    It's time City fans realised we're crap league two fodder, and we should not be commanding championship away followings... then we could all get a ticket !!

    4 people want to travel and ideally sit together. You following?
    2 people out of the 4 had 1050 points and so bought in Band A. You following?
    1 person had 950 points so bought 1 ticket in band D. Following ?
    We now have 3 tickets but one person sat on their own.
    The 4th person of our group had 940 points so had to wait until today. Keeping up?
    So rather than buy another single ticket and have 2 people sat separately, I was lucky enough to get 2 tickets this morning using another friends ST who never travels away.
    So we have the 4 tickets we needed albeit not all sat together and we have 1 spare which I’ve offered for sale on here.
    I hope that’s a clear and concise explanation your honour.

    It’s the 2, 600 allocations causing the issue . Hopefully Mansfield should be smoother for people

    Yes we can all see what you have done and why. It is another illustration of the shortcomings of this system. Your friend who never travels away now has more points than someone who does. I am pretty certain that isn't what was intended at the outset.

    Yet both 600 allocations didn't sell out before the season ticket without loyalty points bun fight. Maybe they aren't as loyal as their points suggest.

    If I had bought one of these daft 1903 memberships last year which meant I would have attended precisely zero extra games, I would have moved up 2 bands for Hartlepool tickets. So it's just another example of how this scheme is just thrown together.

    Purchasing a 1903 Club membership: 40 loyalty points.

    The scheme is trying to do too much. It rewards away travel to only a smallish degree. What it rewards in spades is parting with cash to club coffers. To then use that to decide who gets an away ticket is asking for trouble.
    People who don't by and large go away but can afford the cash spend large on everything so that if a future Chelsea away comes along they are sitting pretty.
    Which means those of us who would like to go to Barrow etc are scrambling for tickets when they are released to season ticket holders.
    The system isn't simple, isn't easy to run for the ticket office, and the ticketing website people clearly struggle with it. It affects supporter travel clubs and is I think rather unpopular with fans.
    How it develops as the season progresses rather depends on what other point acquiring opportunities the club dream up next.

    To get 2 seats together yes because the club couldn’t / wouldn’t help and the risk of Hartlepool stewards being a set of twats and enforcing correct seats are sat in.
    Simple solution to this is unreserved seating at away games.

    What do I complain about? Chancers paying £30 to guarantee them a ticket but rarely travel away.
    I’ve done nothing wrong this morning as everyone had the same opportunity of a ticket. I was lucky.
    So I ask you what would you do now?
    Return the ticket to the ticket office or
    Sell it to someone on here who probably travels away regularly but narrowly missed out?

    It's not as if the club have suddenly sprung it on fans, we knew the priority cards/tickets would not be available as from this season so fans who wanted to get the best chance of attending away games this season had all last season to increase their loyalty points total by attending away games, I don't go to as many away games as the likes of yourself and many more but if my loyalty points don't get me a ticket for a specific game then there is no one to blame but myself.

    Once again your argument doesn't hold water these chancers all had the opportunity to purchase a priority card/ticket at the start of last season, because someone doesn't attend as many away games as the likes of yourself once again you bellyache about them, your anger should be directed at the club for selling them season on season.

    Maybe a little bit of "do as I say not as I do" .

    Because by doing that I didn’t gain any advantage over the other 16000 season ticket holders

    Well not exactly because he only has about 500 points from having a ST and attending home games last season.
    So is in no way better off than someone who goes away more frequently.
