Ticket points survey.

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.

It made a big difference to those who got it who were away regulars, probably about 10k points, but it just meant they stayed where they are and other who got it fell behind at a slower rate as point were cut.

The initial take up on Platinum was probably slow at first as people didn’t want to spend an extra £50 on their season tickets, and it was seen as nothing more than an additional money making gimmick by the club. But over the seasons, added with the cup scheme points, I think the take up on Platinum did increase a lot, because people genuinely thought it would make the difference between getting an away ticket or not. Is it worth doing now, definitely not, because away tickets are getting harder and harder to get, and the away loyalty points gaps for those away tickets is getting bigger and bigger.
 
They should have some randomly allocated away tickets, like a lottery say 100 tickets to those with over 150 points perhaps? 48hr window to make the purchase otherwise passes to someone else, been to a few away games but £200+ for a resale ticket plus travel costs is too much.
 
I recieved the survey, and made the point I no longer care about loyalty points.

I used to go away regularly until a few years ago, but as tickets became increasingly difficult to obtain, I stopped looking.

My first away was at Sheffield United in 1967.

My last away was at Arsenal in December 2019.

I've given up with it.
 
Just completed it - so points for attendance/listing on exchange on way.
They don't give a fig about ticket points for aways.
