depends what you want.

there's the AST which are away season ticket holders, basically those that get completely mugged off by the board. they go to every away game including certain cup games.

then there's the travel club. you build up points over a number of seasons to get priority. the more points you get the sooner you can buy tickets when they go on sale. in order to build up points you usually end up going to shitty northern games that no-one else goes to. over time your points build up and you can go to the in-demand games e.g. those that sell out quicker. membership for this isnt always open, i think it opens every couple of years.

then there's gold, silver and red members. gold members still need to build up away points, they dont get priority just because they've splashed out £1000+ on a season ticket. madness right?

leftovers go to general sale. usually the carling cup games.

tickets go in this order:
season ticket with 25, 20, 15, 10, 5 credits and travel club with 25, 20, 15, 10, 5 credits. if any are left they go to silver then reds.

me and a few friends have travel club memberships, two also have season tickets so we make sure theres plenty of points racked up in order to get first dibs on the big games. starting with the etihad this sunday
