Are we betting the away allocation sells out on phase 5 which goes on sale in an hour?

Some absolutely insane suggestions here for the loyalty scheme. 

Never fails to amaze me.

People suggesting amendments to a scheme that has worked perfectly well for years to suit their needs for the 1 or 2 away games they go to a season. 

Valley Gold too, away ticket priority has been a well known benefit since Jesus was in nappies and yet people still can't wrap their head around it. 

Yes, people with VG should have priority, because it is a benefit that they pay £120 for. It's £10 a month, just join if it bothers you that much. 

what about the people who pay £10 every away game for Charlton TV and there VPN costs 

You can watch it on sky TV if you like, so exactly the same as usual but a different Channel. Or are we now saying those subscribers retrospectively want points too ?.

yes

 Valley gold is heavily overrated. No it isn't . Charlton pride themselves on the Academy, and all the money goes to the Academy, bar the prizes , at £120 a year, it's good value, you feel the glow of supporting Charlton first team players in the future, and as a benefit you get priority ticketing, and as a bonus you get the chance of winning the odd cash prize.
I understand that some people may stretch themselves, financialy, to purchace a season ticket, but Valley Gold is protecting the future of the club, and I personally feel that the balance on priority ticket sales is about correct.

To be clear when I say VG is overrated, I don't mean what it does itself, I mean purely for a loyalty system pov I think it is.

You could have one Charlton fan be a season ticket holder for 2 years and attend all 92 league games. Another could attend 62 with the season ticket for 2 years and take priority on away tickets if they have VG. That's 30 less away games attended, roughly £750 quids worth of tickets, not including all the expenses getting to those extra games etc. Which is going to easily exceed £1500.

It isn't an issue, but if it was, £240 over 2 years would potentially be trumping about £2000 potentially if a fan went to every away over 2 seasons. 

You see these debates at all levels across football. No club will get it spot on. 

But that £2,000 spent on away games contributes nothing financially to Charlton. 

Ultimately it’s a moot point, no one who attends all the away matches but hasn’t got VG will miss out. But if you start deprioritising VG eligibility then it may dissuade people from joining or retaining their membership with no actual upside. 

But if it's a loyalty points scheme, the fan who goes all 92 would be the most loyal fan in that instance.

You could probably count on 2 hands the amount of Charlton fans that would apply to.  I know you won’t stop moaning about the valley gold thing (and I have some sympathy on your point re: 2 ticket allowance) but you have got to let it lie at some point. 

Not really moaning tbf, just saying I think the system could be better as it doesn't factor how much fans are actually spending to follow the club. 

If I had it my way, fans would be getting priority who had Charlton tattoos and all sorts. 

Anyway, got my tickets, great system today. 

As previously mentioned. The bar set for Phase 1 / Phase 2 is not high.

1. A Season Ticket for 2 years.
2 Attend 7 away games this season and 7 last season.

You've got over 800 points and were never in danger of not getting a ticket. 

For me the system is fair and every away game with a bit of demand the same old argument comes up.

Yet people who go regularly always get a ticket regardless if they're Valley Gold or not. Funny that.

Not to dig you out, but this seems like complaining for the sake of complaining.  

800 points !!?? How ? 

If you’ve had a ST this year and last plus go to most aways then you will have 800+. I’ve got 860 but there will be a few people with 900+ that haven’t missed an away or cup game in the last 2 seasons

Does anyone know please - is the on line queue system that was in place for phase 1 still operating for the 2pm slot today? Thanks.

Just got 2 away tickets, for the first time I can remember in a seriously long time my 590 loyalty points exceeded Valley Gold qualification.

Somehow I managed to stay logged on to the ticket website since purchasing home tickets yesterday so didn't need to join a queue again today. Just used MS Edge browser and left the tab open. No issues here obtaining tickets for either leg apart from a short queue yesterday morning for home tickets.

I don't know how you managed that as you're not yet eligible, unless you have VG as well.
I call offside.
