There’s no way to earn loyalty points unless you already have at least about 75. 

It’s not that high, but you’re overall point that if you haven’t got any, it’s very difficult/impossible to start, is fair.

 

I do think it’ll start to become more accessible again in time (even without any changes to how things work), but it’s gonna take a while.

What was the point in the periods after 3 then if what just a straight shootout for the remaining tickets.


Why order them in a way that seems merit based? To save website traffic?

I don’t think it was a “straight shootout” as such. I think if you were in p4 you had a far greater chance of a ticket than if in p7, for example.

 

Appreciate that’s absolutely fuck all consolation if you’ve missed out in p4 and you’re seeing someone in p7 that’s got one like.

Can anyone who has recieved a successful email please confirm if a payment has come out and if it has, was it debit or credit card?

 

My only hope is that a late payment is taken from a credit card (took 24 hours last time).

Says pending on my credit card. I feel for you with the ticket situation btw. I still maintain a PRIORITY eligibility criteria should mean tickets are distributed to those with priority then roll over down the categories until they're gone.

No email for me. Not too down as I knew there was negligible chance, just a tad disappointed when my dad and everyone we go to the match with are all going except me. :lol:

 

Ah well. Just hope I can get to 1 or 2 aways in the rest of this season if anyone can help me out to satisfy the FOMO.

Ian, maybe you should come back in the thread tomorrow with comments like this?  People are very disappointed and stuff like this just winds them up.

 

There are lots of comments on Twitter where P4s (season ticket holders) have missed out and and P5-7s (P6 = 1 cup match this season) have got tickets.

 

I know 2 P6s who both got tickets, while our P4 applications did not.

 

It is OK for people to be aggrieved about that while they get their head around it, without you being in here accusing them of being miserable.

I was in period 6 but didn’t enter the ballot as logistically would have been a nightmare.

 

without looking at it too in-depth They should have scrapped period 2 as very few were actually on that period and made period 3 in to 2 and 4 in to 3. Other than that it was always gonna be unfair to some. 
 

hope those that missed out can put their  disappointment aside and enjoy the final wherever they are watching it.

Always going to be people disappointed. I think it’s great that STs don’t have priority for everything and that there’s a chance for members to get a ticket.

 

otherwise all those who applied for a ST in the summer and failed faced being locked out of all games indefinitely. 
 

There’s still a vastly reduced chance of getting a ticket if you’re only a member but seems fair to me to open up a small amount to them.

You must know that your anecdotal experience means nothing? I’m gutted as well, but unless there were 100k tickets lots of people will be. 
 

Admittedly my timing might be bad, apologies for that.

Buy a ticket for 19 games and pay 6 months in advance when you have no idea when the games will be but might give a cup final ticket to a member instead of you. Not right that.


Everyone would buy a ticket for 19 games if they could.
