    The loyalty scheme is in place. You can see your points by logging into your account. I have over 700, others have over 800 whilst others are in the 600s. You'll know soon enough how it will work with Barrow in the middle of Summer being offered to those with over X points which will probably cover the top 600 on the loyalty chart. They will have one or two days to buy a ticket and then the bar will be lowered to give everyone a chance. My guess is if you have less than 700 at this stage you aren't going to Barrow, Hartlepool or Harrogate early in the season.

    Every tinpot allocation is prior to November this year, Barrow, Hartlepool, Harrogate, Salford, Sutton. In between these there are long haul away trips on an evening.

    Away tickets will be difficult to grab until later in the season.

    Well I fly in to Yeadon on Friday day before Stockport at home (brings back memories- didn’t our keeper Ramsbottom score in one at VP?), leave morning after Salford away. If we are top of the leagues, I reckon my chances of a ticket will be less than zero. But fair’s fair, tickets need to go to the regulars. Get your points built up !

    I'd think if you bought a season ticket those points for the 23 home games would go straight on no reason not to the club have our money and there may be a time when a fan can't attend they shouldn't be penalised, I would hope that's the case as at times the stewards have messed about trying to scan my ticket and eventually waved me through.

    Pretty sure the whole point of loyalty points is to stop people (like me last season) just paying £30 to queue jump.
    It rewards those who go to the most games.
    I don’t think it’s a presumption, it’s just how loyalty schemes work generally.

    When we went 2-0 up in the replay against Millwall in 2015 I went online from my seat at VP and bought a priority card to guarantee a ticket for the Chelsea game. I'd actually been to plenty of away games that season without one, but anyone could have done likewise whether they'd been to any games or not.

    I don't go to many away games nowadays but a proper loyalty scheme like the one mentioned that Sheffield Wednesday have is long overdue.

    So you’d prefer it to be a free for all for everyone who just might fancy going to an away game?
    I understand that peoples life circumstances change over time but it’s not feasible to keep the availability of away tickets open to everyone.
    We’re a big club with large fanbase in a tinpot league where only 400 tickets are available for some games. For now a loyalty points system is the only fair way to ensure regular away travellers get first dibs but hopefully once we are back up to Championship level with larger away allocations it will be less of a problem.

    Confirmation on Twitter that there will be no away priority membership scheme this season. Further details to be announced this week.

    Not necessarily. Depends how long they did it for.
    It not just about away game attendance. Someone who's been buying season tickets every year for 20/30/40/50 years has just as much right to go to away local derbies or other limited availability matches as some nineteen year old who has followed City around the country every other week for three years.

    It is for me, but then I don't really agree with all the priority card/loyalty points thing anyway. I believe if you want to go watch city then you should have as much chance as anybody, no fan is more important than any other in my eyes.

    I think the only fair way is to put forward tributes from each block of the ground and let them fight out a glorious battle in the middle of the pitch at half time. If you win you get a golden away priority ticket to be redeemed for you and your chosen uber fans at glorious venues like Barrow and Sutton.

    ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the inaugural ticketing games.

    I disagree. A 70 year old with forty years of season ticket purchases may have neither the money nor the health to travel round the country every other week, but may wish to go to (eg) the Harrogate away game, which is accessible. I don't see why that supporter should have no chance of a ticket, but a sixteen year old who went to regular away games for the first time last season gets first dibs.
    I think they should, for example, award ten loyalty points for each previous year of season ticket purchase, which would give long-standing supporters a chance of getting scarce tickets when they want them.

    England away travel club have the perfect solution to this .
    70 % for top point scorers
    30% random ballot for the rest of the people who applied
    It then benefits top point scorers but also gives others chance to build there points .
    Too much hassle for city thou for the amount of games it will be needed .

    Slightly less complex than the WHU scheme, I hope BCAFC have decent IT systems to handle it.

    To counter - its just buying a ticket!!

    What's the need for FOUR bands and then a season ticket band.

    It's unnecessarily complicated.

    Plus they will be constantly dealing with people who are querying their points or can't log in or there's an error AND they'll have to turn the queries round in less than 24 hours otherwise the person loses their ticket as the next band may buy them all. They are putting themselves under unnecessary pressure.

    It seems you only get them if you turn up, earlier on in the thread I asked the question if any season ticket holders has less than 610 points (23 home games @ 20 points plus 150 for season ticket) and there were some that were lower than that.

    I think you can add Stockport, Grimsby and Doncaster to that list this season.

    A truly abject performance that day at Carlisle. The abuse the players and Adams got, I have rarely seen in my time watching this club

    Barrow the first away game, Hartlepool on an August Saturday will both sell out easily and quickly.

    Barrow took a while last time because it was in the middle of winter at a time Covid was threatening to close things down again like it did in Wales and Scotland and it was on the back of dire performances as the Adams shitshow was starting to be laid bare.
