Reality is if you don’t have 1500+ points the only aways you’ll get all season are cup games, a couple of ballot games and Hull and Ipswich. Best to just accept that now than get worked up about it all season.
It was similar last season. I get the points system but it is a vicious cycle. If you have points, you get away tickets, get more points...so in effect you're points are growing at a faster rate as everyone else. Its become a closed shop.

Thankfully I've been successful in the ballot.

Shop was open before we were doing well though ay
 
The mistake was intimidating that all tickets would not sell out at 1500 and there would still be some available for 1400 points holders.
Did they do that? All I saw was them saying if you have 1500 points don't enter the ballot.

If you are referring to when they publish who had how many points everyone knew that was subject to change as games etc went by.
 
No, I disagree. The Club needs to explain how it sold out before 12:00 which is impossible with the category numbers they supplied earlier in the week.

Otherwise people will have no faith in the system and will start to believe that the Club is still allowing certain groups to have privileges they claimed had been withdrawn.
Maybe 100 went to players / staff for their families
 
They’ll sell out and the away end will be empty
Chance of points for those below 1500. Just the 400 odd mile round trip mid week. Will be like last year at Millwall. £10-15, 30 points we sell out to the 1500+’s but the away end 1/2 full. 😂
 
What’s the allocation? Can see the top tiers wanting tickets as it’s a bonus 20 points and a small allocation, so they’re further protected
Midweek, away and cup, think we get 30 :)
 
Fed up of seeing the whingeing on social media. The points system has been around for at least 4 or 5 seasons, if you've not accumulated enough points in that time, it's on you.

Yes it's unfortunate if you had to work weekends etc, but people who have been to every home and away game over 3 seasons trump your sob story.
Don't agree. Mostly same fans go to all away matches. Hardly fair. All season ticket holders who want to go to an away match should be included in a draw. Closed shop should end.
 
Question. To get away tickets, you need points, seemingly over 1500. How do you get that many? By going to away matches and having a season ticket. Sort of chicken and egg isn't it?

It’s not become a closed shop. Plenty of games last season and the season before went to general sale

If they want to go to away games that much they could have gone to pretty much every away game for the last couple of decades, because the closed shop has, up to now, been a figment of people's imagination

You get that many by going to the likes of Cardiff away on new years day, Sheffield Wednesday away, West Brom away on a Tuesday night, Millwall away on a Tuesday night - all games that went to general sale.

There were away games played before this season.

Yes but we are in a different place now.
My own view is the system is unfair.
It's an opinion, that's all.

I think it will become pretty much a closed shop this season, but people have been calling it that for a while now, but it hasn't been.
A lot of people also wanted a percentage of tickets to go to ballot, that's happened and people still dont seem happy.

There were still quite a few that got to general sale last season. Won’t be the case this year, and I fail to see the justification of 20 points for away games. You’ll reach the end of the season and 2500 fans will have added 300+ points as well as the 190 for their season ticket, whereas most will have added 20 points. Those ‘second tier’ of fans that are on 1200ish will just see their historic advantage over your bog-standard ST holder eroded quickly if we happen to stay up for a couple of seasons.
 
I've just discovered we get a bonus 10 points being an evening game for Arsenal. Imagine quite a lot of games will be moved so should stretch our lead over those not going quite comfortably and make it even easier to secure tickets later in the season. Happy days sll round, cheers Doug 👍
 
Some of us don't want to go to every away match. Doesn't mean that those that do should get the full set. Give another City fan the opportunity now & again.
You're absolutely right on this. I've had my share of going to away games for the past 40 years, so it's only fair that I stand aside and let you and your mates go to the Hill Dickinson, WHL & The Etihad. I hope you all have a lovely time. Would you be kind enough to post on the match chat please so I can still keep up with the score?

You can be included in a draw, but an away membership.

Myself and many others have only had ten points added so far?!
 
It says 10 in the description but 20 added.
