Topic: Members Sales

[sonofkenny]

You will be able to transfer to anyone on your friends and family, they don't have to be members, the credit will still go to them.  up to them to become a member or not after that.

[sonofkenny]

Only for PL games too.

no credit transfers for cup games this season but you still use the Friends and family to transfer the ticket if that makes sense

[redgriffin73]

Cheers

[swoopy]

If you transfer your ticket to someone else, they will get the credit.  If you leave the seat empty i.e. don't turn up, you lose the credit.  announced next week i believe.

Baby steps. Good start though.

[sheepfest]

If I am understanding this right then all you need is five people on 13+ now & between them transfer you enough credits whereby they don't drop below the magic number & hey presto you join them next year? Apologies if misunderstood just seems to be creating another credit hunt avenue.

Absolute farce

Correct. Joke of a decision.

[sheepfest]

Thanks.
In that case needs to be a limit on how many transfers you can receive in one season but I won't hold my breath.

[scouser102002]

They do a good thing but still can't help doing a bad thing as well.

[sonofkenny]

ha ha!  Here we go.

Do you really think that people are going to do that?

[sonofkenny]

The 'magic' number won't be 13 next season anyway.

[scouser102002]

It's being talked about everywhere so, probably.

You shouldn't be able to accumulate credits without a membership and previous criteria if it includes 4+ games. How is it fair to the rest?

[sonofkenny]

Oh and no transfers at all for local and late sales, at all.

[scouser102002]

As in 23/24? Think that was obvious with the new stand, it went up to 15 after the main stand was built I think

You aren't accumulating credits unless you join the membership... if you don't you lose them.

[sonofkenny]

it will go down

[scouser102002]

You're still accumulating them though, you just need to buy the membership to use them next season.

It's good that the person attending is getting the credits, that's what we've always wanted I think, there's just a bit of an issue with queue jumping this way

[scouser102002]

it will go down

Seriously? I had thought they wanted it going up

Not really, the person going will get the credit which is right.  Your Friends and Family list will be locked too so you cannot just add people to transfer

You shouldn't be able to accumulate credits unless you buy them yourself and attend the games. Accumulating them by getting them from someone else is a joke.

Me, 2 mates and my brother will be dropping off the 13+ this year as we don't go to all the games. We're completely fine with that. But I could literally pick 4 random people on Twitter that have never been to a game in their life and transfer each of them 13 games from our 4 memberships and that's them in the guaranteed sale next season. Utter madness.

[RainbowFlick]

ha ha!  Here we go.

Do you really think that people are going to do that?

yes, they definitely will. if you have four cards with 19 and have mates who aren't, why wouldn't you sort them a few spares so you're all on 13+? if the motivation here is to stop the whole 'who you know' thing for tickets, then surely this is a bit of a blindspot too?

maybe it's me also being cynical but it wouldn't surprise me if people even start touting the credit transfer as an extra price. good thing late sales can't be transferred otherwise you'd get a whole industry created there

So what would you do?  everyone moans about people buying and not going and now moan when the credit goes to the person who attended

And your list will be locked BEFORE the start of the season so not that easy.

Is the QR code going to be randomised to stop screenshotting of codes that goes on now ?

QR codes going totally, will take a few games but going in full

[scouser102002]

That's good, if it happens.

They said last season only 20 F&F, yet they let you add unlimited number, and then didn't even use it anyway.

I think someone earlier mentioned they should limit the number of games you can have transferred to you. That would be good. I mean, if you want loads of games given to you, then you should be buying a membership like the rest of us. Otherwise, why are we shelling out £30 a year when loads don't have to?

As i have said loads of times, this is going to be a staged process.  last year they wanted to get NFC in, this year is about starting to tie it down further and learning a bit more, next season they will tie it down even further.

[Barneylfc∗]

If you buy the ticket and attend the game, you get the credit for it.
If you buy the ticket but don't attend the game, you don't get the credit.
If you don't buy the ticket direct from the club, you don't get a credit.

It's hardly rocket science.

[sonofkenny]

Thanks for the passive aggressive response....

That is what they are doing but they are also fixing it for those who have relied on others for years to go to finally build their credits.

As i have said i would expect it to be tied down even further in the coming seasons.

[scouser102002]

no QR codes will cause carnage at the turnstiles since most go in using them rather than NFC

[Barneylfc∗]

And your list will be locked BEFORE the start of the season so not that easy.

It literally is that easy. Just get 4 people from Twitter and add them. No need for anyone else. Transfer 13 games to those 4 people. They're now in the guaranteed sale having never been to a game in their life.

a tout with burner phones will go from 6 cards to 10 cards next season if they planned ahead...

Apologies, that wasn't directed at you. It's a baffling decision from the club.

[RainbowFlick]

also a significant number of people don't have NFC smartphones. a friend has an older android and the only way is via QR code.

Not sure your maths work there.  You are transferring 13 games to 4 people?  that is 52 games?!

[sonofkenny]

Its not just the club though is it, this will have input from the SOS etc.  they are intending to use FAN Update etc a lot more this season and don't forget they will be able to see who been added to the F&F lists etc so will be able to target people

[Barneylfc∗]

Me, my 2 mates and my brother have 13+ games but all live in NI, so will not have 13+ for next season.

I mean if each of us were to transfer 13 games this season to someone we've never met.

[PHIL.]

They need to improve the scanner then because my phone will only scan when I bring up the QR code.

[sonofkenny]

Hence why they are going to phase it out over a number of games
