Bournemouth tickets on sale from Wednesday 1st February

My view is that if the club has taken the money then they should issue the ticket by some means.

They charged me twice numerous times for away tickets. When I questioned the ticket office I got the response “oh yeah it does it sometimes give it a week”. The website still lacks when it comes to paying.

I fit the description in your first paragraph and I’m not embarrassed by having the points and now having a Bournemouth ticket. But, the difficult question that has to be asked, is how many of the people purchasing tickets by virtue of their points will actually be at the game and how many will pass them on to somebody else. I am absolutely going, but I know people who will pass them on and do so for most away game, and it distorts the position and locks people out with less points.
it is a thorny issue, because some tickets will go to kids and grand kids or close mates and people get understandably defensive about it. The club were doing the odd spot checks before COVID and when e-tickets become the norm it will largely curtail it. But I understand the frustration of people just missing out.

You should absolutely not feel embarrassed because you have a ticket or amassed the required points. It’s fans like you that are the backbone of this club and our support. I’d rather be stood next to you at a game than some of these new ones.
I get that people pass tickets on to friends and family etc and that can be a good thing if introducing them to city and the joy of watching city away.

I just feel sometimes when looking about there appears more and more fans that are here for the kudos it brings or as I’ve said to document everything they do and are awaiting the “limbs” celebration that seems to be the in thing.

To many standing around trying to be cool and not being fully immersed in actuality watching city and the feel of the game.
When I go I go all in. I don’t care that I’m 41. I’ll sing have a drink get behind the lads etc. it’s a joy and privilege to watch city and especially away.

I managed to get two mate, I had checked out and paid for them after around 11 seconds.

I mean that's ridiculously quick, fair play to you. Been able to get my lad to most aways this year but normally takes a good 30 seconds. Takes about 11 seconds for me to even load the first page let alone be checked out

E-tickets will be the way forward

Putting 85% of the allocation onsale to loyalty point holders is the way forward.
Loyalty should be rewarded instead it seems to be frowned upon by the clubs hierarchy.

Just 2 hours since tickets were available and at least 5 are already on one of the rip-off sites, unbelievable.

Surely, the club (if they aren’t the ones passing the tickets on) need to be doing more to weed these “fans” out?

In fact, when you click the first you can have up to 8 tickets, all seated together…

One way of paying for your box or Tunnel Club membership I suppose.

Some sites like these say they have tickets and then if they get any bites try to source them. It would be interesting to see if you can speak to someone at that site and ask to see a proof of ticket, what row, block etc. And if they genuinely have those tickets then the club should buy them see if is flogging them to the site and ban them. But if it is the club who is doing it to increase revenue then shame on them.
