Most liked posts in thread: Loyalty Points & Priority for Away Matches

The internet was down. Nobody had their card scanned.
That's why the card machines were down too.

 

I am totally aware of that

 

For some reason today in the Morrisons Stand we didn't have to show our tickets and when I asked why they were not being scanned I was told the system was down, so will the club give all season ticket holder 20 points or will they show as mine does for the Grimsby home game "me and my grandson did not attend" which we did.

 

Out of interest did anyone get the season ticket scanned yesterday before entering the ground, if not it will be interesting to see if loyalty points are automatically update with 20 points for attending.

 

Does it even matter now ? Our last two away games are sold out and won't loyalty points be set back to zero at the start of 23/24 ?

 

They don’t reset them, or they certainly didn’t last summer.
Does look like Crewe is now sold out (or at least they’re showing as not available again)

 

I think that's fair? You should have been offered an alternative seat though, just as I have always been when having to move from my ST seat.

Home games should never be a problem, there's enough home seating for every ST holder, even if it isn't where we'd prefer.

 

Your seat not your season ticket.

As I posted when Arsenal came our section were grayed out, I rang the club to see why we couldn't get our usual seats and got put through to Dave Baldwin, he said they have been saved for hospitality, and if I wanted to sit in my seat it would cost me I believe £75 for a meal program and the hospitably suite, Dave said my seat is for league games only.

 

I had the rest of the stadium to chose my seat/seats but I expected the club to make some acknowledgment email ?, that season ticket holder in EXJ blocks would not be abler to claim them unless the paid hospitality, by the time I found out we got 6 seats at the back of the sunwin

 

That's happened since hospitality up there opened though Bronco. I'm surprised you've not come across it before if I'm honest?

Obviously in the less well attended games it's not an issue but in the big games clearly the club will want to maximise revenue.

 

I never said otherwise Steve, but as the Arsenal game was the biggest with regards attendance the club could have let us know by email our seats wouldn't be available unless we paid hospitality prices, but we got our seats for the Villa game after a word in someone's ear.. didn't I post that ?.

 

I believe the Arsenal game was the first time that situation arose, exactly Dave Baldwins argument with regards maximising revenue, as I said to him unfortunately the band wagon fans would not be at the following league two game against who ever, it will be the fan who puts in another 23 home games.

 

Sorry Bronco, I agree with the club on this one.

 

As i posted when the club allow the opposition to take the Midland Road side they make it known well in advance my argument was in our case they didn't, so thinking we would get our usual seats i never thought otherwise or I would have got better seats by booking earlier, but this still doesn't answer what Ryan means with regards the reply to @Stafford Bantam.

 

My point was not that I didn't get my seat more that the club just grayed the seats out with no explanation so I rang the club and asked why, after a conversation with Dave Baldwin I understood why, but nothing was said with regards our regular seat so then we had to go searching round the ground for 6 seats together when many others had already got theirs which wasn't ideal for 6b fans who attend every home game.

With regards your highlighted when we have early Cup games and friendlies the club notify fans of the situation and they know where seats will be available, where as they didn't for the Arsenal game, it seems you have not grasped my original point.

 

We ended up on the back row of the Kop, next to the drum, for the Arsenal game, instead of row F. Quite illuminating and I was glad to have a wall behind me on such a cold night.

Turning into a farce . Where does it
Stop

 

maybe the new scheme will not be. Maybe you will
Be able to use points for other things, eg use a number of points to get a discount in the shop but then those points come off your total. That way the scheme caterings for those that want to travel and those that don’t.

just simplify it by point per £ spent at the club, on whatever, then allow people either to build up points to get priority access or spend the points on discounts.

 

This is BS too.
We don’t want a Nando’s style reward system when you save up your points for a big reward then start at the bottom again.
What if Harrogate game is followed by Salford, you wouldn’t then get a ticket for both.
Nonsense idea!
