This loyalty card thing is not worth it, as to make it even save a penny you need to go to 7 games (30.4%) whilst the cost is 67.8% of a season ticket. I can't see people not getting a season ticket but forking out £45 for their first game.
With the season ticket costing £8.65 a game flexis (if they did exist) should not be too cheap as some may get them instead of season tickets, but add 50% is £12.97. 8 tickets at this price would be £103.62. I think a £100 8 game ticket (one ticket per game only) would be fair, and if half way through another one is bought, then there would be 16 games for £200 only costing £1 more than the ST but no incentive not to get a ST.
Better than charging £10 for under 12s.

Saving £19 at the top end of my example is better than nothing where a season ticket is no use. Flexis would be targeted at people for whom a season ticket doesn't suit not to replace them hence the savings can't be as much as a season ticket plus they also mean you can pay up front reducing matchday outlay. They would have to increase similar to season tickets otherwise people wouldn't buy season tickets therefore your 16 game example wouldn't work as such for the reason you have given.
I used the fifteen game one as a personal choice as I would guess that is around the number of games I'd make in normal circumstances. There is no reasonable argument for arguing the loyalty card plus 10 games is a better deal than the 10 game early flexi for people who would commit to those many games.
The argument is academic though because it doesn't fit the master plan.
