A new system is being introduced for Cardiff City fans to obtain tickets to away games. Previously fans who had attended the most away games during the season would get first chance at away tickets but the club have responded to calls from the fans to make it fairer. Starting with the Stockport game on September 13th (tickets go on sale 10am Tuesday 2nd September for fans with 7 points on their record - see below)
A points system is being implemented as outlined below : Cardiff City FC Ticket News
From this season, we are introducing a points-based system that looks at the previous 15 away league fixtures. Supporters will earn one point per away league game attended, with a 2-point head start for current Season Ticket holders and a 1-point head start for current Club Members/Junior Bluebird members. This ensures we continue to recognise the loyalty of those who commit to the Club year in, year out, while also rewarding the dedication of fans who travel to support the team away from home.
The new system is designed to be fairer and more flexible. It ensures that supporters who consistently attend away games are rewarded, while also giving others the opportunity to build their points tally over time. Not every away game will sell out, meaning there will always be chances for supporters to increase their total and move up the priority list.
In short, the new approach balances loyalty, fairness, and opportunity:
- Loyalty to Season Ticket holders and Club Members, who provide vital ongoing support.
- Loyalty to travelling supporters, whose commitment on the road makes a real difference.
- Fairness to all supporters, by creating a transparent and accessible system where everyone has the chance to build points and progress.
