Ah that's a bit more info...So you stand at the turnstile with one phone switching and swiping them in? My dad also goes in a different entrance as he has to use a lift. Not really practical I don’t think.

Which is all I was trying to say.I think the issue being debated / argued is that 'loyalty' has now been segregated and that some fans are more loyal than others. Either points should have been used for the whole ballot and that includes hospitality or just a straight ballot. By ring fencing fans with more than 22k points the club is saying they deserve a ticket more which can't be fair.
Yes sorry didn’t think of that initially, plus sometimes we all go in separately depending on who finishes their beer first! Hope my phone does not go flat. Can’t see why we can’t keep a cardAh that's a bit more info...
Those are the same 'deserving' people you decided shouldn't get any points for their efforts to attend away games.I used to do most aways up to about 2012 then fell down the points ladder when living and working away from home so couldn't do it any more. But in the last couple of seasons I got tickets for places like Cardiff, Leicester and even Everton & Arsenal. League Cup games are also a great way to get away tickets.
But if we're up in the North East on a Tuesday evening, or at Reading on a Monday night (as we're have been), you won't get home till the early hours of the morning and may have to be up for work a few hours later. Yet there are people who do this regularly, season in, season out, using their holidays up on watching City. Those people deserve to see us lift the trophy a week on Sunday.
100% agree which has been my point from the beginning. The phrase 'primus inter pares' springs to mind. Why won't the club tell us how the 10k is being divided up?Which is all I was trying to say.
Is someone on 21990 points less deserving than someone on 22000 points? If yes, then the principle is established and points should have been the method used in ticket allocation. If not then it's a straight ballot.

If you accept that fans on 22000 points deserve to be at the game more than fans on 21000 points doesn't it also follow that fans on 21000 points are more deserving than fans on 20000 points, etc. If you do how can you argue against points being the primary means of allocating tickets for this game?
If you do respond keep it civil. I'm making a valid point.
I'm as tired of the argument as you seem to be.The argument could go on forever. I didn't miss a game home or away in all competitions for over 10 years in the 80's and 90's but haven't got any points for that loyalty. I actually reduced the number of away games pretty much just as the points system came in to play (marriage, kids etc.) but still did and do plenty of them now. I am on c.21k points but would have been to many more games over the years than some people on 22k now. As I say, the argument could go on forever.
