Stifler Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 (edited) Season ticket holders go to games and get priority on cup games and away games. If they are buying extra tickets then they are buying tickets for none season ticket holders, not themselves. Aye give them priority on non-season ticket matches, but don’t start giving them an extra ticket before you let others have a chance.

Impossible to keep everyone happy. Think they are doing it is good. I think a ballot for between 10% to 25% of away tickets I think would be fair, rest are for the points system, bit harsh if everyone’s points become worthless Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 I think the points systems has flaws. You can have someone who has 100+ points, yet hasn’t bought an away ticket for years. Yet you can have someone with much less and are going or trying to go to games more recently. On top of this you need to give others a chance to go. Maybe saying 50% of away tickets should go to those with the highest points, 40% to more recent purchasers, and then 10% to ballet between remaining season ticket holders and members. If anything is left over, then general sale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newintoon Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Also agree on the season ticket holders don’t need buy an extra ticket they have a seat maybe for juniors only or something, whoever else they buying for can get a membership and join the que Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 You do have to give people a chance to go to away games somehow. Right now you just need to know one of the chosen few who can get you a ticket. I’ve been to hundreds of games, including away and European, but I’ve got 0 loyalty points.

Don't think it will (or should) be the entire away allocation, but should at least stop people buying for others and allow people chance to build up points for away games in future.

I think West Ham recently did 10% (?) of away tickets as ballots. Not sure how well it worked though? I’ll try and do some digging as to what the issues were.

Optimistic Nut Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 (edited) I was misreading Queue number for position in queue. D’oh. Done it now. I was around number 40500. Will be interesting to know how many of the 40000+ before actually went ahead with getting one. Edited June 30, 2022 by Optimistic Nut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, in order to avoid away days becoming a closed shop, it will need reviewed. Those with 50pts probably stand little to no chance of away games except midweeks, which I also get is the argument to build your points up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Can we stop the intentional false info in the threads like this? People are understandably anxious about it and talking shit about limited memberships isn’t funny, it just leads to pages and pages of shite for people to scroll through when they’re asking legitimate questions.

I think we’re at the point where it’s not realistic to ‘build your points up’. You’d need to go to every midweek away game for about a decade to stand a chance.

I just logged in before lunch, my number was 30,000+ but there were only 15 people ahead of me. That’s the important number, but the first thing you see is the queue number. I guess it continues to just give the next ‘queue number’ all day, so it adds up very quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not talking about Ashley acceptance here either because many have been ST holders for decades and pre Ashley. Personally I chucked my ST when Rafa left, after having it for 29 years before anyone accuses me of thinking I'm holier than thou. They can argue all they like. If we start with the agreement that fair access to tickets is what we’re aiming for, there’s absolutely no justification for it. The past is the past, we are where we are.

True but they had thousands and thousands of people try and be unsuccessful to get season tickets and pretty much the only way you’ll bf able to get a ticket next season is thru a membership. They’ll sell well over 10k Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
