I’ve managed to get tickets for the Monday night game and the game last season, even went one rung below my points.It can't, they are wiping out the points allocation slowly but surely, and lot gone out the back door for the bank holiday weekend no doubt.

Both times the game was played on a bank holiday weekend, sold out two levels, then one level above my points.
Not hopeful this week.

The biggest issue is Corporate. The new points system is aimed to make sure the stadium is full for home games so we don’t get the piss taken and it looks good on TV. Unless we have a mass complaint and make a PR catastrophe for the club it will only get worse. To me points is a fair system so long as the whole allocation is distributed on the same basis. All the moaning gits on here who refer to us that have gone for years as points whores have a lot to answer for. They should publish the names of the people and how they qualified for the game.I doubt it warrants a full sales window though, when it was 22k for Brighton.
The plans next year are the worrying thing, as nothing has been made public about what is happening.

It may be a gamble but I suggest if the rules stay the same next season - then try and get a new season ticket (first time fan) and SAY you are 18-25 in the application. It is adult price so no one will ever know and then you are first in line for all away tickets. Then be on the ball at 9am - hey presto - tickets for 19 away games in the bag

Daft thing is I could have gone on at 9am and ordered a Bournemouth ticket on my daughters card (18-25 ), as I pay for all her tickets I wouldn’t have felt guilty using it
I didn’t ( before you have a go ), but then realised I’m down that way for scooter weekend in Brighton !
This also happened a few years ago and I did do the 2 hour 30 min journey between Brighton and Bournemouth (and back ) Didn’t please her indoors!
Another year I got a 2 tickets from a players allocation and sat behind about 40 empty seats in our section

Had to wait until 3pm as my son only has 25k and the main block had gone. Single seats only there. Last year first criteria of sale was 24k (in March), now 26k. How can it rise by 2k in just over a month and seasoncard renewal and sell out faster?
And only 380 points added for those on Platinum?

The games like Bournemouth where we have such a small allocation are where you start to see people who normally couldn’t give a shit as long as they’re sorted, start to realise the issue when they suddenly are impacted for the first time. In a way this is a good thing to happen as perhaps more people will wake up to what’s gone on now.
If they’re going to have tickets available this way then make sure the tickets are taken equally from each allocation and it’s not limited to just 18-24 year olds. They’ve done this because there’s calls of it being unfair on younger people with no chance of getting tickets so why not make it completely even for everyone and not put an age restriction on it.
The second this system was announced I predicted this to happen. You’ll soon get people passing on tickets for games like Bournemouth. Kids will pick up tickets not fancy going on their own or unable to sort out travel as they’re not regular away dayers and so will pass them on to others and in return they’ll get tickets for other more available games where somebody can sort them out tickets for mates and travel.
