Away cup games have been ten points since we moved to the Amex. Home cup games were 20, but reduced to 15 now, whoever the opposition.
The prices of away cup games are decided by the home club in agreement with Brighton.
How does the club know who we'll get in the draw, at the start of the season?
Is it PotG?

Having witnessed the recent goings on, I think many fans might promptly be 'moving' to an address in Perthshire should that be the case.
Why do they need to know at the start of the season? They announce the ticket allocations, prices and points when we know the fixtures. They just need to stop allocating large amounts of points when the tickets are cheap.

...and did Jimmy really not hear the ref?

That makes sense now, but the previous loyalty scheme and this one, had a flat rate of 15 home and 10 away.
Great excuse not to offer cheap cheap tickets anymore.
Luckily we are out that tin pot cup so this can just die down until the F.A Cup game.
No mention of weakened teams , half hearted performances and midfielders playing up top.
Personally I would give all 672 that attended 500 points each. The ones that sacked it off or couldn't make it dodged a bullet

Seeing as I don't have a season ticket and these tickets never made it to general sale I think I'm correct in saying that I would never have been able to buy tickets even if there were some available
I think the best option is to hunt down the no-shows and put their loyalty points to 0 - sure there'll be the odd legit excuse, but they can take that up with the club themselves. Would be bloody hilarious imo!
PS - I don't do many/any aways myself anymore & don't even know how many points I have without looking so couldn't really give a toss about personal gain - just think it would teach the selfish *******s a lesson
While funny - is illegal imo

It's never gonna been seen as fair, and everyone has got their own perception of loyalty. You've got a few options including, Carry on fighting (metophorically speaking) keep applying, hope you get lucky etc or do what I did, gave the idea up, I apply for nothing now, if we're away I take in my local club, home or away (it's never that far) it's a lot cheaper, I've made some great mates and you'll be surprised how quickly yo embrace it an have an affinity (it's not like cheating on the wife, its more like having a good friend that's a bit fit)
My option isn't for everyone, but I feel liberated I don't lose sleep now over bun fights and also It is easier for me as I've been there/done that, I've seen us play at Goodson y'know!
With a little bit of cunning I don't miss out on much, apart from my ST points I've got sod all but I never miss Palace away, I'll probably be at both Manchester's and me and the boy will be at Arsenal next week.
It's only football, if I don't get a ticket the Earth don't stop spinning.

Fair point, well made.
Which law do you think would be broken?

Is there a problem ?
Yes - the club offered cheap tickets with lots of 'loyalty' points and hundreds of people bought them.

Yes it does.
you will then be credited points for the additional matches that you purchase and attend.

And that is also partly where the club have gone wrong After a certain time period they should definitely have gone on general sale and remained on general sale when returns were processed.
As I have said several times, fewer points when tickets are cheap (and few or zero points for hugely popular away games like Chelsea, Arsenal etc... your reward for your loyalty is your tickets, not another step higher up the ladder) - problem solved.
Absolutely the right answer, IMO.
It does, but why wouldn't it be. Those at the top deserve to be there, not the likes of me. If they went to 10-15 aways every season for the last 5, rather than my 3 or 4, and we now have the same appetite for them, they DESERVE to stay ahead of me

I think there should be an Away Tickets Fair.
It would be like a record fair but for tickets.
Dealers and traders with rare tickets could punt them out to those willing to pay.
Held monthly perhaps, at the Amex with Piglets supplying the pies.
