Andy we had the same issue with season tickets. We were told last week we had to link them when the new ticket holder bought theirs. Poor that it wasn’t communicated. What I don't understand is that I bought the 2 new ones at the same time as renewing the other 2, and paid in one lump sum, so I've no idea how those are not linked to my account. Just a complete pain now and means I won't be able to book 4 away tickets, or cup tickets etc together. The ticketing really is a shambles and needs addressing with the club urgently. One definitely for the forum at least. You can if you queue up in person. That's what I had to do a couple of time last season. Its not great, managed to get them linked when we renewed this season.

I wonder how many of our fans did that proportion of aways over the same period? Just had a look at it! Since Covid and the reopening of grounds we've played 80 away games - have excluded Yeovil at the back end of 20/21 and Carlisle at Wembley, but have included cup games as just easier to work out. Of those 80, I've missed 23. Surprised it's as high as that, tbh. So I've been to 72% of all away games in that time. Season by season, as if anyone cares: 21/22: Attended 62% overall (64% of league aways) 22/23: Attended 75% (79% of league aways) 23/24: Attended 78% (83% of league aways) Ended up breaking it down by league/cup in the end. Obviously the cup games are costing me - Port Vale & Salford in the EFL Trophy, and then Charlton and Aldershot in the FA Cup. I consider myself to be someone who goes to a lot of games. Those who are consistently hitting 80% of away games a season, which would work out at only missing five based on the last two seasons (27 aways) are thoroughly deserving of any rewards. I'd imagine it's a very small number who are at 80% with us, probably less than 50 people. I bet there's at least another 100-150 in the same area as me at mid-70s. Just done my stats and I've missed 13 in that time. That includes the 5 (3 league and 2 cup) that I missed when I was ill with pneumonia last year. That's 83.75% over that time. It reads: 2021-2022: Overall 22/27 (81.48%) - League 18/23 (78.26%) 2022-2023: Overall 26/27 (96.3%) - League 23-1*(95.83%) 2023-2024 Overall 20/27 (74.07%) - League 18/23 (78.26%) *24 as it includes the Salford Playoff Away game.

Why do people get so worked up about season tickets and when they’re available?
We live in an age where there’s multiple solutions to not having the physical thing.
Ironically, I’ve opted to have a physical card but the vast majority of us will have smart phones that can scan from that.

I must admit to taking the card option, still don't trust my phone to hold charge 🙄

Has anyone ever not received their ST in time for the 1st game of the season, and been refused entry to EP?

Closest I got was having to use a temporary e ticket as mine was late to arrive, no real drama if a bit crap.

I've opted for the physical card too, but still have the e-ticket as an option if I ever left my wallet at home. I don't get the fuss about that either.

Yeah, I missed Crawley and Salford last season (both of which I had tickets for) as was in hospital. Without missing those I’d be on 89%.

Yeah, apart from when I was ill I only missed two last season. Barrow on Boxing Day. And Crawley, when I made a tactical choice to agree to go away that week, on the basis it would leave me clear to go to all the rest of the games for the season. Still listened to Barrow and managed to watch Crawley on the stream.

I don't think you can beat having a physical ticket in your hand I recently found tickets in the bottom of a draw for Deep purple AC/DC Iron Maiden and Live Aid all from the 80s I also found county v many teams Iincluding stoke, posh ,Port Vale Burnley and many more The memories came flooding back...you just don't get that with a card or an e ticket...but this is the way now...so maybe I'm lucky to have had that time and some keepsakes... no doubting technology is a wonderful thing but sometimes its just not better in my opinion To add to this I am using this technology now but I found a few copies of the Tea Party .. still a great read.... will I be reading this in 1 year let alone 30 odd years I doubt it ...if you see my point

A couple of years ago I got a picture of me and my dad with big Kev framed from the night County put on for him at EP. I had a bunch of tickets placed around the picture within the frame from big games my dad took me to as a kid. 90’s Wembley finals, when we beat city at Maine Road, Everton at Goodison Park, Chesterfield away, Middlesbrough at EP. Looks absolutely brilliant and is something I see being in my family for generations. Like you say won’t be able to do anything like this in the future.

If you're going to Tuesday's Fans Forum then you'll be able to collect it prior, as the ticket office is open until 7pm, which is when the forum starts.
