Just make any cup away games a free for all for STH and members, no points needed or given. Solved at a stroke.

[Albion] Club will be writing to those who purchased a ticket for Bournemouth [but didn't go]

Both by my professional understanding and from reading around the subject tonight, I still believe Bournemouth have released PII to a third party with no consent.
ICO definition of personal data (bold emphasis my own):
Personal data means data which relate to a living individual who can be identified –
(a) from those data, or
(b) from those data and other information which is in the possession of, or is likely to come into the possession of, the data controller,
and includes any expression of opinion about the individual and any indication of the intentions of the data controller or any other person in respect of the individual.
It is important to note that, where the ability to identify an individual depends partly on the data held and partly on other information (not necessarily data), the data held will still be “personal data”.

Just read the whole thread and this must be the dumbest post. We have 23,000 STHs and we only get 3,000 away tickets at most. So please explain why someone who has only bought a season ticket this year and hasn't been to any away games over the last seven years should have the same right to a ticket for the Arsenal game as those of us who have held a season ticket for the entire Amex period and has been to numerous away games each year?
There is nothing inherently wrong with the system, just the amount of points that were given to the cup game.
Er Bozza old chap, the inference in the article is to potentially ban people from future away games IF they pass their ticket along, AND during a potential ID check the original purchaser did not use said ticket. IF the original purchaser chooses not to go and their ticket goes unused then surely no risk of a future ban?
My only bug bear on this whole issue is that the club HAS to make it easy for any unused tickets to be returnable for sale up to maybe 24 hours before an away fixture as a result of a change in circumstances and also with none of this club credit BS. In this day and age with POS technology being enhanced almost weekly it should not be beyond the whit of Premier League teams to offer a universal return service in the same way all other major retailers do.
Dare I say it you should even be able to log on and change the assigned owner yourself to another individual on your friends and family provided they meet the required points criteria.

Perhaps the current scheme should be replaced after the Bournemouth shambles ?

So your opinion is always right? My god, what an arrogant woman you are.

It was a shambles.
Fans who wanted to go stopped by point harvesters taking the available seats and then not showing up.
Utter, utter shambles.

Bozza - do you know when the club will be sending a letter to all fans critical of the current loyalty scheme to tell them if they refuse to support the clubs' stance, they will be deducted loyalty points and banned from purchasing away tickets?
Small man syndrome.

Yeah right oh. I had the foresight to see my dad passing away the day before derby away in 2015. I suppose the next morning football was the first thing on my mind, not my family. Glad you live in such a perfect world where shit dont happen to you. Knobhead.

Now to be replaced by fans with the most loyalty points attending matches they would otherwise not go to just so that they can go to matches they do want to go to. Still won't help fans with fewer loyalty points.

No mention of the Barnet non attendees? Why? There were thousands of these? What's the difference? If anything it's worse because these people were likely to be no where near the most loyal fans. Are they getting a letter too?
What about anyone that didn't go to a match earlier in the season? There were three empty seats near us at Watford. Will they get a letter? Where will it all end?
All very odd. Very odd.

All the club had to do was announce their future intentions and admit that they had a part to play in what happened. Everybody is then well aware of the new rules and we can get on with supporting The Albion. This potential legal minefield they have ventured into could bite them quite severely. All unnecessary.

Or even when we were shit when Hyypia was around but suddenly as the loyalty system really does kick in as nice new good grounds to go to a lot of moaners.....

If you say so. My opinion is that the club is right on this situation. If tha makes me arrogant, then so be it.

Barnet didn't sell out is the difference. So no one was prevented from going by a harvester.

A lot of people are disgruntled because they could accumalate loyalty points very quickly under the previous system. The previous system was wrong. Why should someone who held a season ticket for 1 year get the same 1k pts as someone who held it for 5 years.
Where i sympathise is the previous system was in place far too long. It also arguably mis led those who thought they would be in at least t2 for aways then suddenly found themselves in t4.
