350 points for the first window. I have 300 odd tickets falling JUST short.

So frustrating.

Only 991 tickets available.

991? Tinpot.

How do we only get 991 out of a 21k capacity stadium?

Apparently I only have 45 loyalty points so that's me fucked. Seeming the 6 game card only grants loyalty points when you actually book the match tickets, not for paying for the card.

Unbelievable. Surely we have to be given a certain %?

City fan at work reckons the away end is being redeveloped, hence the low allocation. Still a bit shit mind.

Well, it's not a 21,000 capacity. At the moment I think 13,000 is the capacity due to redevelopment.

Pics of the new look Gate are impressive

Their away end is being redeveloped? News to me.

The Wedlock stand was demolished, the new stand is in the process of being built.

Does that qualify as a divorce?

They haven't got an away end. We're in the same stand as their fans - hence the extra segregation

It was sarcasm. It's hard to portray that online.

BBC Points West have never shut up about the redevelopment or the Shed End shit.

Depressing isnt it, the new stadium will look rather good

They knocked the east end down in close season then stripped the Dolman enclosure around Xmas time

I thought the east end held about 5-6k, which in theory reduces the capacity to 15k? The attyeo holds about 4k, how much segregation do they need?
Perhaps rich can give us a bit more in depth info  :)

Not sure how much the Dolman enclosure holds but doubt will be enough to make the figures add up

I think the need for extra segregation is pretty clear. Our club has a long standing association with jumping and waving, sometimes at the same time. All hell could break lose without adequate precautions.

Can't wait for the inevitable 'I'm a better fan than you' arguments to arise

Yeah, they always suck. I know I haven't been to as many away games as a lot of people and the club obviously have numbers on how many fans are in that phase 1 section.

The whole of the East End has gone while the bottom blocks at the front of the Dolman have been taken down too.

Sadly for Town fans, it was never going to be a big allocation for this one.

Hold do you get 350 loyalty points?

I guessing you have to been to nearly every game this season to get 350 points?

Fair enough I suppose, but a tad annoying looking at my account, the games for Yeovil and Cheltenham didn't get added points. 

(anyone here got  near 350?)

I only have 270 - 260 for ST and 10 for going to Luton.

I have nil points.

I have 320 + my Capital One Cup Brighton game ticket that I got on the gate + my Walsall ticket on the gate so I'm actually on 345. Fuck that.

Bit of a rip that 260 pts for an ST
If you attended every home game without one you would get 345 pts

Can't see hundreds having 350, ST + 9 aways

Made the usual mistake of paying for my tickets on the day so only points I have are away on mine.
Meh knew would be a struggle to get one so have already settled for the Merlin  :beers:

 
Yeah I am on holiday also so not really bothered.

Cheers.  :pint:

15 minute walk but I won't go.

Won't be joining my City supporting friends in the home end for that one.

We always knew this would happen.....can't understand the bitching...??

That new end is going to look good full of Leicster fans next year.

I will be in paddy land watching in sky.....

If it was 100 points for each time you went past Hilmarton on match day you would struggle...

 :nod:

Nope you are on 320
They won't retro add points for tickets bought on the gate

Isn't 320 the next ticket stage, the next day

Yeah, I've sent an email over in the hopes they make an exception... hahaha

I'm sure someone has said before that if you purchase tickets for away games from our club, we receive a small percentage. If you buy them on the day, at the away ground, we don't get anything. So you've deprived the club of much needed cash, you cunts.

No true fan can bleat about a points system thats been in place for a couple of years; you knew about it yet chose not to use it, tough shit. Those who have got 350+ points deserve their tickets (and a long session of counselling as well).

Can't complain, 4000 into 991 don't go.

At least its on Sky.

I bought my Walsall Tickets on the 11th December and I bought my Brighton ticket from the club but I'm sure I'll get one in phase two.

My post wasn't aimed specifically at you Jay, more the moaners on Facebook. I've got 320 points so I'll be trying on Tuesday too. Think there will be some disappointed people next week but at least we'll all get to see the game, one way or another.

I have 455 loyalty points so hopefully will get a ticket.
Been to most away games this season and have a season ticket.
Started buying tickets on line rather than on the gate at away games because of the loyalty points scheme.

Well done.

Football fandom cannot be measured in points*


*Unless you're trying to get tickets for a football match where the demand exceeds the allocation.

And I thought I was doing well with 205.

I've got fucking thousands of loyalty points.

Been still going home and away for the last 10 weeks with a prolapsed disc.
Should have seen me at Sheffield United, had to go by train as couldn't drive let alone walk.
High as a kite on painkillers and at halftime spaced out at the back of the stand across 4 seats.
Super fan not but following Swindon is part of my life.

Just in case any one gives a dam Ive no idea if I have any points, but I probably do however Im busy that day working so there's one ticket going.

Im just scared of the terrifying atmosphere really. 

Every sympathy with you on the prolapsed disc trouble, Banners.

If you haven't got one already, get yourself an inversion table. Hanging upside down by your ankles works wonders for the spine. (Don't do it when your pissed up though. You won't be able to resist doing it starkers, and It's a right cunt trying to get yourself upright again, let alone having to contemplate calling the missus for help....)

Fair play to anyone who's got 350-odd points and can get a BS ticket. They deserve to get one as they've obviously been to plenty of away games as well as home.

No one seems to have noticed that the club have stitched the rest of us up though.

There was an allocation of 1100 away tickets for this match, so where the fuck are the remaining 200+ going?

20% of the total allocation going to the Prawn Sarny brigade?

20% of the total allocation going to 'mates' of the board?

20% of the total allocation going to corporate sponsors - who write off club sponsorship as a fucking tax deductible item anyway?

Are those cunts going to have to prove their 'Loyalty' like the rest of us?

Nah. Thought not.

Like I said, no problem with anyone getting a ticket if they've got more points than the next bloke, but it's a bit fucking rich choking genuine fans during a scarce ticket allocation in favour of the clingons.

50 tickets, maybe, but 200+??

Taking the fucking piss

But Sir, please Sir......Surely 1100 less 991 only comes to 109......which, in turn, equates to about 10%.  :headhurts:

Has this figure been confirmed anywhere?

I think a certain number go to the Travel Club for regular travellers by coach.

I've probably got enough points but thats because I buy tickets for my daughter on my account so I've only been away 3 games but will have enough points. the problem thuogh is that I can't really go and leave my daughter sat at home. Looks like i'll be in front of the telly and go to Colchester instead

I can confirm that everyone at the club is under strict instruction that there is no special treatment for Bristol City tickets e.g. sponsors, family etc do not get priority by knowing the staff.

It's probably 1100 tickets, yeah... but because the away end is in the family end they've probably added a shit ton of segregation at the side and the front few rows.

It's obvious its down to segregation. It's a local derby.

This is not the case - everyone that travels with SAS Travel has to sort their own match tickets.  This applies to all matches not just this one.
