To answer the first one, no. And the second one yes, but not if the support is very passive. Just think last year for some people the motivation was more about the points than actually cheering on the team, with people do u turns at the turnstile.

To be fair since the introduction of loyalty points in 2011, I think Iāve never left Tier 1. From memory I think I was even in the top group for Maidstone away in Pre Season that for some bizarre reason went to loyalty points (I didnāt go).

It doesn't help we can't pass tickets on. Equally, I get why the club did it. I don't know what the answer is.
We've got a spare for Leicester due to a rearranged football game. My eldest went to the Liverpool home game (previously hated it), has expressed an interest and I can't give it to him just in case. It's rubbish the seat will be empty.

I agree completely on the last point, but nobody at the club seems that bothered about possibly find a solution.

Thatās ā¦ermā¦ well I canāt find words, disgraceful? bizarre? puzzling? I donāt know what to say.
Personally If I knew this for a fact Iād have kept it to myself, it could only encourage them.

Due to waking up at 6am on the Wednesday and working until 4pm and then getting 2 flights with the first at around 2am, then 3 hours time difference, I was up for;
Ajax, 46 hours
Athens 50 hours FBS gig
Rome 45 hours
I would do it all again next year if it were to happen but as I've only managed to do 1 away this season and dropped to tier 3 on PL allocation I think I will struggle but with 4 away games minimum, you never know...

I thought you only got the points once youd scanned in? The club wait 7-10 days to allocate the points as they wait for gate info from the other club?

Perhaps if the home club choose not to share that information, then every ticket holder gets points?
Iāve missed two away games I had a ticket for, didnāt get the points for either. Probably depends on the away clubās data efficiency and accuracy (or willingness to provide it)
That's how I understood it was meant to be

Yep ... I went to 16/19 league games (away) last season. Also had ticket for Arsenal but had missed something in family calendar I couldn't get out of. Realised very quickly and tried to offer ticket back to the club (an e-ticket that hadn't been issued and I wasn't bothered about a refund - but club refused). I didn't get the points ... which is what I expected.
Surely in the age of e/digital ticketing, clubs can void and resell a ticket, especially when a lot of booking links are often not sent out until a couple of days before the match.
Letās say the cut off point is 72 hours before kick off for when you can return your ticket to the club. That gives clubs enough time to send out links and enough time for people to download them. It would make a big difference for a lot of people to have that flexibility. Of course, loyalty points wouldnāt be awarded to the original booker who has cancelled.

The technology is available, as it used for gig tickets. Why clubs choose not to use it is the real question.

I also missed the Arsenal game last season due to norovirus, and didnāt let the club know. I still got my points added

That's very random then as my mate also was unable to go due to being unwell. He didn't let the club know and didn't get points added.

Yes, very odd. I gave the club 12 days notice in my case.
And a couple of years ago I was unable to attend two matches I had paper tickets for. All very late notice as my son ended up in hospital. Phoned and spoke with the club who instructed me to send tickets back first class so they could actually re-issue them. And I got a refund.
