I thought it was well explained: They won't be recording points anymore, but if you identify on purchasing tickets it may benefit you if demand is high.

So basically they are not adding the points up anymore as we go along but if demand is high for a game they will go thru everybodies purchases to date and allocate tickets on a priority basis. Would have thought it would be easier to continue updating and only use the priority system when they need to.

It says something but means nothing. Not saying the old one was to everyone’s taste. But this is to nobody’s taste as it’s doesn’t explain a thing

So basically what you buy no longer contributes towards points that can be used to gain priority access to in demand tickets . However, if tickets are ever in demand again they’ll look through all those purchases to give points in lieu ?

Season card holders first, then general sale if any left I don’t mind that scenario either. And if they’d said that then it would be fair enough. I’ve only been to 3 away so far. My youngest has been to 4 the eldest only 1. Non on those have been put against our accounts. Does it start from the next away game???

I cant see what was wrong with the old priority scheme, those who were/are prepared to travel up and down the country irrespective of form should get priority when tickest are limited,it only sounds fair, even though i got my points to a respectable total there were still plenty more with more points than me.

The problem with that system is you get the same folk going to away games all the time and younger/new fans rarely getting the chance because they can't amass enough points.

The problem with that system is you get the same folk going to away games all the time and younger/new fans rarely getting the chance because they can't amass enough points. But that's simply not true. Younger/new fans were able to get tickets for all but a few, very high profile, games. And it was only right that the "same folk" got the tickets for those games. You know, those "same folk" who have just been to Blackpool, Swansea, Luton etc. And (apart from Luton) any Younger/new fans would have been able to go to those games.

If its the case that there's plenty of tickets for most away games then what's the problem with them scrapping the system? As an older fan of 54 years and counting, I missed out on having the chance to go to most PL away games because I'd not bought a season ticket for two of the previous ten qualifying years when I'd first moved to Jockland. For me the best system is all season ticket holders on a first come first served basis and then general sale.

Again, simply not true. MOST Premier league away games went on general sale to Town fans with a purchasing history.

Some went into a ballot but there was no guarantee that you could sit with your mates if you didn't have the same number of points. But again even if you're correct on that, then why would we need to continue with loyalty points if there were/are plenty of tickets available.

It clearly tells me fuck all about that too, but I will found out if & when it happens according to the criteria the club decides upon when they deem it necessary, so I know all I need to know for now!

But again even if you're correct on that, then why would we need to continue with loyalty points if there were/are plenty of tickets available. I am correct on that, it's just true, not an opinion. Not being able to sit with your mates is not the same as being denied the chance to see the game. There were some games that were very "desirable" and anyone could guess which they were. Tickets were obviously at a premium. Most games, however, weren't over subscribed. The point of the scheme was there may be games that are more desirable again. If there are, consistent loyalty is rewarded. If there aren't, nothing lost. I wasn't able to go to every Premier away game that I wanted to, either. @i was lucky enough to go to places like Southampton, Newcastle, Brighton, Swansea, Watford, Bournemouth, Palace et al. None of which, amongst others, sold out. All the while I was earning loyalty points for future games. That's what Town were telling me. But now some have the opinion that any season ticket holder should get an equal opportunity to get a ticket for, say, Coventry away near the end of the season. I say that's bollocks.

The club told me I was building up a loyalty "score" over the past 4 seasons. They were being deceiptful. That's all you need to know for now.

Can you not be content that you got a pint at Southampton, I enjoyed mine, or that you saw a great win at Watford, I missed that one, and maybe just accept we are not in PL anymore & we need to move on from what was pertinent then, but is now a total waste of fucking time & money?
