I'm trying to work it out. My eldest was born in '98 and my first ST was 2+1 and she was pre-school. Must have been '02-ish?

Fastest finger first puts you in charge of your destiny Rooster? Really? Seriously?

With Ticketmaster? Honestly! :lol:
Think our first ST's may also have been purchased in 02-ish too.

Was def before we bought our house in 2004.

The "apocalypse" year!!! I suspect ST sales '00/01 were "brisk"! :lol:

Mine must have been '01 or '02, '03 at the very latest.
I had a couple of 00/01 and it was tough, the "apocalypse" word brings it all back !

Yes, I know, and like the car park, the waiting list for the premium stand, etc, is it unrealistic to expect that when we reach the 50% + 1 Ulster will then have a second tier of ST holders with lesser rights?

Personally, I don't care, I'm egalitarian enough to take my chances in a draw.
I would rather head in the direction of fastest finger on the ticket site than a draw, at least you feel that you are sort of in control of your ticket destiny
Nah! Prove you are a REAL supporter :stir:

First priority to Season Ticket holders that are also URSC members - that would push the supporters club membership up another wee bit :duck:
what about the expats?

What about them? :D

A lot of newbies here.

My first season ticket season was in the days pre the professional era.

It cost £5 then and entitled you to 1/2 interpros, Lancashire/Yorkshire, possibly a touring side and all the Cup Finals (including the Schools Cup.)
Sales of the tickets were not promoted and you had to almost twist the arm of the office staff to get one.

Excellent value indeed and some cash left to enjoy a beer in the bar below the grandstand.

It must be at least 30 years ago and renewed every year since..

£5 sounds a bit steep! I think a yorks/lancs game was about 20p (although that would have been schoolboy). Maybe I'm remembering through rose tints. Summers were longer and drier then and you didn't have unblock your doors.
