It's more the host club (eg Bournemouth) supplying data to the Albion that enables the Albion to identify fans and what they've done.
The Albion have fan data and details of tickets sold to them.
The host club have data of what tickets are used to enter the ground and when.
Each of those...

Get online a little before so you are in the queue that gets created. (Pro tip: multiple browsers and/or multiple devices give you a better chance of getting a good queue position)
Yes, but only because of the 2,000 allocation (not 3,000).
There's only 4 tiers, for season ticket holders at least. This looks like being the largest number of tickets that becomes available to the second tier to date. I'd suggest that if you are Tier 2 and want to get to this game you are...
My unscientific observations of prior day 1 sales are that c75-80% of tickets were sold to the top tier.
We're currently at c45%, which is a significant drop.
If anything you may expect a higher proportion of these tickets to have sold since it's the top 2,000 who are entitled (not top 3,000)...
I guess as long as you are able to do the collection thing at the Amex on the day of a home game, then it's not quite so bad, as you'll only be qualifying for these tickets by being a STH anyway.
To be fair, it's nothing to do with being a 1901 Club wanker, but being a "not going to away games before this season" wanker.
Plenty of 1901 Club wankers, such as Herr Tubthumper, Superphil and Goldstone1976 will be going (or have enough points to make the choice).
Really? That would completely **** over any fan living away from the area.
If only there was some sort of technical solution to allow someone to provide a scan of the evidence. Maybe one day.
