Can absolutely guarantee there are thousands in T2.

Agreed. Whatever they do will be wrong for someone. Loyalty points work very badly as a concept for my personal situation as it’s pretty much impossible to get to away games on top of all the home matches but it is what it is.
Not so sure. Normally, the bands are calculated against everyone eligible, so T1 at a 3k ground ends at the points of the 3000th highest STH.
Here we’re only forming groups out of those who register interest so a sub set of the whole fanbase. 265 is a similar cut off for T1 to Everton yet for only 2300 tickets instead of 3000.
I’m with Dazzer - unless you know who registered, and their points, you simply don’t know the band size.
For T2 get on asap on Monday, logging on with more than one device if you can and pick quickly and decisively. I did that for Fulham and Palace last season and got tickets for both in a T2 bunfight. Ironically that helped me into the top this season.
So assume there are for league games as well (given points values are basically the same), but interesting how many games get a large % of tickets sold to T1, yet often sell few in the T2 window.…….I guess we’ve got a fairly hardcore away following of a couple of thousand or so now, with the rest ‘occasionals’
Thinking about it, you must be right on numbers, as anyone with a ST for 10 years who has done a few home cup matches or the odd away game will be on 220, but a large no. of STHs simply never go away.
How do you know? Remember this is a subset of only those who registered as well
This.
My lad (season ticket every season since 2008/09) has 222, and I can’t even recall the last away game we went to - bar the FA Cup semi final.

As someone on 260 points, this is all very irritating

I suppose the caveat is how many pre-registered for this fixture.
Try being a non STH on 270 points. Is what it is thoughAs someone on 260 points, this is all very irritating
The club essentially had two options...
- Have very narrow points bands after Tier 1 which would mean very few fans would have a chance of getting a ticket.
- Have a broad Tier 2 which would mean a lot of fans have a chance of getting a ticket.
I suspect whether you feel the club has made the right choice or not is probably quite closely aligned to your own points level.
260 points - the club have got it wrong.
220 points - the club have got it right.
(I've got 250 and think they've got it right)

If those in T2 know someone in T1, can the T1’s reserve a pre-arranged seat before the window opens so when the window does open the T2’s know exactly what seat to go for to avoid the scramble and whilst on the phone the T1’s empty their basket and the T2’s are waiting there to put the choosen seats straight in their basket and sail through customs. Easy.

Bit like the team finishing sixth winning the play offs
Do you mean you stopped your season ticket this season?
That shouldn't be possible any more.
It used to be the case that a Tier 1 could put tickets in their basket ahead of Tier 2 opening. Then, when Tier 2 opened, they'd merely allocate those "reserved" ticket to their Tier 2 F&F and complete the purchase.
I think the club became aware of this, and now manually flush the system ahead of each new tier opening, thereby meaning everyone has an equal chance.

•••••SCAM ALERT - BOOKING.COM••••
Received a message on the app today. My booking will be cancelled in 12 hours if I don’t update my Credit Card details as the payment has bounced. I knew my payment had gone through so rang the hotel directly. They’ve been hacked. Beware

The club may be thinking of a returns policy after that rhubarb today.
To do that the T2 has to have reached the front of the queue anyway - until they’re in the site they can’t do anything. Better for them to get their T1 pal to log in and book the ticket for them

While not a scam, I booked an apartment for Marseille just under two weeks ago via booking.com
I got an email through yesterday (all in French) from the private host who said they've implememted a mandatory 15 euro cleaning fee, not included in the total cost of the reservation.
It's payable in cash to the person who comes to collect the keys on day of departure.
There was no mention of any additional cost at time of booking. Seems a bit wrong to throw this in now. Can't see how they can enforce any such payment

If you click on a seat and proceed without a warning that the seat is no longer available then it's yours. Problem I've had is when others select same seats prior to proceeding to allocation/payment. It highlights in red that the seat is not available, very irritating!
