So with 30k capacity and 3k away fans - we have 19k season cards, 5500 Pro members . So for popular games there will be 2500 seats available for the Plus member scramble- total plus number 5000.

European games might see us have 29k home tickets depending on the opposition. 19k ST holders plus the rumoured 10k Pro/Plus members.

I think there's more than 19,000 season ticket holders, so I'm pretty confident in theory pro members will miss out on Conference League tickets. Some teams will almost certainly sell out what will at least be a 2,000 away allocation. Plus it just creates an unnecessary scramble and stress on the system. Why do they do this?

Had my membership since before we were promoted and we pay £100 for the privilege, so not impressed at all at this arrangement.

Can't think of many teams off the top of my head that will sell 2k in the conference?

Thursday night games too remember. That'll still put a few off. I reckon if you're a pro member you'll still get a ticket as long as you're on the ball when they go live.

The plus membership for my lad has risen from £40 to £75 there needs to be additional benefits to that because other than allowing priority 1 sale for European games there has not been any other tangible benefits for an almost 100% price hike.

Nearly a 100% increase in my son's membership. F**cking hell forest, they'd better be giving out increased priority for that.

What’s happened?

I got a Family silver membership for myself and my young son in the first season back which cost £50. Good value.

Next season, and following seasons, they abolished family silver and we had to buy two Pro memberships which been £99 each.

Expensive, but no other way of guaranteeing a seat.

Paul Bell is what happened mate.

Even at that we still have to miss games because getting two seats together as second priority is really difficult. We're being rogered up the arse for £75 each, one of which is a child to not even guarantee seats.

We'll no doubt get a keyring though so that's nice

So that's over 10k people trying to get tickets for a home European game at the same time then.

I wonder if they've done that due to the expectation that away ticket allocations won't be 3,000? I wonder if some of the teams we face will even bring a bus full.
Some teams probably won't even bring a couple of hundred.

Ouch - not being able to get seats together is a real bummer and at that price.

It’s sometimes difficult to get seats together on Pro - if it’s one seat gap, people are normally v nice and let us sit together.

I remember in the promotion season, we went to see Forest v Swansea where Sam Surridge scored his amazing hat trick.

Son insisted in sitting in the Trent End, which I don’t like as I cannot see anything but we couldn’t get seats together.

This really nice older chap in his 80’s said that his family bought his season ticket, he’d always sat in his seat, but he was happy to move so we could sit together- thank you sir.

I'll be honest I've never had any issues getting 2 seats together with Plus membership (as long as I've tried to get them the minute the window opens)

If I've left it later than that it's been an issue,which is understandable, but not at window opening.

We actually know what the season card numbers are (at least for last season) from the accounts. It was 19,814. So yes Pro members could miss out on Conference league tickets.

Thinking about it they're most likely to be the ones to miss out as they'll be less used to the mad scramble. I'm a pro but I also buy tickets for plus members so I know the scramble all too well.

That's partly the issue, if I get caught on a call for work then that extra 5-10 minutes is the difference between getting seats together and not.

Season before last! Although given the renewal rates and selling of some new ones it won't have changed much last season or this coming one.

The membership you have is for EPL league games. You still get to attend every home EPL league game. Plus member pay £75 and they are not even guaranteed a ticket let alone 2 tickets together for many games. Whatever the club does people will always be upset.

The club have obviously decided to allow Pro and Plus members the same chance to attended European games. I think that’s fair they did a similar thing for the FA Cup games since promotion treating all members the same so they appear to be treating conference league games the same way as the cup.

You also need to factor in the games will be Thursday night which likely stops some season ticket holders and members from being able to go to all the games. Some of these games may even kick off at 5.30pm although I think those will likely be away games for us hopefully not the home ones. It’s all done for tv coverage across Europe.

It could only be one European home game of course, as I like to keep pessimistically reminding people.

Do you have a direct link please? Either they’ve removed the numbers detail or there is a separate page then I haven’t managed to navigate to.
I was looking for ages yesterday and couldn't find it anywhere.
