Dynamite Red Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 To me it sounds completely unmanageable if you already have a ticket for block E whether its seated or unreserved, but good luck with it. Dave L, on 06 May 2014 - 5:08 PM, said: Everyone will have been told at the point of sale whether you are in a strictly seated area, or the 'singing' section, and whether or not yours is a seat which is likely to be affected by the TV cameras. If you are still confused, let me know your row and seat number and I will be able to clarify exactly what the conditions are. That is certainly not my experience when phoning today and was led to believe the whole of E block was unreserved. No mention of strictly seated areas, or the 'singing' section. I simply asked to be in section E and payment was processed. So basically the information provided isn't quite correct e.g. E block is not completely unreserved and what I was told on the phone was also false information, plus I should have been informed that there are separate sections in the block. Not very clear at all. Anyway thanks for clearing up the confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timothy bird Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 When I rang this morning I was defiantly told that my ticket was in a area where standing was permuted and it was in effect unreserved seating ,( I deliberately asked these questions ) now D l seems to be saying totally the opposite to what I was told on the phone, that I am in a area where I must sit in the allocated seat and standing is strictly forbiden, good old City ! oh well could be worse, I doubt if their having these problems at the mem !

Have you had your email confirmation of your booking? If so it will say on there what the arrangement is. If it says something along the lines of 'Williams E left(or right) Singing' then it's as you first thought. If it specifically says Williams E left/right seated then id suggest calling the club in the morning to try and resolve it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timothy bird Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 I've already rang and asked to go on the waiting list for the singing area , but tbh if I have a bit of disruption it'll only be for a season and hopefully be worth it in the long run so I'm not to stressed about this, and no I've not had a email from the club, but I'm buying the ticket on finance so that's probably why.

WolfOfWestStreet Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 I got a friends to get tickets on Sunday. If I log on to my account online will it tell me what block I've purchased in as my friend got no receipt/ conformation. Fingers crossed they got the right tickets!

BUTOR Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 I booked a season ticket in E2. I wasn't given a receipt, nor have I recieved an email. I was just told I'd recieve a season ticket around June. I wasn't told if I had to sit or stand, but believed me, I spent that money buying in a shithole part of the ground so I could stand, if I wanted to sit I would go in the Dolman. I booked in E2 in the knowledge I could sing, stand and not be restricted. If this is not the case, I will be ejected because I will not sit down in an area that I brought in being led to believe I could stand. Pretty straight forward. I spend more than I can afford on season tickets, I really hope there's been no cock up here. I see others are struggling with this, and Harry has covered some other questions I'd like to ask, so a bit of confirmation would be nice. Cheers.

Guest Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Don't see the need to complicate things re sky cameras, if the cameras are in place then the seats are occupied, sit / stand somewhere else that is vacant.....simples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Don't see the need to complicate things re sky cameras, if the cameras are in place then the seats are occupied, sit / stand somewhere else that is vacant.....simples. its all reseved seating in the williams so that isn't possible hence the club relocating you, we only have a 15k capacity next season so most stands are going to be pretty full (didn't we avg 13k this season), so its not as easy as standing somwhere else that is vacant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sodburyred Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Only at football can you spend several hundred pounds on something and not get a receipt or acknowledgement for what you have bought!! This does really concern me. Ordered 4 E2 block at 10.15 Sunday on the finance option. Told its fine by staff but received no receipt, no confirmation, no seat number and no reference number. Just there word that its ok. Makes me uneasy already before reading all of this thread about restrictions? How hard is it to send a confirmation email?

We had someone renew on our behalf so don't have a clue what we actually ended up getting! Hopefully when the finance paperwork comes through there will be some sort of confirmation.

Admin phantom Posted May 7, 2014 Admin Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Out of interest, for those that have not received any confirmation email (or even those that did) If you log into your City ticketing profile is anything showing in there? I know in the past when I have bought away tickets for others, they show against my profile - also my ST showed up in there last summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me uneasy already before reading all of this thread about restrictions? How hard is it to send a confirmation email? If you are registered for on-line ticketing you will see your season ticket reservation there, and will also have had email confirmation. If you haven't registered then did you ask for a receipt? It's just something I make sure of doing before parting with cash. But then again, as you have taken the finance option (as I have) then you would not have parted with any cash yet. I have confirmation both on-line and by email, not sure why you haven't? No money has been committed yet because it won't be until I send the signed forms back. I think the process is very straight forward and the staff very helpful. Am I alone in this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
