Correct me if I’m wrong but You are saying people should get rewarded for going to games they can’t make if they buy a ticket and sell it/pass it on, which helps create a closed shop for the in demand games.
A priority system should be represented to that person only. As if it goes to general sale everyone has an equal chance
So to me your are advocating a closed shop, in particular for high demand games
I take your point but my response would be that the points system creates a closed shop for in demand games by its very design. In demand games, such as this one, rarely ever make it to general sale and as such most fans are unable to get a shot at seeing important games and experiencing the atmosphere that comes with them.
However I do take the point that some form of system is needed to reward fans that regularly follow and support the team in person and financially. Overall, on balance, there's a need for a points/loyalty system.
The situation you're describing is based on the idea that the in demand games make it to general sale, which to my experience is not the case and every year the points system continues and the more in demand the game, the less likely that is to materialise.
However, if someone has already bought tickets in the hope they can go, as they're incentivised to do so by the system, but subsequently can't go, then they should be able to nominate/pass on their ticket at face value to someone of their own choice.
At least then some fans get to/have a shot at attending games they otherwise wouldn't.
I see no other solution other than placing faith in the moral superiority of the points system and hoping that somehow, maybe, the tickets make it to general sale. Fanciful and idealistic and generally the view of those with so many points they don't have to worry.
By being a fan who tries to get to any important games I can despite not being able to go week in/week out due to my personal circumstances. Not an issue I expect you to be familiar with, Rob. That's how.
