Or don't you think that removing ST holders right to a chance of away tickets is not without problems?Last edited by marinello59; 10-01-2018 at 04:42 PM.

I voted for a loyalty points (changed) system but would also support an amended AST system that lets you cancel tickets you do not need. I'd put a limit on the number of games you can cancel in a season (say maximum of 3 or 4) to discourage fans joining who are only looking for category A game away tickets.
An attendance or game points system would be for attending games only.

Also, by stopping awarding points for these games there's less chance of someone who cant make the game buying a ticket for the points and giving the ticket to a mate or family member who's got little or no points.

Problem with a ballot is what if a kid and parent are split up, or say the kid gets drawn from the ballot but the parent not. I dunno if that would be an easy fix or not but loyalty points are the fairest way and were previously.

The obvious way is one that will never happen - loyalty points.
I go every single week so as long as the away season ticket is retained I'm not overly fussed what happens with the remaining tickets.
Everybody will, selfishly, see it from their own point of view and in a way that suits them. For me, I just think that it's only fair that those who attend every week retain some form of priority.

Nothing wrong with our away game ticketing arrangements. We sell on behalf of the away club from our database not on our own.
You can pay up to join the ASTH scheme the current system works. Every one has an equal chance, no-one is too special not to enter the general sale other than.on an equal standing.
If you havent got a ticket that is just tough there are not enough available so pick up your dummies and gather up your toys and put them back in the pram and go watch the game on the telly.
Incoming!👿Last edited by hibbyfraelibby; 10-01-2018 at 06:28 PM.

Fit every seat with some form of Clapometer. You gets points every time you cheer and deducted if you boo. Extra points deducted if you boo Lewis.

This is a common misconception, there is no (upfront) cost to join the AST scheme, the money for your ticket is debited from your bank account roughly 48hrs before they go on sale, you are however obliged to purchase a ticket for every league and cup match where tickets are sold in advance! No exceptions.
That last part. Deliberate baiting.

No one will have the opportunity for a ticket to all away games removed and you know that.
Other than three league venues, tickets will always result in open sale. You know that too.
Call your response as 'the playing of devils advocate' all you like. Its stirring to me, as I suggested a while back.

From the other side though, what about the 80 year old that’s been going to ER since he was a kid who now fancies going to Tynie as a one off? A loyalty points system means he’s got no chance. Fair?
All I’m saying, along with some others, is that there are two very different, but equally valid, ways of looking at it.

This is to enhance the ticketing system. Simply reintroduce points scheme for attendance at home/away matches for tickets pre purchased form Easter Road Ticket Office or on the Ticketing System (call centre or online). No points for tickets bought from pods or on the gate at away games.Would also have no issue keeping the away season tickets (I don't have one!) and for these people the points would be awarded automatically. Forget points for other things (HSL, etc), this is about attendance at matches and in return being rewarded with points that will put you in an order that means when the scares tickets go on sale your in an order.

Some may not accept this but modelling a new loyalty points system on the one used by the Yams would actually be desirable!!

I've mentioned this many times Billy. It works for them no bother and they have an away support about on par with us.
