So the tickets go on sale today for this fixture and is only open to fans who have attended 4 or more away games this season. What are people's thoughts on the loyalty scheme? I have attended the last two cup matches including being one of the 8000 who sat through the Blackburn game. I used to go to away games but due to work I could not last season. I now have no loyalty points and have not been able to get a ticket this season. Therefore, despite seeing the last two rounds, I cannot go to the Liverpool match. Does the loyalty system need a review? It now comes across as a clique which is hard to become part of. The away numbers swelled as a protest against Cellino with a lot of fans only going away as they have made a decision not to visit Elland road while he is still in charge (wonder how many have relaxed this stance for the Newcastle Grange). Is this fair for those of us who just want to go to as many games as possible. I am not av season ticket holder but if I am not working go to leeds, regardless of who we are playing and in an ideal world regardless of where we are playing.
I have been to 3 away so far, so I miss the cut off but I should get one on general sale for s/t holders. The loyalty system, coupled with having a season ticket is the best way to do things. I have no complaints with it, if you want to guarantee yourself a ticket for the big away days then you have to be prepared to have to go to quite a few away games in a season. You cant really complain about not been able to get a ticket for Liverpool away if you don't have a season ticket in my opinion. There is nothing wrong with the loyalty scheme, its as fair as it can be.
It's as fair as it can be only if you have a season ticket. Some people are not in a position to have one.
I understand that and its frustrating if you cant have one, but its only fair that season ticket holders who attend most away games get first choice.
Is there no way for the club to look at those season ticket holders and see if they attended the Blackburn game? If they didn't then they are just cherry picking the top games which is also unfair surely
but the Blackburn game was a home tie, they are irrelevant. But of course people will cherry pick to some extent. Its the way it has to be, i'd be pretty annoyed if i'd been to a few away games and someone who attended Blackburn at home got a ticket instead of me just because it was the previous round. I'm pretty sure it will be the same at most clubs, whereas if you don't have a season ticket you don't have many benefits.
No way to make everyone happy,in 1990 last time we got promoted,I went 41 games and never got a ticket for Bournemouth away last game,much better now days but not perfect.
