You really haven't thought this through have you ? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheReds Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 @Logical-City I'd like to know how you being a season ticket holder, has somehow made it to make you (and only you) have zero chance of getting a ticket for Birmingham away? You then mention they should go on general sale? Why should anyone who hasn't been all season be able to snap one up in front of a more loyal supporter who has gone to more games? The tickets weren't sold out in seconds, it wasn't some superstar concert. If you cannot get online for a few minutes to easily secure your away ticket, then how can you manage to travel from Weston to queue up for hours? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many of them do you think wanted to go to a nice trip to Bournemouth? There would have been loads of people who didn't get Bournemouth tickets who wanted them, unsure why you seem to think it's some sort of conspiracy against you. Whenever me or a friend book away tickets you have to be organised to a degree. Are you actually having a go at people for organising themselves to get tickets, on the basis you cannot organise yourself? If we go away there are usually 4 of us, so of course you want to get 4 tickets together. Or do you expect families and/or friends to be split up in the ground?

Sir Geoff Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 Spoiler There were more than 100 tickets available and the problem was with Worldpay not BCFC or people buying loads of tickets. Also of course it was a popular awayday being a good weekender at the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately sometimes demand will outstrip supply. Fact of life. There will have been times when queuing up in person results in someone closing the queue before you get your chance.

OneTeamInBristol Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 59 minutes ago, Logical-City said: Yes have you tried buying tickets online or does someone do this for you ? Priority is not first for season cards its based on away game attendance then a season card Following that what is left is mopped up in around 20minutes where systems will crash people will buy 20 in one go and chances of getting one are less than a lottery win This is for again popular fixtures If I wanted to go to this game I would login during the season ticket priority period and buy one myself. As others did. But this game didn't sell out until well into general sale. So you waited for all 3 sales periods and still missed out on a ticket. The rest of your post you are talking absolute bo**ocks. Wrong about the priority, wrong about the amount of tickets ST holders can buy. You missed out on a ticket for a game that didn't sell out until well into general sale, that's no one else's fault other than yours. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially before general sale? I know there are exceptions like FGR in the cup etc with smaller allocations but most of the time they certainly don't sell out within the hour. Not particularly rare. Despite a largely poor season on the road last year we sold out Bournemouth, West Brom, Cardiff, Swansea, Coventry, Fulham and I’m pretty sure Reading? Not sure about QPR? Close to sell out if not. I think that maybe the reason this one has sold out so quick is due the the fact that, so far this season, it’s BY FAR the closest away game we’ve had/will have.

Sir Geoff Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 There will (hopefully) be far more sell outs towards the end of the season if we are still in with a shout of the play offs. It wouldn't surprise me if the club then introduce a points system based on Season card holders with the most points getting priority. I can't remember the details but Logical-City may be correct that Bournemouth last year was on a points system. I suspect Season card holders would have had next priority though. The club did actually announce a points based system at some time last season or the season before but not sure if it was ever implemented.
