Tank_Owl2,0 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Must admit I’m still considering my options for travel, it’s good to have options. Whilst I’m sure the roadworks will be something of a pain in the arse I don’t think it’ll be too bad going it’s the coming back that could be difficult if the BH traffic hasn’t subsided. Re the number of tickets left, I’m sure I’ve read from the club and others that it’s not actually possible to know how many tickets are left unless you can access the whole stadium database, hence why the club have said they will aim to let supporters know how things are going. Although I don’t think there has been anything official from the club. If the Dingles have sold 15k and they are going to general sale tomorrow 1) it hard to see them selling more than 25k which 2) should mean more could be opened up for us if we’ve sold say 30k by tomorrow night Thursday lunchtime. I think most people will feel a little frustrated that they won’t be able to get seats in groups because the ones that are left are literally all over now and in small numbers, at least they were when I looked this morning.

I agree but some fans just don’t use the online ticket site and always queue at the ticket office. It is easy when you know how to use it and always assign owners of tickets etc What I don’t understand is it was harder in 2016 as you had to buy off ticket master so surely they can’t be that many newcomers. It’s easy to say when your own are in your possession and you find it easy I won’t have people slagging the club off or the system nowt wrong with it at all it’s just down to user error. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkowlthesexynewversion Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 The release of ticket blocks seems a bit haphazard. That season ticket holders on the first priority were not given the full stadium (our side) to choose from, or certain categories were sold out, but logging in at 4pm with a shiny new membership some folk get in Tier 2 near halfway. Don't know of course is if this is Wednesday doing this, Wembley controlling it. Probably some algorithm creating false demand to encourage ticket sales The idea that maybe 100 or so would upgrade to memberships might be nearer 2000 folk Money for the Club but the above looks like you are pissing on your most loyal supporters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That part of the process no complaints, the new memberships does sit uncomfortably because that option spread quickly around social media and has caused a bit of anxiety Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoylandOwl Posted May 23 Author Share Posted May 23 The only thing that's irked me, and irked, I'm not pissed off. Is this block release thing, when people are seeing tickets that weren't available earlier etc. I've seen posts this afternoon with stadium maps etc, and there are seats in sections that just weren't there when I got through at about 10am this morning. I'd liked to have had the choice. That's all. But, again, not all will be lucky enough to go for one reason or another. So if I'm sat 5 rows forward of the moon, then, well... It could be a lot worse. But I must say, the process for getting through, buying and getting the ticket was seamless. The system worked very very well in that respect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found I can enjoy from a distance this season, but the quid pro quo is I accept that a season ticket holder should be given priority and looked after.

We all agree them that she’ll out £700 plus quid a season ticket get the first choice. The membership is obviously a money making thing fair play to the club imo.

I presumed that it meant 2 year season ticket holders got priority over just 2022/23 ones It may also be practicality that there is a capacity on the server and they wanted to smooth it out to stop an outage I remember it being easier in the early 90s when you simply had the voucher system and there would be no tech to track your purchases - but that favoured those living close by. My point here is that the system as set out seemed totally fair, my criticism is simply the ability to queue jump. And it caused angst for some I don't think it's wrong to express that view 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting if the Club address that.

Andyben Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 But everyone can queue jump by buying a season ticket for 2023/4 or a membership. There's no restrictions on it so what's the biggie I'd be looking at Club tickets if we go as it was a way of guaranteeing we get there but if we can get a membership instead then ace, tickets for us and an extra 100 quid to SWFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm with you on both points Winco, but the 1000/1050 or whatever it is, is a barrier to entry. There's been times when I've wanted to go away this season but just can't get anywhere near. And while I get it, it just left me thinking, how the hell am I ever going to be able to get anywhere near if the points system rolls over every 2 years.

HappyOwl Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 I have to confess that last time against Hull at 6.30am on the morning of the first sales memberships were still available and I quickly snapped up two one for my missis and one for my daughter.

By buying tickets for every cup game even if you don’t go I suppose. Points harvesting as andyben calls it. it’s only 260 for a season ticket. Could take years to get to that level. a mate has over 850 points and couldn’t get I think Shrewsbury away tickets. So obviously a fair amount have a stunning amount of points be interesting to find out just how many have got over 1000.
