[Albion] Watford away ticket sales, loyalty points and all that jazz

[Official Old Man]

I've not bought a ticket yet, mainly because I am unable to go.
But I was tempted to buy one just to keep my loyalty points up. Anyone else thinking the same?
If down to a few unwanted tickets I may get one knowing I'm not blocking another fan.

Chances of getting two tickets on Friday? I think its looking positive personally.

Leicester sold out yesterday with a 3300 allocation.

Watford has an allocation of 2100 and is a 'close' one, so no I would not think of doing that, you will be blocking a fan going.

High, if you're on at 9.

Yes mine turned up this morning although strangely still waiting for Leicester and the ST box

Even stranger so am I !

I'd forgotten about that. I ****ing hate Watford....not because of that game or that incident but just a shit town with **** all going on.

I hear you. A long and very dull walk from the station to the ground, sod all decent pubs and a town centre that rivals Luton in crapness. Oh, and a rubbish concourse where it's difficult to get served at HT.

I'm curious to see what they've done with the stands on the left hand side though and hearing "Let's hear it for the Golden Boys" never fails to make me giggle.

And for me. If someone is in our seats we just ask them to move on. Only times we wouldn't bother would be if there were clearly large empty areas.

Yes, which is the sensible approach.

Which is why I'm not buying. But If I miss out on the 'big' aways I'll be after you.

One of the positives from the englandfans membership is that you know exactly how many loyalty points all members have.

They allocate 70% of away tickets based on loyalty, so for example for the next away game on sale ( Lithuania away ), 2,802 members applied, only 1,757 tickets available so only allocated to those that applied with 32+ caps (top 1,230 members on loyalty points guaranteed a ticket, remaining 527 allocated via a ballot). Its pretty easy to work out which games you will be guaranteed tickets. I have 53 caps - in the top 429, so as long as we get an allocation above 613 I am guaranteed a ticket. If you are not in the top 70% then you go into a ballot. This was done to allow those with fewer caps opportunities for tickets rather than giving all 100% based on lotalty points.

I would guess the Albion first allocation would be set at a level where all are guaranteed a ticket?? Might be wrong. Guess we will find out when Bournemouth (due to low number of tickets) and then the first big one of Arsenal away where season ticket holders who never travel may be interested!

I would say if you have to buy a ticket to a game you cannot attend to keep your 'loyalty points up', you have not previously been very LOYAL! Gloryhunter!

But if you don't want to miss out on the big aways then you need to go to the Leicester and Watford type games. Isn't that the point of the loyalty scheme?

I'm hoping to get a ticket tomorrow, does anyone know how many are still available?

Sold out in 4 minutes this morning... unless they have more to release?

 

[virtual22]

Sold out...

Just bought mine, said there was 256 left

 

[acoulter143]

Well they all went very quickly. 350 tickets at 9.00 and gone at 9.02. Impressive as there was no queue as well!!

Logged in at 9.01 and there was one left! Guess it was just pot luck as to whether you got through or not!

Yup, I was expecting the queue thing but just went straight in
