Quote ="21-12"The game is 5 weeks away, people are still having to fork out for Widnes and a lot probably havn't thought about Saints yet.
=#FF0000And how would a Loyalty scheme change this? The ST Holders that haven't bought because it's 5 weeks away would still not have bought them for the very same reasons they haven't got 1 yet? Unless your saying we should only sell them 1 week before the game so that they can "Think" about it?
Another example is Cup finals, if your happy that people who have missed 70% or more of games in the season are just as entitled to you, that have probably missed none to a ticket in the FIRST sale, this means probably getting better seats, then thats fine, but I know a lot that aren't.
=#FF0000???
I'm saying that in 95%+ of instances it isn't a problem (Really should be 100%) as as a ST holder I have yet to get to a stage where I or anyone else has missed out on an away ticket if I or anyone else wanted one so what's the problem?
As someone has previously said every ST holder is gauranteed a ticket for any major finals. With regards to Non ST Holders then I may agree with that there potentially could be day trippers who get one before someone who has attended every game Home & Away that season.
I would only say that as a Single lad yourself you've failed to grasp how it would affect the many,many Families who want to sit together yet would now under your system potentially have to queue 3/4/5 times due to the different number of loyalty points each family/friend member had! Add to that how much extra work it would take the club etc (Leyther Matts points earlier) and I would have a guess the benefits are far outweighed by the negatives.
I dont feel "strongly" about it, I just think that its the fairest way to sell tickets for games with smaller allocations, hence the reason why every premier league football club in the country use the said system.
=#FF0000And I'm pretty sure that's probably not how 90% of League 1 League 2 clubs sell their away tickets because to be frank there isn't the Constant demand to use those systems due to the much smaller fan base. I'm pretty sure that SL crowds in general are more akin to that level of support for away games than it is for PL Football
