So every single person at Huddersfield each bought their own ticket, or had 6,000 loyalty points?

Find that hard to believe - especially after MACCA’s comment above
Only 1 ticket can be purchased with each membership number with the required points.

That is exactly what happened. Every ticket was purchased using Clarets Numbers with 6,000 points or more.

I know for a fact people with 6,000 points went and bought more than one ticket on ONE Clarets number.

It was your reply of “no comment” when I asked if all 22 of you at Huddersfield had 6,000 loyalty points.

That implies they didn’t

They must have done so in person at the ticket office then as it’s impossible online to do that.

There were loads of kids there, it was interesting to think how the ticketing had been employed.

I wonder how many clarets numbers exist that belong to people who have passed away or moved away. There must be a stash of them being used by some enterprising/unscrupulous fans.

… or people have created loads of accounts for themselves using different contact details in order to get clarets numbers. Still not sure how they get enough points though.

People would need a ST for each number or account. If people wished to keep a deceased person's account going they would have to buy a ST in their name.

Or just as Leisure and CT have stated tickets purchased would have been done so using an account with 6000 points on.

I was on a mini bus and I’ll bet maybe 2-3 had 6000 points, I bumped into loads of lads I know on the game, again, very few would have 6000.

It’s dog eat dog when it comes to tickets, you do what you need to as selfish as that is.
I remember borrowing away ticket stubs all those years ago as well.

Can't believe the amount of moaning that goes on about away tickets. The reality is there's only about 3 or 4 games a season that won't get to general sale. For popular games unfortunately some have to miss out, that's life.
