Why don't the club just sell the allocated amount of season tickets, then adapt as the rules change.
Absolutely.
I buy a season ticket though I'm 5k miles away. I usually get to maybe 4 or 5 games a season. The ballot option appears crass and unfair. Scenario - I shell out $1k+ for a flight back to find I can't use my seat though I've bought a season ticket. Idiocy.
