[Albion] Season ticket no shows - loyalty points deduction

[atfc village]

No ,pays your money it's their choice.

What an objectionable and arrogant thread. I wouldn’t miss a game unless there was a cause that prevented me from doing so and such a cause being for me to decide and absolutely no affair of anyone else. If any of the regulars sitting near me didn’t turn up to a game, I’d be more concerned about their welfare than spitting feathers about them getting a deduction of loyalty points. The club have had the money and reflect same in their attendance figures. What next, getting the equivalent of a parents note to teacher to explain absence? Truly pathetic.

I agree.

Deleting my rant though. Enough said.

There is a seat in the row in front of us which has been empty for the last 2 seasons, and this year only filled for the Liverpool and Man City games. Someone with more money than sense. But as things stand, they accrue the same ST loyalty points as the rest of us foot soldiers. Is this not worthy of debate on here?

Do you know for a fact that seat is used by a season ticket holder?

You can just image a ST holder is admitted to ICU at the Royal Sussex on the Friday before a game the following day, the medical team spend many hours successfully saving the ST holders life. While still having lots of tubes attached to his body a well as being connected to the machine that goes ping, the ST holder vaguely comes around mid morning and immediately discharges themselves from the hospital, going against all the medical advice. With all the breathe they can muster they whisper that they must get to the Amex for the game this afternoon, otherwise they will have loyalty points deducted for not attending, and the only permitted excuse for not attending any home game is death.

You have been warned

We have a season ticket waiting list, so demand is exceeding supply. If there are s/t holders who are routinely missing games, (I don't know this to be the case) but are keeping their season ticket to make sure they have access to the big 6 games, then yes, I agree, they should be deducted loyalty points. I don't particularly see a lot of distinction between missing this game and the Bournemouth away cup game, in terms of whether loyalty points should be allocated for attending it

If I made the rules. It would go something like ... missing 0-1 games a season, no penalty, 2-4 games, pro rata loyalty point deduction, 5+ games, season ticket revoked. Harsh yes, but it's also harsh that fans who want a season ticket can't get one.

So if you made the rules wouldn't you also have every match at 3pm on a Saturday afternoon. Seems to me it only our new fans doing the most moaning maybe if they supported us when we were fighting relegation three years ago they might not be on the waiting list now.

No.

That is a bit of a Nazi suggestion, if you don't mind my saying.

Time you tried thinking a little about the point of view of other folk, perhaps. It may come as a surprise but not every Englishman and women shares exactly your life experience, lifestyle and circumstances.

WTF are you on a about ? Nazi ?? I find that highly offensive and out of order !

Yes.

 

[BN9 BHA]

Yes.

Ok thanks.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Yes.

And you know for a fact that the season ticket holder isn’t in the ground ? If so, how do you know ?

 

[West Upper Seagull]

Should season ticket holders, who don’t turn up to home games, have a loyalty points deduction?

This comes across as the view of someone who struggles to get away tickets due to having Insufficient loyalty points and is desperately looking for a ‘leveller’ !

My nephew didn’t go to the Watford game. Does he have to get a sick note from his Consultant?

Not forgetting that the nurses who work at the Sussex County are also season ticket holders, but have to miss matches, when their shifts happen to coincide with a game.
Or other emergency workers, or aren't they allowed to be season ticket holders because they might miss some matches?

 

[Nixonator]

Usual outrage and diatribe, with just about every excuse under the sun called upon to rebuke a suggestion where similar already happens at other clubs.

As someone has already said, ST holders who repeatedly miss games are ALREADY written to, and if demand for season tickets continues at current rate it won't be long before some slightly harsher measures are taken.

I would assume the op is trying to weed out these repeat offenders, not lambast you for missing a couple of games due to illness<insert perfectly valid alternative>... but who doesn't love a bit of pompous outrage.

The rate we are winning/losing points in the actual game of football, it won't be a problem next season.

 

[darkwolf666]

I like the idea of what Bayern Munich do after people were buying season tickets just to see the big games. If ST holders miss a certain number of games their ST is cancelled and it allows the next person on the waiting list to buy it.

Bayern Munich expect ST holders to miss no more than 8 home games, out of 17 - so nearly half their home fixtures.

 

[portlock seagull]

The idiots who start these sorts of threads only see life through their myopic eyes. Imagine this scenario if they got their way.
Ring ring, ring ring...“Hello, Browns residence”
Club “why did Mr Brown not turn up on Sat”?
Mrs Brown “my husband died on Sat morning...(starts sobbing)”
Club “oh, er, um...does that mean he might miss tomorrow nights match too? We’ll have to deduct some points if so...”

I still can’t believe people are putting BM in same sentence with Albion! Even for hypothetical comparative purposes!

I’ve missed a lot of home games inc today and even an away match this season. Mostly due to Club agreeing to Sky’s terms (no, it’s not Sky who are at fault - it’s the PL who do deals and the clubs control the PL) but also illness and even a flat battery. Don’t recall club moaning or anyone policing when I had a ST for 2 years at Gillingham and 11 at Withdean...or is this an idea from those who followed the Albion since we got the nice shiney new stadium and played in top 2 divisions I.e. people who aren’t fit for many of us to piss on let alone tell us how to follow our club?
