So you couldn't go as much as you wasted due to your work, regardless of that is an office job or any other career? That's pretty hard lines in my eyes. A loyalty scheme is there to reward loyalty.

FWIW I see no issue in someone buying a ticket that can and giving it to you

Nor do I, just don't post it here, it will cause arguments.

Guys we don't need another ticket thread descending into arguments and borderline personal digs.

There's an issue to be debated here but can we keep it respectful and sensoble please.

It's something that can't really be managed by the Club, one of the nuances of the system, doesn't make it right though.....

I only asked because the mates I have asked so far are all going.. If push comes to shove I will get a home end ticket but would rather the wee man was in signing with the hibbys than in the home end.

Yes but thats done under the radar, they wouldn't come on here and blab about it would they because that would cause trouble.

I only see someone asking a question. If the guy gets lucky I am sure it will be done through pm or whatever.

[Scouse Hibee]

No difference to someone getting a cup final ticket for a friend who never goes when a regular walk up can't get one. Happens in every scheme when demand is high, can't believe the strife this question has caused.

[Andy74]

I would also assume some of those who have earned points already also on occasion had someone in a group collect tickets for them. Not really much difference. Others couldn't or don't live in town and pay at the gate. The scheme isn't perfect at rewarding loyalty so let's not get all high and mighty about who has what and what that entities you to.

So you don't want points awarded if the person doesn't pick up their own ticket?? Have I read that right?

That's not what I'm saying. It's more the attitude some are now showing about what the points illustrate. That's not quite the case so some toning down of the language around what type of fans people are and what they deserve would be useful.

Just for example someone who lived close to ER and picked up tickets for away games will have more points than those who went to the same games but paid at the gate.

For this game it's doubled up because no points are available for people down the list.

There are nuances to the scheme that need appreciated. Just banging on about rewarding loyalty isn't helpful.

No Im not here for it so my angle on this one is more just the principle of how it can operate differently for people.

Could always get your ticket posted out in advance and get the points?

As I've said on this and every other loyalty thread, is its a shame we got our 1st League game at such a small ground and a low allocation. Think the scheme at least makes sure that "most" of the fans that go regularly will get a ticket. I'm sure you can't disagree with that?

It makes perfect sense to me however if someone wishes to help someone else out and get them a ticket I don't really see the problem either.

What if someone in second bracket loses out to someone who never goes? Is that fair?

They couldn't have gone anyway though if everyone in the top bracket has already bought up all the tickets during their priority period.

I really can't get too excited about someone legitimately buying a ticket for a match and then selling it on at face value to another fan if they can no longer go to the match.

One of our 3 cant get a ticket because he only bought a half season ticket last year and a full season ticket this year. We only missed 3 away games last season usually paying at the gate. I don't agree with this loyalty points system. There should have been a cut off for all loyalty points levels to buy tickets prior to a general sale. I cant understand what use loyalty points are if you are never going to get to use them. In his case he has 300.

[marinello59]

I still suspect there will be a small number left over for General sale. There certainly will be the next time we play there.

the point is that there should only ever be a general sale after all loyalty points levels have been given a chance to buy.

I don't think that will ever not be the case where a game has limited capacity and/or high demand and I doubt anyone would argue otherwise.

Did I say anything different?

[Carheenlea]

The big lesson I`ve learned over this is that in future I`ll be buying tickets in advance rather than PATG for away games. Looking at the list of allocated points paying at gate on away days has cost me my rights for this game. (As an out of town fan it seemed easier to do so). I`ll be out the country for this anyway, so my shortfall of points means I`m not losing out as such for the Dumbarton fixture, but if I was home I would be feeling pretty disappointed at being a regular away day traveller and long time season holder and not getting a ticket. This won`t present too many problems this season, but I`m a bit concerned now about acquiring Ibrox tickets. Obviously the system now ensures those who support the club by buying seasons and travel to every game are given priority, and quite rightly so.

Can I buy a ticket from the second batch after midnight or is it another 10 o'clock scramble tomorrow morning? Official site only says 10am Thursday morning, nothing about the following days sales.

[monktonharp]

cant for the life of me see why there are so many smug responses to the original post from HFC. why are the numbers restricted so much? how much can the ground hold? should a club that can hardly hold as many as Olivebank stadium, be allowed to play in a championship league? how low can Scottish Proffesional Football go?

Dumbarton have a ground that suits their needs. What's wrong with that and how is that indicative of failings in Scottish football?
