    6 of one half a dozen of the other both at it tugging at each other, Stockport looking a very ordinary side.

    Yes.
    And only 600 went to loyalty points.

    They haven't really mentioned many details only what the pecking order is.

    I guess the ticket office will be open and in addition prices will be released at some point. Though it looks like £21 on Carlisle's website so it's likely to be the same.

    It suggests 1450 was the top 960. However 300 of thoss passed on the chance.

    So back then if 1450 was the top 960. With the games since only a few points will have been added since then. 2 x home games, the points for Northampton itself and possibly Swindon and Late buyers of Crewe tickets.
    So on average 40 to 60 points.

    So that 960 would move to about 1510, however as the allocation is double what it was at Northampton it appears to include a good 1000 points below leaving us at 1380.

    I have no doubt the 1380 is the top 1,800, but of those 1,800 there will be a number who won't go due to various reasons. Expect about 500 tickets left come Tuesday morning.

    My lad is on 1460.
    2 years of season tickets
    Extra purchases for home games for friends
    18 home games this season.
    10 away games.

    I'm on 1520
    A few more home games but same number of away games but I've had more purchases of home tickets for friends who want to come to matches.

    Imo there will be around 1250 people in the bracket of 1380 upwards.
    Not all these will purchase leaving as I think around 1k left for season ticket holders.
    The low number of loyalty points is so we don't go into a 2nd day of needing points for sales.
    As far as I know, no number over 1k has been sold after 2 days of sales to the band's of loyalty points.
    Just my thoughts.
    Let's see.

    You don't get points for tickets for others. So the 60 point difference will be 3 games,

    This is true. I have bought various extras under my name. The first purchase gets the points, unless it's a league game where it goes to the season ticket.

    I have 1340 as well.

    But, but, but I checked which games I have been allocated points against and there are still no points awarded for home games against Salford, Rochdale, Hartlepool and Grimsby!

    I have written to the club and had a response from Townson, despite me replying and confirming I was at all four games the points have not been corrected!

    That would have brought my total up to 1420 and I would have been eligible for Carlisle away.

    I have given up for Carlisle Away, Cheese grater for me!

    However the computer system/scanners etc are ‘not fit for purpose’. These issues will continue until it is replaced.

    To clarify as many have already clarified, the scanners at the turnstiles are irrelevant as you get the points added even if you don’t attend.
    The missing points aren’t actually missing , they just don’t show up on the purchase history.
    Your points total is probably correct.

    I’ve been told that 1400 tickets are going on sale to the required points holders leaving at least 400 for general season ticket holders the next day.

    I can’t imagine why they’d sell block 1 first to the priority band and give the best seats closer to half way to general sale but you never know

    Everyone just sits wherever anyhow. I thought you attended away games.

    If you have a system, then it should accurately reflect how much is in it and how the transactions have occurred.

    If a Bank behaved in such a manner there would be questions about their competence.

    If City are a competent business then they should be able to demonstrate it in your account!

    To be fair, it seems across the board that people are missing points for home games.

    If everyone was granted these points and I am missing about 40 all that happens in the cut off rises anyhow.

    Add 40 to 80 points to everyone as that seems to be the ballpark of missing points and the 1380 cut off rises by the same amount.

    Clearly the scanning system is not fit for purpose and everyone should just be granted points for their season ticket, however the cut off is designed based on the top loyalty points so we could add 100 points to everyone and then hundreds say yay I have over 1380 now, but in line with that addition you then see that target increase also.

    There clearly is a range of error with many tickets, I put mine down to about 40/60 points, but if they add those points I go from about 1650 to 1710 so it doesn't matter on this occasion, but if everyone is on the same error range then they contra out.

    I do agree they should be spot on for everyone however, but this issue is far from just your account.

    Of course I do and I see the confusion, irritation and potential conflict at most of the sellout games where stewards tell you to sit in allocated seat, some people comply and some ignore.
    The answer is to make away games unreserved seating but until that time comes, most people do actually sit in their reserved seat.

    I didn’t know you could actually check against which games you earned your points. I’ll have to suss that out on the web site.
