I think it seems reasonable too. Sounds like a good event that will be fun - crucially, given the ticketing arrangements, the 1,000 "Albion fans" there will be regulars who get it rather than corporate daytrippers...

YET AGAIN it’s loyalty points. What is wrong with a first come first served across all STHs for this event?
To reward the most loyal fans...Not difficult to understand is it?

Sounds quite reasonable to me, even though I most definitely prepare the atmosphere of a boozer pre match.
However, no-one is forcing me to go, so no need to wet my knickers over its existence.

£10 is fantastic value for what they've got in store for us, it's going to be an absolute hoot. I am going to the Ibis and then Wetherspoons but this would be an excellent alternative.

strong and stable with me, or...
Limited to 1000 tickets; perhaps it is only fair that the supporters that travel the length and breadth of the country get first dibs over the ST holder that got their first season ticket last season and don't go to cup or away games? Just a thought.

A Brighton and Hove Albion foam hand? This is what I've been waiting for the past 33 years! So when you see all those people with foam hands, please know that at least two of them are long-term Albionites who've been to Rochdale, Shrewsbury.... etc etc you get the gist

I absolutely get your point on this, but where do you draw the line? We’re not talking about match tickets. Should people with more loyalty points get priority for the trains? Clearly not, but what about Seagulls Travel? That works without a loyalty points system.

I’m not getting into this again. It’s bullshit. I’ve been to Everton, Huddersfield, Anfield, OT, West Ham, WBA replay this season alone. I went to Fulham but had to spend £50 on a neutral ticket. I’m going to Chelsea. Yet I’m still no where near the ‘top’ 1000 and never will be, as it’s a closed shop, these fans keep their points up even if they go to the matches or not. As the Millwall match proved. I’m f’ing sure that as soon as the new WHL tickets go on sale I’ll get nowhere near that either.
I agree you need a system but this one is elitist, England operate a 80%-20% for away games. 80% for points, 20% ballot. It is far fairer.
Bollox I’ve been drawn into this again.

Well...I have been to more games than you this season, and probably the seasons before... Why should you get a ticket but I cant?
As it happens I wont be going but the loyalty point system is fair, you know it, the club knows it.

‘Rewarding’ the top 1000 ‘loyal’ supporters would have been to make it £0 admission......... I suspect “we know this lot are most likely to pay it” is nearer the truth.
I really don't get your point. Or is it, you want a loyalty system that is convenient to you and the amount of games you have been to?
Milano

I disagree, so I don’t ‘know it’. I agree the club knows a captive audience when they see it.
I do not deserve a ticket more than you, that’s my whole point.
Rubbish. I know two friends who moved from 2nd tier to 1st last season. If you have a season ticket and regularly attend away games you’ll be fine. It’s not a closed shop.

Not seen such Bravery!
Maybe priority should be given to the 42nd minute half time boozers at the Amex ?
First 150 to each stand's half time bar v Southampton get a golden ticket.

No, but you need a chance to break into it. There is no chance to get into their top tier of this system if you are not already in it. Then you can’t go to a significant amount of away games, can’t add enough points, thus a viscous circle.
I would be less annoyed with this system if you couldn’t game it. Names should be printed on all away tickets for all matches and there should be random ID checks.
