alpine_saint Posted 24 July, 2012 Share Posted 24 July, 2012 Do you know how many Loyalty Points you get for listening to games on the radio in your underpants Alps? No idea. But I am sure you can advise. Is it worth doing ? How many have you got after your efforts from last season ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 24 July, 2012 Share Posted 24 July, 2012 (edited) Last season's games will have precisely no relevance under this system, and it doesn't really bother me. The club have probably been saved a little by Man City away being on the tv on a Sunday, as that will wheedle out those who are happy to watch it on the box immediately. Having re-read it a few times I actually think it's a pretty decent system, it encourages people to go to crappy looking home games to get tickets to go to attractive looking aways... I find it slightly bewildering that someone who goes to Man City away [10pts] and Man U at home [10pts], but not Wigan h [20pts], will have the same number of points [20] as someone who only goes to Wigan home, when it comes to working out who gets the Arsenal tickets. Then again, missing the Wigan home means they're not an ST holder, so it may be a moot point if the ST holders take all the Arsenal tickets. I'm quite pleased that other "loyalty" purchases aren't included as I don't like the new kit and wouldn't want to have to get one to get Man City tickets, and the only people I can see having a problem with this are non-Southampton based fans who might struggle get tickets to aways after Man City because they haven't gone to Wigan home, which is unfortunate. Getting rid of the "points for pounds" system they seemed to be going with is definitely a good thing, renewals were worth less than new STs, disabled fans, OAPs and students got fewer points than standard ticket purchasers, etc. Edited 24 July, 2012 by The9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 24 July, 2012 Share Posted 24 July, 2012 The biggest problem I can see is where people want to sit together but don't all have the same number of points, and therefore have to apply at different times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brightspark Posted 24 July, 2012 Share Posted 24 July, 2012 Might be tough for foreign supporters who come and visit once and a while. I suppose it's our fault for buggering off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldNick Posted 24 July, 2012 Share Posted 24 July, 2012 I was a s/t holder for decades, but last season did not attend and will only do a few games this season. When I was a s/t holder it was always comforting to know if we got a major game getting a ticket was a done deal. I believe that is fair and so all the fans who travel home and away will now get priority and people like me who go to few games will have to sweat for tickets. it will hurt but it is very fair as long as they keep to the rules.

I'm sure our Japanese Fan Club will be able to source tickets from the players' pool... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHITEE1987 Posted 25 July, 2012 Share Posted 25 July, 2012 The biggest problem I can see is where people want to sit together but don't all have the same number of points, and therefore have to apply at different times. For this I can see them pooling the points of the people in the group like they used to do for the ballots last season. So you will need X points between X amount of people in the group. As many have said here I can see this all going tits up and the forum having a new "Ticket office Sux!!!" thread at least twice a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrant Posted 25 July, 2012 Share Posted 25 July, 2012 I notice that they've removed the option to link other people's accounts to your own - this will be fun next week when Man City tickets go on sale and people try to get 3 or 4 tickets together...
