Make it that u have to apply for that certain game to be in the ballot — and limit the number of games you can apply for per season, regardless of winning or not... pretty sure 43k season ticket holders aren’t gonna apply for every away - there’s a problem with people not attending every home game...How is a ballot fair, when the model used by other clubs sees all season ticket holders eligible to apply for all games. When they win the ballot most sell the tickets on at a profit from fellow supporters. How is that fair?
With a ballot system you get two tickets if you win, lets say we get allocated 3K tickets (some are much less), 200 go to the club 200 go to corporate, that leaves 2600, so potentially 1300 winners. The pool of potential in the ballot is 43K SO 1 in 33 chance at a ballot. It might be every other season you get to any away game,IF YOU ARE LUCKY. Is this what you want? I much prefer a stepped process, which relates to having attended previous away fixtures, than that. Be careful what you wish for.
And this is only a small percentage of the away allocation — people who have got the points to qualify and deservedly so won’t be affected. You could even scrap the ballot for certain games like the derby
There is zero chance of working your way up the points significantly without attending away games - that need 10,000+ points... In this system it’s a closed shop.
