I personally think the club should introduce a points system , season ticket holders default at 23 points plus 3 points added on per away game attended .
That means that a supporter who has attended 10 away matches could be in the same priority bracket for away tickets as season ticket holders , as some people who have been to every away game will miss out on this .
I am a ST holder but don’t think away supporters are valued enough , I think the club should address this in the future

How have people been to every away game if they aren't ST holders? Clubs will always prioritise season ticket holders regardless of away games where it's the other club making money.

It's the same as every game with a smaller allocation. People will always miss out.

There's no point having a points system at this level for potentially 2 or 3 games a season.

Why would the club reward a NOPM supporter who only goes to away games?

That's always going to happen when the demand is much bigger than what's available, no matter how it's done.

I just think there's a better solution than the current mayhem. I feel sorry for anyone that invested in a match pack or a membership in the vague hope of getting priority on anything other than branded screenwash this season!!!

Without going over all the pros and cons, on the face of it a points system would be a great idea. I completely agree season ticket holders should be first priority but on high profile games, they should only get 2 tickets. Just because you have a friend who is a season ticket holder, shouldn't give them the same advantages of the ST holder. Can't get a ticket for that 3rd or 4th friend? Tough luck, buy a season ticket.

Saturday will be my 12th home game of the season. It's almost worth me getting a season ticket but I can't commit.

The memberships get you into a different priority level, it doesn't guarantee you a ticket. It's impossible if there's not enough tickets to go around.

:emoji_point_down:

I've said since MK that we need to consider bringing in a loyalty points scheme, to help deal with games like this but it went down like a lead parachute on here.
Can never be perfect but just anything to bring some form of recognition to those that go the games, for in demand away tickets.

I.e. Priority 1 -
Season Ticket Holders + (With an Allocation of two tickets per ST, to two customer references that have X Loyalty Points)


Priority 2 -
Fans that have Y Loyalty Points or More

Priority 3 -
Fans that have Z Loyalty Points or more

ST Holders/JSB Members/Match Pack Members/Sky Blue Spotted Dick Members - Get X Loyalty Points at the start of the season, so that way they have been given recognition and a headstart/advantage for away tickets over pay as you go fans like myself.

Just an idea.

It's a shame that the 8 foot trench around the pitch that was proposed on the 'Will Cov Fans Behave at County' isn't in place for the County away game, for every pitch invader/smoke bomber stuck in the trench, they could allow a City fan in the home end to take their now-empty seat!

We'll all be priced out of it by then (apart from Nick of course).

That's because I can go to games without having to spend loads on beer, drugs, food, parking, trains etc.

I'll be there in 2023 for the Premier League winning season eating a £3 meal deal from One Stop ;)

£3 these days. What’s that a packet of crisps and a one stop:finger: brand coke?

I think you can get a bottle of Coke, sandwich and a sausage roll. Much better than £6 on a hot dog or whatever it is if counting pennies.

Oh yeah. Ricoh prices in particular are just silly. £5 plastic bottle of warm carlsberg. I bet that costs them 25p.

I rarely do, but if we have been out on a Saturday morning we usually just stop off at One Stop for a meal deal on the way.

There are people who sit by me who mustn't eat all week the way they have chips, hot dogs, drinks, chocolate bars and crisps.

That's one of the reasons I don't go to the cinema anymore. People insist on having a noisy three course meal as soon as the lights go down - really pisses me off

Points systems are used at many clubs, and we had one many seasons ago (tickets were allocated based on 'stamps'). There have been many games this season where tickets sold in a few hours - Lincoln, Luton, Exeter, Cheltenham, Forest Green, Brighton and next week. It makes sense to have a points based system where demand is very high. Most other clubs have it and it would be easy for ticketmaster to implement.

But all those games sold out to season ticket holders which would surely be at the top of the points system so it wouldn't have mattered.

That's the thing, they didn't really get past the first priority so somebody could have been to every single away game but they still wouldn't have got priority over ST holders as there wasnt enough to go around.

No, that's not how they work. Priority is given to ST holders with say 10+ stamps/points, then 5+, then just season ticket holders and so on (just as an example). It would only apply for very high demand games. Englandfans works like this and many clubs employ this kind of priority system. If we were facing Exeter in the play-offs and received 350 tickets, having a system where first priority went to ST holders who had attended 10+ away games would be fair and few would quibble.

I'd have no issue with that.

Only thing is at the minute it might be needed in League 2. If we get promoted it might not be needed as much apart from a cup game etc.
