DANURGHE82-
It is a genuine offer and have had plenty of interest. I am totally not bothered about loyalty points. My boy who is 11 is only gold and not on any of the cup schemes.He has 2010 pts. We go to all games together that we can get a ticket for away (as I said,Wigan,Villa,Blackburn) If I was that arsed I would have put him on all 3 schemes especially at the prices but no point for him.
The ticket is available as I said. Why let it go to waste when someone may need one ticket and I fall into the criteria to enable someone to go.True I get the points but that is not my doing that has always been the case. I know people who did the cup offer last year where you got 100pts per ticket(correct me if I am wrong) and didn't even attend. I will purchase collect and then arrange handover of ticket at next home game...
The club clearly stated members in the cup scheme get preference-No hiding that.
Because lets say the top 3000 fans on a loyalty points basis all decide not to go.
They all sell their tickets to whoever regardless of points etc.
All 3000 then get more points and so pull further away from the rest.
Fan 3001 is sitting waiting for the criteria to go down to his level. It doesnt, he misses out whilst someone gets one who might go to 3 games a season.
I know it goes on but i dont particularly agree with it.
I am sure your offer is very genuine and well meaning but in general thats what sales criteria is for, to give people lower down the ladder a chance to get a ticket and then build their own points up. What you do and what others do stops that happening.
