We use that money to sponsor players etc and use as a float for the bus. We don't charge more for non members but if folk want us to be more transparent we might need to. We sponsored Greg Stewart/Mulumbu this season and also have a season ticket advert in the town centre sponsored by us. Thanks for that again wasn’t aware of that. Be happy to contribute a few quid in future Ser. Edited June 26, 2019 by Andy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlies PaPa Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 As a priviledged season ticket holder, this was shown on my seat by a special label, however as one might expect this has disappeared over the years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that a general sale. Haud the bus!!! What about Killie Hippo subscribers?! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d need to see the contract they have with Hippo before deciding. ps thanks to @historyman for the photos. That certainly looks like a contract with the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My youngest got his grandfathers and has used it with a ST every year. The club have his details as Privilege seat holder but his name isn’t on the plaque, it’s my dads. The bumf I have says that the seat holder has a lifetime right to purchase a season ticket for their seat. The club makes the rules though and can vary them at their discretion, I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impressive! Not had our names replaced on the seats for a long time. Didn't help it was flat piece of metal stuck on a curved plastic chair. Doomed to failure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My replacement one which has lasted many a year, had a wooden backing with plate on top, as said has lasted years, this time. I do though have the fear that it may have been removed with the recent clean up, I am also due to move to standing section, my son did protest...............but dad you have your name on your seat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Privilege seat holders transferring to the standing section will be offered the opportunity to have their name tattooed on their back. They will be required to remain topless from Kick off till full time at home games. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 My understanding was that your privileges were in perpetuity so long as you renewed your season ticket. I stuck at it manfully until 2010/2011 when I had to let the season ticket go due to under-use... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie's Dad Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 5 hours ago, skyhigh said: All these folk buying season tickets for 25 years and buying expensive privileged seats and going to games whatever the weather yet you can’t join a supporters club? I really don’t get that. What don’t you get. Been going to the football my whole life with my Dad who’s now in his 70’s. Travelled from where ever we stayed including years in England(some years obviously more games than others). Travelled to away games by car and very rarely used a supporters bus. Now go to away games again by car with 2 friends and my 11 year old son. Why would I/we need to be members of a supporters club ? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted June 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) Just on Supporters Clubs, they are very much a Killie-centric thing. There are no real use to those who live outwith Kilmarnock. I have used the Burns bus on occasion and had to arrange very late night lifts home from Kilmarnock, or got the train home from a Glasgow drop off. I also traveled on the Ardrossan bus years ago, but having to sit through endless drop offs in Killie, Springside, Dreggin, Irvine, before Kilwinning, meant that as soon as we could use a car we did.

gamla Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 Just in case anyone is interested I went in to the shop and asked who to speak to regarding the ticket allocation and privileged seat holders and they said it should be Kirsten Robertson, her email address is the two above names at kilmarnock.co.uk according to them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillieFC Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 Pretty sure that Priv seat holders will get the chance of tickets. Phyllis M is just back and Cathy J not back yet, but they are aware of the fans in that position and there are still tickets to be allocated. The Club Board getting it pretty badly despite the fact we’d not be in this position without them, and we’re assuming they made all the ticket arrangements and that’s just not the case at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from the merits of the (poor) decision discussed (over and over ) on the other thread , what did not help IMO was the lack of clarity and for me a poorly prepared club statement yesterday , which was unusual given the excellent media and superb communication there has been from the club in recent times.........then we had the post from the trust chairman too giving impression of disagreements behind the scenes..

With the match being played in a 1,400 capacity venue and many fans booking travel and accommodation in anticipation, surely some thought should have gone into ticket distribution at board level? I can't remember an all-ticket match when priority went to supporters clubs, but I could be wrong. Deviating from the usual priority - privilege seat holders, shareholders, season ticket holders, general sale - suggests a deliberate decision somewhere in the club, which has upset a lot of people. I hope a lesson will be learned and that everyone will in future know where they stand in the priority pecking order when all ticket matches come around.
