For the 2nd time this season there were no tickets available on the West Stand turnstiles so I didn't get a ticket stub. I hope my £23 ended up in the Clubs bank account and not in someones back pocket. If we go on a cup run and need ticket stubs where will they come from?
I was going to mention this yesterday. I have a ST but a mate went through with me. He paid, was told there where no tickets and to sit where he could. He said twice he moved away because people with ST's turned up. He ended up stood about until 5 mins had gone then found a seat. It was proper conference stuff going on. Thinking about it someone was sat in my seat too yesterday, they moved to the next row down when I came, and then was moved again when they turned up. Very poor.
This is something I am seriously worried about. I have been quite a few times this season and haven't been given a ticket. Almost every match I am certain that the attendance announced is considerably lower than what is actually there, by quite a few thousand!
I don't think someone is pocketing the money, but did you get charged full price? I have been charged around half price before because they didn't have a ticket to give me. That can't be good for the club can it?
I'm told often that they usually miss a lot from attendance. Sometimes you look at an sway stand which holds nearly 6500 over half full, and where told around 1700 are there. They don't pocket money, just don't have tickets. Too many times I get to my seat and someone is sat there, then ask a steward where they can sit.
