New Website and Loyalty Points (Club announcement, see post #158)

As I see it, 3,000 generally on sale will mean that most or all who want will get. B'muff might be a bit different but not a lot seems to have changed.

Bournemouth on TV on a Friday will kill off demand for tickets

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

Oh, I don't think there's a breach of contract here at all... I'm just offering a different perspective to those who say "serves the rich *******s right", s'all.

I know you don't, my good man. I suspect the people texting you do though!!!

Not from me it won't. I still think the 1200 or whatever will go pretty sharpish.

 

[Goldstone1976]

Sorry, top of page 2. It clearly says A 5 point, B 10 points etc

Here?

"Home League Matches: A Grade: 5 B Grade: 10 C Grade: 15
Away League Matches: 5/10/15*
Home & Away Cup Matches: 5/10/15*
*Points awarded will vary depending on the opposition, date and demand level for the match between 5, 10 and 15. "

Only for Home league games; not away games. I agree with your assumption, but I do think it's an assumption. They could easily have spelt it out for away games in exactly the way they have for home games, yet they chose not to. I wonder why...

Just forgot I would have thought

 

[Goldstone1976]

No. STH have priority. member points will ponly come into it of there are tickets left after all STHs have had the chnace to buy

Sales will go something like this :

Wave one - STH points more than XXX (say 200 as an example)
Wave two (if any left) - STH points more than XXX- (say 150)
Wave three (if any left) - other STHs
Wave four (if any left) - member points (may also be tiered if lots of tickets still available)
Wave five - general sale (no fecking chance for most games)

Exactly this.

 

[dazzer6666]

Exactly this.

Apart from the spelling mistakes

 

[Goldstone1976]

Nah, not buying that. They specifically included this alternative sentence to cover away games (as distinct from home games): "Points awarded will vary depending on the opposition, date and demand level for the match between 5, 10 and 15.".

No-one forgets something and then types a whole new sentence giving them wriggle room without it being deliberate... imo.

 

[Goldstone1976]

I know you don't, my good man. I suspect the people texting you do though!!!

Bugger me, but don't they just. I've resorted to saying "should have gone to more away games, shouldn't you?". I think I might get blackballed.

Thanks all understand.

Two of our party have relatively new season tickets but have been to virtually every away game for some time. In their case they are worse off from this scheme. I guess any change may create these scenarios and I'd argue it's bit harsh on those but in time it should come together.

If they've been to loads of away games they'll probably be ok. Doing most aways over two seasons, plus having an ST for a couple of seasons, will mean more STH points than non-travelling STHs (the vast majority) with a long history.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Ive got 3 million sth points is that any good?

 

[Whitechapel]

I've had a season ticket every year since 2001 apart from 15/16 due to not having a job.

Guess I can eat shit, and miss out on all the good away games.

 

[spongy]

I'll be happy enough to be in the 2nd round for away tickets. Been to lots of away games last 2 seasons but only my second season with a Season Ticket.

You should be fine. Don't forget our allocations will be bigger. We can ask for 3000 seats now rather than 1000-1300 ish

How many STHP do you have?

 

[Turkey]

Well mine is spot on

180 for 6 Amex Season tickets + 114 which was my carry forward from last season after the 50% loss = 294 SH points

13/14
14/15
15/16
16/17
= 150 points

Finished last season on 1228. So 228/2 = 114

So 264?

For some reason I have 261 though, 3 points short!

 

[Whitechapel]

How many STHP do you have?

Not sure, don't have access to a computer currently and it still isn't displaying the figure on mobile for me. It'll probably be around 100, as I did 3 away games and a cup game last season. Maybe I'm overestimating our away support levels, but I think I'll struggle for most games south of Leicester.

I know the system can't work for everyone, but it's just frustrating. Making ST seasons need to be concurrent just seems a bit shitty to me. It punishes people who went to university, or were without a job and had to put feeding their family before football. They're not my reasons FWIW. I lost my job and was upgraded to an adult at the same time and I had to make a decision when I didn't know what my future would be short-term as I didn't want to ask my parents to pay for the first month and then end up needing them to pay for more than that.

It just seems weird that someone that jumped on the bandwagon last season is now ahead of someone who missed last season due to unavoidable circumstances. And with us now having a waiting list, that gap is only going to increase. I might get lucky and sneak my way through, others might not be so lucky.

If at any season end you were on an odd number of points the 50% carry forward is rounded down which is probably were those 3 points went

 

[BHAbright]

Same, ive had a season ticket since withdean but dropped my season ticket for one season only when i went to university in 14/15. Also do several away games per season and have around 100 points

Very hard indeed to disagree with your assessment. One season missed out of the last 15 or so? Yep, that's loyalty.
