Im sure I read somewhere that we are going to bring in a loyalty scheme like the yams. Anyone idea how they allocate the points? i.e more for big games etc? surely it makes sense to have the big games have LOWER loyalty points because most people make more of an effort to go along to them, where as the smaller games we dont get bigger crowds. If there was more points for smaller games it would surely entice the fans along to those games??

Loyalty Scheme

Not sure how it works in the SPL but my mates a Season ticket holder and away member of Spurs (god help him), but what they do is,
The worse game is more points.
So for Hibs may be, Inverness away would be 5 points, where as Hearts, Celtic and Rangers would only be 1.
But when it picks up, you may need like 200 points to get a ticket for Hearts, where as for Inverness you may only need 50 loyalty points.
Make sense?

Plus it would add a new dimension to the uberfan debate...

I am on the management committee of a (non-football) society and we are just discussing at this very moment the possibility of bringing in a loyalty scheme where regular contributors even of a low amount will in the end get more points than someone who jumps on board near the end waving a big cheque in the air. I think if properly thought out in the first place, properly managed and properly promoted a loyalty scheme would benefit Hibs in a big way. It would also even out the playing field for some of the support base, as per my example above. So if you make the long walk in the pishing rain from Perth railway station to watch an away match against St. Johnstone, like a previous poster said, that might earn you say 5 points but if you turn up at ER for a derby match or something like that then you might only earn 1 point. I am sure that Rodders will be able to fire up Excel on his home PC and using the attendance data for past matches, work out a suitable points allocation for the different types of match.
P.S. Should get an extra point for going to Killie as it always seems to be bloody freezing there :D

The club may also be careful in rewarding away match attendence over home matches given they don't receive any of the financial gain coming from increased away attendence. Would be fair if they did give big points to away games but I'd imagine they'd want to have at least as much value in fans going to home matches.

Don't see the point IMO.
Probably about 10 games in 10 years where everybody who wanted one didn't get a ticket. I include UEFA cup games against Dnipro.

Points are accumulated over a 2 year period
20 points for season ticket
non ST holders 1 point for each home game where you buy a ticket
1 point for using the official bus for away games
points for away have varied 7 points for Euro away ties also for lunchtime kick off versus aberdeen and invernes. 5 for normal kick off games against them
generally 2 points for Eater Road Dunfermline etc
Basically the less attracive the game the moe points awarded
this has become harder to manage with so few away games all ticket but when they were loyalty points were rewarding those that went to all games
you have to make sure when you buy tickets for family etc they all get put on individual account or they do not get rewarded
Spurs away was chaotic as was over 100 points I think thankfully me and son had enough but friend had 90 odd so was case waiting for second batch
Generally it is a good idea managed properly and sholud the unthinkable happen and you win final and qualify for Europe there may be limited tickets available and a loyalty scheme would be ideal.

Certainly think it should be introduced. It would help sort out these rare sell out games but as mentioned previously, could be used to offer small rewards to the most loyal. Bring a friend for free, clubshop vouchers, discount on hospitality. Win win?

Many of the jokers who have been moaning the loudest about missing out on tickets would not benefit from a loyalty scheme either.

Here is a good loyalty scheme:
The more money you spend, the better the playing squad for next year.
It rewards the loyal fans, and they pay only what they can contribute.
