I know I must be sounding like a right bore......with Paul Barber reply

[Stat Brother]

Has anyone been turned down for specific tickets, 2 months in advance? (genuine question)


I was using that very eclectic example as HB's original restaurant is probably one of the hardest things to obtain tickets for, and yet at the right time with a bit of luck you can still stroll in to a table with one hours notice.

As for your other points, then we're just back in the territory NSC is in complete agreement on.

Which just goes to show how wrong it is!!

I didn't have the heart to ask if it was the same glitch for Leicester and others.

Thought the Capacity was 30,750?

I don't even believe it is as much as that at present. My understanding, is that is what we are allowed, should we put in all of the seats.

I don't see room for any more seats. Apart from a dozen or so in the back row of the centre WSU?

30750 sounds about right. We had 30k v wolves last year, so with about half a block either side of away fans for segregation, that would account for the 750 unsold.

The announced attendance at the match was 30,003 but they revised it to under 30k later

If you had read it you would have seen it announced half way through the thread that some tickets had been released for sale this evening.

If only our lives allowed us such luxury!!!

What's the official response to all the criticism aimed at this aspect of the ticketing policy ?

"FFP"

& my 8 year old goes free & 13 year old only £5, A nice gesture by the club me thinks. Now for a win please.

I don't believe that is how it works, certainly not x amount of days before the event.

Tickets always become available for everything right up until the event starts.

The easiest way into Heston Wotsits restaurant, that has a 3 month waiting list and is booked out within minutes of the lines opening for the following quarter, is to ring at 11:30 the day you want to go.

Because tickets/seats always become available, a call to the ticket office (of course assuming they are saying 'try again on Wednesday') would sort that out.

Once again lets not forget the tickets for this game did go on sale IN SEPTEMBER.

I've read through all of this thread and you're spectacularly missing the point that pretty much everyone else is trying to explain to you over and over again!

You are clearly battle hardened in the art of getting tickets for events, I'd say most of us on NSC probably are so we are all irrelevant in this argument because the balance of probability says we've already have tickets or are STH or would check again closer to the match.

This thread is all about the casual fan, you might not want to believe it but most people in that bracket will see a sign saying "tickets unavailable" and assume that to be the truth and not check again. I'm not bothered about them personally, I'm bothered about the club losing business and potential new fans. Their problem you might say, but if there's 500 people doing it every game then it quickly becomes the club's problem.

You have just perfectly put into words what I have been trying to say for the past 30 hours.

Very good post sir

Spot on, If it wasn't for nsc & this post I would be spending my money this weekend watching a non league game, as sold out does mean to me sold out. Unfortuatly I would be a season ticket holder but with my job I have to work most Saturdays, Thanks to everyone here concerned & have a great xmas.

There's a huge difference between missing a point, spectacularly or otherwise, and arguing against the point.

We all seem to be pretty much in agreement that the ticketing system is wrong.
It's not a 'glitch'.
As KC said 'it's been like this all season', and obviously will continue so.

My only argument on this thread is directed at the 'hundreds' of people not being proactive about the "tickets unavailable" sign.
(the fact that obviously it shouldn't be there in the first place gets us all back to agreement again)

I doubt the numbers involved and the perceived half-hearted attempt at ticket buying, that is all.

If we all agreed this board wouldn't exist.
I'm quite happy to be paddling against the stream, on this one.
But I did not miss any points, I just don't agree with one aspect of the whole debate.

Fortunately it seems to be coming to a close now anyway.
So till the next time the 'glitch' appears (Leeds 25.01.14), it's been emotional.

Leeds should be a cracker.

Now they could bring 3000. Think first time they will have visited on a Saturday and they are going well

It will be moved from the Saturday if either us or Leeds win our 3rd round FA Cup ties.
