    Isn't this connected to my earlier post? Those that buy tickets get more points, as the same people buy tickets every match then their points go up and the points per band increase meaning that those that were unable to buy tickets due to smaller allocations remain at a disadvantage and lower on points until the larger away allocations come in?

    That's roughly what I was thinking, though it's a peripheral issue for me. Isn't there a risk that those with most points get the tickets for away games and therefore accrue more points and so get the tickets for the next away game. No one else can catch up because they can never get to a game. I haven't really taken much interest in the issue so someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

    I've been to the Donny game and got a ticket for Barrow. I couldn't have done any more!

    It's what I've been wondering. Trouble with new systems and trying to make them work is that you can spend so long trying to make it work and sorting out the process that it's easy to forget that the customers need educating on how it works and constant education too!

    the membership had massive drawbacks in that it was available to anyone with the cash. The new system rewards those that watch regularly.

    Plus the new system could actually increase the income due to people buying tickets directly from the club so they get their cut. And people buying tickets to other games for the points

    This could only be possible if all allocations were the same, which they’re not.

    Also, highly doubtful that we have such a wealthy fan base to buy tickets even with no intent on going

    Yes. The hard core who went to most away games last season will always be ahead of everyone else and will always get first dibs on the limited allocation tickets, provided they keep going to most away games. Those with a lower starting figure can never catch up, even if they start going to most away games.

    If they awarded, say, 10 loyalty points for every year of season ticket purchase then that person would still get the points for all the years they've supported, even if they don't currently hold a season ticket. Obviously they wouldn't get the points for this year's ST, but would for any pay on the day games attended.
    I accept that it's not possible to please or cater to everyone. I just think that , when it comes to big cup games in particular, longevity of support is equally worthy of recognition as current away attendance.

    I think that is why they should include an expiry date, say 12 months on the points. That way people can not build unsurmountable lead.

    Fact is, there is no perfect way to resolve this and there will always be some group (or individual) that is unhappy however they do it. We are probably the only club in L2 who have this issue and it's a good problem to have.

    I used to go away, now I doubt if I go to a match a season, so it doesn't affect me at all. I'll just choose a match where the issue doesn't exist.

    Chelsea peed me off because (like all of us) I heard anecdotes of people who went who wouldn't know the ladies toilets from the gents in VP or would have needed directions to get there.

    There is only one long term solution and that is to get into the Championship as soon as possible.

    I'm moaning about the absolute shit show of a ticketing site we have, what does this even mean?

    Looking back at the sales of away games so far, the bands seen far too high. How can we be getting to season ticket sales for games with only 600 tickets available. Are they only reserving 400 tickets before putting it out to free for all. I would love to see what these bands are. For both Barrow and Hartlepool I was not expecting any tickets to make it to below the bands as set out.

    anyone know when loyalty points are updated?
    I've purchased tickets for Barrow, Hartlepool and Colchester away and Hull at home and I'm still on the same number of points I was at the start of the season (960).

    Usually after the game. My points for Sunderland were added after the game, my Hull points haven't been added but my Donny points have.

    My points for Barrow have still not been added.
