This can't be right as we were told that 60% of tickets go to points holders. I wrote to the ticket compliance manager asking why are reseller sites having away tickets made available for them which on many occasions end up with fans of other clubs and how many tickets are given to these sites for home and away games on average.
The answer I received was 'this is information that is not shared publicly'
We all know that it's because we have been lied to for many years and as many have pointed out the £50 extra to be a platinum card holder was arguably sold under false pretense. If I am on 100 points and someone is on 200 and we both are on platinum and the cup schemes I am never going to catch up. But if we are both able to purchase tickets via the points system it doesn't matter, But if the number of tickets available drops then not only am I not going to catch the person but I am unable to purchase tickets as they have run out at 150 points rather than 50 points. What's the point of going platinum other than filling the coffers of the club. If 20k SC holders go platinum it's £1m extra in the pot, enough to pay Haaland, KDB and a couple of others for a week.
