[Official Site] Explaining Loyalty Points

They’ve said details will be revealed over the coming days so be patient.

 

I know, but why? What is the purpose of having the information but withholding it? Or do they not know what they are doing themselves yet?

 

Lets hope they use spell check, otherwise there will be hell on.

 

First impressions count for a lot and mine isn't good for the package relevant to me. It's silly only releasing half the details, when there must already be a full draft. It causes confusion and you risk customers making snap judgements and ill-informed opinions.

 

I guess to keep the ‘hype’ going a few days

 

If they think any of us in East Stand Upper pay any attention to hype, then they really do need to research the fan base.

 

Probably so, my reward for going to most away games seems to be I have to give the club £15 to keep highest priority. Now in the grand scheme of things it's a very small sum of money and I have no trouble paying it. I'm just looking at it as a £15 increase on my ticket. But it's the point of it I don't like, I could go to the first 10 away games and still be behind someone who had paid the club this "tax" so it's not rewarding loyalty as suggested its rewarding those who pay.

 

My remark was slightly facetious. I do get that things will work out better for some than others. Unfortunately they can't make everybody happy.
I assume they're trying to please as many as they can whilst protecting or increasing profits.
I can only get to three or four games a season. It costs me two days travel there and back and about £300 quid all in each trip. How many loyalty points should I get for that?
I watch some games on ifollow for a tenner. Should that get me loyalty points? I don't for a minute expect it to but there's an argument that it should.
I subscribe to the website at £4 odd a month. How about points for that?
As I say, there's a multitude of individual cases. You can't cater for everyone.

 

Don't disagree but by offering loyalty points for cash you aren't rewarding loyalty at all. You are letting people buy it. I suppose I'll have to wait for these "further details"

 

Looks a **** unfair and not especially well thought out scheme to me.

 

Yep I'd wondered about this one too. The flexi-ticket thing was bob-on for me; work dictates that I can't get to many Saturday games. This one's no incentive whatsoever - 7 games for the price of, er......7??

 

If you have 1000 people who have been to the first 22 away games and the last is a promotion clincher at a club that only issues tickets for 750 away fans would the £15 not be a further separator? I don't know, as I say, it's difficult.
To be honest I always feel slightly hard done to.
For 30 years I had a season ticket until work and distance made it unfeasible. I travelled the country watching us at away games.
The record of my season ticket purchases should be on file somewhere but probably aren't. I think that makes me pretty loyal and still, as loyal as is reasonable in my particular circumstances.
Yet in the queue for any tickets currently I'd be rock bottom of the pile.
C'est la vie I'm afraid.

 

They’ve stoked everyone’s interest now with people waiting for more which they will now reveal, classic marketing.

 

I'll probably just pay it, its only £15, just don't like the principle of people paying directly to prove loyalty.
As you say a lot of people put a lot of effort into following the club in different ways.

 

I might be persuaded to join a Points For Pies loyalty scheme.
