Because they’re supporting the team?
They are contributing zero to the playing budget
Yes, but that’s obviously not the only consideration when it comes to deciding who should follow the team away from home. If it was, we could just give away the ticket priority with every prawn sandwich in the CBS corporate areas and be done with it.

Well no, because that would exclude season ticket holders who make a massive contribution to the clubs budget and who provide the club with some finance to keep it going through the fallow months of close season.
If budget contribution is the only consideration then we should either give priority to those who spend the most on home tickets (I’m sure some corporate packages cost more for a single game than my season ticket does) or just auction off access to away games to the highest bidder. Sound fair?
So you want to exclude the collective contribution of season ticket holders?
You're not making sense. And I don't know where those with corporate packages stand when it comes to away tickets but I'd imagine they get some sort of priority, and they should.
Well I’m floating it in response to someone suggesting that people who don’t contribute to the playing budget shouldn’t receive any credit. If that’s the only yardstick by which we’re judging fans then it’s pretty clear that the highest rollers are the most deserving of tickets.
Personally I think the club should recognise the loyalty of fans attending at home, and away from home, whatever the price point. They need to not only encourage people to buy more tickets, but also to back the team wherever they’re playing. It seems like that’s broadly what they’re doing.

0How many points do you get for a iFollow season ticket, asking for a friend.
They'll never please everyone and on the whole this appears pretty fair.
Tbh bar Exeter I've never struggled to get away tickets despite much of the hype on here and other places.
I also think now we've been to some of those grounds we hadn't been to for years and with the loss of small allocations up and some bigger allocations in the league that it will be less of an issue this coming season.

And as someone paying full price for my season ticket, I should get priority over students/pensioners etc.

They are, you get 230 points.You sound ridiculous. Season tickets need to be encouraged and one benefit is priority for away matches

What happens if you contribute by buying heavy scrans pre game and at half time? Pie, Burger, Chips and maybe a bag of fruit pastilles for your bird to suck on.
Any points?
Loads of points on your cholesterol score.What happens if you contribute by buying heavy scrans pre game and at half time? Pie, Burger, Chips and maybe a bag of fruit pastilles for your bird to suck on.

I'll offer you a tenner and an all inclusive ticket to my local Hawk Conservancy.As a phase one elitist i'm willing to sell my identify and current holding of 4200 points. Offers into my inbox please.
I didnt say I didnt agree I said why should you get more points if you only attend away games.Because the system only exists to manage away ticket priority, so it makes perfect sense that away games are weighted higher.
Seems a very fair system to me. Club have got it spot on.
Got to be some credit for the posts to likes ratioI’m personally disappointed that Sky Blues Talk forum points don’t count.
Unfortunately notAnyone know if the Oxford friendly is included for the loyalty scheme?
The away ticket priority scheme will be introduced for 2022/23 league and cup fixtures, and will not be in place for this friendly game – points will not be accrued for this game either.
Is that a serious question?Anyone know if the Oxford friendly is included for the loyalty scheme?
Overall I think it’s a fairly good approach. Home attendance should be recognised as well as away. This will have an impact on those that only want to do Chelsea at Home or Southampton Away and I think that’s right, they should be back of the queue or what’s left for general sale.
My only question mark is on it going back to the St Andrews years, that will create a bit of a closed shop for some away games for the foreseeable future. I chose not to have a ST for St Andrews for obvious reasons and I won’t be able get close to catching anyone up that did. They will always be infront of me for ticket points.
Overall though I think it’s a fair approach.
As the system will only be working off the last three years history, eventually the St Andrews points will drop off. Should level the playing field a little over time.I’d understand including the St Andrews years if they also included the League 1 and League 2 seasons before that, but they don’t for some reason.
The current points system basically rewards all those who were in a position to get to Birmingham each week, as well as the thousands of bandwagoners since our promotions, but not the loyal few thousand who were there home and away in League 2. Strange.
