For me the only way MyGers can reward loyalty whilst also being inclusive for all members, giving them a chance to get to matches and progress through the MyGers ranks, is to allocate tickets on a % split basis. For example, 50% Gold, 30% Silver, 20% Bronze or something like that. And do a ballot in each category so that everyone genuinely gets a chance. For simplicity this should apply to any game ie European away, domestic away, semis and finals. I know it means that a Bronze member will get a ticket when a Gold member doesn’t, but the bigger allocation of 50% of tickets to a smaller number of Gold members means they’d proportionately have a much better chance. That’s the reward for loyalty. I’m sure there’s a downside to this idea too but it seems simple and fair to me and would avoid any notion of a “closed shop” which is a problem with the top down approach used.
