These Birmingham tickets were on sale for DAYS - they even made it to GENERAL SALE. You have absolutely nobody to blame bar yourself for not getting one in the first place. I find the online ticket system a free for all limiting opportunities for some City fans to attend DESIRABLE away fixtures. That is the crux of my opinion and it won’t change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You decide to join the line at midnight and be first in line or chance it at 8am and hope there are tickets left when you get to the head of the queue. This way the queue is 30 seconds long and you can sit with a cup of coffee in the warm. (2 away tickets purchased before 10.10 am today). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the crux of my opinion and it won’t change Two options you apply online for a ticket in the necessary sales period, or you pick up the phone and purchase a ticket in the necessary sales period As you have already confirmed you missed the window you had to purchase tickets within. There is clearly no problem with the sales method for you in this instance, the sooner you recognise and accept that the better for you buying tickets in the future You clearly have access to the internet, there is only one person at fault in this instance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would season ticket holders have to be balloted to see who can buy online and who has to drive, in some cases, hundreds of miles to queue. You keep saying about who has the time at 10am in the morning. It takes less than a minute to log on choose a ticket and pay for it. Keep churning out the excuses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
