I see no way Bob that it doesn’t reach Phase 7. I just don’t think we have got 2,844 fans with 550 points (2*ST+early renewal + 4 aways) and every single one of them taking 2 tickets.bobmunro said:I'm Phase 5 and would be fairly confident that it will get that far if I was intending to go.The only Phase that looks a bit iffy to me is Phase 7 - VG only giving priority over a ST holder for the last two years. I doubt it will get to Phase 8.No system is perfect though, but perhaps as suggested already only two tickets per person if one is an under 18, otherwise just one ticket.Just doesn’t seem realistic to me. I don’t think there’s been a single game (bar the uniqueness of Cray Valley) where a ticket sale hasn’t included the OR VG levelI agree. It's phase 8 that it won't reach - i.e. supporters who have been ST holders for the last two years.There are 3,000 VG members - and those that don't qualify for an earlier phase will be able to get 2 tickets at Phase 7 even if they have never been to a single game.0 -

This problem of not enough tickets for all the fans that want to go. Long may it continue for as many of our away games as we can make it so.

I’ll defend 2 per person, as I did earlier, which is, 1) it makes away tickets easier for parents, you get certainty that your child will be with you, 2) the ticketing system does a terrible job of allocating points to kids 3) I think it’s probably pretty marginal in terms of sales, before it gets to the VG free for all stageredbuttle said:

Best to go straight to the TO, as when I contacted VG, they passed it on to the TO.clive said:

Another thing that I think is wrong is, my son bought 2 away tickets for Coventry last season, I was 20 points less than him and the phase he could purchase tickets at so he couldn't allocate mine, got in touch with the ticket office during the week after the game to get the ticket and points allocated and was told I wouldn't get the points as it didn't reach my phase before selling out.0

Isn’t the allocation of points to kids the same as to adults ?Rothko said:

Which is where it's wrong IMO. Giving VG, on it's own, priority over someone who goes to games, however irregularly, seems unfair. VG should be used as a point of difference for fans with equal loyalty points.bobmunro said:AFKABartram said:

I go to the NFL games every year and the public transport isn’t actually that bad. The best route I’ve found if you’re heading back into London is just going straight to White Heart Lane Overground and getting in the queue. When you first join it will look horrific but it moves quickly and you should be back at Liverpool St within 45 mins.DoctorCharlton said:

For most fans, Spurs away will still be easier to get to than 90% of the other away games in the country though.redbuttle said:

I have 525 points but get my first go for 2 tickets due to valley gold instead on Thursday morning at stage 7 if still available.
My sons details show up on my account as I pay for his season ticket and it shows me his loyalty points (515) does that mean I can order 2 tickets on his ID if it gets to stage 8 at 2pm, he's 13 and doesn't have a login, and if so, how?0 -

Only lower tier on sale at moment and doesn’t look like any more than a couple of hundred have gone in Phase 1

The phasing will never be perfect for everyone but I think the club generally get it about right - but the one thing I'd agree with is this. Surely someone who's renewed their ST continuously for 10, 20 or 30+ years (especially during the dross of L1) should have a level of priority over someone who, for example, has had 2 years as a ST holder now we're back in the ChampionshipRedvalleyeast said:

They'll be a Mexican stand off now, where nobody buys tickets to wait for the middle tier tickets to go on sale. Then they don't go on sale due to not enough tickets being sold and the away end will be empty except for one bloke who had 10 loyalty points.6

Bet the club don't have the records for who had a ST 20 years ago, I know the museum have older registersRufus is a dogs name said:

You can allocate without the need for anyone else logging in. Obviously you have no idea how the system works.DA9 said:I have 525 points but get my first go for 2 tickets due to valley gold instead on Thursday morning at stage 7 if still available.

All this would do is change the bands and hurt kids chances of going. I would guess that most ST holders who go to away games are fairly long standing anyway and so would also get all those points. You'd have an extra 30 points but so would loads of other people meaning it realistically makes little differenceDA9 said:

One day the club will realise that if they are only selling away tickets on a block by block basis and doing so from the front to start with then they need to set the phase one points qualification a lot lower. All they are doing is pushing the bulk of the sales back a few days which could cause them potential logistical issuesAFKABartram said:Only lower tier on sale at moment and doesn’t look like any more than a couple of hundred have gone in Phase 10 -
