Just possibly the system needs a little human intervention in times of stress. With the likelihood of it being very stressed out at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, it may have seemed wise for a human to be there at the time.
Not really, if the game is sold out your wish to sit with your mates is potentially stopping others doing the same. I'd rather sit by myself that split a family of season ticket holders up.
In the case that we do get more tickets, it will be interesting to know how the online system handles "pending further tickets...."
The postal system with all it's faults does give an indication of how many more could possibly be asked for.
Looks highly unlikely I'll be getting a ticket.
