Hmmm... looks like I am one of the only ones 'happy' with the Blue Membership with Ticket Priority. I now live 'down South' and have had my Blue Membership for probably about 8 years. I go to 3 or 4 Home games per season and probably about the same 'Aways'.... I've managed to keep my points 'ticking along nicely', and now have 880 - which means that I was able to get a Derby ticket - was a bit worried this year - I seem to be closer to not getting one than last April.... I also went to to the QPR game last year as well.... Am happy to pay the £25 which has enabled me to get my own ticket for Utd, Real Madrid at Home, and West Ham and Chelsea Away this Season - although I had to buy a Fulham ticket in the neutral seats because of the low allocation .....

It does annoy me that 'sometimes' I have had to buy tickets from fellow Bluemooners for certain Away games, and hence - no Loyalty points for me, but as someone who doesn't go to every match, I can cope with that as long as I am able to buy a ticket and get Points for other matches....

I think it's a good system too. I agree it can be a little annoying to pay £10 for a card then another £15 for MTP, but I'm sure lots of PL clubs operate a similar membership scheme. Don't get why people are moaning about MTP so much, from the sounds of it those people who have missed out did so as they didn't have enough loyalty points, not becuase they weren't prepared to hand over an extra £15 for MTP.

It's really not too hard to have accumalted 1,000 points since we moved to the new stadium.

I didn't miss out, I've got my ticket for the derby but I'm still moaning. The problem I have got with it is that people might pay their £15 thinking they have got MTP for every game, but then when a high demand game comes along they use MTP and loyalty points, so if people haven't got enough points then the MTP is useless for that game. I know there are only a few games a season where this applies but perhaps the club should make it clear instead of hiding it in the small print, it just feels like they are conning the fans.

At the moment you can get tickets for almost all home games on general sale so MTP is not really needed until a high demand game comes along, then loyalty points come in as well i.e. when a game comes along where you need MTP it might be of no use to you anyway.

To sum it up, the club could easily scrap the fee for MTP and use loyalty points for high demand games.

Before match day priority came along it was £20/25 for a blue card and a quid for an access card

So to be honest..aside from paying a tenner for what is essentially an access card..the other has barely changed price wise and does the same thing essentially

I don't ever remember paying £20/£25 just for the the blue membership card, I've only ever paid £10 just for the card and £25 if you want the £15 MTP add-on.

 

[peter.evans]

Lads, some of you are missing thepoint. MTP is a rip off. If you have got 1500 plus loyalty points you should be a higher priority for a ticket than someone with 750 points. End of !

You've obviously only had a membership for the past 2 years then!

Citycard's were a different thing altogether than access cards or blue membership cards and yes Citycard's were £25 but I never had one of those only had the access card, so no I haven't only had membership for 2 years, started going in the mid 70's mate.

OK, but it was my understanding that the Blue Membership was the new name for a citycard essentially?

Not sure why the club introduced this MTP idea; should of just charged £20/£25 and everyone would have the same 'priority'.

 

[Mikeegrini]

Can I ask, does MTP give the holder priority for season tickets for next season?

Is it a step to being a season ticket holder?
