Bar BS3 Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Wembley sales are on a totally different number. If 0117 9630600 is engaged, then it will be with people buying Yeovil tickets mainly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are not going to sell online then at least announce it to let people know. Dave Lloyd phone no.constantly engaged as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted March 2, 2015 Admin Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Wembley sales shouldn't affect these sales - but you can guarantee there are people calling this number in error The online part is piss poor though ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running Man Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Booked my Yeovil ticket on line and collected it on Saturday. I tried on the phone a few times but kept getting cut off, online was easy peasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Wouldn't expect anything else! A reasonable chap then. Where demand is so high for an event there will always be difficulties getting through. What totally amazes me is the same people that moan about the difficulties in getting through are probably those exact same people who sit for a few hours in front of a screen or on the phones trying to get tickets to the latest music event or festival but when it comes down to getting a football ticket it is completely unreasonable to have difficulties getting through. Before anyone starts I appreciate the scale is vastly different yada yada yada. But equally as you have less demand you scale back on operators and operational costs. We are not going to have armies of people and servers just like you would for Glastonbury festival tickets, and notwithstanding that for said tickets people click refresh for hours on end because that's just how you have to try and get through the lottery. Football tickets, on occassions when demand outstrips supply, is just no different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it was listed, and still is on Ticketmaster. The Yeovil game is not even listed!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardy Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Just bought mine on the phone after about 50 redials. My understanding is they haven't switched the Online option on yet because of people queuing at Ashton Gate. They want to clear the physical queue first and then open online - if they sell out quickly it is much easier to deal with a moaning online community than real people face to face!

llewy's right boot Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Im on about the fact that they said tickets will be online at 10 and they haven't been able to do this,nothing about the demand.they quite often get things wrong.

There's hardly anyone down the club shop. The physical queue could be there all day, does that mean it'll never make online sales despite clearly saying they'd go online at 10am?
