    I feel for you I really do. It’s fans like you that shouldn’t miss out but when I suggested using the points system for this game I got bashed probably by the people who got a ticket for Harrogate and that might be the only away game they go to.
    Crazy selling tactics again by the club but they’ll never learn and simply don’t care enough about looking after the most loyal fanbase.

    I was in the ticket office queue but I managed to get them online so I left.

    Were there many people there? They must have held some back then for people in the queue otherwise those waiting would have gone nuts.

    I’d say there were 30 people in the queue and as far as I was told they split the sales 50/50 so there would have been 275 available at the office. I’d say all those people in the queue got a ticket

    The club made it clear at the start of the season that having a priority ticket was the only way to get first dibs at tickets and that loyalty points would be in place from next season. To change it now would be wrong and whether you agree with people having priority for the closer games they'd rightly have a reason to complain and possibly go as far to say they've been miss-sold the priority membership.

    Awww bless, the ‘mis-selling’ brigade won’t be happy. They won’t have been mis-sold as using points would probably only have been used on this 1 occasion.
    Have you got priority card?
    Did you get a ticket for Harrogate?
    Are you going to Walsall tonight?
    How many away games do you attend?

    Sounds like a job for involvement from Irwin Mitchell. They are always looking for a new ambulance to chase.

    You seem to have a problem with regards other fans opinions in this thread, @Birky Bantam@Birky Bantam is correct you can't sell a product and then change the terms half way through the season to which they were originally sold to fans.
    What difference does it make if @Birky Bantam@Birky Bantam answers no to all your questions above.

    If next season they decide for a match that season ticket holders don't get priority over non-season ticket holders I can only assume you'd be fine with that.

    That’s a silly comparison.
    Here we are talking about a small band of 1000 fans where 550 of those will have more points than the other 450. The club had every right to change the rules in the same way as they’ve occasionally moved season ticket holders out of the Midland Road stand for league games to accommodate away fans.

    Every single person I spoke to in the queue yesterday said the points system should have been used for this game.

    I don't have a problem with the ones who have attended more away games such as @Mavis@Mavis but they should have been conditions set out
    before purchasing a priority ticket, unfortunatly there will be winners and losers thank goodness if won't apply next season.

    The financial discrimination brigade will be out in force next season.
    “I lost my job and couldn’t afford away games. Now I can’t get a ticket”
    I think we agree though that you’ll never please everyone.

    No to be honest I forgot and by the time I realised the deadline had gone, after the Tranmere debacle and Saturdays poor showing I wasn't that bothered.

    Points were never on the agenda for this season, everyone knew that. Get over it.

    I dunno but the next time this conversation could crop up is for Sutton last away game of season.
    If we need something to get into top 7 then they really do have to use the points system and no reason not to with it being the final game.

    Stevenage tickets aren't shifting in 30seconds like the last lot did.
