Im not sure, but dont all away games have a time period where they sell tickets at the club shop first? Its simple if you buy a ticket then you get points or if you take your ticket stub in you can get points then from away games.
A simple point system would see the end of that.
Using spurs as an example again
For lesser games - Leeds in the cup you get 5 points
The Sunderlands and Boltons of the world 3
Arsenal, Utd etc 1
Away works in the same sort of way but are slightly more Generous Liverpool for example would be...
That you can still sign up for the memberships today?
That you can go to every single away game and lose out to someone like me that has been to 3 in 2 years?
I think the way spurs do it is pretty spot on....
Season tickets plus
Get tickets
Then season ticket holders can apply
Then Bronze
Then gen sale if any left
If there are more takers than tickets its done on loyalty points picked up from going to games.
Im not complaining, If I get a ticket fair enough.. If not ill go and watch Spurs... Going to Brum vs spurs the week after not sure I fancy two trips to Birmingham in a week anyway!
Im simply pointing out the club seem not to really care about loyal fans when it comes to making a quick buck.
