Kenilworthy Posted 26 July, 2013 Share Posted 26 July, 2013 So they are still carrying on with the loyalty points nonsense, even though they never actually applied them last season and there was no way of checking how many points you had credited to your account.

Actually they did use it to a certain extent, but really just limited to how many away games you had been to and not points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 26 July, 2013 Share Posted 26 July, 2013 Maybe they have sorted the system out for this season? Mods can delete my thread as I couldn't spell Brom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgie Posted 26 July, 2013 Share Posted 26 July, 2013 Don't actually think it is fair to carry on from last season's away purchases. This means anyone who couldn't get to many aways last season, but wants to this season, will find it difficult to get away tiks this season.

The alternative being that people who travelled far and wide, and invested time and money into their trips, will find it similarly difficult. Someone's got to lose out.

George it never mattered which way the club decided to do the away allocation there would always be people that were not happy. from my own point of view being one of those that managed to go to most away games last season i would of been a bit miffed if we all started with a clean sheet this season and then i would of had to compete with all this seasond JCL`s. i was just fortunate that i was able to go to so many last season perhaps more people like yourself should of made more effort if possible.

Sour Mash Posted 26 July, 2013 Share Posted 26 July, 2013 The full allocation is meant to be 3k at West Brom isn't it? Have we taken that do we know? If we do get the 3k, pretty much anyone should be able to get a ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Duckhunter Posted 26 July, 2013 Share Posted 26 July, 2013 So they are still carrying on with the loyalty points nonsense, even though they never actually applied them last season and there was no way of checking how many points you had credited to your account. I just spoke to a women in the ticket office, I was questioning that none of my away games were showing on my transaction history. She said that they had a record their end, not convinced I asked her which games I had been to and she said 8 (which was correct). She assured me that their system was robust it was just that we couldn't see it our end. I wasn't convinced, but I guess I'll see on wedsnesday.

The Cat Posted 26 July, 2013 Share Posted 26 July, 2013 They have to base it on last year. It would be chaos for the Ticket Office if there were no phased sales. No one needs to worry though, if we do get 3k anyone who really wants one will get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how they will do the next away game allocation. I'm assuming it is only this game they will look at last season's aways, the next game they will just look at who bought for the West Brom game.

You're more confident about that than me, reckon they'll go pretty quickly. If it's 10% of the gate it'll be nearer 2,800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will not have a problem getting a ticket for this one, just thought it was unfair on others that was all and each season should start afresh. I thought this always used to be the case.

The9 Posted 26 July, 2013 Share Posted 26 July, 2013 Actually they did use it to a certain extent, but really just limited to how many away games you had been to and not points. They weren't using "loyalty points" at all though, they were using "games attended" - the whole point of the loyalty system was to make the less attractive matches worth more points, that is still being ignored. The idea that someone who'd been to Sunderland, Wigan and Everton away would get priority over someone who'd been to Man C, Man U and Liverpool was the point of the system, it is being completely ignored. I am amused that I get priority for this match based on last season, but last season my previous games meant nothing. Utterly ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one needs to worry though, if we do get 3k anyone who really wants one will get one. Like it was chaos for Man City away last season ? Lucky for them that was on tv. I only went to that one to get an Arsenal ticket, and by doing that I basically got priority all season. I wouldn't say it was exactly "fair" but I got top priority for every match and I only went to about half the aways. This season it's going to be far fewer, for all kinds of bizarre reasons.

alehouseboys Posted 26 July, 2013 Share Posted 26 July, 2013 Reckon this will make general sale? I would think so. If it does I can't see it being many. This is one of my fav away days since first going in the 70s and usually take good numbers. Always liked the stadium, looks bigger than it is, just a smaller main stand. 2 good 'ends', they were crackers back in the day when they were terracing and can be a very good atmosphere, particularly back then. Good pubs, decent grub around the ground and a good one to get to. Reckon we'll shift the full allocation with little bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rick1976.4.38 Posted 26 July, 2013 Share Posted 26 July, 2013 with the novelty of being back in the prem last season wearing off it may be easier to get tickets for some games away this season the problem as sour mash says is we don't know what allocation sfc take as any tickets we don't shift the club are liable for so the allocation may be 2800 but saints may only take 2000 first away day, id be surprised if it went to general but you never know coys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintNeil90 Posted 31 July, 2013 Share Posted 31 July, 2013 Is it only me who disagrees with the priority process for this game. I'm all for rewarding loyalty but this one rewards individuals. What if you want to sit together but went to a different amount of games this season. I'm going with 4 other lads and non of us can sit together for it now as we'll be getting tickets a different times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep it simple... reset every year. Priority to ST holders, first come first served. Nobody has any idea when it will sell out, especially as this is the first game of the season so demand is likely to be higher than average. Do you usually go on your own? Sounds like it.

No, don't go to football on my own, but have the savvy to work out how to get tickets and stand with my mates, appears you don't unfortunately. The idea that someone who has been to zero away games last season should have the same priority for this match as someone that went to loads of aways last season is quite a silly one really isn't it, being based purely on what would suit you and your personal circumstances.

I also tried to pay on my debit card and it wouldn't let me. I know there's money in there cause it's payday. Worked with Credit card, so if you're using debit may be worth trying credit.
