kevsta69 Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) Went on at 9.45am and surprised to see a queue system and was 1400 in the queue by the time I got on at 1008am there were no tickets left.Been to every away this season except Port Vale,Lincoln and Derby. Does that make me a super fan not really we’re all fans at the end of the day. Bit gutted but more important things in life. Fans talking about a priority system. I personally wouldn’t be in favour of that. I normally get an away ticket for my daughter who lives in London for the long away games like Charlton by using a friend’s ref number who doesn’t go to the away games so personally rather take my chances when they go on sale. TBH I normally get the away tickets I want just wasn’t quick enough today and should have gone on at 9am to get in a queue that I didn’t know existed before today.

barrycowdrill Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 The priority system for away games is the away ST. Simple as that. They all had their money taken yesterday and got tickets. who the fuck wants a priority for the cups? We’re normally out of them in the early rounds anyway. our followings for this league are decent. Shite for the league above. So whatever additional system would hopefully be short lived anyway. ST holders are already 2nd in line. Free for all between those is Just fine. Any non ST holders can live off the scraps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter MickyD Posted January 26, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted January 26, 2023 Perhaps it’s time to go back to queuing in person for high-demand/low-capacity games such as this. I know of folk who have never been to a game this season, never mind a previous Papa-John Trophy game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ani Posted January 26, 2023 Author Share Posted January 26, 2023 They just need to have a consistent approach. We do a lot of aways and already bought Pboro, so need to go and update details or buy the Pboro tickets. Whereas others who were doing either of these were on the site earlier and so joined the queue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUREADY2ROLL Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 It’s live on Sky so no real drama.

Bandwaggon jumping bell ends..... Ticket office know who has and who hasn't been before. Club isn't arsed, it makes very litle money from selling away tickets, so the quicker they get rid the better. Those moaning are the ones who weren't quick enough at the end of the day. I got the 12 I wanted, so fair's fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be a system and folk not wanting it all seem to be people who know they can get what they need when needed. it’s going to happen more and more.

Moderators Casino Posted January 26, 2023 Moderators Share Posted January 26, 2023 i have no issue with the system as it is i do my fair share so would prob be in front of a lot who got tickets and behind some who havent what i do have issues with are as follows the queuing system - announce it ffs folk were buying on line at 940 the 10am start btw i got a ticket and im giving it away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big E Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 It’s happened twice now and will happen at least 3 more times if we are pushing promotion.

Leyther_Matt Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Absolutely understand that the away season ticket is there for people who do EVERY away game, and quite rightly too. But with 14,000 season tickets going at 2,500 tickets, there realistically needs to be some steps built in to give at least a slight priority to those who go to some away games. And I say that as someone who has absolutely bought tickets under other client references etc. Unlike other loyalty schemes though that end up a closed shop (see the England thread), it would actually work quite well because at least we do have some away games that would go to the bottom rung of season ticket holders and/or general sale so people would at least have a chance of getting on to the ladder. It would also stop the mad 10am dash because it would give a window of say 4-8 hours where, if you’re in that particular bracket, you’re guaranteed to be able to go on and get a ticket. From memory, City have a system like that which seems to work quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go to 'most' but have missed out 2-3 times now. Today is annoying as they changed the rules with no notice. Would like to say the breakdown of tickets that did not make it to sale who they go to and how many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
