I was practically on somebody's shoulders at both games we were crammed so tight

we left empty seats at both of these games ,and many other games too, as we wanted to stand together , as we had to buy tickets in different points windows ,
think many others do this a lot of the time too ...

Well seeing as we have some selfish fans I thought I would offer MY selfish solution - I demand a change to LP system - I went last night but do not want the points as for me it was a geographic home game (live 10 miles from AFCB) BUT as a "really" loyal ST holder that travels to all home games, I think distance travelled in my situation should be considered in accruing LPs.
Clearly, I am pisshing about but what really is so disappointing in regards the attendance is that the team did not get the full support that it might have had and other supporters missed out.

This. I say take them all away from those who tried to cheat the system, that'll teach a few.
There were many more people involved... several thousand maybe who bought 15 points for a tenner. Perhaps because the club made some money out of that one they feel a bit differently about it?
Exactly and similar at Huddersfield.

Stupid IDIOT
Easiest way to sort this is give everyone who bought tickets and didn't go a week to email the club and confess , then they can have all this seasons points deducted as a punishment/deterrent and if you don't email in then you are banned for the rest of the season from buying any away tickets
Those people didnt stop other people attending though. I'd have gone last night if I could have got a ticket. I didn't even see many being passed on on here.

I live in Mid Devon and I will second your motion
Agreed. But it may have stopped people getting Villa tickets a couple of weeks later.

Good idea. It would certainly stop people abusing the system just because there is a tasty upcoming fixture.

Or send in a doctor's note saying you couldn't attend for medical reasons.
What next, write in to Barber when you miss a home game for whatever reason? Oooo, sorry Paul, couldn't make it to The Amex yesterday, had a bit of an emergency. Sorry about that-promise I will be there next home game.

Did you look on the ticket website at all? There was the buy option for several days last week and this week as well.

I'm sure there were Albion stewards at the away game at Watford recently.
Where the hell is the evidence of this happening? I didn't see a single Bournemouth ticket for sale @£XXX on twitter/here or anywhere yesterday?!
LOVE it, a sort of club supporter Guess Who.
Most others appear to turn a blind eye. Through family/mates of other bigger Prem teams who travel away the points/other away members scheme systems have been in operation for so long that the same 3,000 people get tickets then there are ticket king pins who doll them out via their own personal database at face value. The clubs don't monitor things as all they care about are having 3,000 people there per game.
I know for a FACT this happens with Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs and when they were bigger/more successful Villa.

So you didn't find out when you could get tickets and didn't make sure you were poised to buy them when they went on sale. Then you didn't check for returns or if anyone had a spare, so you didn't get a ticket.
Then instead of just feeling dissappointed and waiting for the next opportunity to buy an away ticket and be better prepared you decided to moan about others who bought tickets.
Try harder next time and if you don't get one never mind there will be other games.

Problem here is that, with away games in big demand, we are creating an elite group of travelling fans. Those who want to go and fall outside this group will never reach the required points as they can't get a ticket anyway.
How about giving more points for league matches that don't sell out (and check usage if needed)
Huddersfield Town away gets 4 x more points than Arsenal.

How many were prevented from going I wonder? And how many are prevented from going for every away match given that the maximum allocation is only 3000?

Hostages. We need hostages for this to really work smoothly.
