[Albion] Luton/Spurs/Sheff Utd away tickets

[Midget]

3 in one. That's going to test the bank balance/credit cards.

And the ticket site

Assume Stoke points haven't been added yet?

Nor West Ham

My view on this, and I might ask, is the club structure it like this...

- Tier 1: Narrow. Everyone guaranteed a ticket, so tier 1 = the number of tickets available.
- Tier 2: Wide. Give a lot of people a chance of going. Essentially a ballot/lottery of a large group of remaining fans.

Yes, but it's not fair is it. Someone on 380 surely deserves to have a better chance of going than someone on 246. Given there will be three sales as well, the queuing system will be in place so chances are the person on 380 misses out.

Ps) I'm on 400+ so I'm alright Jack but this isn't fair.

I get there may be time pressures, but in which case why not stick in a 2pm window for say 320+ ?

Yes, I am on 266.
Didn't expect to be in T2 for Luton.

Poor from the club.

They've lazily rounded up all tier 2's into one bucket based on the average of 3 games. No special tony algo for this set. Really unfair on those just below 380 (like me !!)

I don't understand why they need to sell 3 games all at the same time as well.

Exactly this, poor all round.

Whilst I'm not disagreeing with you, what would you do?

How many fans would you put in the tier 2 bucket, which is a mad scramble for the leftovers?

Good point.

Spud and Sheffield T1s are effectively the same (302 and 305) so makes sense T2 is the same, but not the same as Luton T2 which has a T1 of 381.

They have soooo many complaints about this system as well ! They keep screwing up on this.

Conspiracy theory from me as well. Barber has been almost silent this season. I have this gut feeling (and you can quote me on this in may) that he is off at the end of this season. Just hope it's not to Arab land.

@Bozza it would be helpful to understand their thinking on this if you are able to get a club view?

What they're effectively saying is that the top tier is nailed on, loyalty scheme works for those super loyal fans, but anywhere between 246 - 380 doesn't matter, they're all the same. That seems more than a little odd.

No doubt there are timescales and admin reasons but I';m struggling to get on board with that really when they could easily do two tiers in a day, and the games are several weeks away.

Therefore have they decided after the first tier it doesn't matter, and therefore theoretically someone on 380 points who has done many more miles than someone on 246 points should have the same chance. I don't think that is how the loyalty point scheme was set up to run personally.

Maybe put a 1000 there. Or at least have it nuanced per game. Lazy to have it the same for all 3.

 

[Giraffe]

ps) it won't matter for Spurs and Sheff Utd but for a low allocation game and likely strong demand for Luton they should have done better.

 

[HangletonGull]

Do we think spurs will get to season ticket holders?

I've asked.

I'll feedback here if/when I hear.

Nor West Ham

I’ve already got West Ham

 

[jackalbion]

Not ideal to do all three at the same time just after Chrsitmas, and do £90 in one go. But it would all have to go out of the same pay day anyway so it is what it is. An expensive month.

 

[Happy Exile]

It did last season but there weren't many left at that point.

 

[Wilka]

Quite a high bar for Sheffield United away first batch. Are we getting a small allocation or something?

THIS!

Surely just make the first 3 Tiers all the same size?
1151 in T2 is still going to be a mad scramble for < 200 tickets, but at least it requires more than a handful of away games. to qualify.

Really?

I haven't been keeping track, but mine looks like it's just missing the Stoke points.
