Away tickets

So someone could now get a derby ticket in their first year of being a seasoncards holder(18-25) than some poor fucker who's still struggling to reach that points total, still doesn't sit well with me although i know something has to be done though.

It must limit the number selected for checking to a couple of dozen. I can't see the home clubs wanting to process hundreds of away tickets on match day.

Can’t see it being more half a dozen or so but it’s gonna cause chaos and opposing club aren’t gonna welcome it
It stinks and will alienate a lot of people

If they have stopped points for away games surely that then stops the need for the so called points whoring anyway! More gestapo style bullshit from the franchise to shit on the real fans. If you really want a ticket though you can't get one or give one to a mate anymore but corporate and rip off websites that the club will have a hand in are absolutely fine.

I doubt they will actually do this. It's probably just a scare tactic and like you say, there's probably no need because people won't be buying tickets to sell on for the points.

Apart from that, I think the changes are flawed and a compromise but a step in the right direction. It'll be great to see a lot more young'uns at the games too next season.
 
If they’re stopping points for away games, that’s the end of the point whores... so why is there a need for ticket collection at destination ?

If they can’t get tickets now they won’t in the future because now only home games carry points so every season card holder gets the same points so know one moves up the ladder

Suits me but as you say no one stands a chance now ! How many regular high points people just bought the tickets to sell on ?
20-30 maybe as most of us go regardless

Well done To City Matters and our Forum rep.

You’ve achieved something Thatcher never managed. Forcing us to carry ID cards to football matches @ninjamonkey

There is more to come in the next few years. I was in a meeting recently attended by an FA representative who stated that access to Wembley is going to be by mobile app only by the time the Euro 2020 games are played there, which will require contact details, address etc. and it will be linked to travel ticket purchase to and from the ground. The purpose of it is mainly to allow Police to identify individuals who carry out unlawful or anti social activities on public transport traveling to and from games.
It will contain geolocation features to track where fans are to differentiate between late and no show fans.
He also expected this to be rolled out to all PL grounds in the coming years .Big Brother is watching you!

Stupid isn’t it?

The club clearly don’t understand football culture!

A minibus full of lads are not fucking going to go with their mate to the ticket office of an away ground if he’s been selected, they’re going to laugh at the lad who has to go on his own.

Farce!
 
What a strange system.

It makes no sense to purchase a ticket expecting it to arrive in the post and then have to wait to find out if it actually will be sent or collected on the day.

They must know from the outset which are being sent out and which are subject to a check.

To also not mention the application of platinum going forward at renewal is poor.
 
utd started a similar bullshit system a couple of years ago and unfortunately we never seem too far from following them these days{aprart from on the playing side}. Theirs was making everyone show ID at away games to stewards they had sent down themselves. It was obviously chaos and didn't last long.
 
What a load of bollocks..

The ticket collection thing.


As for more for youngsters, plenty do aways now so whats the difference also less tickets punishe speople on lower points who have fuck all chanc eof the criteria reaching them
The points thing also punishes those on lower points who won't be able to catch up when they have the chance.
And when I say low points I am not talking one or two thousand, I mean 10-12000

Indeed it is.
When we introduced ticket collection for Euro aways, I said then it had nothing to do with points whores, it was all to do with ‘security’.
Proved to be right.
 
West ham on sale tomorrow
THIS IS NOT A COLLECTION MATCH
It is not a ballot for 18/25 it's first come basis for 1 day only (tomorrow ) any not sold tomorrow go back into the normal loyalty system on Friday
Another change is juniors can only be purchased online or by phone
No box office sales for juniors under 16
 
how early is ticket collection window? 3hrs-30mins before game? Does it have to be at the home end ticket office. I have been to internationals with booths at the away end!

Does seem a bit of a mid-selling with the £50 for platinum and those who purchase it for double points! Plus the difference in jumping up and down the LP list will be by signing up to domestic cup schemes. You can see what city are at here, sell home games = points and accessibility to data on those attending matches.

It seems the City Matters forum reps don’t understand football culture either.

Just looked and it doesn't say that on my app, says tickets go on sale tomorrow 10am for SC holder on 25000 points and above then counts down daily
 
I might be being thick or it might already have been answered. How does this benefit anyone other than the 18-25yr olds? If we are only getting points for home games now we are effectively saying this is the priority order for evermore. What about if you are stuck in no mansland 12-14k? I get some points whores might add a few more tickets to the pot but can't see that being loads
