Sunderland Away Ticket Info

Sexpom said:
The season ticket gives you a heavily discounted ticket to every home game including loyalty points, you then top this up by attending away games. I don’t think to devalues the season ticket whatsoever. If you wish to attend games like Sunderland away then supporters should attend more away games and boost their points, it’s fair enough.

You're wasting your time mate. He whinges every time theres a big game. How on earth someone can't grasp that a season ticket holder who go's to more away games than others, should have priority is absolutely baffling!

Well you could not have one and pay over £30 every home game it’s up to you.

Correct and that’s my prerogative but that’s not what we’re discussing here is it? We’re discussing the benefits of a season ticket and how it has been devalued by the priority points system. The discount on match by match was always a benefit, and still is. The benefit of guaranteeing you a shot at buying ticket is no longer a benefit.

Well you know what you need to do, go to more away games, why should you get a ticket over a more loyal fan?

Fans that travel the length of the country watching Boro might have time and money but it will only be because of major sacrifices. Please do not dismiss those fans as somehow less worthy

They're not less worthy - they're just not more worthy than those who can't afford the time or the money to go to every away match (or "perhaps" those that buy tickets for their mates and harvest the priority points )

Something needs to be done to address the unobtainable benefits of the Gold Card, as it unfairly favours fans above a certain age, and there's no way of ever catching up with them.

Bar that, I think the Priority Points scheme is fine.

I totally agree with this.

There's fans out there that have been season ticket holders for 20 years and aren't classed as 'gold'. And the 'gold' status is currently a closed shop, so them starting on 160 points compared to 150 or 140 is harsh.

I do agree with the starting points of 140/150/160 depending on how long you've had your season ticket, but the 'gold card' and the 'chairmans drink' level does need to be an open shop.

Other than that, the loyalty scheme is as fair as possibly can be.

A free for all between over 10k season tickets wouldn't be fair on any level.
 
I think priority points system create a closed shop for games like this. Think it’s unfair on some fans but probably the fairest thing

I’m not surprised you’re baffled if you’re just going to ignore the points that have been raised.

Because away games don’t really count for the club. Their finances aren’t based on fans good weekend in preston etc it’s The regular income ST holders that are the bedrock.

I’m don’t understand what you are referencing? It’s about a fair playing field for our fans to but sought after away tickets
 
I'm curious to know how many people with 220+ actually attended all these matches.

Go on Twitter in the build-up to any away game and you will see the same people offering multiple concession tickets at face value, as people have "dropped out".

A cheap and easy way for these people to build-up points, which is exactly what many of us predicted people would do as it happens at every other club with a points scheme.

Agree.

But no loyalty scheme out there (that I am aware of) is flawless.

Every single type of priority points loyalty scheme can be manipulated.

However, a loyalty scheme has to be put in place.

It's much much fairer than just a free for all between tens of thousands of fans.

We all know how it works, so we all know how to boost our priority points.

It's very simple, if you want to have a very good chance of gaining a ticket to a high demand away game with very little allocation....then go to more away games.

What’s not to understand? All season ticket holders put the same amount of money into the club. Revenue from away ticket sales doesn’t go to the club.

That’s what I know happens at sunlun for instance.

Yes but to support the clubs fans a loyalty points system is the fairest way. Loyalty should be rewarded and not have some mad free for all.

The club should support fans that buy season tickets. By utilising a priority points system they’re choosing to prioritise one set of season ticket holders over another.
Also why is it a free for all of it was season ticket holders but not a free for all within each priority points banding?
