All current points converted to ‘legacy points’ at a rate of 1000 ticket points to 2 legacy points, these stay on forever. These will be rounded up.
E.g 17810 = 36 legacy points

Then a ticket point is awarded 1 per home game and added to your total. These will stay on for 5 years and then roll off. No points for away games as whoring would return.

Also if ticket is not scanned at the gate then a point is not awarded. England do this with their 'caps' so I don't see why City couldn't. This would improve home attendance and atmosphere.

This system rewards loyalty and also gives people the chance to catch up.

Great idea in theory but I wonder if the genius minds at the ticket office are able to implement it correctly.

I hope that the ticket office visit a change to the system to incorporate this whilst also considering a reciprocal ticket allocation deal, offering clubs more tickets in exchange for more away tickets for city fans.

There also has to be more made of the current issues with away tickets on resale sites such as stubhub/viagogo at insane prices. Touting from corporate/sponsor allocations that surely make up more than the stated 10%

They couldn't run a bath ha ha

Reciprocal ticket allocation deal a great shout but very hard to implement.

Current minimum is 3000 unless their capacity is <30k then it should be 10% of the ground.

Why not just have a blanket 10% across all stadiums? Surely that's fairer? The current system means those in smaller stadiums are at a disadvantage as they have a lower % of home fans there compared to larger ones.

Actually the opposite has happened. Hospitality allocation is a ballot now.

Maybe not the official club hospitality. However its clear that more tickets are being siphoned off to other sponsors/companies/re-sell sites at the expense of seasoncard holders. For example... Reports of a row of 20 tourists being in our end at Arsenal through a holiday package from a Chinese company. On Live Football tickets there 35 tickets on sale in our end at United already Including 6+ together for £300+. There are more on stubhub

All whilst only 40% of tickers (1200) were available at Monday 10am to points holders
 
People would buy for every game now regardless, you won't catch the ones at the top unless they stop going, and in the confusion more tickets will be taken away from points.

Points should only be awarded if we don't sell out.
 
The corporate offers the facilities for our stadium and should be irrelevant for away tickets. If you have a box at the O2, you can't get priority for the MEN arena because of that.

Because I can’t get back on the season ticket deal and am paying hand over fist for match day tickets I applied to get two season tickets in Joe‘s in the summer, the response from the club? Fuck all, nothing, nada.

Scan on exit 5 mins after final whistle to get another point, awarding those that stay to the end

There is no reason why corporate should get away tickets and it is clearly now having an impact on the makeup of the away end and atmosphere, especially London games. Obviously the majority in the end are city fans, but anyone that goes regularly would agree that there are far more unfamiliar faces at Tottenham, Arsenal. Chelsea away than there are at say, Burnley or wolves away.

I’m guessing you live local, don’t have children and never have work commitments at weekends or evenings?
