I can accept that it is perhaps overstated, however you only have to go on twitter to see that it's definitely not a myth. And anecdotal evidence such as that provided by 1chriswaddle suggests that even if people aren't selling them on they are buying them solely for the loyalty points.

Any information on how other teams are allocating tickets ?
Local news last night implied that Luton ( I know, I know), had given tickets to the most "loyal" fans. I know we are talking about much lower numbers of a support base, but my feeling is still that loyalty should count.
Was the same for the last season at WHL. That was a ballot for the seats for members, I got 2 for all the home games applied for. One of those was the last game where I baulked and applied for any ticket at any price, then got a £90 odd quid seat.

You are quite right overstated is a better expression than myth. Every time I have been away with spurs the end has been full. I agree that if there was a policy that any unused ticket will amount to a 50 point fortitutre that would sort that out.
I just think for the Track and trace purposes at first they are going to be checking ID?
last season for home games I would let my son somtimes put the app on his phone and he could get in all you need the CRN and the password. I couldnt see any difference that would have with an away app

Liverpool is ST holders and members only via a ballot, but only those with a Liverpool postcode.

Yes that's what my two sons and I did with our two tickets (one was in my name); we just shared the two CRNs via the app. If ID checking becomes permanent we'll just use Ticket Share instead to share the tickets for home games; I now have a senior OH+ membership for that purpose in case a CRN without a membership is no longer allowed.
I have just transferred my ST into the ST-less son's name under the amnesty because I hit 65 in August and that would have prevented him using it for away matches from this season and since I no longer go to away matches it's not an issue if ID checks do come in.
I don't think an away app will be possible because that would require all stadiums to use the same entry technology, which I don't see happening anytime soon.

Yes. I was doing that with my own ST to save logging into the app every time I needed to show the ticket because the thing keeps logging me out. It would be nice if they put fingerprint recognition on the app, but that would probably cost money.
It's what I do with my train ticket when going to away games just incase the app doesn't work at the barrierYes.

Are they going to be using track and trace though or is the ID check merely to prove that the ticket holder is who it should be? Are they actually insisting that the NHS T&T app is loaded on the ticket holder's phone too in order to gain access?
I haven't actually seen it mentioned anywhere that ID checking will continue once we are back to full capacity. I may have missed it though; has anyone seen it in any of the recent club emails?
Im not to sure, just thinking out loud really, but i think part of the commitment of opening football grounds up in the short term would be to have a list of anyone who was there to help with track and trace, i guess we will find out Sunday.
I doubt they will know what the future plans are yet but I fully expect rules brought in for Covid will end up being permanent which could well include checking ID's. Does not affect me as not a season ticket holder but will those that regularly sell tickets.
For those of you that have secured a ticket, would be interested to see what the health questionnaire asks.
Anyone else applying? £25 a ticket.

Our final group stage match of this season's Europa League takes place next week and as you have renewed your Season Ticket for the 2020/21 season you can now enter the ballot for tickets to the match.
As previously communicated, to ensure our ticket allocation process is as fair as possible, any supporter who was successful in obtaining a ticket for the Woolwich match will not be entered into ballots for subsequent reduced capacity home matches, until such time as all Season Ticket Holders who wish to attend a match have had the opportunity to do so.

Would imagine there will be a decent amount keeping their powder dry.
A game is a game though, no?
And if you are successful it reduces your chances of getting one for the knockout stages. Or for the Premier League.
I get that mate however, there's no guarantee of getting one of those. I do get that the odds are more in 'your' favour the more games go to ballot, as more and more have to drop out.
Difficult decision to make I think. Itching to get back.
I agree. I would love to go but I don't want to lessen my chances of getting to a possibly 'important' game further down the line.
