Yeh I get that, fair.
How many lower league clubs do point scoring though?
Away games get the club no income so they are always going to reward people who invest at the start or pay for memberships. If people want to go to every away game then get a membership to get priority.
It's that simple.
Sounds sensible! Is that from Brighton?
What happens if we have a very popular away match, how will tickets be sold? Tickets will be sold according to a supporter’s status and their points total. STHs will always receive top priority.
Please see an example below:
1. STH with 150+ points
2. STHs with 60+ points
3. All STHs
4. Bronze/YS+ members with 250+ points
5. Bronze/YS+ members with 100+ points
6. All Bronze/YS+ members
Most clubs will make it more biased to home games, thats where the money is.
Exactly, and imagine the reaction when fans who travelled to Carlisle away can't get tickets because those who go to home games get more points.
I believe England do a similar system. You get 2 points for a home game and 1 for an away. Which on paper seems crazy that you get less points for travelling to Lithuania and Belarus than you would sitting at Wembley. However, if it was more points for an away game it may put people off going to the home ones.
Then the ones at Carlisle away should go to home games just down the road as well, surely?
Depends where they live Nick...

Of course, but the people I have seen moaning this morning are the ones who haven't missed an away game, but don't have a season ticket.
I do understand their frustration, there is a fair number who have travelled all over to follow the club away and haven't got tickets today.

Surely everybody has known for years it's the benefit of a season ticket / membership? The same as every other club. The same as Wembley, the same as Crewe in the JPT.

I am sure they do, but I understand the frustration when there were people at MK and will be people at Brighton who haven't been to an away game in the league getting away tickets for Brighton
Well if they don't have a ST then how haven't they missed a game? If they've managed to get tickets for all the other away games this season then they should of managed for Brighton surely?Of course, but the people I have seen moaning this morning are the ones who haven't missed an away game, but don't have a season ticket.

Some people watch Cov at home but never or rarely travel.....if they buy a season ticket then yes they make a solid financial contribution to the club.
However, in my opinion that doesn’t make them any more loyal than someone that travels up and down the country and spends far more money on watching the boys away....in fact in some ways that makes them more loyal surely?
I dunno maybe I’m thinking too much lol

It's not about that though, it's rewarding the people who give the solid contribution. It's the same at pretty much every other club.
You could get private jets to every game and spend thousands on beer or you could hitch hike for free, get a season ticket as well and get priority.

It is and I recognise that although some clubs clearly recognise the priority away fans should take by adopting a pts system, interesting debate.
I dunno, but there's loads of point scoring on here for sure.
Which ones prioritise them over ST holders?
TBH I’m not sure but I know clubs do or have adopted pts systems.
Just because the current system is something we have always done it doesn’t mean to say we should always do it....
Looks I will have to go in the home end, will be a first!
Brighton added this to their ticket website for our game...
‘Due to Coventry City selling out their allocation, this game will not go to general sale. Anyone purchasing tickets will need a purchase history with us’.
Ouch, didn’t take long.
Bastards! I know a couple of people wit purchase history though.

Nick you really would argue Black was White. Every fucking club of note in the football league that takes decent away followings, (Leeds, Wednesday etc before you try and argue Yeovil doesn’t) has a points scoring system, to make sure away tickets go to those who travel regularly. They get top priority for Away Games. Top priority is ST that have X amount of away points, next priority is members that have X amount of away points. A ST with 0 away points, would be right down the priority list, which is what it should be. Season ticket holders get priority on home matches.
Stop being a gimp and arguing the toss over everything.
Leeds said:the deadline dates to apply and all details including the number of away games that fans must have attended in order to qualify to apply for a ticket. Tickets for these games will be allocated to those fans who have attended the most away games irrespective of Membership package.
Quick search for Leeds brought this up.
Away season ticket holders first, (didn't we used to have that?) Then home season ticket holders, then assorted members. But you must be at least one of these.
I think it's a good idea.
Then for low selling away games
CCFC away season ticket there is a blast from the past! When I was mid teens used to go on the official coach quite a lot and always remember a couple who on a few occasions would demand they’d get on the coach first “as we’re away season ticket holders!” (Coach seat numbers already assigned!) absolute self righteous pair!

Both of them still give priority to season ticket holders. Stop being wrong and still trying to argue
