Tbf, I don't do a massive amount of away trips nowadays due to my son's morning footy commitments but that's a good idea for others. I think I could have got the trip for £80 but I wanted an open return which bumped up the cost a bit....

Honestly they are great, usually use the rail card for 2/3 away games a year and then some summer trips with the rest of the family. 
Open return when there’s 1000’s trying make their way back to Paddington isn’t a bad idea.

I didn't think that was too bad. 95 notes for me and my son combined. If I drove up, petrol, parking and potentially ulez congestion charge....it wouldn't be far off that?

If you look to use the train for away trips regularly with your son, you should look at getting a friends and family railcard. 

I paid around £50 for me and my son’s return for West Ham. The savings made that day cover the price of the railcard. 

Watford away is a crap away day. The only redeeming factor is usually being able to get up there on the train and have a beer in London after the game, which isn’t possible on Boxing Day.

"Data doesn’t give you points or change league positions, but what it does tell you is the direction you’re heading in and if you continue to create chances, and minimise the opposition, then you’ll win games."

Assuming this is a correct quote from Manning as it’s on the Bristol Live page. What waffle! Back to the days of measuring grass it would seem. Its nearly enough to make you want to tap out at this point.

This isn’t the gotcha moment you think it is.

Everyone is using data now, it’s how you use that data. In terms of modern football, his comments here are definitely not out of the ordinary.

Hopefully we can start sticking the ball in the back of the net so this kind of nonsense can stop.

Im sure that lower tier holds more than that?

About 3000 I think but around 2400 had been sold prior to 10am this morning.

Shh, don't tell @Betty Swallocks..., it's just not gonna happen....

Are you suggesting @Tomo is trying to sell a ticket for profit? Pretty poor form on your part, if so.

Bloody hell hard to believe that 

 

Ta though 

All but 600 tickets in the lower tier had been sold to ST+3.

Lower tier sold out at 10am

Excellent,  where do I send that then? Save me Mondays melee if there is any left 

Spoiler alert; there will be no Monday melee.

How much do you want for yours bud?

A pack of 4 beers and a packet of pork scratchings.

Tickets sold 9k

Attendees being the purchasers 6.5k

Tickets sold for a profit 1k

No shows 1.5k

My guess 

1k tickets being sold for profit 

If there’s 1.5k of no shows (given these people will be looking to either give away or sell their ticket face value) there will be no market for anyone to sell tickets on for a profit.

Yes this definitely was an issue.

A mate went in at 9:45 and assigned 4 additional tickets to friends/family, none of whom have been to 3 away games, some haven't been to any, he paid and had email confirmation all before 10:00.

Isn't this more of an issue of them allowing access early? They never restrict access until bang on 10am? 

Whenever I am buying tickets I usually start refreshing the online page from about half past/20 to the hour.

I'm led to believe that there was an issue with the priority ST sale ( over 3 away games) that afforded the one eligible priority sale ST the ability to purchase unlimited normal ST holders tickets.

Either moving forward, the club need to fix this, or just put it out to all STs at the same time; regardless or how many away games they've been to.

 

Untrue, I did have a go at trying to get tickets for my mates who hadn’t been to 3 away games to see if it was possible but you get an error message and the checkout button is blanked out.

Have heard second hand info that there’s only 4000 left.

No chance for members if true

5,700 remaining. Only 450 left in the lower tier though.

Does anyone know if you can assign a kids season ticket to an adult? Asking for a friend 

This has been possible before.

Don't worry, they'll be plenty of tickets going around if you offer £30 or £40 

You tried throwing this around the other day, on what basis do you keep this idea that there will be plenty of City fans looking to rip off fellow City supporters?

I don't want to argue with you, because your stance is of course admirable. 

But you must surely see that even if the vision you describe doesn't totally materialise, we have people in power at the club that will give it the best chance. 

With the greatest of respect and sympathy, you seem to be one of the supporters that facilitate the Lansdown's agenda.

Mate, he just wants to (probably) have a beer and watch a game of football.

So currently 1,824ish sold. I wonder how many ST holders have got 3plus aways. I reckon Friday morning will be carnage but will die down leaving 800-1000 for members 

There’s around 6200 left out of c8900 so around 2800 sold. 
Hard to say how many will go on Friday morning but it wouldn’t surprise me if there wasn’t many left come Friday afternoon. 

Just now, ChippenhamRed said:

Where can you find out how many are left?

Anxious wait for me as a member - hoping there are still some left on Monday!

I’ve attended the 3 away games so I can get access to the West Ham page on the ticketing website. 
 

Annoyingly only a couple of the group I’m going with have done the 3 so got to wait till Friday so we can all sit together.

Nail on the head but... Come on Betty stop being rational.. this is OTIB and City lost.. I want an argument   

You’ll be fine getting tickets on Friday if you log in at 10am (or 9:58), still around 6,500 left. 

Just now, Not Banksy said:

You think that I purposely bought them all through my name for what reason exactly? 

I don’t think you’ve done that at all, I just think you’ve cocked up not assigning your mates in the first place. Especially, as someone who attends a fair few away games, you’d surely knew there will be games where priority sales periods would come into play.

Yeah expected this to be the case and did express to the guy on the phone how it I knew it was nothing to do with the club.. Will wait

Annoyed that you were not the assigned owner?

 

 

The irony

Just went to buy 3 West Ham tickets for me and 2 others, all 3 of us have season tickets and all 3 of us have all been to at least 3 away games this season.

Apparently though as some of the games weren't assigned to their names when I bought them, I can get one but they can't yet. 

Guy on the phone from the ticket office starting having a right go down the phone (was really ****ing rude actually not sure this line of work is for him) when I politely asked if there was anything we could do, saying of course I know now a days everything is run through a system but obviously I cant use 3 tickets a game as you can clearly see that I have purchased them. 

So I bring the question here. Has anyone else had a similar issue? and do they know if there is a way to amend it. 

  

I’d be more annoyed if someone was buying me tickets and wasn’t assigning me as the owner.

We’ve had plenty of games over the past 3/4 years which have required supporters to have attended a certain amount of aways games, it’s not like it’s a new thing.
