Surely the bigger issue isn't the way away tickets are currently awarded (based on credits) but how easy it is to just buy and either pass on to mates, or worse tout off for 10x the price, and yet still keep the credit.
Hopefully away tickets go digital too and they sort out the whole distributing mess.
Sort that out and there'll definitely be more opportunities for others to get on the ladder.
And I'm saying that as someone who relies on being sorted by a mate for aways. I'd happily forfeit the few aways he kindly sorts me for each season for a chance to get on the ladder myself.
