Sir Says Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I've booked hospitality direct with Wimbledon that includes a ticket on the away end. £75 for me and £50 for my son. I'm trying to join the 92 club and am on 81 grounds but only have 370 points so no chance of getting a ticket any other way. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanharper Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Blimey that's not many. I bought tickets that I couldn't use for Ipswich and Mansfield in the hope of getting into the second bracket for this game and I'm still only in the 5th! At least it says "initial allocation" so there'll surely be more but it's still going to be tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

another1bitesthedust Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I don't know if anyone has raised this question before but if a season ticket holder left their 19/20 rebate money in the club, could they potentially have 50 points more than someone who wanted it back ? If it is the case, it could be the reason that some think they should have more points than they actually have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castleford Owl Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Bit bizarre that they wouldn't just give us the full allocation at once. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onlyonedavidhirst Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 It is tricky right now to get into a higher tier. I’m on 640 points, been to every game this season bar Morecambe when I couldn’t get a ticket. I’ve been to around 125 grounds watching Wednesday and this is the first year I’ve struggled for tickets, generally speaking I go to around 15 away matches each season along with having a season ticket for 47 years on the bounce. In the 18 months up to Covid I attended slightly less due to family health (as well as taking family to 4 matches using hospitality, for which you don’t get points) and so the timing couldn’t be worse. All my mates who have more points than me just buy tickets for every away game and don’t then worry if they attend or not, it keeps them top of the queue. The system’s flawed but I don’t blame anyone who does that, nor do I blame the club, it’s impossible to get a perfect system. I’ll probably go to Wimbledon in the home end but once again I’m dropping down the priority list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hopevalleyowl Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Our lot all have between 680-720. We’ve bought tickets in the home end as back up. No idea when this could theoretically sell out, anybody ITK on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotherham sold out early in the third phase I think. New ground, combined with an ever popular London awayday and I think this could be similar especially when there's a hardcore support of about a thousand who go to pretty much every away game no matter what.

hopevalleyowl Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Like someone else has said, I’m struggling to see how people get up to those high numbers? I’m on 700 and missed Plymouth (this season) and roughly 4 or 5 aways in 19/20 before covid 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever the pessimist Posted September 30, 2021 Author Share Posted September 30, 2021 My old man is one of the fools who bought a club 1867 deal so has 800 points apparently. Result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll probably go to Wimbledon in the home end but once again I’m dropping down the priority list. With the increasing use of scanners to enter games, I'm sure that a system can be put in place that if the ticket isn't scanned in (meaning you haven't gone to the game) then yoy don't get the points. It's the only way I can think. Likewise, making tickets have your name on and require photo ID to collect, could help cut down on the selling problem.
