So I could be wrong....but it appears the club are now making it VERY difficult for anyone wanting to purchase an away ticket unless you are a season ticket holder or Valley Gold member, which will prevent all those fans that said they would only attend away games this year from possibly doing so!
Nice.

We have been handed an allocation of 1,123 tickets – which are split between standing and seating – and they are currently on sale to all season ticket holders that are also Valley Gold members, who can buy up to two tickets.
From Tuesday, August 16th, eligibility extends to season tickets holders and Valley Gold members. Supporters that purchased tickets in advance for either Bury or Cheltenham Town can buy from Friday, August 19th and tickets will then go on sale to all red card members on Tuesday, August 23rd.
Standing tickets are priced at £21.50 for adults, £16.50 for over 65s, £10 for students and under 18s, with under 16s at £5. Under 5s are free.
Seating is priced £23.50 adults, £18.50 over 65s, £12 student and under 18s, £7 under 16s and under 5s are again free.
We have also been given a number of ambulant disabled tickets and seven wheelchair bays, which are priced at the relevant age category.

thats latest away game, no mention of going on general sale, never going to sell it out so just a bit pointless tbh.
walsall and scunthorpe are both on general sale.
After that faff the club says you can now buy at the ticket office in person, but that was after buggering me and presumably some others about regarding Bury.
For people living away from the Valley, and have trouble with computers and such, then getting both away and home tickets continues to be difficult.
For the cash and technology rich and confident it may be all very easy, but the ticket system is also alienating for others.

fair effort on saturday just gone at bury but we wont get that if the team continue to lose game people simply wont bother and whos to blame them.
Northampton. Only about 1000 tickets for the away end
Chesterfield/Peterborough (If we are challenging near the top of the table)
As you will see from the CAFC site, away tickets are on restrictive sale, which, to me, appears that if like me, you wanted to attend an away game but arent a season ticket holder or a valley gold member, you wont be able to. There is no mention of away tickets for the fleetwood game going on general sale, they appear to only be available to season tickets holder, valley gold members and red card members.
I dont know if this structure of away ticket purchasing has been applied in the past and I stand to be corrected, but I dont recall it if it has.
It just struck me that as it is clear, representatives from the club follow the comments of fans on social media platforms such as this, they may have seen how much support there was for supporting the team away from home, rather than at home. Their response, make it very difficult to do just that, without committing themselves to the club one way or another.
If the away support stays at that sort of level, then the above arrangements are hardly pointless IMHO

You must be a red card member surely!
I think it is just the regime, having seen that many on here plan to only attend away games, making it as difficult as possible to buy tickets, and hamper some taking advantage of cheap travel etc. Many will worry that tickets may have sold out, others wont be able to plan travel arrangements until after they have finally got a ticket, if they can, and then travel will be more expensive.
Its just a very discrete way to try and make people buy seasons tickets and/or sign up to Valley Gold - a sneaky incentive to get your hands on an away ticket.
I can't believe their stupidity, their paranoia and their spite.
