonus.

They could have been up front about this before taking everyone’s membership fees for a start.

I don’t live locally and only manage to get to a couple of games a season with my two boys. I’ve been charged £75 renewal fees in total for what is now a virtually zero chance of getting any tickets.

the answer is that the first at the top of the queue is anyone who's nom de plume on the inter webs is based on a fictional character from a spaghetti western. The rest can go on shoe size or summat

I've paid £90 for me, dad and daughter and unlikely to get anything but for the crappest fixture, assuming we can all go to that crap fixture

No absolutely not. Further to that ,some years ago ,I asked the ticket office why I hadn't been given the Shareholder discount on my season ticket. The answer was - we didn't know you were a shareholder. Everton that .

Agree the should of said before. That is harsh.
