Reading in the Stoke press today that they have been given an "initial" allocation of 32,000.

 

It says that the time of the game COULD be decided as late as friday.

So, essentially, you favour the system that is best for you, even if it increases the chances of us having thousands of empty seats and generally being a laughing stock?If you went to all the games you claim it would have made sense to get a membership. It's no one else's fault if you haven't.

I don't have a st, but I'm not worrying, there'll be enough.

its about time the season ticket holders got a perk rather than suffering every season by watching the ?5 offers come and go

Last time we played in an FA Cup semi-final we took around 19,000 to Wembley.

 

I thought it was more like 22,000. Either way there were fucking loads available. As you might be able to tell, people panicing are getting right on my tits.

Carlos that membership point you made is a very fookin good one

As you might be able to tell, people panicing are getting right on my tits.

 

Thats not really come across...

We wont sell 32000 end of

 

Everyone who wants a ticket will get one

I for sure will be buying a membership next season and for seasons after that. Saves me having to (maybe needlessly) worry about getting tickets like this again.

This is what is on the mobile site (or was?)

Based upon what?

 

They are fucked whatever they do. 1 per ticket leaves nearly 20,000 on open sale which is quite frankly fucking ridiculous.

 

2 per ticket leave some 6,000 on open sale which should be plenty, or course someone will still moan there's no ?30 tickets left etc.

 

 

 

The problem with Cardiff was they made it 2 per ST, Lifeline membership, Goldline etc. etc. etc. Some people could (and did) buy fucking loads of tickets to the detriment of their fellow supporters. Whoever made that call (Gareth Moores?) is a simpleton.

 

People need to remember how many people we took to the last FA semi-final - not fucking many. This to me seems the right thing to do.

 

Absolutely. You judge each selling allocation on its merits, this isn't another Middlesborough. It's a blessing the club haven't panicked after the Middlesborough debacle and seen sense. As Carlos said you would have had a ridiculous situation of multitudes of open sales buyers together with season ticket holders going back to try and get bulk tickets together causing absolute farce. When it's confirmed its 2 per season ticket the club will have made the right decision. I still think we will have tickets left over even after open sale

 

Now the final is a different case altogether and again should be judged on its own merits, there it might make more sense for 1 per season ticket holder.

I agree that it would be unfair if you missed out to someone who is going to their one and only game of the season as a guest of a season ticket holder. However i doubt that every season ticket holder will want two tickets and even if they do, one of them might be for someone like you who's asked them to buy one on their behalf. There may be far more than 6,000 tickets on open sale. Last time we played in an FA Cup semi-final we took around 19,000 to Wembley. I'm not sure whether it was only one ticket per season ticket holder back then or whether we just didn't have very many season ticket holders but either way i think that the club is just trying to avoid a repeat.

 

 

 

well am changing jobs at the start of may and will have my weekends back and a season ticket , but for this year fingers Crossesed i guess.

Not every season ticket holder will buy two.

So, essentially, you favour the system that is best for you, even if it increases the chances of us having thousands of empty seats and generally being a laughing stock?If you went to all the games you claim it would have made sense to get a membership. It's no one else's fault if you haven't.

 

 

Well not really as if u read what i said , SEASON TICKET HOLDERS SHOULD be garanteed one ticket! Once they all have one then they wll still have th chance to buy more wont they ?

D'oh

Edited March 18, 201115 yr by Gonk

I think the panic sets in after i struggled to get a ticket to cardiff , even when i had a season ticket,

Well every season ticket holder should have the chance to buy a ticket which is fair, i had a season ticket for 10 years with my dad , but as i work most saturdays now i dont have one, i get to every game i can home and away,

 

Theres a very small chance that i may be one of the lucky 6000 to get one on open sale , but if i dont is it really fair i miss out ??

 

So I'm assuming your dad still has a ST. and so will be able to get you one.

I am 100% certain that no one will miss out on this game who wants to go

 

I dont have a ST either so I am in the process of cutting my leg off with a rusty hacksaw, then I will be dropping a toaster in my bath, then poking my eye out with red hot poker. I will then get the BEN to run a story about how much hard luck I have had recently and how I now cant get out of the house to go and get a semi final ticket, I will then sit and wait for the club to read my plight and "give me one" for free.

 

Simples.

Thank f?ck I'm in Dubai

Well not really as if u read what i said , SEASON TICKET HOLDERS SHOULD be garanteed one ticket! Once they all have one then they wll still have th chance to buy more wont they ?

 

They could do BUT MOSTLY LIKELY NOT TOGETHER WHICH FOR PEOPLE TAKING THEIR KIDS, WIFES, GIRLFRIENDS ETC. IS FUCKING POINTLESS. It's not that complicated is it. Take a chill pill and calm down, it's people like you panicing that cause problems further down the line.

 

 

Where the hell is this announcement was supposed be 11am!!!

We'll take more than we did for the Villa games because of the New Wembley factor.

 

2 per ST is a good idea. Lets not forget, a large amount of our ST's are juveniles.

 

Not all of these will have the cash for the day out.

 

I guess around 8k-10k on open sale.

I think the panic sets in after i struggled to get a ticket to cardiff , even when i had a season ticket,

 

I will sell you one for twice the ticket price.

The ticket office can never please everyone! Decision made, no one cant change it.

I will sell you one for twice the ticket price.

 

 

i might be taking you up on that

Not every season ticket holder will buy two.

 

I will and then bang them on Ebay at inflated prices!

There's ????s to be made from the Non-STs in my opinion!
