So back when they stopped giving points for away games just a few seasons back, for a 3k allocation away day that wasnt united, there was typically 3/4 brackets after the bracket I fell into, obviously they're only guidelines but they're rarely off by much and generally sell out around the end of the initial criteria.
I've had a platinum season card and been on every cup scheme possible since, therefore I've accumulated every single point anybody can possibly earn since then. There's literally no way anybody can move above me in the list, there's a slim chance I could have made some ground up on people above me if there's anybody that hasn't gone on every cup scheme and gone platinum every year but that's unlikely so that means I should be pretty much exactly where I was in the queue back then yet I now find myself just about making the criteria.
If it wasnt obvious from the away crowds nowadays, the points system works in a way whereby they've made it as blatant as it can be without disclosing any actual information that they continuously siphon off tickets for the points pool to whoever else and they've never so much as addressed it.
