Home points taken back?

Hi
Does anyone know if you lose home league points if you don't actually attend a game that you have purchased a ticket for?? We are currently stuck abroad and might not make it back for the Brighton game ....@Jim Frevola

You'll lose the point if you don't attend. Happened to me in preseason due to an urgent OP - Contacted ticket office and they said there is nothing they could do as it wouldn't be fair to others to give me the point back.

Jesus , that seems harsh, imagine being hospitalised for a few weeks and dropping way down the ladder cos you missed a few games

I was reading this before looking at the user name.
Thinking thats strange, I know this happening as well.

Yeah.. I thought it was harsh too, but couldn't be bothered to argue it to be totally honest.

I knew it happened for the pre season points giveaway games, but didn't think it applied to league matches

Might be worth checking with the ticket office, as you could be right about the league games.

I don't think they take points off your account if you don't attend. Is the point already applied? If so, don't worry.
In the case of the pre-season games with points, the points weren't applied to the account until after the barcode had been scanned at the gate.

I saw @Jim Frevola was on here, can he confirm anything?

Can you imagine this points situation in COVID times, having to isolate and missing games would have been disastrous

The points system was in place long before covid, it was suspended for that period and continued from the second championship season.

that's one way of the club culling those horrid legacy supporters

You’ll be fine for a league game. Even if the ticket isn’t scanned. The women’s games you have to actually attend to get the point. So I believe anyway

 

[CarparkTopTrumps]

I don't fancy having to charter a private jet back to the UK just so I don't lose a home point LOL

Please contact the ticket office. They’ll know specifics.

I did read preseason that the point is allocated but taken away if the ticket isn’t used.
I think it was on cows but might be on X.
This is why attendances are higher, people worried they’ll lose points if the ticket isn’t used.

Surely someone in the history of AFCB in the points era , has bought a ticket and not been able to go........
