The loyalty point brackets for this one are not exactly fair, are they?

Don't see a problem

That’s still reasonable for such an occasion I think but fully accept that to some that’s too much. It’s the world’s oldest cup competition and one of the most watched events globally so I expect it to be more. By comparison a ticket to the Ashes is £150 [emoji2369]

Any Six Nations game at Twickenham is the best part of £100 too. I've also paid £125 for tickets to a cricket world cup game in June

In what way ?
Numbers in the top tier will equal the allocation
Anything left over goes to tier two for a scramble and will probably all go
No different to any other high-demand game
Bigger shame is the allocation appears to be small - could have been a lot higher based on the capacity

Not sure if you can gauge if its fair or not without knowing the allocation and how many fit into each tier bracket.
Its certainly a huge spread for 1st tier.

WTF is the allocation?

To add some perspective I’ve been with the family today to see The Lion King, matinee performance. Tickets ranged from £43.75 to £200. I settled for some reasonable tickets in the royal circle @£72.50 each. This is on 9-10 times a week!

Capacity: 2,100.

What is IMO unfair is that the loyalty points scheme is over all competitions. Fair enough premier league but for me the cups should be separate.

I have 360 points. However, the club have a strict algorithm in working out tier 1, 2, 3 etc. I believe it was devised by Tony B himself (but I could be wrong). It's all down to the amount of seats available.

2,100 isn't very much but it's out of our hands.

 

[Sue1983]

Millwall's ST holders can buy 4 tickets before the members get a chance to buy, not sure that's very fair. At least with BHA the ST Holders get 1st dibs (depending on loyalty points) before someone who is not a fan and may not have ever attended a game before gets their hands on a ticket, just because they know someone who is a ST holder.

Give priority to those who went to all of the cup games you mean? I take it you have been to all the games, including Bournemouth and WBA away?

So my ticket stub from Newcastle away in 1983 counts for nowt ? what sort of club is this nowadays bloody ! algorithms my arse .

Yes & no (didn’t do WBA away). If I still fell outside then fair enough but yes. I know at least 4 fans that buy tickets for EVERY away and go to about 50%.... they’re playing the system, which is a flawed one.

That doesn't indicate the system is flawed.

It shows that 4 fans you know are abusing the system and should be called out for it.

I am rueing my decision not to go to the Bournemouth cup game so I will miss out I think but perfectly fair. Also just realised its St Patricks day, dont they have to give us the allocation if we ask for it? I know there have been exceptions due to "safety" with a spat between Arsenal and Manchester United allocations with their cup games.

The fact they can means it’s flawed. There are loads more doing it. I witnessed lots of he/she couldn’t make ticket exchanges at Fulham, the original purchaser would have happily still harvested the ‘loyalty’ points.
I’m not calling people I know out, not my style at all.

We could do that for our home ties up to this point couldn’t we ? Millwall probably only have what, 5k ?? STHs so can do that for this game. If we were at home I reckon the club would have had an ST window for a day or two before opening it further.

X 400 per annum.......

Yea Tony worked out the loyalty points system and its worked out that if everyone in the first tier buys a ticket thats it. Feel for you just missing out on first dibs, I'll just have to hope it goes to the third day.

They are risking it, there were quite a few empty seats at Fulham that may have been the weather but I was expecting the club to do a harvesting check for that game. It obviously costs them to do a check so dont expect them to do every game especially if tickets are still available for a long time.

I don’t believe the club have ever done it. Made a song and dance after the Bournemouth league cup game and not heard a peep since.
