Charlton fans who have supported Lee Bowyer’s Addicks during 2018/19 will have their loyalty points carried over into next season.

but will it not be the same problem, as a st will have 460 points and even if you done every away game you will be starting the season on 260 points1

Handy for me thoughpalarsehater said:but will it not be the same problem, as a st will have 460 points and even if you done every away game you will be starting the season on 260 points
I have 330 points and will not be buying a season ticket , so if we do go up and a couple of thousand come back I'll be better off than them0 -
Every match went on general sale this season.1

THIS .. I go to very few Valley games but a lot away .. the scheme is surely aimed to encourage people to buy season tickets and to join Valley Gold .. on the other hand though, your season ticket money goes to the club (irrespective of the owner etc) whereas from my few quid, CAFC as an entity earns almost nothingthickandthin63 said:Dont see this as fair,my wife and I are season ticket holders but do not go away very often.This system means we would have preference for a top away game over a non season ticket holder who does the hard miles and goes everywhere.

If you look at the system without the Rolly factor, it is totally fair. Those that give the greater amount of money to the club get the biggest benefits.palarsehater said:but will it not be the same problem, as a st will have 460 points and even if you done every away game you will be starting the season on 260 points
What the club needs to do next is introduce another category before general sale to recognise not just those who go to away games, but those who do not buy a season ticket as they are not able to commit to a season ticket due to non availability every Saturday or don’t have the money, but go to games quite regularly.
One of of my friends and his son are missing out on Gillingham as tickets had all gone by the time he was home. Has been to about half the home matches and 4 or 5 always. That extra phase would have really made a difference.0 -
If your friend was unable to use the internet or phone at any point in the day, couldn't you have bought them for him ?Redrobo said:

NB he was eligible to buy but couldn't so an extra day wouldn't have helped him.1 -

I text a mate last Tuesday 10 days ago to tell him he should be able to get his ticket beginning of this week.
I rang him on the day they went on general sale and he hasn't bought his , i told him they would sell out that day.
Did your friend have no one who could of got him a ticket before general sale.
Also did he not get a lunch break the day of general sale.0 - Sponsored links:

I would have happily bought them for him, but he was trying to sort 8 tickets and a couple were dithering. Told him to book those who were certainties, but he thought he had loads more time as they have never sold out so quickly.Covered End said:

The extra day would have helped as they would not have sold out and he could have at least bought for the 3 that go regularly.
Does any of the above change the principle though?
We can choose to ignore occasional fans and those who attend away games, or include them in the scheme and incentive the scheme.
I am in favour of the latter.
p.s. If you have any spares for the Gills game plse pm me. Thanks.0 -
I will sell my points. £1000 per point. Seems like a perfectly reasonable valuation.0

I take your point but there were 1150 tickets left when it went to general sale & your mate didn't buy, because he was waiting to hear from people that don't go regularly & didn't let him know until it was too late.Redrobo said:

Hardly Charlton's fault imo, more a misjudgement of your mate.

If you have say 4000 people after 2500 tickets (or whatever) it doesn't matter what system you use, there will always be people who miss out. To me the current arrangements are a reasonable effort, yes maybe away tickets should get more points and the bandings can be questioned, but all football clubs will favour people who buy a season ticket, that's entirely normal.0

Agreed, but who was blaming anyone? Not me.Covered End said:

I also added that he thought he had loads more time as they had not sold out so quickly before.
I am suggesting an improvement to the system going forward. However, I would argue that 1150 tickets would not have been sold if there was another tranche; and would further suggest that the extra tranche would more likely to mean that fans that have demonstrated their support of the club this season by having points would more likely to have got tickets. I would further suggest the speed with which they sold out compared to previous season confirms this.
I do take your point though. I am in the early bands so although it is against my natural instinct of trying to be fair to everyone, I will be buying the max I can next time.0 -
Have people who went to the Stevenage league cup match had their points added?0

Any one had points added for the playoff final?0

Yeah I think I’ve had those, + ST for this season, but still don’t have the 5 points for the Stevenage match. Slightly annoying as I’m on 555 and 560 is normally the next tier in the away match prioritisation (I think).guinnessaddick said:Any one had points added for the playoff final?1 -
It would be a good idea if they showed what game(s) your points come from.3

I did mention that I'd been advised that the system had changed this season but no-one picked up on it....
Maybe an email to the Ticket Office or Comms ( Tom Rubashow) or even the Fan Advisor might prompt some action ?0 -
You can allocate a ticket to someone online providing they meet the points at the time of buying.0

The only change i can see is what i have posted above.Fanny Fanackapan said:I did mention that I'd been advised that the system had changed this season but no-one picked up on it....

If you buy a ticket for somebody who does not qualify for that phase points cannot be allocated to that persons points total but if you contact the club later but before the match the ticket is for, the club can then add the points to the persons purchase record.
When the scheme started when i purchased an extra ticket in phase 1[ x points + VG] that used to be the case, this season it seems to have reverted back to that rule.0 -
I thought they said the play off games weren’t going to qualify for loyalty points, or Wembley at least wasn’t.guinnessaddick said:Any one had points added for the playoff final?0 -
Points were allocated for the Play-off semi- finals but not for the final, not as the club ever announced that there would be points for the final.letthegoodtimesroll said:

Thanks Clive. Our points totals seemed too low and I wasn’t counting those two extra games against Wycombe.clive said:

i could have sworn they said something about the game at Wembley not getting loyalty points. Maybe it was just something that had been posted in a thread at the time.0 -
Definitely not right that we are in a peak period of points priority for a forthcoming game and points from last Tuesday (and Saturday) still haven’t been added 6 days on.Something in the process needs improving.6

You can see that on your account page and history I believe.guinnessaddick said:It would be a good idea if they showed what game(s) your points come from.1
