People aren't understanding the posts made or maybe I'm not, this is what i'm getting. They're not saying that kids don't deserve to go (If they are then ok I see your points), they are basically saying that no-one should lose out on a ticket by someone with less points than them, including juniors.
Someone said that their children had about 3800pts earlier, is it fair that someone with 4000pts could lose out getting a ticket to your children with 3800pts? If yes then whats the purpose of loyalty points? Because that just turns it on its head.
Your point is mute at best as the tickets will not sell out at the 4000 point level. Based on the criteria city have announced it is more likely to be nearer the 3000 point level.
Therefore I think city have got it wrong in saying any child seasoncard holder can apply for a ticket. A point restriction should have been insisted upon and I suggested 2000 points but wouldn't disagree with a higher figure.
If we want to encourage the next generation to support city then there has to be some tolerance with the criteria for our kids.
Remember though city have stated that there are a 'limited' amount of tickets available for kids who don't meet the points criteria.
Lastly I just ask you this - who is actually more loyal - a 12 year old with 3800 points or a 40 year old with 4000 points?
You can argue the case for both and in the cold light of day the 40 yr old has more points but I say hats of to the 12 yr old.
Come on city!
