The problem with away system isnt always the chance to get em.

The problem is some fans (with credits) clearly buy the aways with no desire to go to some of em and sell em to fans, and still get their away credit.

That isnt fair

Spot on this.

Some of the moaning and crying I have read over the last month or so on twitter, is pathetic.

On the other hand, tickets go on sale 3 weeks before a game, and not everybody knows that far in advance if they can go or not...but they'll sell out if you wait and see, so you have to buy them before you know sometimes. And the club dont help. Look at Arsenal away 2 seasons ago. The game was on the Saturday when tickets went on sale, but it was an FA Cup weekend. The club pointed this out, and also pointed out when it would be played when it was rearranged, but didnt know yet if it was Tuesday or Wednesday, because of Arsenal playing Champions League or something. Oh, and no refunds. So basically, take your chances and buy one now, or gamble on it being on one of 3 dates AND you being able to go.

I work shifts, including weekends and night shifts, so have to book my days off a month in advance for games. Things like that above, or FA Cup replays etc. I quite often dont have the chance to take them off, but still buy my ticket and work on getting a swap later. Never been stung yet, but that would still be my approach in the future, and if I couldnt go, Id sell them to someone at face value who would be glad to have it.

Unfortunately, this is what its like supporting a club with away support like ours. Would you rather we do what Man United have started doing, and asking for ID at turnstiles, setting up ticket checks at service stations, and banning season tickets for anyone who has the cheek to sell on something when the club dont even allow them to get a refund?

I agree with you there, but something I have noticed is it's always the ones with either 0 aways or around 1 or 2 who do the moaning. If you think about it, the ones who build up credits are doing so for a reason so most likely get to more than 2 aways themselves.

It is frustrating for those fans who find that they can't get on the ladder but they do need to take some accountability and get to the less popular ones like Newcastle away if they want to qualify for away credits.

Burnley away after severe liver damage in Lillie @ £40 a ticket is unfortunate

Of course it's fair. Those people have paid the money, it's up to them what they do with the ticket. Everybody has the same option.

It's almost impossible to stop
This though.

I've got a Burnley spare there if you want it

I'm not sure it is fair at all to be honest.

A condition of receiving the credit should be attendance at the match, not initially purchasing the ticket.

Shame that away tickets cannot be added to season tickets electronically thereby ensuring that only the season ticket holder who purchased the ticket can attend by swiping the season ticket at the away game.

In this day and age that is hardly a difficult IT problem to solve.

Disagree. If I buy an away ticket and then can't attend I should be able to give it to my dad to go rather than it go back to the club. Same as season tickets, if I can't go to one game I should be able to choose who I give my ticket to, not be forced to give it to someone I've never met.

Sure, I agree you should be able to transfer the ticket, but why receive credit for a game you don't attend?

 

[mglennon]

As the away credits doesn't account for the amount of aways you attended (more the purchases) , it's not a true reprasentaive of loyalist fans, fact.

It is fair because it treats every customer equally. Everybody has the same right to buy tickets and sell them if they don't use them.

The system you're proposing would actually be worse. Those people who buy tickets and then genuinely couldn't go, which happens an awful lot, would then be unable to get rid of their purchased tickets, so less Everton fans would get to go to away games.
