Something isnt quite right here.
If it has sold out on the first day, then I have the following questions and points.
1) Why is there 40 Loyalty points awarded when the demand was so so high? Surely your more of a loyal fan for turning up for the less popular games i.e Villa Carling Cup than the more in demand games such as this?
2) It is a concern that those on such high points are "whoring" their membership and not actually going. This opens up all sorts of potential problems for the police, club and the supporter.
3) 2,700 Tickets were on sale for this fixture. Perhaps in future the club could sell 2,000 tickets via the usual way (dates&points) then once that allocation has been sold, the remaining 700 is given to fans randomly via a computer draw to those on cup scheme/seasoncard. This way you are still rewarding those for their loyalty and giving those who will NEVER get a chance to be at the top bracket of points to see this games.
Im on 5,750 so obviously disapointed/bitter but this is happening a lot recently.
