Nearly ****ed this up, both for myself and Goldstone1976.
I was buying our tickets yesterday but it seems in the excitement of Deadline Day, I did not complete my transaction. I only discovered that this morning when he asked me if I wanted paying now.
I was then unable to get 2 tickets...
But the Barnet ticket selling info stated that attendance was required for points. To then ignore that and issue points to all ticket purchasers regardless of attendance would be poor form.
(Note: I'm not stating that did happen, but some are suggesting it did)
If the club couldn't be bothered with the Barnet game at the Amex (can anyone definitively say?) then they're not showing any concern in trying to police the system at all.
If the Albion gave 15 points to Barnet non-attendees, which some are suggesting they did, then there's no way they'll be verifying physical attendance at Bournemouth itself.
Will we?
A fair few people there a few days earlier and this cup is poorly regarded and supported by most.
Picking up loyalty points might be the only incentive for some to buy, so maybe there are none allocated give the club won't be able to apply a "ticket no scanned in, no points" rule.
