So around say 3500 season ticket holders (South and West Stand) can purchase as many tickets has they want some obviously for friends and family who have never darkened the doors of theb2net, before us East stand bods even get a sniff.
I would imagine due to the mass buying policy that most people who want tickets for the mid priced areas will have contacts in those 2 areas to snap up the tickets before they go on sale to East Stand ticket holders..this is effectively putting East stand ticket holders at THE BOTTOM of the list..it stinks..Whats the chances of concesionary tickets being left on the third day!!
I thought all season ticket holders where equal BUT in the words of ORWELL some are more equal than others!!!

have you checked with the club that they are not using blocks of tickets for each section or found another way to complain about selling tickets. The club want to avoid congestion and the problems they have had previously selling tickets i.e Gillingham last season but still they get stick damned if you do damned if you dont. If all the season ticket holders turned up at once congestion???

Its not so much the order its the bulk buying thats the problem. With season ticket holders etc buying as many as they want, there will be hundreds, if not a few thousand non ticket holders, and never attended b2net folk, who will have their ticket in hand before us East Stand folk have even had a chance to buy.

Like all stadiums there isn't a limit on concessionary tickets, I trust you mean the limited (1,494) cheap £26/£13 seats

Are we sure the club even had a choice with the ticketing policy and its not the Football League dictating it. The fact that the club have to give details to the league for purchases of 10 or more etc suggests we've been told how to sell the tickets to an extent.

However as per usual whatever the club did was going to leave some groups room for a whine on here. Personally i would have thought that a limit of 4 per season ticket holder was more than adequate with exemption for affiliated groups like FA registered junior clubs etc to buy groups of tickets but i'm not sure the club had the power to say how they are to be sold in a similar way to the England game we staged when the club got no end of stick for adhereing to FA policy on ticket sales for the game.

I'm also slightly annoyed as was thinking of Club Wembley tickets which will have all gone by Thursday I imagine. I don't have any contacts in the other stands so will have to wait and see whats left.

[JonB]

One other thing that may need to be made clear....i'm assuming folk dont just have their one day to get their tickets so if a West Stand person doesnt make it on Tuesday they can go down on Wed or Thurs to get theirs?

I very much doubt all season ticket holders in each stand will be able to get down on their specific day for different reasons so lets not jump to the conclusion that on Tues every South Stand season ticket holder will be down their buying tickets galore!!

hoping the day doesnt matter either as dont get paid til friday

thank you - so another question - says they are limiting the number of tickets available for on-line sales. Nybody on here know why? So does this mean the majority of us have to trudge down to B2NET maybe in the Pi**sing rain etc, queue for god knows how long (oh and manage a job at the same time)? Can we ring the ticket office up and order them?

I'm a south stand ST holder, so it doesn't effect me, though I very nearly made myself a STH in the East stand, but couldn't get far enough back so opted for the south instead.
I too would be p! $$ @d off if I'm frank! ALL STH's should be equal and all the perks of being a STH should be the same as whats to point of becoming a STH? You can't have one rule for one set and another for another; Madness

4th in line really founder members and advertizers can buy tickets this week

[Billy Bob]

how the hell have they come up with this priority order anyway?? i could understand it being west, east and then south, as this is in order of what we've paid for our tickets. but cannot for the life of me understand how theyve worked this one out. I think like everyone says, its the no limit on tickets thats the problem, if they said each ST holder could buy 3 or 4 then I wouldnt be bothered, but like someone else says, if all 3000 STs in south and west buy 10 (or even more !!!) then what do we get leftw with in the east stand !!

angry email to club coming up i reckon !!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.....................

queue management is behind the decision to sell stand by stand. Unless somebody is wanting 200-300 tickets in a block together I can't see why folks are getting wound up about this, the game won't be a sell out
