Other than contacting each of the priv seat holders by email is there a chance the SLO could provide an update on here ? Listen I have no issue what so ever with the way the club have decided to allocate the tickets, my issue is the time its taking to get this done and the lack of comms. As already said I have a mate who leaves for a holiday down south today, he now has little or no way of getting tickets for him and his sons, season ticket holder and shareholder. Terrible that we are in this position only a week out. I too have arrangements to make, which I cannot do, as other have said my hotel has now been booked for two weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Souleycouley93 Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 The lack of communication and ignoring of the supporters is utterly shambolic. The club have had weeks to sort the tickets of which they have 802. They still haven’t arrived. Connah’s Quay have sold theirs already. You would think we were the part time team. Killie trust have asked and completed a ballot already notifying supporters who were successful. Supporters clubs have provided names and details and the club are taking ages to do anything. Amateur hour. The game is a week today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was was a complete pig's ear from the outset and they've been playing catch-up ever since. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have given the buses a time to meet to get applications in and if not met then the tickets go to other more deserving fans. Surely bus organisers know who’s met the criteria and who hasn’t? Amateur hour right enough.

Along with the fact there has been no interviews with any of team, no strip release and no signings it’s the only thing people are able to be talking about.

Rightfully so in my opinion. I am pointing out that along with that situation there has been not much else to talk about which has led to frustration among supporters.

Quick someone get a Gary Dicker in for an interview so SouleyCouley93 doesn't have to wait another day without one.

killieboy87 Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 I don't think it's OTT to say that a lot of the anticipation and enthusiasm has dissipated a little over the summer. Such an exciting end to the season and we even managed the loss of SC well by getting a seriously intriguing replacement in, but since then it's been like everyone at the club is on a summer holiday. No strip (granted, outwith the club's control but even that we only know by hearing from fellow fans), no idea what is happening with tickets for our first European game in nearly 20 years (we should be publicly flogging CQN for not getting the tickets to us yet and it's ludicrous that we don't even know how most of the tickets are going to be allocated with a week to go). I also don't think it's unreasonable to expect some media content from pre-season - I think everyone agreed last year's content was brilliant - player cam was a good laugh etc. Apart from a short fuzzy highlights reel of us taking a 3-0 scudding, there's been nothing since AA's first interview. Even just a catch up with the "Scotland 4" to see how they enjoyed the international experience, or with AD to get his thoughts on it. @Souleycouley93 is right about this, it's the reason there's approaching (or probably into) double figures of threads about tickets that we don't have yet! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamla Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) To be advised by 5 pm tomorrow it seems:- The club is now in the final stage of our ticket allocation process for next week’s Europa League qualifier against Connah’s Quay Nomads. Allocations for Supporters Clubs have been finalised and Privileged Season Ticket Holders will be contacted by the club on Friday (July 5). A ballot for current season ticket holders will take place later today (Thursday, July 4) for the remaining available tickets. Season ticket holders for 2019/20, excluding those who have already been allocated a ticket, will be automatically entered into the draw and those who are successful will be contacted by the club before 5pm on Friday. If anyone who is successful in the ballot is unable to attend the match then the ticket will be reallocated. Tickets will be available for collection from the administration office at 38 Portland Road, Kilmarnock on Monday, July 8 from 10am with the office staying open until 8pm. Director Cathy Jamieson said: “We fully understand and sympathise with supporters who will miss out on this match due to the limited ticket availability. Please be assured that the club made every representation to obtain as many tickets as possible for visiting Kilmarnock fans. “I’d like to thank the fans for their patience and understanding in what has been a frustrating process. Returning to European competition after an absence of 18 years has involved plenty of learning and we will take on board lessons from this process going forward.” Finally, we hope as many fans as possible will turn out on July 18 for the return match at Rugby Park as Angelo Alessio enjoys his home debut with additional admission information being published early next week.

Andy Posted July 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 FAO Those who on this thread who consider themselves Priv. season Ticket holders. Been told tonight I am not considered by the club a Priv Season ticket holder. i have no idea why other than I did move seat. I will be taking this up with the club 100%. As I have already said this was over turned from the original proposal as unworkable, clearly some Priv seat holders were going to have to move for loads of reasons, so it was revoked 100%. i know individuals who moved in or after the first season. just wanted to let those who are in the same boat, to prepare for a possible disappointment. Fortunately for me I was successful in the TIK draw. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't received anything yet but from your comments I may well be in the same boat ! I hope you aren’t. My information did not come directly from the club but from the trust, who I think asked a question of the club on my behalf due to a fairly unique set of circumstances. I managed to get a ticket via their draw and wasn’t sure if I had to pay for theirs or wait to see if I got one via the Priv. seat option. This was not me trying to score an extra ticket by the way, simply trying to free up one for the Trust to reallocate. i have to say I am very angry at this news, it’s not about a ticket as said I have one. If this turns out that I am not considered a Priv. Seat holder because I moved seat and someone who wasn’t around when Priv Seats were introduced has removed people for moving seats I will be fighting this. I mentioned this in another post but before the scheme went ‘live’ the rules changed to allow a seat swap primarily to cope with those who wanted to accommodate their kids who at the time were too young or not even born yet. Common sense was applied. To give some context the East Stand back then was rammed full of Priv Seats but more so season ticket holders(hence the recent need to remove all the reserved stickers !!!) it was nearly impossible to find a free seat back then to accommodate a child, so you could obv move seat to where you could then find two seats together. I was in the same seat for 15 years before my son was old enough to start attending matches. it was probably another two years before I switched us to the West Stand for two seasons. We moved back after the relegation play off season. Apologies for the long post, Mr. Angry this morning and this is nothing to do with a ticket for the game in Wales.

Riccarton Bluebell Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 Last Thursday we were asked to apply for tickets. 8 days later I am no further forward. There will be fans now running out of time to make arrangements.for travel, hotels and even time off work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cammy_boy Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 I cant fathom why moving what seat you sit on makes any difference whatsoever to this. Seems utter garbage when you've paid your money upfront and continued to do so 25 years. Can anyone explain why what seat you sit on matters at all? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cammy, The original blurb in the glossy brochure produced at the time, was all about it being your seat for life. As long as you kept renewing your season ticket. But as said in practice terms it was never going to work. One of our group with in a year was bring his daughter to games, and we had to move only by one or two seats to accommodate her. The club at that time were very flexible about it. Seem someone within the club now is not being so understanding ?????

Killiespire Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 I'm not savvy enough to attach the detail of the Privileged Seat Benefits & Conditions shown on the reverse side of my certificate but some of the wording shown is as follows :- " Subject to the annual renewal of your Season Ticket the following benefits are available " ****************************************** Selection of Privileged Seat Priority Allocation of Best Seats Available on Away All Ticket Games Membership of the Killie Club Nameplate on your Privileged Seat Recognition on a Commemorative Plaque in the Stand First Option on Car Park Season Tickets Holders Certificate *************************************** Nowhere does it state that by moving your seat all privileges become invalid. Should that not have been listed under benefits and conditions ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted July 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 (edited) Perhaps this is not the reason that I don’t appear on the Priv list I am maybe putting 2+2 together and making assumptions. What I do know is I have 100% had a season ticket every year since 1985-86. I also doubt I will get anywhere with the club over the next few days, and I don’t have to, just wanted to give others a heads up.
