Should be an absolute givenWe’d all love for away tickets to be 100% sold by loyalty points, but in the modern, greed is good world, in which we live, that isn’t going to happen. If a corporate paying tens of thousands of pounds a season, or a sponsor pumping money into the club wants four tickets for Liverpool away, then they will get them, we might not like it but they will. However there should be mechanisms put in place to ensure that they use them legitimately and aren’t sourcing them to make a profit.
There is a battle to be fought with the club over this and where they could meet us half way is the guarantee of 60% sold via loyalty points, and transparency over who has got what tickets. Anybody found to be putting tickets on resale sites should be sanctioned and barred from applying for a designated period, irrespective of whether they are bog standard general admission season ticket holders or corporate, sponsors etc.
I don’t think that’s too much for us as supporters to ask of the club.
What’s the point of any of the supporter groups or reps if basic things like away allocations are not at the forefront. I think people accept that some tickets are siphoned off and resold to corporate etc, but if there was a cast iron guarantee of the allocations at least we would know what to expect
