bobbydazzla Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 (edited) Can't align loyalty points with attendance, when attendance is based on either a lucky dip ballot, or your capability to F5 for hours on end Actually, fuck it, loyalty points should be based on how many hours you spend F5ing.

Guest Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 10 Loyalty Points for being a N-O Member 5 Loyalty Points for being a THE MAGS+ member 3 for applying for the dog shit games 2 for applying for the SUPER PREMIER LEAGUE ALLSTAR GAMES 1 for attending A sliding scale of loyalty points based on the decibels you create while attending. Minus points for every minute you're sat down saying "fucking hell, this is shit. FUCK OFF EDDIE. ALMIRON YOU CUNT" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a tried and tested method at other clubs. Yes, perhaps make sure they’re recording all the data (sure they are now) and perhaps at the end of next season they’ll have enough to make it viable.

Jobsagoodun. Eventually loyalty points will prevent it from being a lucky dip though. Tbh the ballot needs scrapped altogether amyway. It's an awful system. Go back to the old way but introduce loyalty points for members. As time progresses start with the thresholds. Man Utd away goes on sale to members with 10+ points first and so on. Then you're starting to reward loyalty instead of it being a lucky dip. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downside could be that everyone would just start applying for all games and passing tickets on if they couldn’t go, to ‘get the points’. So might inadvertently make getting a ticket harder.

Make it so people getting them in the ballot can't pass the ticket on to someone else and if they can't go then give it back to the club Like what they have done with away tickets Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Absolutely loads of you will pay extra if it means that’s the only way you can access the retro shirt remakes etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way to stop touting and passing on tickets is to check ID. IIRC at Man City they had a QR code that was dynamic and changed every few minutes on the app. But I think I still got a ticket by buying a membership (although obvs not a fan). There’s not really an incentive for the club to look into this IMO, since there’s no money to be made and it would cause lots of side issues.

Guest Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Yeah, well, I actually founded Newcastle United Football Club and hand stitched every original home kit. My Great Uncle is Vic Keeble. I was there when Tiote scored. I should be there every game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do the club get out of doing it at away games moneywise?

I guess the practical answer is that away tickets are more rare and it's easier to do the checks. Since there's not concept of loyalty for home fans their doesn't seem to be so much reason to restrict where the ticket ends up (is one view).

Also, given the queue situation last season, doing anything that will potentially worsen that would not go down well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Looking at the point comparison the club released the (fear of) ID checks definitely did their job. Some striking differences. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
