Some highlights;

One which might appeal to overseas fans;

Additionally, the Club will now introduce an International Blues membership, designed for supporters overseas with the intention of providing greater coverage on all things ITFC. The International Blues membership, priced at £34.99, offers many of the same benefits as a Super Blues membership, including ticket priorities, with full information detailed below.

Non-season ticket holding members from the 2023/24 season, who purchased a match ticket for one or more league fixture at Portman Road in the 2023/24 campaign, will have the option to enter a ballot (which sits at the top of the priority queue) for home league matches in the 2024/25 season if their membership is renewed.

This has been introduced to thank supporters from the 2023/24 season by giving them the first opportunity to potentially secure a match ticket for home league games in the 2024/25 season.

Sounds good and I'm pleased they are giving priority to previous members, I think that's really important.
It's still expensive for what it is IMO, but I've renewed mine, it won't let me add my son but he wasn't a member before so suspect I need to wait until tomorrows 'general release' for that.

Will be interesting this year as likely very hard to get tickets! Wonder how the ballot works if you want to sit with a fellow member (also pre-existing) as my dad has renewed his too.

Can imagine tickets will only be making General sale stage for friendlies and cup games. Hence I'm going to the Fortuna friendly so at least I get to see a Town side play.

No mention that I can see of priority access to your seat for Cup games. Is it covered under another category that I’ve missed or is it a free for all for any cup games? In which case me n Mike will never be getting our seats for any cup games.

Apparently you have to forfeit your seat in cup games to me. It's there in the T&Cs!

if it was you AM I’d gladly let you have it, but EVERY cup match there’s this woman and three lads get mine and mikes seat and one next to it. It doesn’t matter if you get in band in 10am when they on sale online, our seats are gone. Every cup game without fail. I think she knows someone in the ticket office because the chances of those 3 people always getting our seats and not other fans is next to zero. So she must have insider help. I said to Mike if considered complaining about it because there’s clearly something going on. My view is why don’t they buy their own ST seats??

So if you can nip in ahead of her I’d see it as a victory lol

I’ve just registered for the ballot and was asked how many tickets I want surely this can’t be right one member one ticket?

Yes it states on the website somewhere, one tkt per person.

I think you can select friends/family and enter together if they are on the same membership level though?

I.e I used to always buy myself and my dads ticket during the members window, naturally we are both members so it always let me do it as our accounts were linked.

Yes you can buy like that, can be bloody awkward though

Just had my first go at getting a ticket loged in at just after 0930 when I got on the site at 1000 I was 4534 in the queue estimated one hour wait when I was allowed in at 1032 sold out last season I used to log in at the appropriate time and buy a ticket straight away with the same amount of tickets for sale seems a bit strange

I suspect there are ALOT more people trying to get tickets now, so I wouldn't say its strange.

My son has tried and failed for the first 2 home matches. I don’t know how many memberships the club has sold, but I suspect it’s a huge number, making the chances of getting a ticket very low. I suppose it’s understandable but I wonder if perhaps they should have put a limit on the number of memberships sold.

Yes I suspect that right there is the issue, way too many members.

It would be poor if you're a member yet can't ever get tickets, as effectively that membership is then worthless.

Are you/your son a new member or an existing one? I've not tried for tickets yet but I think existing members get the ballot round before new members?

He’s a new member. Gave up his season ticket a few years back due to work commitments.

I logged on at 10am to check the hopstiality tickets, Fulham, villa and everton got released at the same time. They pretty much sold out in 5mins for all of those, at least the packages at the lower price end.

The prices (as expected) have jumped up alot though, the Hall of Fame was around £100-130 last year and is now almost double that for example.
I think the equivelent at Spurs is £300 though.

Oh the joys of the Premier League
