I think your last point is covered by this buried in the blurb for home membershipsInevitably any change to ticket policy will draw a big reaction.
I‘ve had a season ticket every season since 1991/92 - yes I missed out on the 1991 Cup Final.
I‘ve had away membership for many years and go to nearly all away matches. Therefore I expect to be one of the 400.
Having travelled far and wide throughout this time - relegation in 2004, the wilderness years in League 1, and the the barren years in the Championship, I feel the new system has merit. I’ve never bought away membership to ensure key away matches like Derby.
Over recent months and especially in May for the Play Off Final I‘ve seen many posts about failure to obtain tickets especially for away games from posters who rarely travel. Although we had many away sell-outs there were games supporters could have attended without away membership including our first game at Coventry. Following the surge under SC we didn’t sellout at Swansea and Cardiff, nor at Boro on Boxing Day.
Furthermore for Wembley many disabled supporters who have to purchase by calling the Ticket Office could not get through because other supporters were using that line despite being told to book on line. It took me eight hours using two phones to eventually purchase my tickets despite having fifty six priority points.
It‘s easy to criticise the Club but they are rewarding loyalty - season card holders will have home seats guaranteed. The most loyal away supporters will also be guaranteed (for a twenty four hour slot) tickets to away games. More supporters will be able to attend away matches with the 3,000 allocation for virtually all games.
the supporters I feel for most are those who are suffering financially who will be priced out of games and thereby also denying their children to attend.
I don’t expect this to be a popular opinion but it is my view.
One change which should be made is for absent season card holders to be able to make their seats available on an individual game basis.
