Reading this forum, I may sound naive, but I didn't think Albion fans would buy tickets, and then not attend a match just to allocate points for later?

"Spoke to a Brighton Fan yesterday. Some of their fans are buying tickets to ensure they get tickets later in the season and have no intention of travelling up.

i.e. they have a points system and they want to ensure they can get a ticket for the promotion party at Norwich / Villa at the end of the season.

Not sure how many people can afford to waste money like that but thought it was interesting!"

There was a thread on here about it. Certainly a fair few doing that.

Well it's actually true. I doubt many will do it and it's quite clearly being blown out of proportion, but you can assign a £5 ticket to your name and get 10 points. Don't exactly need to have deep pockets for that.

The tickets are only £10 and £5, so it wouldn't surprise me.

I can see why some people do it, but call me old fashioned, I thought the point of buying a ticket was to see their club play footy, no matter what!

Yep. Some were talking about doing it on NSC.

Even if the tickets were only 50p I wouldn't, but each to their own.

You'd have to be pretty desperate for points or on the usual 1150 threshold to go down this route I'd imagine, especially as probably only QPR going to be a real issue..

I agree which is why i'll be there

Like I said though, few will do it but it will be blown out of proportion.

If it's widespread I expect the club may say points for Huddersfield are void in this case

Seems a bit odd just for 10 points. Each to their own I guess

Marketing opportunity being missed here!

We should sell a 10 pack of points for £10!

I'd the tickets need to be scanned to get on they could check. I really doubt they are that bothered by a small minority tho.

Is it likely to be pay on the gate? I'm at uni here and my mates wanna go in the away end, would be easier if they can pay on the gate.

Really? So you think there won't be a rush for tickets for Norwich and Villa away if it looks like we could need a win there for promotion?

Very naive IMO

Not naive, I would guess that people having been to a fair proportion of 'standard' aways during the year will have no problems getting tickets.

I'll be surprised if it isn't. The away end is huge even when they've given some of the tickets to the Hudds fans with a drum on the right hand side.

Pointless doing it, as if widespread the club will just increase the threshold for the 1st round opportunity to buy the away ticket at QPR or wherever, so that 1150 becomes 1160 or even 1170.
