That’s the same for every club though.
Why change the fairest system going?

I've heard, don't know if it's true, that they are looking at changing to a points based system so, for instance, Hull away on a Tuesday night would be worth more points than the Baggies on a Saturday.

Doesn’t stop people buying a ticket and not using it for the Hull game.
The system is fine

I agree, although I reserve my right to change my mind if I can't get a ticket 😆

You get the points/ membership at least in part to go to WBA, not for going to WBA.

It's just a different way of measuring the same thing. I don't really see the advantage of a points system. It will still be mostly the same people buying the same tickets.
The issue is that there aren't enough tickets to go round for some games.

As a member of the halesowen OSC, I think it's more than fair that we get given the vast majority of tickets for baggies away next season, with us being the closest geographical supporters club to west brom.

Suspect the empty areas will be on instruction from the police or safety groups though.

Cant see why the club wouldnt want to sell every ticket available if they could

Not strictly true.
Championship and premier league rules differ.
Baggies for instance only need to provide a minimum of 2k away tickets in the championship, hence why they net off more seats than needed with advertising banners.
When in the prem they have to make this segregation smaller as they have to provide a minimum of 10% of the stadium so around 2600-2700

👍

In the Premier League, the away club gets a minimum of 3,000 tickets unless the stadium capacity is less than 30,000, then the home club has to provide at least 10% of that capacity. So a 25,000 capacity means at least 2,500.

Our biggest problem is those platinum members that absolutely should not be platinum members.

You see the same names every week saying they have 2/3 platinum refs available. They are gatekeeping higher levels of membership from everyone.

The club can see them posting it on twitter under their ticket details tweet and should cancel their memberships.

I dont think ID would work though. Things change in life and people suddenly aren't able to make a certain game they had every intention of going to. They should quite rightly be able to pass that ticket onto their friends.

But it’s a tiny percentage of people and they’d be there under any system

The wouldn't be there under a system that automatically cancels their membership
