Moderators Zico Posted April 5, 2018 Moderators Share Posted April 5, 2018 At least people who go to lots of aways are getting priority and it's not a free for all for anyone who fancies it If everyone knew in advance and everyone bought their tickets with burton in mind you'd still have plenty who had done things properly and end up missing out I get though that announcing this at this stage is going to cause panic for those that really want to go and that they may miss out to travel club types Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Does it go to two games after 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marple whites Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 The problem is, as mentioned above, once it's open sale they only take one, at the most, client ref So if I ring up for 6 only I can prove I've been I have done similar, take it you can't reassign these now?

Moderators Casino Posted April 5, 2018 Moderators Share Posted April 5, 2018 Does it go to two games after 3? No I'm told there's plenty for 3 away game types Very confident it goes to 0 aways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Faustus Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Barring a miracle (or the in-laws just looking after one of my kids for one day a year... And driving 200 miles) I might be able to help out In fact fuck it, I'll get a ticket and either sell it beg forgiveness afterwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adlington White Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Same problems as the above, one of our lot bought 23 Barnsley tickets on open sale yesterday and only needed one ST client ref so that’s 22 peiple who are going and can’t prove it. Should have just stuck wigh Away season ticket holders ... then season ticket holders first come first serve, unless they want to implement a proper cap system (not needed).

Benny The Ball Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Listed below are our away followings for this season - reality is we have only taken over 1300 fans to 3 games this season - so this should not really present a problem if a suitable selection process is applied But I think we all accept Its really difficult to ensure fairness whatever system the club adopts Is 3 games fair ? potentially with a little refinement - I would be very annoyed to miss out on Burton If say Derby and Barnsley bookings are NOW taken into account in the 3 match booking history given that some may think that is now a passport to a ticket at Burton and I hope the club exclude those matches from booking histories now they have made this announcement If it were my choice I would say if you went to any of the first 10 matches on the list below and can prove it you should get a ticket as priority - but that in itself is not without its flaws - for example I met a couple of lads at Bristol,City - ( our smallest away following ) who live in Bristol and have not seen at a match since - so you need to guard against those situations of giving people with geographical proximity a priority I also accept the argument put forward of one person buying 23 tickets on one reference and the 22 other fans having no means of proving they attended a particular game is not acceptable Reality is this is a one off and not likely to happen again anytime soon - unless we play Accrington Stanley next season 1 Bristol City 288 2 Cardiff City 3123 Ipswich Town 3374 Reading 4845 Middlesbrough 6116 Sunderland 6127 Millwall 7638 Norwich City 8009 Wolves 82110 Birmingham City 90211 Brentford 100812 Hull City 107213 Aston Villa 108014 Nottingham Forest 108215 Queens Park Rangers 109616 Fulham 109917 Sheffield United 121418 Sheffield Wednesday 203719 Leeds United 250020 Preston North End 3447 Total 21565 Average 1078 Hopefully see the usual suspects at Burton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not without flaws After Fleetwood last season did folk honestly not expect something like this? Yes, the scenario is different, but the reality is the situation is exactly the same; New ground Old ground Relatively close Squeaky bum time A lot of people will have been saving themselves for this- myself included to some extent. I too can't recall how many aways I've been to that I've purchased in advance, but would be really fucked off if the club decided to literally award superfan points for going to Bristol over say Crewe. Hypothetically, had I paid on the day on all but one away game, and decided to buy Derby and Barnsley tickets tomorrow, should I be excluded from purchasing Burton tickets on Monday? I may miss out, I'd be disappointed, but it's fair... Hopefully won't be an issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mounts Kipper Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 (edited) This is my shittest away season in my lifetime and even I’ve done 3 so no complaints from me. I’m sure If you are loyal away fan you’ll easily get hold of a ticket. Edited April 6, 2018 by Mounts Kipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Faustus Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 The guy in the ticket office was truly apologetic earlier. He explained Fleetwood was a fiasco last year due to them drip feeding tickets. They have approached it to be as fair as possible; if it wasn't such a perfect shit storm of last away, new ground, with something to play for, it wouldn't be an issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I deserve tickets based on my very long term history of attending away games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweep Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 The club is skint, we know that. Everybody wants to go to this game. The club should buy as many tickets as they can from Burton...........and then set up an auction. Highest bidders win, simple as that. It'll make the club a few extra quid, and ensure that no peasants are in attendance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty_bwfc11 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 (edited) Same issue. Been to 10 aways, but only had records of 4. Generally about four of us gone to the games but all the tickets were registered on my CRN. Rang up before and they allowed me to 're-align' the tickets to other CRN's. Just need name and CRN number and they should be able to do it for you. Edited April 6, 2018 by matty_bwfc11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
