The crux of it is that the club shouldn't be putting tickets on sale before the advertised time. Everything else is beside the point.

Do **** off mate I was on there 5mins before the off. For whatever reason some people seem to be able to get through and some didn't but it wasn't because I was slow on the uptake...and yeah I am pissed off

Tend to agree. We've bought tickets immediately after getting back from Brum but if the game is meaningless, probably won't go.
Not many coming on here saying they got tickets this morning and not been put on ticket news that it has sold out.

Stupid IDIOT
I think Barber needs to explain how people were boasting of buying their tickets before the advertised selling time
You made a point of stating that those unable to get a ticket did not deserve to be there. That's the point I am taking issue with. Do you wish to address that point directly?

I know several people who successfully bought ticket before 9am, and several who tried unsuccessully.

I think I've made my 'opinion' clear.
The very point of a discussion forum, a cross section of 'opinions'
Once again, every single season ticket holder has had an opportunity to purchase tickets for this game, those who's circumstances have changed I have genuine sympathy for, those that decided to leave it and make a decision nearer the time or off the back of the Fulham and QPR games I have little sympathy for and in my 'opinion' can't complain about being unable to get tickets at this late stage.
On that note I'm off to work.

For high profile ticket sales it's common practice to log on to the ticket page sometime prior to the actual on sale time in the hope of getting in straight away. For gigs that I know will sell quickly I always do this, and for Glastonbury I'll be on a good half hour before sale. Sometimes the tickets will come on a minute or too before and you get lucky. Truth is, there were only 500 tickets on sale they were never going to take more than a minute or two to go so this sadly means a lot of unhappy fans missing out.
At least it is likely to be on tv, with the possibility of a beamback too. I think the atmosphere in Brighton should be pretty special should we successfully get promotion on the day for those who were unable to get tickets to the match.

However the club do this some people will miss out and be pissed off, because it won't fit with their personal arrangements/circumstances. That's not the club's fault. There was always a risk in waiting until closer to the time (if you had enough points to get them earlier) that it would sell out - we haven't been to too many away matches but both had enough points (over 1050 I think) to get them in that wave so we went ahead as soon as we could - again personal circumstances permitted this and had no issues on that day. Have real sympathy for anyone that for whatever reason couldn't make an earlier decision but the opportunity was there - delaying the decision has stopped you getting a ticket. It's a big time/financial commitment for what could have been (and may still be) a bit of a dead rubber, particularly if we end up in the playoffs and the expense that will entail
Surprised some seem to have managed to get tickets today before 9am - would have thought, knowing the demand, someone would have made sure the system would have been timed to open at 9am so the electronic queue was fairly managed. No idea how this works (presumably in order of logging on) though.

I agree with this. I thought the whole point of the loyalty points scheme was exactly for games like this and yet they decided to go from a level of points with maybe 4,000 in it to one with 23,000 in it. Surely true could have staggered it through the points system a little better than that?
That said I have my ticket anyway as bought when first came out which everyone had the chance to do.
