So you and your mate get season tickets. He joins the Cup Scheme and you don't. You go to all the away games in the league and he doesn't.

First game in the Carling Cup, we go to West Brom and get beaten. You go and he doesn't.

First game in the FA Cup, we go to Notts County and win. You go and he doesn't.

Next game we go to Leicester and win. You go and he doesn't.

We win another game away which you go to and he doesn't then we play Reading at home. He goes to his first cup game and we beat them to get to a semi at Wembley.

He gets a ticket and you don't. Is that fair? No it isn't.

He's paid for one extra game and yet could get a semi-final ticket over someone who went to all the four away games in the cup and every away game in the league. Not right at all.

And if those two mates go to every league game, yet one gets to watch utd at home last day of the season yet the other doesn't despite spending more money overall as he didn't buy a ST, is that unfair too?

I guess it is. If you have a seasoncard, you have 1000 points automatically anyway so you'll have more loyalty points than someone who goes to the same games but doesn't. So the more I think about it, why not just go on points full stop? A seasoncard holder with 2000 points shouldn't get prioroty over someone who doesn't have a seasoncard yet has 4000 points.

Sorry, i missed it.

me and you are going around in circles here, we both agree that they are right in rewarding those who attended every cup game on the CDS but deep down i know that you also agree that it should have been extended to everyone who went to all the cup games.

That is my gripe and only gripe here.

I don't believe that, i'm dead against that... and the only reason for that is, if a CC holder and ST holder go to every league game, but the final game the CC holder misses out (despite spending more by paying match by match) then everyone agrees that is right.

Pledging loyalty upfront be it ST/CDS gets priority over an attendee match by match.

That's why i agree with what the club has done.

You cannot compare the two though, what if you were a CC holder yet you gave the club your credit card details to process tickets for every home game? As at the end of the day, that is the same as signing up for the CDS.

But that's not what happened is it?

The people on the cups scheme were committed to buying tickets for two midweek games and two late Sunday kick-offs. Had your scenario been what actually happened then the club may have decided not to give priority to cup scheme members. This would tie in with why they didn't announce such a thing at the start of the season.

Exactly what i've been banging on about...

95% of people moaning on here are hypocrites as they wouldn't bat an eyelid to a ST holder getting priority over a CC holder, infact they'd defend that process (even if the ST has 2k and the CC 4k)

So if that process is ok, then this is exactly the same, except for cup not league. Add to that every ST with even a modicum of history to it will qualify for a ticket regardless...

I can see two choices:

A. Loyalty points trump all memberships
B. The current system where loyalty points plus membership dictates priority.

Yes this is the only issue I have, all who attended all home cup games should have been included CDS or not

Well how would they reward the cup scheme then?

Why should they reward it? If it was stated at the start of the season that being on the CDS would have reward then fair enough, but it wasn't.
I didnt join as i assumed it was simply for convenience, not a show of loyalty. Since it is easy for me to get tickets I did not see the point in joining.

The issue I have is that originally there was no difference between CDS and those who bought all the tickets when they come out, but now there is apparntly more loyalty for being in the CDS

Of course you can, why is that not a reason to compare the two?

If the club could see into the future agree with relevance club's the ticket prices and charge an upfront sum, they would.

If you we're a CC holder who'd pledged to attend every home game at the beginning of the season, you'd effectively be a ST holder.

If the club could charge people up front for the CDS they would. They can't though, but the commitment is there. At the end of the day if you knew you were going to attend every cup match you were daft not to sign up to the CDS, even if only for the bonus loyalty points and hassle-free nature of the scheme.

No need to chase your ticket, no risk of your ST seat going to someone else, no booking fee's. If you planned on going to every game anyway i don't see why you wouldn't.

I've joined every cup scheme, i didn't expect this kind of reward but it makes perfect sense, its the same process for the league games, as it now is for the cup games.
