There never has been a system that everyone would agree was fair to all. My personal opinion was the system in place when i bought my first sesaon ticket in the lare 70s. I became a 1st year season ticket holdet and when i renewed a 2nd year season ticket holder. Think after your 4th year you became a regular season ticket holder. When tickets for away games etc went on sale regulars got first pick then 4th years and so on. So once you had shown your loyalty you had a good chance of getting a ticket for away games. It was done on first come first served basis in all kinds of weather. Today it would probably have to be done by ballot but at least all regulars would have the same chance. This give the younger end of our fanbase something to aim for rather than a closed shop.
