Won't quite be zero as have to have purchase history, but there will definitely be people who had season tickets in the last couple of years who couldn't for whatever this season that will have 100s of points, and then someone who went to just two matches this season if they happened to be online at the right time will have got one.Huh?
There will be non-STHs with accounts who have, say, c600 points and others with zero points. By making it a free for all there will be fans with 600 points who missed out and some with zero that didn't.
I don't understand your point.
Not if they used the points system (excluding STHs who already have their match ticket).
FFS I'm pulling my hair out now so walking away before I give myself a heart attack!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh!
You would just put it at 50 or 100.The points system is for away games- you cant just change the rules for it .
And if you did there were probably less than 5000 tickets available which would mean starting it at somewhere around the 1200 points mark- surely all these people are ST holders anyway so you then exclude them? A bit ridiculous .
It's one game? People have had the last 5 seasons to go to championship matches where there would have been no restrictions.Season ticket holder so home games are not a problem. Personally think using points system would be a terrible idea for home game tickets, ok for away games tho.
How on earth could a new generation of fans ever get home tickets . They ve got to start somewhere.

They probably wanted to avoid the server blowing up.Yes but there was no advanced notice, it was just announced out of the blue!

50 was what was put on for the Man Utd semi final I believe after season ticket holders.
I think it was one 1 for the FA Cup Semi, 2 for Play Off Final.But that was after ST holders got 2 each. I know what I think but I would imagine Doug values a ST holder getting an extra ticket more than offering it instead to someone who has possibly been to 1 or 2 away games over the last couple of years.
They could have capped it though so people couldn’t buy anymore than one extra ticket etc.

Some combination of tiered membership systems and loyalty point schemes for most prem clubs I think.How do other clubs sell matchday tickets that sell out all the time ?

Match day tickets will be at least £60.In the end there is no easy solution when demand outstrips supply which it clearly will in this instance - some people will always be disappointed
It will be interesting if the season ticket numbers are frozen next year or get increased and matchday price strategy

Purchase history since 16/17. If they haven't attended a game since 22/23 (or whenever the rolling period cut off is) they won't have any points.Won't quite be zero as have to have purchase history, but there will definitely be people who had season tickets in the last couple of years who couldn't for whatever this season that will have 100s of points, and then someone who went to just two matches this season if they happened to be online at the right time will have got one.

Indeed a fair approach would have been (due to there only being ~5k tickets for general sale) to introduce a points threshold and not allow season ticket holders to purchase more. And publicise the sale details well in advance so everyone had time to get their support number & network(s) etc in order.
That said, we're all surely pretty well versed in the system given the big games over the last few years. The main thing is it does feel unfair with such a small allocation to give it to anyone with a purchase history including season ticket holders who already of course have a ticket.
I think it’s OK as it is. A season ticket yields 190 pts next season.Where's the cut off though with anyone with a purchase history? I managed 3-5 games a season.
I've done 3 aways so far this season, Pompey (albeit a home gig for me), QPR and Millwall and then Watford at home. Pompey at home will be my 5th of the season.
I know I don't got as much as other non-season ticket holders but opening up to those with a purchase history does seem fair.
Totally agree on publicising release date/time though. That's what's scuppered it for me.
