Do you get loyalty points for home games?

I had a ST during the COVID season -but havent been able to get one since. Been to quite a few single tickets and a couple of away games with my Dad - but he's on 0 loyalty? Did I not link it correctly - or do you not get anything for home games?

TSx

Yes of course you do, they would have had to been bought/assigned to his account number

Am I missing something? There will be 15/16k left if its one per ST.

even out of 19.5k STH's there will be people who can't make it because of holidays, other commitments etc too.. so possibly even more than 15/16k.

No, I've been awake for 20 hours and have just consumed a Stella Artois.

My math didn't math. Lost 10k somewhere!

Yes you do get points, you have to assign it to his account at checkout.

not enough of an issue to justify the problems it causes

What problems?

 

[skybluericoh]

Season ticket one ticket everybody else has to queue up over night like we had to for the cup final

St Holder has a golden edge ticket delivered by hand by a player of their choice. Then everybody else has to queue up over night

 

[no_loyalty]

the play off final was two tickets per person…..

Yes but there were more tickets available, and we had less season ticket holders.

 

[David O'Day]

What problems?

People not being able to sit with friends.

Ticketmaster is a site that can handle stadium events by massive artists, there is no rational that is in anyway not mad to apply a process design to ration tickets when supply is limited when you haev 15k tickets than needed

 

[skybluericoh]

It just definitely won't be 2 per STH as it encourages re-sale and people who haven't followed the club turning up.

I'm looking at it slightly selfishly too as I don't have a ST this year as paying to get married took priority for me. I still have over 1000 points though through following home and away for years. Is it right that people like me miss out because Mr first time season ticket holder wants to take his Man U mate?

I doubt very much it will be two per ST. 34000 tickets 19000 ST that would be 38000 tickets - not gonna happen

My experience was that it didn’t handle it very well for the PO final. It’s quite different to a stadium event as you’re picking multiple specific seats rather than just buying a ticket so Ticketmaster being able to handle the traffic isn’t really relevant. It’s also not to ration tickets so that there’s 15k spare after ST sales is also irrelevant.

Genuinely can't remember what it was like for the PO final... Was it similar to the high priority away days i.e. log in issues and general fuckery trying to allocate a ticket?

it's no different and a few people having a few small issues is not a justification.

Okay, I am sorry you didn't understand. The points system is a system designed to ration tickets where demand outstrips supply. For season ticket holders the supply massively outstrips demand so there is no justification to implement it and create any issues.

Yes, although we were looking for 6/7 seats together which I’m sure made it more difficult.

It was like a standard busy away

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

Yes but there were more tickets available, and we had less season ticket holders.

Only just for both, and that’s assuming everyone buys two, but also I’m only pointing it out because people are saying how it will be the same as last year / last year worked well etc

It’s very different as for a gig you don’t have to select a seat.

I understand perfectly. Nobody is suggesting it is needed due to demand outstripping supply but to stop every season ticket holder trying to log on at the same moment. The points you are raising have no relevance to what is being suggested.

They can't do 2 per ST as that would result in some season ticket holders missing out, probably to some daytrippers, which would be outrageous.

Every ST holder should be guaranteed a ticket and the only way to do that is 1 per ST.

Lots of gigs lots people do have to select a seat.

Your points are in no way any kind of justification for overcomplicating the situation.

Carnage then. Seems more civilised this year (for the few that I've bought rather than been allocated)?

 

[Nuskyblue]

I think that is what we ended up getting. Maybe one of my buddies got them, I frequently was busy for buying away tickets. Whenever I did Ticketmaster normally shat it's pants so I let others organise my life

Less so really, busy aways were like that as there wasn't enough tickets to go around so you need to be on the site before 10am ready to go. Here there is plenty of tickets so there is less need to go on the b of the bang.

 

[SBbucks]

I’m not arsed but there will be a lot of people sat next to strangers , that takes a large chunk of the days experience away! Just saying

God forbid that people might have to sit next to a stranger at a cup semi-final

It’s really not very complicated but I suppose it would confuse people who can’t login in to their accounts and understand what their points total is or are unable to interpret a calendar.

Some of the best away days I've been manhandled my a man I have never met.

Saw 3 of them at Wolves!

Ticketmaster is perfect apparently which is a surprise to me as it’s frequently criticised on here.

Cool, you implement a system that is not need because you can't work a laptop.

Ok, meanwhile back in the real world.

Where has anyone said it is perfect? Yu were wrong so just get over it and stop throwing lies about what people have said.

Once again your comprehension completely fails you.

My comprehension? You're the one throwing a hissy fit because you were wrong.

You going to lie about anything else I have said?

I've had plenty of issues... almost exclusively on my phone though.

Managed to get in on the Southampton FA cup game at the 11th hour when they released another 300odd tickets!

Pointing out you keep misinterpreting my posts is not a hissy fit.

Should have to be that way though.

I don't understand why they let you pick individual seats. If you just selected a block and the system assigned your individual seat it would be much more efficient.

the club have put out step by step instructions on how to add the ability to buy tickets for your mates from your own account and, assuming its one per season ticket holder, there's no reason for a mad rush as there will be plenty to go round.

Then why is the any need to implement a points system?
