    Let me educate you.

    the selling phases go like this
    1st phase- Brackets A-B
    Requirement
    Season ticket plus x amount of points

    2nd phase- Brackets C-D
    Requirement
    Season ticket plus x amount of points

    3rd phase
    Requirement
    A season ticket

    4th phase
    General sale
    Anyone

    so how does giving 460 points to a ST holder matter

    Because a non season ticket holder could get 20 points for every home game. So why wouldn’t a season ticket holder?
    I think that is the point.
    Either that or tweak it so the points for a season ticket are greater than the sum of the individual games, not less.

    To elaborate, we have 14000 ST holders so if someone who is a ST holder wants to go then they can purchase within the 3rd phase of sales.
    Having 460 points is irrelevant

    Once we get into the Championship :eyes: then the issue of small away allocations will largely go away. Until then we will just have to deal with good travelling numbers and selling out away ends.

    I might be missing something here but if the 1st game of the season is away at some place with only 1000 visitor tickets, doesn’t the season ticket holder have just as many points as anyone else?

    No because points accrued this season are carried over to the next.

    That’s a very good point so the answer is not to give points for home games at all

    It seems like the club are trying to do two different things in one scheme, it won't work and it is actually unfair to people who travel regularly to start to include purchases/attendance at events other than City away games in the scheme.

    If anything, as some have suggested, there should be two separate schemes - one clubcard reward type scheme to reward for purchases at VP and a completely different away priority scheme for those who travel regularly.

    Calling either a "loyalty" scheme is ridiculous. Someone may have the time/means/will/sadistic tendencies and enjoy watching league 2 football/nothing else going on in their life which means they go to every game. That doesn't make them any more "loyal" than someone who can't afford it/has three young kids at home/works in a hospital and has to regularly work Saturdays.

    Actually the club are rebadging the scheme next season!

    This is from the ‘survey’ page:

    PLEASE NOTE: From next season, the scheme will change its name to the City Supporters Scheme, with the awarding of City Points based on fans’ purchases at the club.

    My gripe is that when I ‘purchase’ a Season Ticket, I should get all the points available, irrespective of whether I attend or not.

    Going through the turnstile is not making a separate ‘purchase’. Can the club explain how I have made an additional purchase, by going through a turnstile!?

    The club will still include my Season Ticket ‘purchase’ per game towards the ‘Attendance’ figure even if I don’t go to the game. As a ‘quid pro quo’ the club should award me the points as they want to maximise the ‘Attendance’ figures.

    If you buy a match ticket and don’t go you still get points so why the difference for season ticket holders

    weirdly I have had points for all the games except the same 4 that others have commented on and I have hardly been. Now someone said that they had actually got the points just they weren’t showing on the match by match breakdown backs my suggestion up that on the points page it should say how many points have been added in the past month to make it easier to track.

    This is one of the many basket ideas Ryan will come up with now.

    Fans will now start to suffer.

    Maybe they will sell play off home games via points allocation

    does anything to do with it? Plus at the time wasn’t sure what we had given Carlisle plus rumour round suites today was that we would be kicked out for more hospitality space

    You seriously think we’re going to give Carlisle more than the standard away allocation and it’s going to come down to points ?

    no, but most of the posts on this thread are pointless speculating so it fits in
