Absolutely fair enough to sell to ST holders first but I'm not one myself, so hope there may be a few left over. Seems a pity if we don't have enough allocation, given that there will likely be so many empty seats.

Thanks for that, nowhere has it been said ( that I can see) that's it's ticket collection from the club, so wasn't sure if mine had gone thru correctly as I'm in a dodgy Internet area.

I?m pretty sure when I was buying it said collection from club on the page.

Agreed, but the indications so far appear to me that tickets will be extremely challenging to get hold of this season.

Home games may well be virtually be sold out, plus any away tickets that become available (unless sold by the opposition directly) will be collection only, meaning for me a 75 mile round trip just to get hold of them plus time off work to meet the office opening hours.

It is great to see the support we have and the club on the up, but unless you hold a ST (I cannot get to enough home games to justify the outlay) or live locally to collect any paper tickets, it makes it very difficult to see what is fourth tier football, and disappointing when it is for the club you love.

That?s not really true though, I?ve known on more than one occasion the club to take down uncollected tickets to the away stadium to allow people to collect. It?s a bit of a faff attempting to find out where to go and who to collect from but I?m sure with some chasing during the week you?d suss it out.

Nobody you know up here that could collect for you?

Home games wont sell out on a regular basis unless we are flying and according to some on here we've all on staying up which will make tickets easy to get hold of! The club pretty much always take tickets for away games to be collected there, sure a chat with someone at the club could make some arrangement to assist you where possible.

I lived away for 10+ years and the club sent uncollected away tickets to the away ground all the time to pick up if needed.

I am surprised the club don't offer tracked postage for paper tickets at the correct fee when timescales allow.

That's really useful to know. I'll make some enquiries once I've managed to purchase the tickets.

[Search & Destroy]

We not sold out yet then?

[metallilad]

Are they putting a True blue coach on for it do we know?

True blue coaches will be available for all league and cup games 👍

I do find it strange they haven't announced how many tickets available. Apologies if I have missed it.

c. 1500 sold so far from danny webb yesterday.

Collecting from the ground, how quaint.

Get a blue plaque up for the digital strategy director.

Its the exact same issues and they don't fix them. How much is the Ticketmaster deal costing the club and we still cant sort simple stuff out.

What clubs with professional set ups rely on people picking up tickets for away games? Why is it stuff that isn't needed is prioritised over things that would make a real difference?

This is what happens when its the same people year after year making the same mistakes. People celebrate these barnacles because they've been at the club along time rather than what value they actually bring.

The Chief Exec was on the board when we were knocking on the door on the NLN, lets face it we'd probably be there still if the club didn't get lucky with some geezer purchasing a load of shares (that CFC has to pay intertest on).

It's amazing to me no one scan see that any success is despite the current incumbents not because of. The club isnt a charity anymore, time it realised its 2024.
