[Albion] Luton/Spurs/Sheff Utd away tickets
- Thread starter Beach Hut
- Start date
Had there been a narrower Tier 2 band for Luton then there would be less scope for fans to move from 'lower' Tier 2 to 'upper' Tier 2 and make it a little bit more of a closed shop. I am on over 400 points so it doesn't effect me now but a few years back I went up from Tier2/3 borderline to Tier 1 so it was certainly possible, although I seem to remember most of the northern games being 15 points which they don't all seem to be now.
As an aside I like that Luton have a block where you have to sit down. So long as it is advertised ahead I think it is great for people like me with a dodgy hip.

I was wondering as i am on 215 points, waiting for my 15 stoke points. Assuming that spurs sells out tomorrow to 219+. Will i be able to but resales on the website closer to the game? And is there any chance of this reaching friday? Thanks

Yes, that’s how it works. Still can only buy one ticket.

How many Sheffield Utd tickets left ? I can’t be bothered to wade through all the moaning that the club hasn’t created a system that pleases absolutely everybody.Any that are groaning should go to Sheff Utd instead and get the 15 points
If we have to wade through it - so can bloody you!
I posted a screenshot a few pages back. Quite a lot and, if @Dave the hatosaurus is right, and he generally is when it comes to tickets, there's scope for a further block to be released.

Does the 1901 member still get the loyalty points?

I'm thinking that you might well be able to as your stoke points will have been added by then and your new total might then qualify (unless the system is super accurate/detailed and it records what tier you were in when the tickets originally went on sale). You might have to try it and report back on here if it worked, as I doubt many have been in this position before to let us all know.

Yes, do think this is a really dodgy loophole that the club are stuck between a rock and a hard place to solve. I get that 1901 tickets are not always used by the same person. But I've had plenty of times where people have snuck in on the back way through this system at places like Brentford. Its because 1901 tickets are used by a company on occasion. I think away tickets should be restricted to a single name every season for 1901, but can see why they don't as they have to please the corporate customers who bring in a lot of money.
This is the unfair anomaly that the club should be seeking to change when the 1901s come up for renewal. Individuals should accumulate loyalty points, not a ticket.

I wondered this but for more mundane reasons. My son has a mate who uses a 1901 company ticket so on a couple of occasions my son has asked me to buy him tickets away so we can all sit together etc
But instead of assigning the ticket to the name of his friend, you have to assign it to the company name. I'm baffled how he works out what his personal loyalty points total is? Maybe he doesn't have one, maybe he doesn't even have a personal Albion account in his own name, dunno

Don't see the problem myself.
A lot depends on how you define loyalty. IMO it's a combination of financial and period of time. The club don't benefit financially from those going to away games and the players on the field have no way of differentiating between one fan who has been to every awAy game or just one.
On a financial basis companies or individuals buying 1901 tickets should have more LPs assigned to the ticket than an old codger like me sat in the stands paying a reduced price.
Of course the points we are talking about aren't really 'loyalty' points but rather 'reward' points. It makes little difference to the club who buys tickets, home or away, so long as they are sold.

Well the 1901 has worked for me and I’m not apologetic over it, even tho I’m a season ticket holder on just shy of 100 points (but did ask my mate for luton was told to F off 
)
)
