Spent half an hour on the ticketline, but purchase completed OK.
Confirmed that no monies were taken in yesterday's debacle.

No you're missing my point. I am a season ticket holder so have 1000 loyalty points to begin with. I've been to every home cup game so far this season so have the maximum loyalty points for that. So in effect, I couldn't have put any more money into the club unless I had been a Withdean STH or 1901. I've been to about 4 or 5 away games as well. Yet I am in the same loyalty bracket as someone who has an Amex season ticket but hasn't been to any of the home cup games or any away games
It doesn't matter as a) I cant go and b) you can always get whatever tickets you want anyway, but I'm just confused as to the thinking behind it. Surely there should first be a window for the 1901ers and the Withdean STH. Then the Amex STH who have been to home cup games and some away games. Then the Amex STH who haven't, then everyone else?
Otherwise, what was the point in the loyatly system? They may just as well have said tickets are available to any STH first, then everyone else later.
all sorted now for me and [MENTION=498]Braders[/MENTION]

we're no better off than somebody who has a Season Ticket and pops along to the home games
This is my response from an email that I sent last night (btw I wasn't moaning in any way, just stating my opinion)
Hi Michael,
thanks for your comments re the points allocation for the Southampton game.
I take your comments and board and when we next go on sale with a big game we may well change the levels. The problem is we will never be able to please everyone. In the past when we had gone on sale with more dates and points totals (for example the Portsmouth game) the sales were very slow so we thought we would try to lump them together for this one.
We were originally going to stagger sales for those who had attended more Away games but then you get into the realm of Southampton being a local game and many fans saying that they are unable to travel to the further away games and so we were penalising them. Or you get a fan who has been to 5 away games (1,050 points) and we say the total is 1060 feeling put out that they get lumped in with the next level.
The loyalty points process is a learning curve for all involved and after the sales process has finished we will look again at how the process went and take on board feedback from fans.
all the best
Rowan
This loyalty point system is a complete farce. The gold/white and blue membership was easy to follow and straight forward for buying tickets- with it you knew what your purchasing power was for the whole season. It would make for a much better system. If the club wanted to reward Withdean STH a fourth category could be added.
Getting the odd ten points for this and ten for that is ridiculous.
I watch a lot of live music and if tickets go on sale for a band that may sell out I have to act quickly or tough shit. I dont get points for seing the band in the past or watching them in a city elsewhere. Why is football different
Football is different as many people have committed to pay a lot of money for a season ticket as opposed to a gig here and there.
