  1. My first away game was in Riga in 2000 and I was lucky enough to get a ticket through the SSC. My next away game was in Brussels a year later and again I was fortunate enough to get a ticket. Then Reykjavik came next for me and I didn't have enough points so I had to get a home end ticket. At that period in my life I was lucky enough to be able to travel to most away games and soon had 9 points (I missed the far East tour, so didn't quite make the maximum). Then young family came along and I dropped out of going to away games for a while but I still went to every home game. Eventually I made my return to travelling away earlier this year in Oslo and I didn't have enough points for a ticket and had to watch it in a pub in Oslo, but I've been fortunate enough to get a ticket for Spain. Those additional 2 points should ensure that I get tickets for Germany and be able to get the majority of away games in the future. The points system may have changed from when I started travelling but the complaints have remained the same, and I think that they're as unfair now as they were 23 years ago. If you start going to away games you might miss out on some tickets and you may not get the games you really want but it's not that hard to get enough points and to be in a position where you can get away tickets.
