No idea when this could theoretically sell out, anybody ITK on that? Always the third phase, can never sell out in the first two phases, I think that’s how they work out the points based on the allocation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m on 700 and missed Plymouth (this season) and roughly 4 or 5 aways in 19/20 before covid 19 But what about cup home games like Huddersfield in EFL cup, Newcastle and Mansfield EFL trophy? There's 30 points, like said previously to have 800 points you need to have gone to every single game home and away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who came up with that monstrosity TBH, the points system is the fairest way, those who go to most games get 1st chance. I'll miss out but, just go in their end like other games. All fans of the bigger clubs have the same issue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. i don’t see any incentive for the club to do that. After all Wimbledon aren’t really bothered whether an away fan turns up or not once they’ve sold the ticket and in some instances they may sell less if they impose extra rules or restrictions. It’s just a bi-product of supporting a club that can often sell more tickets than they are given. Like I said before I don’t blame anyone, I just find it frustrating. I messaged someone last night who has more points than me, will get a Wimbledon ticket but won’t go, has bought a ticket for every game this season and has attended 3 games less than me and has also spent less on tickets cos he rarely buys them in the adult category whilst I do, plus he often passes them on or sells them if he’s not going. Nobody could see this happening cos the last time we were going to matches was in the Championship and it wasn’t an issue getting tickets for me at least as I was usually 2nd category. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morganowl Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 there is no right or wrong system but it looks more and more are been a bit naughty by buying tickets for every game and not going . its just impossible for many to get tickets . ive attended every home game in the 2 seasons league /cup . and most away games . only plymouth missed ,and in 2019/20 the away night games apart from 2/3 i got to inc derby but attended every saturday away game ,yet i doubt i will get a ticket for this . if people are abusing this system then i can see a big shock coming for a few when the club adopt the leeds away system when it goes to 1st come 1st served for a few away games . if you aint going stop been an arse by depriving others of getting tickets ,all it needs is a few to make complaints then the club will look into this , and thats not what we want is it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with most of your post I believe owlstalk should not be used to this abuse of the system posts regarding selling and buying of tickets should be deleted immediately 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreatNebber Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Back in March 2012 I managed to get a ticket for the Notts County away game where the season turned on it's head and we gained the advantage over United in the fight for automatic promotion. I was a season ticket holder but at this point I'd only been to one other away game that season. I don't recall any issue getting a ticket for what I'm guessing was a high demand game. This was before the priority points system and maybe I just got lucky but I do have the general impression that going away was a lot easier back then for the more casual away supporter; less overall demand and maybe people not buying tickets for games they don't actually want / intend to go to just to get the points. The priority points system is probably the fairest way to go about things and people 'gaming' the system are probably few and far between and I can accept likely missing out on Wimbledon and Cheltenham but I am interested in the culture change the system has introduced in fan behaviour.

pahowl Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Don't forget out of the allocation there are players tickets and box holder entitlements to take off, as well as away season ticket holders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tashton Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Something strange with tickets website. The Wimbledon match appears on away tickets available when usually it doesn't until you have enough points. It then lets you select tickets,put in basket then won't let you proceed to checkout.... It's greyed out. I'm sure that's no normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
