MarcusX Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 72 users reading this topic They don't check for student cards, ive done it 4 times this season, they just hand you the envelope, if you leave it last minute to pick them up then with it being busy theyll just rush!Just lie your way through, its all a load of balls the way theyve done the tickets so it goes both ways!

LoyalRed Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 As at 9.34AM the only tickets left available are for Senior Citizens. Why did they split it up like that??!!! & how many children under 16 are going to be able to pay online with a credit card. Should have just priced everyone the same amount.Now as at 9.38AM, it says only Student tickets available. Must be a way of stopping people buying up tickets bulk.Hopefully it will switch back to 'Adult' in a minute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red man dan Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 I find the message "Sorry, currently sort out" a little curious. Are they holding back tickets so that all the early birds don't get them all?I'm clutching at straws but I've got nothing else to grab hold of. i guess the tickets they allocated for personal callers may not sell out, and the remaining tickets from that could go online.I was trying from 9.05 and by the time the page eventually came up, there were none left. Not happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcusX Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 don't refresh it, just close it and open it again from the city site, it works better.I don't care what they say at the gate saturday, if they try turning me away because of my ticket I am going to go crazy! I will pay the extra money because i don't care about that, i just wanted 2 tickets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusX Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Yes i tried phoning, lines busy, got cut off!It doesnt help the situation when everyones page seems to say different things.

LoyalRed Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 If by chance, you do manage to order a ticket online, does anyone have any idea if they send it to you, do you have to pick it up from the ground or just turn up on the day?

Jurssey Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Maybe they predicted this day! 4 Years of planning and still buggered it up!Seriously, I hope a lot of other clubs/fans etc don't see these ticketing arrangements.It's ###### embarrassing.We couldn't run a pi$$ up in a brewery when it comes to big games.We think big as fans, we have a team starting to deliver lately but our club staff wouldn't be out of place in the conference at times.

MarcusX Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Its a farce, only selling online or in person when its a bloody week day, most people are at work and it isnt helped when the online service is telling everyone different tickets are available!

red man dan Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Well i,m still trying occassionally being offered senior citezen tickets but being a student and having to travel from cheltenham aswell i cant afford the risk of not being allowed in. Surely a seat is a bloody seat and if you want it you can buy it? i don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red man dan Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Still selling student tickets as of 2 mins ago...Well that would be nice, but its just oldies on mine....i cant even be bothered to be annoyed anymore, its just too pathetic.At least the Brighton tickets have been frozen, how nice of the club, now i can go to that for less whilst billy big game only goes to the boro game....changed my mind, i,m still annoyed.

Dollymarie Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Hey but its all ok, as a reward for all our patience, you can get tonights tickets on the cheap, plus the programme from the original fixture (2 weeks ago) will only be 1 pound!!!! Yeah cos that makes the thousands theyve earned from us ringing/being on hold/getting cut off again all ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah cos that makes the thousands theyve earned from us ringing/being on hold/getting cut off again all ok.It does take the pee somewhat doesnt it? I was ringing for hours to try and get it that stupid que the other day for telephone tickets, and was hung up on everytime, as i was told everytime to hold for the next availiballe operator and then hung up on anyway, i may send the club my telephone bill, as i was given false information...it should have said 'please hold while Colin Sexstone makes some more cash, and No operator will deal with your call, we,ll then hang up on you and you can ring back again for a chance, a slight chance of joining the cue, thankyou for your money' not even a goodbye if i recall correctly.

snowy_RDFC Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Just got back from the gate. Was up at 5am, got in the queue at 6.15, 15th in line, fold up chair, flask of tea and test match special to get me through, posed for the journalists, and scored my 4 dolman tickets easy! :DJust been fiddling around with the online ticket shop. Ridiculous. Firstly all sold out, then available. Then just students, but can only buy 1. refresh. now only OAP tickets left. again can only buy 1. refresh. all sold out. refresh. students again available. again can only buy 1.absolutely crazy!! Why are there cerain allocations of tickets!?! Surely it's just a set number of tickets and then discounts if you qualify for them?! And heaven knows why the refresh button is the key to making more tickets available. I thought internet sales was a crazy idea. Firstly it disadvantages the people who turned up and queued in the freezing cold. And it's a system that is open to going wrong in so many ways! As the "refresh saga" has indeed proved. I thought phone sales would have been a far easier, and fairer system to operate.Still i've got my 4 tickets! With 2 more to come via the sponsors!! i usually moan at corporate allocations but when you know the right people it can work to your advanatge!
