You make some interesting points but do you seriously believe that those 2k+ tickets for our next away match are all genuine tickets when our allocation is only around 3000? Given the number that went on sale to points holders at the outset, that 2k+ is clearly a bullshit figure.At Bournemouth last week I was surrounded by supporters that clearly hadn’t purchased their tickets the correct way. I also met someone last year who boasted how he can get tickets for any match yet has no season ticket and doesn’t belong to a supporters club. He has ‘contacts’..
One resale ticket site has 2K+ plus tickets for our next away match including multiple tickets in the City end starting at £320 per ticket!
This is wrong and has got to change.
Problem with a rolling 5 years of points is that in 5 years time we will have 30K supporters all on maximum points.
Problem with away ticket points is they’re very cheap and will attract points whores. Also too easy to sell on.
My suggestion would be to divide every supporter’s existing points total by 10, with weighted future points quickly closing the gap. Older supporters would have to attend most matches to keep their slight lead above the newer fans.
Award 50 points for away matches and ensure names are written on each ticket. Have City staff situated on every away ground’s queue, checking each supporters Id. Apparently, for away games Brighton give 10 match bans to anyone not able to reconcile their ticket with id. City should adopt something similar.
So, proportionately reduce everyone’s ticket points, give points for away games and enforce ticket id checks, would in my opinion make the allocation of tickets fairer.

Think he means 2,000 in the whole ground.

The 2K+ tickets available are mainly in the home end, but there are many in the City end for sale.You make some interesting points but do you seriously believe that those 2k+ tickets for our next away match are all genuine tickets when our allocation is only around 3000?

Nice attempt at humour but as a pedantic twunt I have to point out we've never played Hartlepool away in a first-team fixture. The only game against them was the 6-0 FA Cup win at Maine Road in 1976. - The day Dennis Tueart and one of their players (Potter?) were sent off.You’d have 33k if you’d have pulled your finger out and gone to Hartlepool.

It was a shocker from Tueart, who delivered a flying head butt into the face of a Hartlepool player and broke his cheekbone after he climbed off the floor. That player retired from football shortly afterwards.Nice attempt at humour but as a pedantic twunt I have to point out we've never played Hartlepool away in a first-team fixture.

It's also a sobering thought that the game was almost fifty years ago.It was a shocker from Tueart, who delivered a flying head butt into the face of a Hartlepool player and broke his cheekbone after he climbed off the floor. That player retired from football shortly afterwards.

Ok, fair enough. It's worth noting, however, that 3rd party ticket sites don't always have the tickets in their possession. They often have to source them once an order has been placed and if they can't then they cancel the order.....or - as we once found out regarding V Festival tickets - fuck off with your money, never to be heard from again!The 2K+ tickets available are mainly in the home end, but there are many in the City end for sale.
Even worse, I was there and remember it!It's also a sobering thought that the game was almost fifty years ago.
