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.
Bang on the money. I was in the same boat (1140 points). Got onto the site soon as they became available for ST holders and got it sorted. Always managed in the past the same way. Get in quick and you get tickets. Fanny around and wait and you miss out and end up moaning on here like a little girl.
Why?
Middlesborough is the LAST GAME of the season.
Even if people WERE waiting to see our Fulham and QPR results before deciding to go, why should that be frowned upon? It's not like Boro is 1 hour away. It's losing a whole day to go and watch and A LOT of travel.
Maybe I'm a "bad fan" but I wouldn't pay £36+travel+food for the day to travel to the north (maybe 10 hours of total travelling) to watch a game where the result literally didn't matter for us.....and knowing I will see my team again this season in the playoffs. I wish I had the disposable income and time to, but I don't.
I made time knowing that this game now looked pivotal and I had been paid. Unfortunately missed out which is always a risk. Not quite sure why judgement on other people's situations needs to be made.
Keep the abuse coming, I'm still a little confused as to why I'm taking the blame for you not being able to get a ticket.
I've simply pointed out that every single season ticket holder has had an opportunity since March 31st to buy a ticket for this game if they wished to do so.
Personal circumstances change, granted and for those people I genuinley feel sorry for, but I can't have any sympathy for those that have waited till this late stage to try and buy a ticket and then moan when the last 500 sell out in minutes.
I think Barber needs to explain how people were boasting of buying their tickets before the advertised selling time
Not many coming on here saying they got tickets this morning and not been put on ticket news that it has sold out.
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
5 minutes before the off today or when they came on sale originally?
If it makes you feel better one of my best pals got in today and got a ticket which is handy as he organised our bus. How do I do laughey tears smiley face?
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?
Who gives a **** what you do you mug? PM me if your feeling brave otherwise turn it in coz you are boring
I haven't been able to get one either time despite having 1140 points. What is the point of a loyalty scheme if it isn't used. The jump was massive between the two barriers last time 1250 down to 1050 and this time it was ST holders only, both times it came down to the speed of your internet connection nothing more. Seems they have no problem selling me a ticket for Brum midweek or Forest but the big game is a bloody free for all...
