Pack’s Chin Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Anyone now agree that selling tickets at ticketmaster was an extremely bad idea, because of this, people who have never been to a city game before don't know how to get behind the boys, that played a massive part in todays defeat, all i could hear was hull fans (was at the 3 lions due to not being able to get a ticket). hurry up with that loyalty system i say onwards and upwards COME YOU YOU REDS!!

Mickey Bells left foot Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 whats more annoying is that in a 90,000 seater there was just under 85,000 (i think) for a game classed as a sellout, nearly a whole row of empty seats in front of me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pack’s Chin Posted May 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 word in the 3 lions was that there was plenty of tickets flying about near and around wembley stadium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pack’s Chin Posted May 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 My excuse? Only being 16, on £4.12 an hour, not being able to get out of work, Having to pay my share in home needs, not being able to buy an st for this season, not part of any other members group because i chose not to, i never saw the point before, i do now, all my mates and relatives have college, work, and not available on the day of general sale (other than a few who refused to queue up for hours,or wake up at stupid o'clock to get them) ,people have priorities and money issues , so you cannot say i talk b*****ks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City Exile Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 I have to say, the empty 'posh' seats were extremmly annoying. Must be some way to fix that surely - never seem to remember that at all at the old Wembley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to save to pay for my missus and mine, and it costs an arm and a leg to travel down to Bristol. and I have a mortgage to pay.We all got hard luck stories. Live with them. We all gotta make sacrifices. Next. how could you have afforded the ticket anyway. there was only about £2.00 on top of face value anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Man In Black Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 To help lordofthebling draw a line under this: Our ticket office could never cope with administering 37000 tickets in a week. Moving forward from this season with the proposed loyalty scheme these incidents will hopefully be a thing of the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This twaddle about it making it less of an atmosphere bugged me. you think your a better fan than those who are less vocal. I had a belly full of this arguement at Wembley today. That bugged me. and now your feeleing persecuted. don't post twaddle, and you wont get picked up on it. We are all fans, all have different ways, all different views. get used to it. end of sermon, arguement and bitching. each to his own, as it should be.

Agree totally. I could not get there and I am a regular at games. Not a season ticket holder but a fan that attends whenever finances allow. Yes, I agree with the loyalty group system but think that fans who attend regularly(this is easily checked on the club database) should be able to purchase tickets before they go on general. With a bit of luck, next year we will finish top and won't need to go through this again, but lets keep it in mind for any cup games. Great season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
