Just luck of the draw innit, like with any event that has demand exceeding supply. It's fucking wank. I don't feel as agreaved as others might, as I have only done 3 aways so far this season, but I have tried for 3 or 4 others now and it is fucking infuriating.

Chicken dippers Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Tickets showed at 9:58 I pressed buy and it was showing Wycombe tickets. I thought I had pressed the wrong button so went back. Definitely pressed buy for the Blackpool game and same thing happened again and then a third time. I managed to get the correct tickets up at 9:59 and it showed availability. I changed it to six seats and it said no seats available in your criteria. I kept on trying different amounts before giving up. It’s a total shambles.

If it worked properly you wouldn't get lobbed out and your basket cleared after getting tickets, assigning then and submitting and approving your payment It's very hit and miss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boogs Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Genuine question this, if anybody knows...... I'm guessing the morons in the supporters trust don't raise this as an issue with Neil as they probably get given and allocation of tickets before they even go on sale. Would I be correct in that assumption? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would I be correct in that assumption? No idea if they get tickets. There a ST session with NH coming up so might get raised then, I only know 2 members of ST by sight and never see them at away games but tbf I hardly see anyone, always amazes how many people at away games I do not recognise from just seeing them at games. I understand people I know might avoid me. 😒 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the sort of thing they should be doing There seems to be some notion that we will get promoted and then won't need a loyalty scheme But if these allocations are anything to go by I wouldn't be so sure Blackburn 7,500 Preston 5,800 Coventry 4,500 Sheff Wed 3,500 Bristol City 3,000 Leeds 3,000 Leicester 3,000 Millwall 3,000 QPR 3,000 Southampton 3,000 Stoke 2,600 Sunderland 2,500 Huddersfield 2,300 Rotherham 2,300 Birmingham 2,250 Cardiff 2,250 Ipswich 2,100 Hull 2,000 Middlesbrough 2,000 Norwich 2,000 Swansea 2,000 Watford 2,000 WBA 2,000 Plymouth 1,500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the bottom up, out of those 10, I can only see maybe 2 of them being an issue - WBA and one other, maybe Brum/Boro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going off current demand,you could see demand for Sunderland, Stoke, Huddersfield, Rotherham, Hull and Brum in as well if we're on a roll or they are early season fixtures They won't sort it though Whether we get promoted or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without a loyalty scheme, how else can they do it? I agree! I managed to get 2 tickets this morning but there have been plenty of other matches that I have failed to get tickets, despite being online and logged-in well before 10:00am. As you say, without a loyalty scheme, the system works; It's a local derby, there's just over 2k tickets available of which 300+ automatically go to the away-season-ticket-holders plus more to the corporates, so there's going to be LOTS of disappointed fans - AS A RESULT OF THE SHORTAGE OF TICKETS, NOT THE FAILURE OF THE SYSTEM.

mattbwfc19 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 With Sheff Utd coming down as well, they only give the bottom tier which cant be more than 2,500 And Burnley, think their allocation is just over 2,000 so whichever league we are in we're going to have this problem, it can't be that hard to bring in a loyalty system, they have all our details and order history. Unfair to those who go to the likes of Portsmouth / Cambridge etc. and they miss out on the more local away games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The frustration for me comes from actually getting allocated tickets by the system, it showing me the row and seat they are, I then assign them as requested by the system, it then tells me they are in my basket and I have two minutes to complete the transaction I then do my bit regards payment in under 30 seconds then watch as the timer ticks down as it fails to process my transaction in time If the tickets are not available due to a shortage I don't want to see them in my basket, only for them to be taken out of my basket and given to some one else through no fault of my own If I never got to that point I would accept it's not the failure of the system However I've found myself in the position several times There's only me and the system involved And it's not my fault Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about folk getting tickets before 10am? Or folk getting logged out for no reason? Or options to buy disappearing or not appearing at all?

Putting things in capitals and bold does not make them right. When someone logs on at the right time and allocates tickets to their basket but then those tickets disappear, that is a system failure.
