    I'm sure tickets will be sold to season ticket holders in a small window to retain your seat, then be a free for all. It's a small window of sales so expect it to go live tomorrow, with any none season ticket seats free from the get go.

    I would just like the home points to be allocated, for all the games I have bought a ticket for!

    My purchase history shows I didn't get anything for the Grimsby match, but the points are in my total. You can't rely on the purchase history.

    I don't agree with away tickets not being made available on general sale. If the demand from season ticket holders has been met then why not?

    I'm on 650
    season ticket last season and this, 4 away games last season.
    Adams killed my passion for away games early doors.
    Did Exeter, Orient, Salford and Forest before I gave up.
    Its back though this season.
    Already got hotel booked for Colchester away.

    Could be interesting this season. Last away game at Sutton, not many priority card holders took up their option and there was a questionable bunch taking seats that were allocated to families etc. sit where we want brigade (standing). Was a bit unpleasant and disappointing to those who traveled to enjoy the game.

    I can see a lot of disappointment this season for those who like to book hotels and train travel in advance for a weekend trip. When the priority cards were an available option you could plan. Now it looks like pot luck with away tickets.

    It’s an easy concept.
    Rank all season ticket holders by points accrued.
    If we get allocated 650 tickets - take the top 650 by points and initially demand however many points the 650th has - so those top 650 get fair chance.
    Then after a window of exclusivity reduce the demand until all tickets are gone.

    There isn’t an away priority card this year.
    I think that was used last year whilst fans were given the opportunity to acquire loyalty points for the following season

    if that is the plan then they misrepresented that last season as that wasn’t how the majority of people took what they said

    when they announced the new scheme they said those with more points would have priority, so that rule out a priority ticket because that could mean the person with the most points not being top priority if they do not buy. A card

    They should give out 100 points for Papa John games

    Apparently details on priority for the upcoming season will be sent out to supporters in the next couple of weeks.

    So we will be guessing and speculating till then

    Strange! Same number as me and I did get to a couple of away games, yet I also missed out for a few months of home games, due to health issues.
    As @Onside@Onside has far fewer points, yet has a Season Ticket, I assume that the number must increase if the ticket is used.
    Since they sometimes struggle to scan the ticket at the turnstile, yet let people through, then I wonder how it works.
    I can see some insisting that their card is properly scanned before going through, if it effects their ability to purchase away tickets.

    It’s an easy concept. The more points you have the higher up the pecking order you are. There will be no priority away card and rightly so.
    If the club back track on that I’ll be furious and complain that the acquisition of loyalty points last season was in fact mis selling.

    I presume it will be Priority cards with 800 points (example), get 48 hours to purchase, then Priority cards with 650 points (example) get 48 hours, then all priority card holders get 48 hours etc.

    As I say, all speculation until it's announced.

    so all priority card holders before the bloke with 1000 points? Not sure how that gives him any priority

    780 points.

    It will make it interesting for next season though...I attended quite a few away games on my own as my two lads lost a bit of interest so they don't have anywhere as many as me so whether I will just be able to get a single ticket for me or be allowed to buy additional ones for family?

    This is an example of what Sheffield Wednesday (who issue a similar number of points for attending matches) do.

    The required points varies according to the away capacity and likely demand. I picked Fleetwood as, for Sheffield Wednesday, it was a very high demand fixture:
    https://www.swfc.co.uk/news/2022/february/ticket-details-fleetwood-v-owls/
    TPP = Ticket Priority Points

    For that match, at Fleetwood (1,129 tickets), they sold out on the morning of Friday 11 February, that is the 'Season Ticket holders with 800 or more TPP' stage.
