By narrowing the second tier it appears the club have done a pretty good job of guaranteeing that anyone in it gets a ticket in a similar way to the first tier.
Imagine, using this game as an example, that there were say 3000 in T1, the club expected 2500 to buy tickets so then set a 500...
The random allocation is precisely to stop people logging on to get in the queue earlier.......otherwise where would you draw the line ? Log on a week before ?
Still over 500 left now so I would think so................numbers kind of make sense as this means maybe 4-500 out of 3,000 in T1 deciding not to go (assuming no flood of sales tonight as people get home from work)
Can't be huge numbers in T2 either with such a narrow points band. Good luck if...
What they are doing is tiering in the way they see fairest - ie the higher points you have, the more chance you have of getting a ticket. What you're looking for is a more random chance open to more people in a wider T2 - which I guess those just below T1 threshold would say is pretty unfair...
They're not reducing the number going, just second-guessing how many will be available after T1 and tailoring T2 more or less to that expected number (hopefully meaning most or all of those in T2 that want a ticket can get one, as happened with Swansea) and as you say reduce the queue. My guess...
This. Also the calculations of the Tiers are becoming more refined as the club learns................there is only a 19 point range for Tier 2 (and even less at 8 points for tier 3 so won't be many fighting for these if there are any left at that point), so I'd expect most in T2 that want a...
Looks that way. The block in front of the away blocks looks like it should also be for away fans but it isn't........only been there once and didn't take much notice
