That’s why I fucked off Platinum years ago, I’ve been a season ticket holder since 2003, been away with the military from 87-2000 so no season ticket for me then. So I started new, I have been in all the schemes and have had a ticket for every home game I was platinum for many years as well, got rid about 5 years ago. I couldn’t get tickets for away games when they were giving points so had to buy off people who were just points hoarding. I’ve got just over 14k, looking at what it starts at these days around 30k plus I was never going to get anywhere near those points. I’ve saved myself around £250 on platinum for Porto CL it cost me £400 for at ticket via uefa, as I missed out by 500 points, I got one for Istanbul on my points so wasn’t an issue.Especially, when there are thousands of points holders who go to every home game and haven’t moved up the points ladder for aways in the last five years. Plenty have gone backwards.
You can always get a ticket for a League cup final if not on the scheme, FA cup could be tight but I won’t do the semis on principle anymore, I’ll get one some way. CL is the one but considering the spiraling costs of everything these days I’m done with it after this season, I’ve seen us win it all, I’m happy with that and I’m sick of been dictated to on what I do with my ticket if I decide not to go. Next year I’ll just do the league and FA cup but soon as I lose ground not been in the other schemes they’ll be no reason to do FA cup either as my points dwindle compared to others so I’ll be out the running anyway.
