I'm not arguing on the comms. And you can choose to ignore it if you want, but on this thread the club have been accused of both: 1. Not taking the full 9,000 tickets from the off. 2. Not being very good at modelling and forecasting demand for tickets. Anyway, I've wasted enough time posting...

Oh, I absolutely wasn't accusing you of anything at all. All I did was scan through the first few pages of the thread to re-highlight how a lot of fans were suggesting demand wouldn't be great for this game given the fixture scheduling and transport conundrum, and how those signals would have...

I'm personally satisfied that is not the case. I don't expect anyone to take any notice of what I say however.

Agreed-ish. So if the communication said "If you all buy your tickets quickly when they go on sale, we'll be able to get some more", what would the "waiters" have done? If they want to eat cake with their mates, do they buy quickly to trigger more tickets becoming available, or do they wait...

I don't think they sold like hot cakes. They sold like quite warm cakes. And my reading, is that's part of the subsequent problem. If they'd sold like absolutely piping hot fresh-out-the-oven cakes, the Albion would have quickly jumped on the phone to Spurs, and would probably have been able to...

Yes they would! 1. When our initial allocation of 5,700 was announced there would have been loads of "Why have the club only taken 5,700 when we're entitled to 9,000? We'd easily take 9k to this one?!?" 2. When those 5,700 tickets sold out: "The club have got this horrendously wrong. Anyone...

Maybe not for you, but some are complaining about that - read back over the last few pages. The initial fan communication "up to 9,000" was, I understand, entirely accurate at the time - no-one was being deceived, intentionally or otherwise. 9,000 tickets were, potentially, available. We now...

Of course he doesn't - the club's senior team will come up with a concensus on things like this. Fan reaction to the scheduling of this was pretty negative. I'm happy to say I didn't think we'd sell out 9,000 for this. Maybe we would or maybe we wouldn't - there's no way of knowing now, but...

Yep - as I said above, I don't think Spurs have helped out here at all. They have STHs in those upper blocks that they'd have to relocate in order to sell to us (or any side taking the full 15%). They put those tickets on sale to those STHs which meant we couldn't take them.

I think there's a lot of after-timing going on here, as a scroll back to the opening pages reveals... (There's many more but I think you get the idea by now) Given the reaction on here, and elsewhere to the kick-off time/transport issue combination, I'm not surprised the club were...

Needs the broadcast fixtures/rearrangements to happen first. No reason why that can't be today though - they've had since Monday night to work on that.

Not sure any of that is correct.... - The "£30 away ticket" rule doesn't apply to the FA Cup, that is for Premier League matches only. - A single price has always been charged (for tickets of the same category anyway), and the compeition rules do not detail anything about two-tier pricing...
