What I know is that the club is repeatedly p1ssing off its loyal fans - the whole ticketing arrangements are very last minute when it was quite obvious for weeks that the play offs were a possibility and its quite obvious they are annoying a lot of people for a variety of reasons.
I expect the premium rate line that they set up for people to buy their tickets from is rubbing its hands in glee when people start clocking up £60 / £70 / £80 phone bills next week....that there is a club that looks after its fans.
There is absolutely no discernible reason the club couldn't have announced before the Dagenham game that the tickets should be retained oe even suggested weeks ago that people with 4 stubs from the last 6 (or similar) would have priority should we be in the playoffs. No discernible reason other than that the club are run with all the professionalism of the average village pantomime

I don't know how the England Members aclub sort out tournament tickets anymore, but you used to earn points for every game you attended. 1pt for home qualifier, 2pts for home friendly, 3pts for away qualifier and 4pts for away friendly.
Surely, with the club system being computerised it wouldn't be too tricky to put in place a similar system, even if it were as simple as 1pt per game attended. Would take nigh on zero effort and fans who like to pay on the gate would do so on the understanding they wouldn't have their game recorded on the system.

I do think the club are behind others in terms of ticket allocations (well on a lot of things to be fair but we'll stay on topic), other clubs have membership cards that points are added to on purchases like tickets (home/away) and even purchases in the club shop and these points are used in the hierarchy of purchasing priority tickets.
Can't be too hard to implement surely? For the future, obviously - probably too late now!

I'm not defending the club mate it's just some of the suggestions from annoyed fans don't stand up.
Just imagine if PAFC has said on the OS BEFORE the Daggers match 'In the event of us not getting into the automatics you must keep the stubs of today's match'.
The thread would have been 'What sort of message does this give out'.
Damned if they and damned if they don't.

I would call it Planning on the club's part Ian.IJN":33m2ookb said:
After all, they managed to do that when announcing the season ticket prices for 2016/17.
If the club had announced ticketing arrangements before the Dagenham game there would have been a thread complaining that we were planning for the playoffs when we should have been concentrating on achieving automatics. There was already suggestions that we wanted to get in the playoffs to make more money.
Not to mention all the fair weather fans only turning up to the Dagenham game.
I'd imagine 99% of people that want a ticket will get a ticket and those few that don't? Someone has to miss out. FISH.

Proper planing prevents pee poor performance and all that, just wish argyle planned ahead like the fans are meant to, if they where to cascade this information sooner then problems such as this wouldn't arise. My balls are hairy not crystal. Never mind pretty sure everyone that wants to attend will manage to get a ticket to be fair.
