I'm not really - it's more an interest in the practicality of how to implement an equitable loyalty scheme for all from a club perspective.
From a fan perspective, points are "earned", (a better word may be accrued), by individuals.
The club appears to link loyalty points to an account, (ST...
How does the club know who is going to be using the corporate ticket at the beginning of the season? It may be one individual or numerous different people
But if those points can't be used when buying an away ticket and/or can't have the points for the away game added to the tickets total then they are effectively useless. That would put the director in my example who uses one of the 1901 tickets to go to most home games at a serious disadvantage...

If they are credited to...

Some have suggested that points be awarded to whoever is passed an away ticket but ignored the problem of...
