Reduced Price Season Tickets

[BCram]

It costs £10 to join our club, that is saved after 2 trips
Rangers match, 952 tickets
Put aside DSA 400

There will be a number of buses struggling if non season ticket holders don’t manage to get tickets, 400 will never suffice for the buses going through, I’d like to hear more noise from our club to get an increase of about 500 tickets

Good information. Seems like 8 buses at 50 fans takes up the full set aside for DSA. Don't see how you could call that unfair. I am assuming that the club that you are a member of operates in the same way that all the others do.

Think you would like DFC to try to boost the Rangers allocation from 952 to about 1500. Is there any shared information about how many tickets they allocate to DUFC, Aberdeen, St Mirren or Killie?
Might be useful ammo if they all get significantly more tickets.

This is a cup match, away teams get roughly same amount for Ibrox, I think the stadium is limited to around 40k for this one, it will never sell out

It's not cheap or easy to organise a bus but Im with Islay and Deeranged re those clubs that never run a bus shouldn't get a priority over " ordinary" season tic holders......the QP situation was a disgrace.

Maybe the fact that the Player of the year is a DSA run event, as was anniversary dinner why wouldn’t members get tickets, I listened to you last Saturday and came to the conclusion if they opened up your head they’d probably get a decent bowl of broth

You will also be aware that I highlighted an error in the DSA Constitution dated 5th August 2023 and signed by the Chairman which a member of the DSA committee and a representative from a DSA affiliated supporters club stated that I must have an ‘out of date’ constitution.
Matt Edwards asked me to speak to him about this mistake after the AGM where he admitted that I was correct about the error in the DSA constitution which he would get corrected.
I was very surprised that none of the DSA representatives of their supporters clubs did not ask the DSA Committee members why they did not ask John Nelms during their meeting the Thursday before the AGM with him where the funding for the £95 million new stadium development was coming from.
This is the question that every Dundee FC supporter wants answered.

The 50th Anniversary League Cup was not a DSA event.
It was a Dundee Football Club event. The management of Dundee Football Club asked the DSA to organise and run the event on their behalf.
Jonny McInally made a speech at the dinner on behalf of Dundee Football Club.
You will also be aware that the Hall of Fame dinner on 17th November 2024 which is costing £60 per ticket for a 2 course meal is being organised by Dundee Football Club with assistance from the DSA.

I know that the season ticket holders in the queue for a ticket for the Queens Park game were furious when they heard that the DSA affiliated supporters clubs had already been allocated a percentage of the tickets for the game rumoured to be almost half the available tickets before the tickets went on sale on the Monday morning at 10am.
I received an email from a member of a DSA affiliated supporters club on the Sunday afternoon before the tickets went on sale on the Monday morning telling me that he had been allocated a ticket for the Queens Park game.

Cup games are different because season tickets are only valid for league games.

Firstly I couldn’t care less how they find the money, I trust them

Your right re dinners, but part where they asked for assistance involved selling tickets, event wasn’t sold out, but wasn’t a disaster thanks to DSA involvement

Constitution mistake, was it not a spelling mistake or a letter missed out, 99% of the people in attendance really couldn’t give two F’s, were there to support the club and it’s done through the DSA, I think they do a very decent job and can do without folk hindering them and looking for faults

I just wonder what would happen if the benefits of joining a supporters club were promoted on this forum?
Surely the aim should be to boost support for supporters clubs, and the level of membership of the DSA.
The logic of Islay's questions seem to me to point to the benefit of being both a ST holders and a member of a supporters club that is affiliated to the DSA.

If every Dundee supporter joined a DSA affiliated supporters club there would not be sufficient capacity in the Invercarse Hotel to meet the demand for a ticket for the Player of the Year dinner.
At the DSA secretaries meeting on 6th April 2024 there were 415 members of DSA affiliated supporters clubs wanting to attend the Player of the Year dinner in the Invercarse Hotel in May 2024. It was stated at the meeting that the maximum number of people that the Invercarse Hotel ballroom can hold is 324 people which includes invited guests, Dundee Football Club first team players, manager and backroom staff, Club staff and Directors.
