It would still be massively dependant on a ballot though as demand from members to even attend the games would be huge , you would have to put them all in a ballot to decide who actually got to attend and then the lucky ones would be allowed to build up points and the rest would be no better off than they are now .

 

You don't HAVE to use a ballot system. Most clubs don't.

The club wouldn’t have have to put all tickets in a ballot just because we introduce member loyalty points or tiers 

 

Could still do what we do now, where you get several bites of the cherry:

 

1) ballot 

2) member sale 

3) ST resale

4) get another member to buy the ticket for you in member sale or ST resale 

5) a season ticket holder can transfer a ticket to a member

6) wouldn’t count towards hypothetical member loyalty points, but someone can “illegally” transfer you a spare ticket via email 

 

If you really, really, really want a ticket and are determined, you’ll find a way to get one for all home games

 

As plenty of us on here can testify to

 

Only games I haven’t got a ticket for since Oct 2021 was a handful I was on holiday so I didn’t even try

 

And I’m a bit of a weirdo, but I’m not some cyborg sent back from the future to destroy the ticketing past. I’m just very determined to go to every game, just like I used to before I jacked my ST because of Ashley

Pretty easy really. You build points up by attending games. Whether ST holder (allocated x amount upon purchase), cup scheme, away tickets, ballot, resale. Yes away loyalty points still count before people fucking whinge about those too. 
 

Each type ticket has a weighting/point attributed to it depending on criteria (distance/attractiveness - midweek against L2 opponents in 3rd round FA cup etc) which in essence means you have a total score built up over time, based on the above. Which then gives said ‘holder’ an opportunity for rewards. A bit like air miles on a CC.

 

What this means is essentially, no freebies per se, but just opportunities for ‘pots’ when it comes to cup games (finals or whatever), European games, away games, season ticket opportunities, you name it. 
 

Essentially just trying to make it fairer and similar to how a lot of the clubs do it.
 

This way those who want to be aren’t eternally locked out of a closed shop forever, or lumped in a pot 6 category with those who could only be arsed to press ‘apply for ballot’. 
 

Christ it’s not difficult really. Whether the system is adequate to do such things is another question mind.

Have made my feelings known in that survey, pretty much echoed bobbydazzla's concerns

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Selfishly I want the current system to continue because I always get a ticket in the general or resale. But I think the only fair way (without tiers of support) is 100% ballot. 

 

I would love some kind of system of loyalty but they've dug themselves into a whole by making game attendance based on a large amount of randomness. 

 

Obviously gutted about the cup final decisions too, but I half expected it.
