Platinum question please.

[goater1978]

possibly, last season the cup scheme direct people only became available for FA Cup final tickets half way through the sale period. I suspect that when we get to the next final they will do the same where those with loads of loyalty points get tickets first and then the cup scheme comes in later on. Still if you only want final tickets and not away tickets then there is really no point going for the platinum ticket!

If you're too thick to see what is happening then that's (I'll let you off this one) your problem, we are getting more and more like them pricks in Trafford each day.

You're is what you want there. It means you are. Your is possessive. I do not own too thickness and if I did I'd transfer the title to yours truly as an act of charity. Just thought you ought to know that before you give anyone else lessons in intelligence.

Anyway, some people are of the mind that the importance of loyalty points will increase so the club can cynically monetise them. If there's no return on them then pretty soon people will stop paying. SWP's back has ventured the view that soon buying club merchandise and beer in City Square will also come with loyalty points to encourage sales. This will only work if there's some benefit in getting loyalty points. Therefore, some, quite logically, have to the conclusion that they'll increase in importance. If you don't believe that, fine, and don't go along with it and you'll have the last laugh, but don't call people sad donkeys because using logic they happen to have come to a different conclusion.

Thank you for the lesson regards basic English, I admit I do struggle with where to put comma's etc and admit I am not the most intelligent.

Sad donkeys is a bit harsh so apologies to anyone offended. However, I am sick of being taken advantage of by money men in the game, I wish more seen it like this as initiatives such as loyalty points being given to those that are willing to pay more wouldn't take off. Extra points for beer bought at City Square and merchandise bought in the store, where is it going to end?

I await "this is what success brings, like it or lump it".

The long term future of the game looks bleak and I am only 29, i won't be going for the next 3 years never mind 30 if it carries on

How much are the cup schemes?

free to join but you are committed to buy all home cup games.

You can opt out during the season but will lose the points for the particular cup scheme<br /><br />-- Thu Jun 09, 2011 2:54 pm --<br /><br />

Yes you do mate. I got it for upgrading to platinum and joining the cup schemes. 1200 points shaaaaaaaaating !

your right, but its still a piss take

No he didnt he got 600 points

 

[SWP's back]

Please explain as I am a donkey and can't understand.

That's why you're a donkey.

Made me smile

Edit: skashion has explained very well why loyalty points will increase rather than diminish in importance over the coming seasons. A ballot system would make no sense and decrease the clubs opportunity to increase revenue though increasing demand.

I only done the Carling Cup and FA Cup, not sure whether i'll have the money in my bank to cover the CL matches.

why didnt you cut one of the first two out for champs league?

Just tried to renew for me and the lad for next season online. Got to the part to add on the cup schemes and i can't change the option to tick in the boxes, it will only change to a red cross to decline the option. Go to the next page and it doesn't mention the cup schemes have been added. Has anybody else had this problem?

yes click it goes to red cross. it includes you in the cup scheme, i.e. ticking the box takes you to what you want.

Because I can't guarantee i'll have the money in my bank, am I right in saying we'll definitely be playing 3 home matches? Thats £120. I get paid cash so i'll still go to them but just get them from the ticket office when they come about instead of potentially going overdrawn.

The CC and FA cup tend to be cheap anyway so I should have money in to cover them.

Renewed online during the week and couldn't include the cup schemes for some reason. Rang up ticket office and they supposedly added them on. Checked my loyalty points on the official site tonight but the points were missing and showed I still wasn't in the schemes. There is an option though that lets you add the schemes you want, sorted and extra points showing straight away.
