New Ticket Points System idea

[cityutopia]

All current points converted to ‘legacy points’ at a rate of 1000 ticket points to 2 legacy points, these stay on forever. These will be rounded up.
E.g 17810 = 36 legacy points

Then a ticket point is awarded 1 per home game and added to your total. These will stay on for 5 years and then roll off. No points for away games as whoring would return.

Also if ticket is not scanned at the gate then a point is not awarded. England do this with their 'caps' so I don't see why City couldn't. This would improve home attendance and atmosphere.

This system rewards loyalty and also gives people the chance to catch up.

Great idea in theory but I wonder if the genius minds at the ticket office are able to implement it correctly.

I hope that the ticket office visit a change to the system to incorporate this whilst also considering a reciprocal ticket allocation deal, offering clubs more tickets in exchange for more away tickets for city fans.

There also has to be more made of the current issues with away tickets on resale sites such as stubhub/viagogo at insane prices. Touting from corporate/sponsor allocations that surely make up more than the stated 10%

Theyll never fuck them off completely but more needs to be made about corps / hospitality / sponsors seemingly getting more and more each season

I’m on high points currently where I don’t have to worry about getting tickets for big games but I think a rolling 3 or 5 year system is more than fair. Must be tough for the young lads nowadays even with the 18–25

Actually the opposite has happened. Hospitality allocation is a ballot now.

They couldn't run a bath ha ha

Reciprocal ticket allocation deal a great shout but very hard to implement.

Current minimum is 3000 unless their capacity is <30k then it should be 10% of the ground.

Why not just have a blanket 10% across all stadiums? Surely that's fairer? The current system means those in smaller stadiums are at a disadvantage as they have a lower % of home fans there compared to larger ones.

Maybe not the official club hospitality. However its clear that more tickets are being siphoned off to other sponsors/companies/re-sell sites at the expense of seasoncard holders. For example... Reports of a row of 20 tourists being in our end at Arsenal through a holiday package from a Chinese company. On Live Football tickets there 35 tickets on sale in our end at United already Including 6+ together for £300+. There are more on stubhub

All whilst only 40% of tickers (1200) were available at Monday 10am to points holders
