Bit of loyalty to the supporters for all they've had to put up with.A quick glance at Twitter - seems the prices & selling process has gone down well

I am laughing at the pro members having a moan about being lumped together with Plus and MyForest members like that wasn't a thing for the previous two rounds. Oh but it's Man United now so suddenly they're interested.A quick glance at Twitter - seems the prices & selling process has gone down well
Brighton's next week according to the ecal.I thought Brighton away was due on sale this week too?
Has last weeks unexpected waiting room calamity led to a review?
Adults | 20-64 | £30 to £50 |
Seniors | 65+ | £25 to £40 |
Youth | 12-19 | £20 to £30 |
Child | 4-11 | £15 to £20 |
Always been like this. I'm a plus member now but didn't have one last season. Got to every home League Cup game and away at Blackburn until we got Man United in the semi and suddenly I couldn't get a ticket on my own number, luckily my mate managed to sort me a ticket for both legs on his number but still it did suck that the club offered absolutely no benefit for people who had turned up to the previous rounds.£25 isn't a terrible price, to be fair.
What I would say though is that, the club could have considered people who bought tickets for Blackpool and Bristol City in their ticketing structure and why am I being put in the same buying category as a Pro member as someone who paid less for exclusivity for tickets than I did?
I know it's a thing they've done in the past but considering I actually went to both them games when some of our fans will have sacked it off, bit annoying some folk will waltz back in and nab a ticket for a more exciting fixture.
Thanks - presume the Man U situation has pushed it backBrighton's next week according to the ecal.

You went to Bristol and Blackpool but didn't feel the need to moan until it's Man United?My biggest grievance with this is that they've grouped together all the members. I've paid £95 for Pro Membership and have been grouped in with all members who have paid a third of that price. I consider myself very lucky as a pro member that I can always get a ticket to a game, but I think a 2 hour window for pro members to buy tickets would have been fair.
Also consider that pro-members are likely to be members who have had long standing home membership. I'm not having a dig at 'plus' or 'my forest members', but the £95 package was sold as having a priority window for games.
Should also point out that I did go to Blackpool and Bristol at home and actually think anyone who went to these games should have had priority for Man U regardless of their membership status.

You get your money's worth not having to be logged in 10am Friday every other week to bag a seat like plus members or just hoping a season ticket holder can't go and your quick on the draw like myforest members.
Its funny to me that your post is almost exactly the ones I've been reading on Twitter, sorry not trying to single you out.hahaha I'm one of those pesky pro members having a moan lol although I did go to both Blackpool and Bristol, so feel I should be given a free ticket by divine right!!
Not to mention throwing the away members when we were struggling in League 1 andSo me and my 2 girls will total 75 quid just before payday. Petrol on top should get us up to 100,
Thanks very much Forest you're too kind.
I've started to limit away games now as it's been getting too expensive - especially when you consider the quality of product we get away from home.Not to mention throwing the away members when we were struggling in League 1 and
the Championship under the bus.
True-but the limit is probably set by the ridiculous number of away members that the club inI've started to limit away games now as it's been getting too expensive - especially when you consider the quality of product we get away from home.
It's a club that in practice doesn't seem to give a f*** about loyalty until it comes time for renewals.Always been like this. I'm a plus member now but didn't have one last season.

Been to shit grounds as an away member for years ( in fact long before away membership was thought of ) - but the club seemingly couldn’t give a f*** about loyalty.It's a club that in practice doesn't seem to give a f*** about loyalty until it comes time for renewals.
They absolutely could do a window for those that bought Bristol or Blackpool tickets, all that information is stored in the system. They just know they'll sell out regardless so why bother?
I agree with giving Lower Bridgford ST people first dibs, if you can't sit where you normally sit and have to go elsewhere, that's an inconvenience caused by YANITED taking their allocation but I think after those people, it should be a window for people that have been to either Bristol City or Blackpool. Doesn't matter if you are a season ticket holder or a member, if you go to the shit ties in the cup, you should get first dibs on the tickets for the next round.
