Why not? If the club gets to a semi-final or final and demand outweighs supply then surely the fans who have season ticket should get first refusal.

I'm not a season ticket holder but I still think it is only fair they get 1st dibs.

Yep. It's always been the case. It is one of the benefits of getting a seaon ticket.

The only problem I have with it is it generally splits the crowd up, and in some cases reduces the crowd, as Season Ticket holders can;t necessarily sit with people that they go to every match with if it is limited to 1 per person. Also, I think that semi finals are a chance to attract some of the casual fans back to the game, but often they won't bother for the same reason.

My dad doesn't go to every game, he picks and chooses, but he may not go if he can;t sit next to any of us season ticket holders.

i did have one but chose not to after the debarcle a of the back end of last season The senario is a season ticket holder could get priority say for a final ticket having not been an away match at all where as a none season ticket holder could dip out having not missed a home or away match i understand it's always been the case doesn't neccessarily make it fair

The scenario is also that someone who hasn't been to any games all season gets a seat that a season ticket holders for 10 years misses out on.

It's a benefit for being a season ticket holder, simple as.
