    There's about 800+ fans on maximum points.

    The second break down is a joke,

    I am on 340 points and may struggle to get a ticket.

    An away game is worth only 5 points yet we stagger the sales over 100 points. Farce
    It's hardly a farce. They have to let season ticket holders get a chance at getting a ticket which is what they have done. No loyalty scheme can guarantee people tickets.

    You should have got a season ticket last year

    The upper possible limit of fans on maximum points is equal to the smallest away allocation we have recieved. So the number of fans on maximum points cannot exceed the away allocation at Dumbarton. Considering that went to general sale, I'd be very surprised if your 800+ is anywhere close to being correct.

    I'd have had the first wave at 360 or so to allow 3,400 tickets and maybe had the second wave a bit higher (even though I'd lose out) but let's face it. The club can't and indeed shouldn't have to keep everyone happy.

    I went to every game home and away last year.

    I think I'll be ok because the price and fact it's on tv.

    Well I think it would have been fairer if they phoned me up and asked how many tickets I required then opened up to a general sale.

    I reckon Hibs, with access to historical sales data for everyone on the database and plus a record of how tickets have sold for similar fixtures in the past are better placed to make decisions on points limits than us.

    How many times have tickets sold out before reaching the last priority group or general sale?

    365 points. I'm going to have to stop buying cup tickets at the pods

    I would like to be at this one, but I'm far from being a regular away supporter so I've got no problem if folk beating the spread through away points ( which will be the vast majority ) have first dibs.

    If the HSL points had applied to this one I wouldn't be nearly so philosophical

    I'm in the first wave so I'll be okay, got a few mates who travel away when they can though will miss out on the first wave by five or ten points and I think it's a bit unfair lumping them in the same wave as folk that don't bother going to away games. Should've been staggered more.

    I rarely go to away matches and am just under the points cut off for phase 1. You've got to put the line somewhere though and there will always be someone just under it.

    I think this is fair

    I am very close to the 391 mark - just below so obviously a big gutted can't get a ticket in 1st wave but I can't complain if others have more points than me.

    It's quite a big jump down to 180 points but again I know those who are going to Tynecastle will be the die hards.

    I'm starting to find this whole system tedious. I've got enough points, but I might just sit this one out. That will leave another ticket for the 2nd phase.

    No. I'm fed up trying to sort tickets out for everyone who are on different points. I preferred the old system, never missed a game I wanted to be at under that system.

    I see, so you're the purchaser for a group or similar?. It sounds like you personally won't miss a game you want to be at under this new system either, hence my confusion.

    I can understand that to a degree.

    Is there any way the system could allow groups to sit together?

    Do kids season tickets get the same amount of points as Adults?

    If not the system would favour adults and exclude younger ones attending certain games (future support?).

    Everyone gets the same amount of points regardless of ticket type etc

    I know where you are coming from. I organise all tickets for our group for away games etc. This time only one will miss out in the first wave but that's their problem for missing games they could have got the points for.

    The way SSC work ticketing which has its own problems but one good thing about it is you don't get allocated a seat right away from when you purchase a ticket which means as long as you purchase the tickets with the same card they will place your party together or as close as they can regardless of what wave of points you purchase your tickets on. something i think Hibs should maybe look into.

    No no, me neither. I just meant on a pure "access to tickets" basis, this new system isn't preventing you from attending.

    Under the old system, there's every chance that a relatively regular attendee may have missed out because your 2 games a season mate Jimmy (or whatever) got a ticket for a high demand game through you so it's slightly swings and roundabouts.

    I lost out massively with the implementation of this loyalty system, or rather the timing of it considering just a few years ago I'd have benefited massively, but then again I haven't gone to a game in over a year so no complaints from me.

    Its probably an impossibility to find a "fair" system to satisfy everyone. I think the Club is trying its best to be fair but there will always be winners and losers. Just imagine how difficult it must be for fans of clubs like United or even Celtic to get tickets for even the most "ordinary" of away fixtures. 70,000 odd home fans, 60,000 plus season ticket holders, 3000 way tickets every week. That must be pretty frustrating.

    A beer and the box for me this one, would love to have been there but heyho

    The problem i have is a guy who takes 2 kids to home games as st holders is now below people who only buy one st but go to away games. The system isnt serving the purpose it was designed for imo which was to fill the gap for walk up fans. All my opinion of course
