Away tickets

[GortonBlue62]

2540 points available this year assuming we get to both the CL and FA Cup finals.

(PL - 1140, LC - 200, FAC - 200, CL - 400, Schemes - 600).

Fair enough, your original posting said 2,500 without the 2 remaining cup schemes hence the confusion.

My addition is not what it was

I suspect the debate for away tickets will reach fever pitch when the derby ticket criteria are announced. My guess is they will sell out at 19k+ because so few will actually be sold via the loyalty points scheme. Maybe as a thought all tickets for the derby should be sold via the loyalty scheme which means approx. 3,000 are sold this way rather than 1,750. Corporates etc should be made aware that the derby match will be sold this way and not to expect a ticket.

Or you could just wait until the corporates get their allocation and sell them on here if you're looking for one?

I think if I was spending £20k a year on a box or whatever I wouldn’t want to hear that!

Why should we fund their posh seats for next year? If a corporate sells on a couple of tickets for every away league game, that over a grand towards their seat for next year. Add on to that a few cup tickets etc etc

Tough though isn't it especially when it appears so many sell them on. Why should someone who is wealthy jump the queue?

I assume they pay for their tickets but in any case, they pay a hefty sum for corporate so you wouldn't exactly be funding their posh seats.

It's always been the way. They have to entice people to go corporate in some way.

Same with points to some degree. If you can afford a season ticket you get extra points. If you can afford the time and money to do every away, you will end up with more points than those that can't afford it.

That's why I am in favour of SCs and other sources being allocated tickets. It gives most people the opportunity to get a ticket from somewhere. If it was points only, then it would pretty much be a closed shop.

I agree but it’s not how businesses work and as that’s what we are now I think they will continue to court favour with the Corporate fan.
