It appears to happen at other Dundee FC supporters clubs as I have seen people posting on Facebook asking if any supporters clubs who have a bus going to an Away game have any spare seats on their bus. These people are likely to be willing to pay a higher price than a member for a seat on a supporters bus.
I am surprised that the DSA do not organise all the supporters buses for Away games for Dundee based supporters clubs which all depart from Dens Park before the game and return back to Dens Park after the end of the game.

Our bus’s are filled with members.

Not if you run a bus regularly but Bertie, bob and Belinda who never have a bus and wouldn't know how to run a bus and only want to go to player of the year doos certainly can be.

He doesn’t want to know about that, we sponsored the tops to a tune of £1k, but get sh1t for looking for a ticket for a member season ticket holder

We do, extra £5 for non members, but you don’t want to price folk out of going, ticket prices are dear enough

We have over 125 members, buses are normally full with members

So correct me if I’m wrong

We have someone whose not a season ticket holder, doesn’t attend away matches,
He’s a member of a supporters club affiliated to the DSA, probably one of these 8 member strong clubs, and he abuses that position to get a ticket for the POTY, yet begrudges us tickets for away matches

For those not aware, there are clubs with very few members, but any club requesting under 10 tickets for POTY will get 100% allocation, whilst large clubs have to ballot folk that go home and away

In my opinion ALL Dundee FC Season Tickets Holders should be treated equally.
Season Ticket Holders of a DSA affiliated club should not receive priority for purchasing a ticket at an Away Game against Dundee United FC at Tannadice Park, Dundee.

If your buses are normally full what are you moaning about.

Dee4life have sponsored two player shirt sponsorships for several years, entered the Youth Promotion draw every year and last season they purchased two pitch side advertising boards yet their members who are Season Ticket Holders never receive priority to purchase tickets for Away games.

Then perhaps they should use their shareholding and board representation to leverage a better position.

For the record I dont think dee4life as an organisation run busses to away games so why would any of the reasonable arguments for people who run busses to get tickets count here?

I am not a season ticket holder, not a member of dee4life any more, not a member of a DSA club and in my entire life have not missed a Dundee game I wanted to go to because I couldn't get a ticket.
