The club is not a charity nor a social enterprise but ran as a going concern. In order for it to continue operating it has to maximise the services it has to offer. I'm afraid if you want a premium seat you have to pay a premium price. Anything less from the club would be commercial suicide. So what if businesses decide to spend £thousands of pounds per match to seat their employees or clients or individuals decide to treat themselves or a family member to an enhanced match day experience? At what cost? A couple of hundred prime seats being sold as POTD or ST making what? £5/10k or those seats being sold for £50/100k? Somethings got to pay those players wages and I'm afraid it ain't going to be POTD/ST in those seats. I don't get the sense of entitlement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not trying to be a dick, but it was possible then. Just would take a bit of coordination and Internet access. Not ideal obviously, but not really a reason that removes any possibility of getting the seats either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was on holiday I would have reserved some time to buy the tickets, I would have thought it was obvious the centre block tickets wouldn't last long and indeed most of them were gone in the first couple of hours, not really the Club's fault. Yes im sure you would have been sat around at a computer with phone in hand with details of about 10 people at hand at about 1am with the time difference while you were on holiday. Plus the club didn't announce the procedure for the ticket sales months before they went on sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of our friends was on holiday so I got his ticket for him, it's just a matter of being organised, I just don't think it's fair to blame the Club they tried to be as fair as possible and no system's perfect.

I don't want to be smug, but....I was on holiday in Majorca and from the comfort of my sun lounger I bought tickets for 4 people using a laptop and hotel wifi within seconds of them going on sale. The procedure for ticket sales has been the same for a long time - head to the Bristol Sport website and off you go. I had all the details for all people associated to my online account before I left. I knew full well tickets would be released while I was away so made sure I planned ahead. The time difference is your problem. Take some responsibility and stop trying to blame the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exAtyeoMax Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Sorry, I don't understand. Are the club assuming that everyone who bought tickets in the central block lower tier, are going to relocate to the upper tier? Was there some kind of reservation process when they bought their season tickets? I don't understand why it's not possible for the OP to buy tickets in the central block of the upper tier…(unless they aren't for sale at all).

johnshez Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 yes that's fine if you do not have disabled but two of our party are disabled and the only way to renew season tickets is by contacting the office we cannot renew by Internet which is why it has been so difficult it's great if your able bodied I have been having this arguement5 with the club for several years we cannot book on line we have to ring them which like today took nearly6 1 and a half hours to get through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might I add to say because I'm sat in them I'm not 'Loyal' is very disrespectful to a significant number of people who have put a hell of a lot into the club financially over the years. So 'Superfan' I've only missed 2 home games and 4 away games in the last 5 years and that's with a schedule that takes me over the world for work...shall we begin to have a dick waving contest? Get over yourself. Spot on @Spoons revenue from this tiny % will be more than the entire season ticket revenue combined. Agree, it's all crayfish and avocado these days.... Well superfan Bootboy (are you old enough to remember them,us) Iv not missed a game on player in the last 10 YEARS. Plus I have managed to get to the odd live game. So wave your d**k at that.

If you can't put up a reasonable hypothesis as to why moving up in a straight line is ok but moving up and to the left a little isn't? your right I am moaning about nothing. How about because by moving straight up you're getting the quality in terms of a wings seat still being a wings seat, not a wings seat being moved to a central seat. Pretty simple really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYTRAM Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 They've released some more W3 now showing availability 290. Other blocks showing over 150 available this figure was down to 60 not long ago. Could be around 400 more released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
