I'm not that bothered about the Upper Tier either to be honest. Yeah, It's not the greatest view but give me that over Newcastle away. I'm have probably given away body parts for that view at Withdean.
it could be that the person bought the ticket with all intentions to go to newcastle didn't make it for a certain reason (could be any number of reasons why) and due to the fact they can't get a refund for the ticket or pass it on to someone else to use they asked their mate to scan the ticket to at least accumulate the points. In this situation it didn't impact someone from not attending. - ANYONE who wanted a ticket for Newcastle away had an opportunity to get a ticket - There is not 100% fair system, someone will always fall the wrong side of where the rules are drawn It would be very difficult to find the " absolute perfect" system , however I feel that on the whole the ticket system and loyalty points has proven to be fair for the majority of people. i'm not sure what else can be done / improved that isn't seen as "draconian"You are not the first to say this, hopefully the club will find out and our stewards who go to away games will be vigilant to this and start to ban a few people as it stops fans who want to attend but don't have the points getting the opportunity due to selfish
It may not have stopped someone from attending the Newcastle game, but it could have meant that this person ended up in a higher tier for (for example) West Ham and so got a ticket in place of someone else.
Not a bizarre attitude at all, not everyone (and this might surprise you) can financially afford and/or get out of commitments such as work or family and therefore have to be selective on where to go.
Agreed. I have to pick and choose to a certain extent for family and financial reasons.
doesnt look like itSeems like there are more tickets available but they're not available to general STHs
Agreed. I was naive re Europe booking Amsterdam and Athens before tickets went on sale, It worked out ok in the end but was stressful. With hindsight It would have been less aggro to go to Marseilles
the view
100% agree, its about following the team not a view for you. but i guess less of those lot the better the atmosphere
Where's the ambition I want Champions League Tickets.
You're right and those fans will already mostly be in the top tier.
That's a shame, the discount is valid for tickets booked up to the 21st Dec but, as you say, the discount needed to be applied for before the 18th as that is when the emails with the code were sent out.
