Praying they make it to Thursday. Last year when we were going well at the time I was pleasantly surprised how slowly they shifted so hopefully with the unsociable KO I’ll just about get or win the scrap for ‘general sale’.
Got mine about half hour ago, chap on the phone said I got the last one for the loyalty window, with the rest going on sale Fri morning 11am for general sale. Whilst I get the idea for holding back the 20% for general, when it’s a pitiful allocation as this is, I think they should abandon the general sale as unfair on those with a 1000 etc

Yes but the flipside of that is Twitter is full of younger people saying it's a "joke" that you need 2200+ to be in the first window and they'll never get that high.
Feel like the general sale window is a decent fist at tackling a difficult situation.

Agree that as a general policy over the season it’s a good idea Clive, I just think for this particular game with only a 1000 tickets it should stay on the loyalty points scale, would imagine they’ll be a lot of disgruntled away regulars, I know there’s two sides and the new blood, yoof etc, but I think this game should be in splendid isolation

This game is the exact sort of match the policy is put in place for though. Only a handful of matches where it's an issue, this and Reading are the two that spring to mind, with no Fulham or Brentford this year. Most other games we don't sell out so it's irrelevant.

I mean I'm in your side of the draw on this, because I've got mates who've been going with me for years who are in that 1000-1300 band and have missed out this time. But I wrote about what a disgrace it was to put Reading on general sale straight away last seaosn and got A LOT of responses, some of which really made me think. Because I've also got mates who used to go home and away ten years ago when the team was winning and getting promoted, and now pick and choose a lot more, but still have the points to go to Fulham every year when it comes around ahead of somebody who's perhaps 17/18/19, has been going to QPR home and away the last few years, but isn't old enough to build the points up. So is it right that my pick and choose mate gets a Fulham and Luton ticket, whereas somebody who's been to Blackburn and Sunderland already this season doesn't?
You can go round and round on it. I personally think they've got it as right as it's possible to do.

Agree, I think if we step above self-interest, the club have this spot-on.
Even for games like Luton, holding back 200 still leaves 800 for higher loyalty point holders, which is about our typical core support for those long trips to the north-west when we're languishing in mid-table.
This initiative, along with Rail Seating and the backing they have given Mick Beale are all to be commended, especially when you consider our monthly losses.

I take your point R block, but just feel that a game like Luton with such a small allocation is deserving of the people with the points on board, agree that Reading is probably the only other game where it’s an issue, but there’s double the tickets available and as we well know, there’s plenty seats in there areas to procure and as last year showed, we”ll sit where we want 😜
On the subject of tickets, a friend of mine wonders that can you get in on someone elses senior season ticket card if youre not a senior, but you are an adult obviously. In other words would it be flagged at the turnstile somehow.

Yes but the kids who are paid to stand vaguely near the turnstile aren’t going to give a toss.

What is it with these young people, can't senior citizens have a pleasant day trip out on the beer without all the immature cocaine consuming crowd bollocking up their geriatric sing songs, huh?
My son has been going for the last 14 years but always had to be booked via my account. He has seen every away game this year plus many others but didn't qualify for points because he was underage. But you get members who qualify giving away their tickets to someone on the different forums and their sad stories. At least this goes someway to addressing that situation.
I dont understand why we havnt been allocated say 2000 ticks?
Anyone know what was our allocation last year?
I have circa 1500 points, was up to my neck in it and missed the ticket drop. working at 11.00am today so unlikely to get a ticket. just rubbish

Same allocation as last year now they have a scruffy group of kids occupying the other half of that stand. Think we used to get the whole thing unless that was just the 3-3 in the cup.

If you ring the Ticket Office they will upgrade the ticket for you and issue one via email. Think it is free as well for 6 times per season (dont qoute me on that)
On flagging at turnstile. There is a light system behind the turnstile that a steward standing inside the ground can see as you walk through. Lights up Amber from memory for a Concession ticket.

This is the type of thing they are trying to address. Where a person, who has accumulated points years ago and has no intention of going helps out a mate, or often a complete stranger from a forum, who has less right to be there than hundreds of others. Points should be given on a five year rolling basis with season ticket holders being given a good start.
