Will you renew Mygers?

You’re not wrong at all, and it’s perfectly fine for that to be the case with them missing out over season ticket holders. I’ve been to multiple Euro aways not through the TC because I couldn’t build up points due to people passing on tickets without collecting and never got the Mygers points for them as it doesn’t recognise my attendance despite having a ST for 20 years and going to every game I get a ticket for. Now on Mygers I will, and rightly so.

A good picture for ST holders.
Its a poorer picture for non season ticket holder Mygers members.
I have mentioned this before however seeing as it's a Mygers thread there's no harm in sticking it on again.
19 home domestic games = 95 points.
1st Mygers membership= 20 points
I'll also continue and add 4 years early renewal for Mygers, extra 10 each time = 615.
455 points off of Silver after 5 years of solid domestic home support.This is the current level.It may be a worse scenario in the future as the bar has been raised before.
It will be along time before a new Mygers member gets to see a Hampden ticket if at all.
They are unlikely to see a season ticket if the current circumstances continue.The general consensus is that the points for last season were around high 890 for a season ticket.
We were denied the 3 match CL package as they never even went on sale to Mygers members.Given this I have not included European games as I expect that this will not change if we reach the CL in future seasons.
(I did get a Napoli ticket but paid about £10 extra as I wasn't a ST holder)
Not a good scheme if you are bronze and want Hampden tickets.
Unless things change its now not a good scheme if you want to see CL football as a non ST Mygers member.
*Non ST holders who are Mygers members gets 5 points for ticket purchase and O for attendance.Ive written to the club and they have confirmed this.Its also my experience.

and what you on about killie ect?
Your domestic attendance adds to your total points which gives you nearly guaranteed Euro tickets. Seems like a loyalty scheme working the way it should.
Only if the only way for points is through tickets - which it is not. Which you must know. So not really sure why you would say this…
what about the other way around?

It’s interesting that most fans refer to those in Hospitality as Fat Cats and go nuts when they’re given priority for away tickets. These guys are paying upwards of £5k per season.
what’s the difference between them and a fan who pays £50 to get ahead of fans who don’t?
I’ve been accused of being pro Board and that’s true but in the instance I don’t agree with the principle of paying £50 to be given special treatment for away tickets.
Its virtually impossible to create a system that satisfies us all. The demand is affected by the game in question and the hypocrisy is quite amazing.
most of the MyGers members have no intention of going to away games outside Cup Semis and Finals and maybe a game that is only a short travel. In fact, this thread is full of posters openly stating they only want those games.
Maybe we should bring out an Away ST scheme where you have to commit to paying a monthly DD for away tickets?
You can have enough points without any “extras” to of guaranteed attendance to any European away game that was top down.
Not saying I agree with the extras though, it’s the main issue I have with the scheme. Making every game top down is not a solution to being able to effectively buy points and completely shafts everyone else that wants to go to away games. There needs to be upward mobility.

Log into your ticket account then go to the icon that says hi your name and click it. It's the same place as your purchase history etc

I'm failing to see where your reply fits in with my post.
I haven't mentioned fat cats, hospitality, away games,additional charges etc.
I have listed the reality of the Mygers scheme for new Bronze members.(non ST)
I think that it reflects the reality accurately.
Unless you dispute that ?
You’ll have to elaborate. Did high point TC members get guaranteed domestic tickets previously?
am only on about europe hereYou’ll have to elaborate. Did high point TC members get guaranteed domestic tickets previously?
its one of my main grips with it, from a non selfish point of view
What do you mean by the other way about? You could simply tell me why you think people without season tickets or regular domestic away games should be entitled to European tickets ahead of any season ticket holder instead of implying I’m selfish and avoiding what I’m saying when pointing out it’s you complaining that it’s not a loyalty scheme.am only on about europe here

Sorry, but it works fine for me. Last season I got some away match tickets as well as SC semi and final tickets and a free Europa League final ticket. I certainly have no problem with it at all.
didnt call you selfish
that was me just looking at the system in place now and my prefer would of been old TC
I got that aswell

That’s one of the reasons my Gers does work. It helps to weed out the glory hunters and big game hunters and rewards fans on the basis of the more games you attend, the more points you get.I pay for 2 season tickets. I don't do league away games, I only go to euro aways games. MyGers has helped me very little with this so I will not be renewing.
I will wait until they come to their senses and restart a separate euro away scheme.
Until then, I will get euro away tickets from the home side and take my chances as normal.
It’s not perfect but it does have some merit.

Voted yes in gold, a lot of stuff that I can understand people being disgruntled at though.
One point I’ve made on multiple occasions though is that, especially being in Gold, it almost certainly guarantees me more games than the old CCCS would.
People forget that the number on the CCCS would’ve reached an all time high with us winning the league, coupled with allocation cuts, we would’ve likely received 1 ticket each.
I received 8 tickets last year. That’s more than I’ve ever received, as well as only missing out on 1 Euro Trip I applied for (Dortmund).

I just think what if they never changed the gold tier?
But it wouldn’t a closed shop. If people don’t want to do whatever the conditions to points are, then that’s their own choice. But it’s not a closed shop.
100% agree that those at the top of gold think everything should be top down.
Maybe if that was me I’d feel the same.
Pre - My Gers everyone just took what they got for free and accepted it. Semi’s and finals included.
Now for the sake of £40 everyone feels they are owed something.
How on earth is anyone outside of gold meant to get points if they get rid of the extras and make every domestic away top down?

It's not really a question of will. You basically have to
Take every match that Rangers offer you for 5 seasons including friendlies.
I got 8 domestic aways last season despite doing half the season in Silver.
I got the same points for away games as someone who went to 1 away match.
The slight argument for closed shop is you won’t get much of a sniff of Euro tickets if the demand is high. You won’t be able to get right to the very top imo.
Gold is already taking every match Rangers offer including friendlies! If it’s top down any semblance of upward mobility is immediately gone.
They haven’t got rid of the extras.

If it had never changed (number-wise) I’d be Mygers biggest advocate.
Im totally against top down domestically.
You asked how do people get to gold?
For the past 5 years those not in gold haven’t done that.
High/mid/low gold is irrelevant domestically. High gold is for Euro travellers imo.

It does rightly reward the most loyal fans though its now a closed shop for euro away tickets.
There seems no incentive whatsoever to join now due to numbers already in as you’d be lucky to get a cup semi final ticket. As for bronze and low silver renewing, again it seems like you could never advance to high silver or gold so what’s the point?

We’d currently get 2 if it changed to cccs type scheme, some would get 3 if really lucky and we got a few decent allocations in the Scottish cup
People craving a return to cccs thinking we’d get a letter at the start of the season with 4 or 5 games don’t have any grasp on reality
To be fair I think those craving a return to CCCS are those who are getting 1/2 tickets. Don’t think they would lose much in the grand scheme of things.
ccs was bad
mygers not rewarding
rangers need to look into rewarding the regular followers

I’ve seen people post they’d rather go back to receiving a letter in July confirming their 4/5 games
I want to throw my phone off a wall anytime I see people saying similar. Some people are absolutely clueless about MyGers and don’t fully understand the increase in club allocation/drop in rsc allocation and how normal STs get a smaller % of each allocation than we did on cccs
Perfect storm: club use % up, more interest in away games, total allocations reduced due to other clubs, less away tickets for normal st holders
So you want everyone in high gold to get top down tickets for every domestic away game on top that happening for the European aways and everyone else just needs to buy the extras if they want to catch up?
We know all our allocations just now. Why can we not do a run of ballots and tell everyone what games they are getting up to the next update? (Beginning of the season obviously)
Everyone knows where they stand and those who travel from further afield can make travel arrangements.
Same again in update 2. Same pi$h we have after every ballot is done.
I take every domestic ticket I’m offered. Pick up other tickets via bus/contacts.
No real interest in Euro aways but done a few last season to make up for not ticking friendlies which cost me gold at the beginning of last season.
I’m now happy after two season of friendlies, RTV and Edmiston house that I’m safely in gold for a wee while at least.
If away tickets were top down I would likely never see the Piggery, Tynecastle or Pittodrie again (going on Liverpool allocation being higher) despite being a season ticket holder for 33 out of 34 seasons.
Would that be fair or would be classed as not being regular enough due to not travelling abroad?
It’s not a closed shop for those in gold mate, some gold mygers members I know have had one ticket this season
I was in it first 2 years and binned it this year.
I still get tickets for every home game and happy with that. No need for My Gers as I am not interested in away games or Hampden
In a nutshell.

The numbers buying add ons will eventually though which is a key driver. No?
Yip. We had people posting last year that the numbers will drop substantially but they’ve ended up increasing. I appreciate the run to Seville will have played a part but I think on the whole people are satisfied with mygers.

Depends what the extras are in years to come I suppose,as long as there’s many tens of thousands with an interest in domestic aways,euro aways & tickets for Hampden it will sell as many memberships as it always has,a tweak to making the distribution of Cat A tickets fairer and it wouldn’t be far away from a decent scheme imo.
