Loyalty Points & Priority for Away Matches

Or Scotland

 

Which is ridiculous in itself. You shouldn't be able to buy loyalty points even though it may help the club. The current system will be fine once it is bedded in for a year

 

Got bored after ten, but that's got to be at least 50 votes for a priority card.

 

What really pisses me off about the current loyalty scheme is the allocation of points for attending home games, even when you've already bought a season ticket.
Due to weddings and other events, postponed from the last two years because of Covid, I'm going to miss quite a few home games this Autumn. Why should I be penalised for that when I've already bought the ticket for those games?

 

Should have just sold priority cards again. 1000x£30. = £30k to the club with the same bitching as now but money for the club's account

 

You’ll have sell it to a mate when you can’t make it to a game, that way you’ll get a few quid back and the points. I know, ethically questionable but maybe the club needs to address the issue you raise.

 

We could have sold them for £50

 

Exactly the same for me working shifts.

If anything, I've shown even more loyalty to the club by buying an ST for the last decade or two even when knowing I'll miss more than a fair chunk every season.

 

The loyalty points can only be used to gain access to away games, therefore the only way you should be able to earn loyalty points is by attending away games. Simple really.
What next ? 100 points for buying a car park space or 50 points for buying a replica shirt.
Or how about 5 points for buying a pint at the tea bar?

 

Or what about if you buy a car from JCT 600 it’s 1000 points for showing loyalty to our main long term sponsor.

 

I wouldn't be surprised. It's all about money and it comes above rewarding away support. The 20 points for a home game attendance is because they reckon people will visit the shop, buy food and drink etc when they won't on an away ticket.
Making money is why the ticket office is now a small booth inside the shop.

 

A better idea would be to have a separate ‘rewards’ points total which can be redeemed against anything Bradford City related except away tickets.
Anything you buy from the club depending on value has a weighted reward which if saved up over a number of seasons might even give a free season ticket or shirt?
But loyalty points for away tickets should be kept separate and only earned from attending away games.

 

So when last season the stewards could not get their scanners to work and waved us through we lost loyalty points because of the club's incompetence?, I was of the understanding buying a season ticket entitled you to 23 x whatever home matches accrued, 10/20 points.

 

Seems that’s not the case and is the exact reason that home games shouldn’t yield any points.
Many of our fans live out of the area and cannot attend midweek games but travel to all weekend away games.
Over the season they’ll have less points than someone attending all home league and cup fixtures.
Stupid isn’t it?

 

have they confirmed if you get the points or not if you don’t attend?

 

I got points for all the games last year and yet only attended 4 so unless someone cloned my card it looks like we got points if we had card scanned or not

 

that was my understanding, as that is my position, but some seem to be saying they have only got points for the games they attended.

I wondered if it was dependent on how/where you entered the ground
