am i wrong for going a bit annoyed about this? (blackpool)

Here we go again year after year ,where were all these moaning F****s at Wolves away or Sunderland or Spurs last season and they won't be there again this season. Well done to the supporters clubs for organising tickets and transport .
Join a supporters club ,there will be one not far away from where you live.
If you don't want to join and have the benefits stop f*****g moaning about the system.

You really do live up to your username don't you.

The point is that people like me, with a fair number of loyalty points (over 4000) who do go to a lot of away games like that, find themselves unable to get tickets for "big" games because the OSC Branch have given them to people who don't go to those games. If we have a system for selling tickets then let's use it for one and all instead of having a back-door distribution system that is not controlled.

Despite all the huffing and puffing by people supporting the OSC, telling us what a great job they all do and how they are good to their mothers and are kind to animals, no one has denied categorically that this goes on and none of them will tell us what the exact process is and how it's policed.

So if a branch secretary applies for 50 tickets, using supporter numbers of their members and only get 30, I bet these don't go to the 30 with the highest loyalty points. They go to the people that the branch secretary wants them to go to. I also maintain that the club know this and turn a blind eye on the "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" basis and this is how they've kept the OSC docile all these years.

There is no excuse for this when people have all sorts of channels available to buy tickets. Let's have it transparent and above board.

Fu*k me PB you certainly have a bee in the bonnet about supporters branches getting tickets but ignore the problem about other groups getting tickets . Now ,how branches distribute there tickets is up to the branch members .Again no-one complains when they help shift tickets no-one wants ie night games in December the other end of the country. there is a Forum on here dedicated to people who want to get shut of tickets .There is a thread on here helping people to get tickets Europe away

I think the point being made here is it SHOULDN'T be a perk of being an OSC member. We have a loyalty point system as an attempt to reward the most loyal fans, the OSC ticketing scam simply rewards those who the OSC branch secretary knows/likes.

That's just it, he shouldn't HAVE to join a supporters club (although Im pretty sure he is already a member of one). What's the point in the loyalty scheme if people can effectively 'cheat' the system by getting tickets through the OSC?

Nobody has answered my question from earlier on. What happpens to the annual subscription money the OSC charge?

Yet another apologist trying to deflect attention from the main argument. It's not a perk of the club but a perk of the branch secretaries so them and their mates, most of who don't bother with the lesser games, can get tickets for the big games (e.g. the OT derby). We have a perfectly adequate ticket distribution system, with the internet, telephone, email and the ticket office so tell me why we need this? "It's been going on 60 years" is not a good enough argument.
