As I have heard similar to what @Wallsendmags said. Similar conversations cropped up in Milan about how she'd got tickets - it is possible it's due to True Faith or Journalist connections rather than from the club directly- but it doesn't sit right (if true) when ticketing remains such an issue among the fanbase atm.

Investigate what though? If she’s getting tickets through legitimate means there’s nothing to investigate. They can’t just be wasting resource trying to satisfy the whims of the Twitter lynch mob, half of whom would refuse to believe them anyway.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 I share some of the concerns about how come everyone in TF has enough loyalty points to attend every home and away game, but I would be very uncomfortable with asking one individual to explain themselves publicly, especially the one female involved in anything to do with football podcasting around the club. Feels very weird to focus on her. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I get what you’re saying, but I think people are focusing on her not because she’s a lass, but isn’t it because she herself has alluded to not having the loyalty points or something in the past, or that her previous match going attendance doesn’t make sense as to how she’s getting the tickets? It’s also symptomatic of the wider fuck up to do with ticketing. People probably wouldn’t be arsed as much if there was a functioning, fair and transparent ticketing system for fans across home and away games. What we have now is a total fucking shambles and that’s why people are irate. It’s on the club not her. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's unfortunate that someone has posted a picture on twitter that has then got the vultures circling. Ultimately regardless of how any individual YouTuber / Podcaster etc. gets their tickets people want some transparency. I'm not impacted personally but I know others with decent points (30-40 - for context you'd have had to do 50% of all aways for 4-5 years and had a season ticket to accumulate these compliantly) who will feel aggrieved as what they see as injustice / queue jumping so I try and be objective as possible whilst realising some of the changes we're seeing are an unfortunate by product of "success".

Ironically though the enforcement of the T&Cs this season should see all your friends getting away tickets this season when previously they wouldn’t have due to the T&Cs not being enforced. Even then they aren’t massively. They are probably targeting those they are slightly suspicious of misusing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of these people would just wouldn't have got the loyalty point...So yes I see your point. The Trust reneged on a promise to fight for the return of Loyalty points to those who jacked in STs under Ashley (including some of the people I mention in the post you replied to) - this allied with perhaps an unfair perception that some people are only interested now the football is better rankles a lot of people I know. No system will ever meet the current demand - but some better comms from the club, increased transparency and engagement will go a long way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NUST asked if the club would they reinstate the loyalty points and were told bluntly no. Hopefully now the club has hired people for these roles and they’ve had a few months to get their feet under the table we will start seeing improved engagement in preparation for 24/25 season.

That’s not really true btw - club said no chance and fewer than 15 people signed up when Trust asked for people to come forward. I was one of them, had approx 150 loyalty points. I now have 2.
