Swansea

[Herr Tubthumper]

Tickets supposed to go on sale next Tuesday, when do they typically announce the loyalty points tiers?

 

[Mr H]

They are leaving it late for this one. The LP tiers for West Ham tickets were announced 7 days before they went on sale.

 

[spoonie]

that was unusual for west ham - its Normally Friday

 

[Wilko]

Should be fairly easy to pick a ticket up for this one

Points are now showing on the website:

301+ Points: On Sale Tue 3 October,
242+ Points: On Sale Wed 4 October,
198+ Points: On Sale Fri 6 October,
All STHs: On Sale Tue 10 October

and a whopping 15 points available for anyone who gets a ticket! Chances therefore of anyone not in the top 2 tiers getting a ticket? 0

That's high for tier 1 isn't it?

I've got 301 exactly today, plus 5 (is it?) for Sunday so only just scrape over the line, whereas I think I've been well in front of it before, even for Watford which was another small allocation.

The closed shop is now fully secure.

 

[Bozza]

Anyone got a game by game record of the points per tier to save me having to go and find it?

There should be a healthy secondary market selling tickets bought by Loyalty Point harvesters.

Annoyingly Tier 2 keeps moving just out of reach for me whereas the points for Tier 3 have stayed the same for the past few games (I think).

 

[Alba Badger]

Oh Well, looks like my 161 will not be enough. Shame I did about 11 away trips last season, will be lucky to make as many as 4 this season the way things are going.

I guess that makes sense as few, if any, Tier 3s will have had a chance to buy tickets for games to date.

You'd think that after Bournemouth they'd have something in place to stop that by now.

This is why the system needs a massive overhaul.

It encourages top tier to buy every game and then to sell on to randoms if they don't go, after harvesting the points.

Any concept of 'loyalty' is dead. The points should be renamed 'harvest points'.

Sure is high. We are a few short and have already bought our rail tickets.

If I don't get a ticket I might be relying on that.

 

[Simontheseagull]

Can anyone explain why more loyalty points are being awarded for the Swansea away match than the Arsenal away match? Fewer tickets are available for Swansea, so the demand for tickets is obviously higher than for the Arsenal match for people with a high number of loyalty points. Seems like the club is just enouraging harvesting and has not learnt any lessons from past debacles.

 

[Bozza]

So, Watford was 2,150 tickets, first tier at 248 >>> https://www.brightonandhovealbion.c...ord-vs-brighton-and-hove-albion-on-26-aug-17/

Bournemouth (league) was 1,300 tickets, first tier at 281 >>> https://www.brightonandhovealbion.com/news/2017/august/bournemouth-tickets-on-sale-tomorrow/

The latter, in particular, does make 301 look high.

Off the top off my head typically each game the points required rises by 2/3 per match per tier.

I'm in tier 2 and from Arsenal to Westham to Swansea it's gone 237 - 239 - 242
