I'm just thinking that it stops Ticketmaster falling over like it always does.
I'm just thinking that it stops Ticketmaster falling over like it always does.If they are doing 1 per season ticket and they have enough to have 10k spare even if every season ticket holder buys 1 then why on earth would they need to do points for the season ticket holder section? Solves no issues and creates more problems.
Genuinely think it will just be similar to the PO final last year, first window STH's with any amount of points & then non STH's with 200+ points, then finally anyone with purchase history to be the "general sale" for whatever is left.
you will be fine lol there were people with 150 points who were not ST holders who went last year..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?
Nah, that's not enough of an issue to justify it.I'm just thinking that it stops Ticketmaster falling over like it always does.
Exactly this.If they are doing 1 per season ticket and they have enough to have 10k spare even if every season ticket holder buys 1 then why on earth would they need to do points for the season ticket holder section? Solves no issues and creates more problems.
Yeah I'm sure I'll be fine. Just giving myself as an example why 2 per STH is a bad idea.you will be fine lol there were people with 150 points who were not ST holders who went last year..
We were there for both 2 play off finals anyway.I just also think the majority of our hardcore away support should take up the majority of the bottom tier behind the goal. By doing a tiered system even for STH they can all guarantee to get that space then get the atmosphere going.
Do they want to be there or not? Chances are most people will have to compromise where they sit.But this would also mean that the fan at the bottom of the food chain won’t be able to sit with family and friends!
you could and still can assign tickets to people in your network meaning there is no need to sit apartDo they want to be there or not? Chances are most people will have to compromise where they sit.
Play of final we had two tickets together, with two other tickets in different locations.
More like 5k but the point standsIf they are doing 1 per season ticket and they have enough to have 10k spare even if every season ticket holder buys 1 then why on earth would they need to do points for the season ticket holder section? Solves no issues and creates more problems.
It would get complex but what if you could buy a ticket for someone in your network who was in a lower tier?Problem with that is that many fans who sit together may not have the same points . Unless I have misread your thoughts.
how many actual season tickets do we have? I am not including half season tickets.More like 5k but the point stands

Those 1000+ egos aren’t going to massage themselvesIf they are doing 1 per season ticket and they have enough to have 10k spare even if every season ticket holder buys 1 then why on earth would they need to do points for the season ticket holder section? Solves no issues and creates more problems.
DK said 19.5k on TalkSport yday. That may include halves tho, full was something like 18k I think so 6k left for the point holders to hold a full scale battle royale over.how many actual season tickets do we have? I am not including half season tickets.
or you just do what they did last year where there weren't issues and have 1 season ticket windowIt would get complex but what if you could buy a ticket for someone in your network who was in a lower tier?
Last season It wouldn't let me do it and was ordering off two phones. It's the way it panned out. Nobody complained they just wanted a ticket. Sorted the linked accounts for this year thanks.you could and still can assign tickets to people in your network meaning there is no need to sit apart
that'll be why they have been loud about sorting out your networks in plenty of time.Last season It wouldn't let me do it and was ordering off two phones. It's the way it panned out. Nobody complained they just wanted a ticket. Sorted the linked accounts for this year thanks.
I was thinking for groups where not all have a ST but have enough points to purchase in a later tranche. But you’re right, the poster I replied to was talking about groups of ST holders.or you just do what they did last year where there weren't issues and have 1 season ticket window
the point system is to ration tickets where the demand outstrips supply, as the supply is less than demand i.e. number of season ticket holders then what rational is there to use it?
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 sayingDo they want to be there or not? Chances are most people will have to compromise where they sit.

It was over 19k sold.DK said 19.5k on TalkSport yday. That may include halves tho, full was something like 18k I think so 6k left for the point holders to hold a full scale battle royale over.
I hope they have a wash and smarten themselves up , and please don’t embarrass us fans and club by wearing them silly scarfs and hats , I’m sick of telling people they’re from a special need’s hospital on a day out . And I don’t mean any offence to people with mental issues .Well yeah, that's the Mad Hatters sorted.

I think stager it for this reason. Site was a nightmare for PO final kept bouncing us out while trying to find seats.The club should definitely stagger the sales windows for ST holders with points. I am talking a 24 hour window each for 1400pts+, 1200+, 1000+ etc etc. If they stagger the windows by only a few hours, or if the points brackets are too large, then everyone will log on at the same time anyway and it will cause massive queues. It also means the hard core of our support will get their pick of the lower tier seats while the boring farts will all be out of the way in the upper tier.
Or luring you into a false sense of security to con a ticket out of you!My son is a United fan… He did though ask for a retro city shirt to play 5 a side in… so maybe he’s coming around to the idea.

not enough of an issue to justify the problems it causesI think stager it for this reason. Site was a nightmare for PO final kept bouncing us out while trying to find seats.
you should get points for home and away gamesDo 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?
