What do you think the points requirement will be for this? I haven’t managed to get an away ticket on my own accord since they went to £30.
Have had a season ticket since the new stadium and done loads of cup games so hoping to move up the points table.
I notice the man city game has not sold out. Is there less demand for tickets due to the Jose years or because people are wary of covid?

The cutoff will be at least 340 points.

Obviously this is going to be a very, very rough guess.

When we played Wolves away in 2019, it was also a Sunday 2pm and you needed 315 points. In 2018, it was a Tuesday night and you needed 308. I'd say that's about the maximum it's likely to be. However, there's various factors at the moment which should reduce the requirement. It's August, when demand is always lowest because of people being on holiday. Covid is still a thing and putting people off - look at e.g. the dreadful Community Shield attendance. At Spurs there's also the recent failures and negativity, and we can see the friendly yesterday was worse attended than lower-profile friendlies at WHL despite the growth in the fanbase, and that even Man City isn't quite sold out yet. Now these are probably things that will put off the away crowd less, but they'll still have an impact. Finally, it's a pretty short application window - some may not notice in time to apply.

If I had to pluck a number out of a hat then, I'd say it could actually be sub-200 points. That's happened 9 times since we left WHL, so it's not unheard of, and I think these are circumstances where demand will be at the bottom end of the normal scale. That being said, I got my ST at Wembley, I have 298 points and I'm still not feeling *that* confident about it - my pessimistic side overruling my head!

I agree with everything you say with regards to people not going this time round. I have just shy of 200 I believe so applied in hope. Will be interesting to see what points are required for european away games as it’s ECL and less glamorous. I presume there is a way of checking what’s points were required for previous seasons?

Yep, the supporters trust very helpfully colate it: https://www.thstofficial.com/uploads/9/2/2/6/92268578/thfc_away_ticketing_points_2015-2020.pdf

ECL will be interesting - a mix of low demand, possibly some small stadiums, and then all the ongoing travel restrictions!

In the long-term though, the most important thing to do if you want regular away tickets is sign up to the Home Cup Ticket Scheme if you haven't already. Gives you an extra 15 per year, so 75 over the cycle. You pretty much need to be going to all those games to have a chance at the aways regularly anyway, and even if you miss one it's probably cost-neutral since the booking fees are waived.

In the new website layout where can you see your loyalty points? (sorry for the dumb question)

Sorry I meant where in the eTicketing portal does it show your ticketing points now? Can't seem to find it anywhere in there

I can't either but I've known them to hide and unhide them on your account section in the past. I think they'll bring it back in the next few days.

Yet no way of knowing how many points we have! Pretty shocking not to have that available online, its not like they've had 18 months!

If you applied for the League Cup final, the email which said whether or not you got a ticket also said your number of loyalty points. If you're a 'new' ST holder (e.g. Wembley or later), you then need to add on however many points you got for renewing this season - it's 40 if you're on the cup scheme and either 25 or 30, I can't remember, if you're not, but it says in your Ticket Purchase History section online. Other than that, I don't think any have been added or taken away since then (I believe the Trust said they'd be "writing off" 20-21 and therefore not taking another season off this year).

Didnt end up apply for Wembley last season but I've had my ST since WHL days, had enough LPs for Madrid etc... but would just like to know my total - on a customer service level it frustrates me that it isn't available. Didnt apply for Wolves as on holiday, but will try and get to a few away games this year for sure.

Looks like they’ve removed a season’s worth of points even though we’ve had over a whole season of no football. I had 550 points when I got my League cup final ticket in April. Now I’ve only got 460.

The changed the system to only be the last 4 seasons of points I think? But thought they mentioned an amnesty due to no football matches for fans for so long? Would be surprised if that wasn't the case!
