Away tickets

So by that token then there should be no reason why more tickets shouldn't be allocated via the points system!

It would certainly make a far better case for the points system if it could be clearly shown to be working in the interests of those it’s supposed to serve. But that point may be 3 seasons away.

There are plenty of Swansea tickets knocking about

So in the meantime they're going to stop points for away matches and therefore maintaining the status quo, rather than just ensuring that tickets are used by the purchaser?!

No. There's other things being proposed and you're clearly another that's too lazy to read the thread and expects to be spoonfed on demand. Sorry but I've got better things to do.

Woah! I'm not sure how you can deduce that from my comment?! Unless I've missed something (I hope that I have) the only other short term proposal is for a ballot for 18-25s and longer term maybe scrapping Platinum, both of which pretty much maintain the status quo with regards points.

I hate to say it - but away tickets are where that other lot do things better than City. (On transparency at least).

I think fans would benefit on knowing where they stand in the pecking order, which United's communication clarifies.
I usually base my thinking on the points criterion, which is often, but not always, an indication of when a match will sell out.
It would save people extra cost on potentially wasted transport and accommodation costs as they would better be able to judge the risks.

Simple information on how many are at each points level and how many are on cup schemes would be beneficial, imho.

Thanks for that. Apart from the ballot itself, that seems to incorporate everything most people are asking for. Fairness and transparency.

So on that basis, if you’ve applied for only 8 games in the last 3 seasons you’re in a bunch on less than 2000
And it’s on appliacations, not just successful ones. Benefits those who keep trying.

I am not pushing for a ballot system. My point is about the transparency. We have none
