What this is really about is JCLs getting upset because they are not first in the queue
Beaker who i replied to joined here in 2020, now I don’t know but they may have also just started following City then so no doubt they are behind in the queue
Plenty of opportunity for people to get tickets though. Brighton away went to open sale, Palace 18k, Villa now is down to 19k
If our form continues as it is there will be plenty of other opportunities also
Soton, Ipswich will easily go down to low points.
IMO the loyalty points should stay, a lot who have them will stop going, we can see that with the above. The real issue is the passing on of any tickets but that has always happened and will do forever no matter what system is in place

Do you reckon so? I was expecting that one to be popular as a lot aged under early 40s won't have done that ground before, or at least not as an adult, and it's not a huge allocation.Ipswich will easily go down to low points.
I guess it won't be much of a draw for tourists though so be interesting what points level it does reach...I'm hoping below 23.5k!

It was on £35 free cancellation
There will always be certain away matches that will go to low points due to the day and time of the match, and the distance of the match.
But the big away games, or games with a low ticket allocation, will always sell out at high away points. Those are the away matches most City fans want an away ticket for.

Beaker has had a season ticket since we were playing at Maine Road, used to have a different account on here but hadn’t contributed for a good while, forgot the login, so set up a different account. Is that OK?Platinum does fuck all really nowadays and no one makes anyone pay

Just over a decade ago I was quite high up the loyalty points list, but kids and a mortgage put a stop to attendance at away games for a number of years, so fell down the list, I accept that, but I disagree that points should go back to an arbitrary date in 2001. There’s thousands of people who attended regularly before that date, so why isn’t their attendance prior to 2001 recognised? In the early 2000’s the club were throwing 100’s of points at people for purchasing tickets to low demand games, they don’t do that anymore, so supporters who didn’t gain from that are at a disadvantage straight away.
It should be a rolling 3-5 year basis, points reinstated for away games,(if a percentage of people have to produce ID to prove they’re the legitimate ticket holder then so be it) platinum scrapped, and the club should be held to the commitment to minimum 60% tickets to points holders (this should be more, but one step at a time).

I’ve had a ST continually since 86/87 season but only 17390 points. In that time I’ve missed probably no more than ten home matches in all competitions.
I don’t bother even looking at away match tickets now although I still go to a few per year if there’s any spares knocking about - including today as it happens!
Platinum is what’s been the killer. What a disgraceful concept that is.

You’re right, nobody is forced to pay, it’s a personal choice. Platinum did make a difference initially, and it still does for lots of City fans lower down the loyalty points ladder. If you add Platinum to CL, FA Cup, and Carabao cup scheme points, as a total, that makes a big difference in the increase each season on your loyalty points, and could and does make a difference to getting an away ticket or not.
