Why cancel your ST?
It is those non-ST holders who, having purchased a semi-final ticket on the understanding that that they would have priority for the final, appear to have been misled.

I have no problem with the club favouring ST-holders. However their communication regarding semi-final ticket sales was not as precise as it should have been.

My question is - why are you all going? Tigers have already won the championship. All you're doing is supporting a blatant money making exercise that isn't even for true club supporters. What do you think Chelsea would say if you said they'd got to play off for the football premiership title? I don't think the answer would be printable!

The reason were still going is, that if you think the play-off's are a good or bad thing (i think a bad thing, but still going) is were going to cheer our team on (hopefully we'll get there) cos we still want to win and if they dont then just for a good day out.

Its a great day out and always a big game. whether you like the playoffs or not there here to stay. I personally like the playoffs as i think it keeps the league more competitive meaning there is less of a chance for a team to dominate the league for so many years. like man u in football.

WUM.
Tigers have not won the championship, other than in the minds of various flat-earthists, luddites and assorted other cranks.
To suggest that 'true club supporters' should not go to the GP final is condescending nonsense.
Why compare rugby to association football? If you had any knowledge at all you would know that every major rugby nation has adopted playoffs.

I'm a flat earthist and proud of it! It's the unthinking sheep that follow the commercial shepherd that make me feel ill. I'll not support the play offs. All it take for evil to persist is that good men do nothing!

Do the tickets normally get to general sale, I know they did last year? Also are they normally the ones up in the gods that are left?

Hi all. I am one of a family of four that regularly attend tigers gams throughout the season. However, i am the only one that has a season ticket and despite us all attending the SF I would be the only one that could be pretty much guaranteed to get a ticket tomorrow when they go on sale due to the one per season ticket holder rule. Additionally, i do not own a car and due to complicated rail tickets it would be impractical for me to travel via that method.
So i can sit with my family I am going to wait it out until Friday when season ticket holders can buy additional tickets, but if any of you guys who are season ticket holders are not going to buy tickets I would appreciate it greatly if you could PM me about possibly using your ST number to buy a ticket. :smt023
Thanks
TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!
