I’ve missed out on loads of away days this season only got Carlisle away because casino had spares… usually do about 10 a season but that’s rapidly on the decline can’t get tickets despite being online 9.55 on every occasion. How there isn’t a priority system in place is baffling. 

Casino having spares

Is he over buying?

I am sure I had 10 in but I am mechanical and thick 

[Biggish Dave]

Will gladly take any spare tickets if anyone happens to find a ticket down the back of a settee

You'll never please all the people all the time, but if some people are too stupid to use an online booking system, that can't be helped.

FWIW, it should have been...
10am for those with 20+ aways
11am for 15+
12 noon for 10+
1pm free to all

So how do you move up the ladder? 

If the 20 plus are buying all the tickets you'll never do it

As discussed previously it would be a rolling 2 years. 
 

include home games that people actually attend.

 

it really wouldn’t be that hard to sort a system that works. Stop the unused tickets being used

But if the 20 plus are doing it, they're doing it for a reason and a rolling period of two years won't change that 

And they'll be home fans no doubt

It works for every other club. Why we have to pretend we are above it I don’t know. 

you could soon build up points etc. 

the system I suggested previously would work and it would hinder myself.

I get the feeling we are in a minority of clubs who dont have a points system - even Peterborough do for Gods sake

you could have approved accounts like other clubs. it can be exploited but better than folk missing out constantly. 

[gonzo]

Even Blackpool have one ffs. They never sell out anywhere.

I know someone who went to Barnsley in the play-offs last season.  It was his first away game for over 2 years.  

Plenty of folk put in the hard yards last season and barely missed a game, home and away, but couldn't get a ticket.

Do you think that's right?

 

I only go to a handful of aways each season and I don't think it's right that I have the same chance of getting a ticket as someone who goes to pretty much every away game.

Enough for it to be a problem though.

I’ve done 18 league aways this season (plus the cup games and friendlies), wife has done 16. I got one ticket this morning. There just has to be a better way.

To your earlier point, the thresholds would be flexible enough depending on the allocation. We never sell out enough for it to be a closed shop, but we have enough of an issue for 5-10 games that something needs to be in place so that people going to the ones that don’t sell out get further up the queue on the ones that do.

[mattbwfc19]

i missed out on every scramble this season (Blackpool, Fleetwood, Carlisle before they released more tickets etc.) apart from today despite doing around 15 aways this season. I've missed out a lot this season. there are much better ways of doing it, and much fairer ways
