In response to the issues that arose concerning the allocation of tickets for the Albion's FA cup tie against West Ham, the Club have reviewed their "Away Ticket" policy for all high interest games including cup ties.

A new scheme is announced today which is designed to ensure first and foremost that all season ticket holders get priority for high interest away matches, but also keeps the benefits of the very successful away membership scheme that has now been operating for the last seven years.

The new scheme has three levels of membership:

Gold Membership - exclusive to Season Ticket Holders only. Membership entitles the holder to the following benefits:

  • Automatic, free membership for Season Ticket holders.
  • Guarantees* one priority ticket per Gold member for all high-interest away games, including Cup ties and Play-off matches.
  • 10% discount on all club shop purchases.
  • Members will receive a club newsletter and free DVD's of selected matches during the season
  • Regular invitations to buy extra home game tickets at substantial discounts for family and friends.
  • Continued priority to season ticket holders for all home Cup and Play-off games.

*Subject to availability - if the number of away tickets allocated to the Club is less than the number of Gold Members the tickets will be allocated on a first-come, first served basis.

Blue Membership - Non-season ticket holders can purchase entry to "Blue" level membership for £30 per season (adults) - £15 (U16's) renewable annually. This includes:

  • Second priority* for members for high-interest away games, including Cup ties and Play-off matches.
  • 10% discount on all club shop purchases
  • A club newsletter and free DVD's of selected matches during the season.
  • Priority for seats not allocated to season ticket holders for all home Cup and Play-off games.

White Membership - This level of membership replaces the existing Away Membership Scheme.

It is free to supporters who are already members the existing scheme but we are asking supporters to re-apply so that we can bring our records up to date.

For new members wishing to attend ticketed away matches for the first time the once-only joining fee of £10 will still apply.

This level has been created to honour our commitment to supporters that the joining fee would be a once only charge and is a means of maintaining that membership.

However a number of people joined for specific matches only and it is time that we refreshed the records to ensure that those people that regularly attend games get priority over new members joining simply for a high interest match.

White members will be able to apply for tickets for all ticketed away games and will get next priority after Gold and Blue members for high interest away games.
