Peterborough do a Don Rowing

For their game against Chelsea. Yesterday season ticket holders could buy 1 ticket each. Today those who went to Notts County replay could buy 4 tickets each! So now it's sold out due to 'unprecedented demand' and loads of part timers who went to Notts game get tickets whereas season ticket holders don't.

 

Oh dear!

"We underestimated demand" (for Anfield) will be inscribed on the Dons headstone.

Had to scrounge a ticket in the main stand for the Liverpool game - quite a few of us in there as well

 

It still winds me up now. I don't just blame Don though.

 

So they went on sale to ST holders first? I don't think it's a massive **** up, ST holders could have all bought a ticket if they'd wanted.

 

I think you must live in a bubble because your response bears no relationship to the real world we all live in and yes I am still smarting from the Liverpool fiasco.

 

They did, but many were bought for people that weren't regular home attenders.

I can remember someone saying that Ronnie Branson was "sorting him out with some". Whether it's true or not I dunno, but the person in question wasn't a regular at oakwell.

I know a couple of lads who went and neither go to Oakwell. One of them is a plastic ******* Man Utd fan.

 

My brother in law was in the away end that day, his 2nd ever reds game, sorry!

 

I paid £92 for a £28 Centenary Stand ticket from a tout website - and I'd been at Plymouth on the Tuesday with about 200 others! And we got butchered because we were down to ten men after five minutes or something!

'Unhappy' didn't cover the strength of my feelings!

 

I have more contempt for these tossbags than I do for the plastic Man Utd fans who went in the place of season ticket holders. People who buy tickets then sell them for a massive profit boil my pi55.

 

Yes but the error really was that if ST holders wanted any more: a) they wouldn't be sat with the ST holder's ticket; b) the chances were significantly reduced because they would be in a queue with people who just turned up for the Notts County game

 

It's not illegal to do so in Germany, but a lot of fans take it upon themselves to stop it happening. I've seen it first hand.

 

I don't mind: if I had the motivation to make money in that way myself, I'd not lose a wink of sleep over the mugs (like me!) who were paying over the odds. It doesn't upset me. It's just business. Here's something really scarce which you badly want. Cough up or you don't go.

I'd not have been able to go were it not for the website I found, so everyone won: the tout got a juicy mark-up and I got to see the thing I wanted to see the most. I'd absolutely do it again.

 

Maybe Viagogo is the website for you!

Although sometimes you do find genuine fans selling their tickets for face value on there.

 

I don't blame them. I find it wrong on every level.

 

I just find it wrong, the same with concerts. Tickets go on sale for fans to buy not for touts or opportunists who have no interest in the event but see fleecing genuine fans as fair game. Tickets are generally expensive enough without having to pay multiples of face value. I know efforts are being made to stop it but they don't go far enough in my opinion.

 

We had two lads sat behind us at Anfield who clearly didn't know who half of the players were.

When Foster scored we all went mad, and I can remember them looking at us like we had two heads. The whole away end had gone berserk apart from them.

Season ticket holders could get a ticket on the first day of sales so all the bread and butter fans of the club had a chance before the mad rush. Those that went to Notts County should have only been one ticket each that's the issue here. If a STH went to Notts County they should have been able to buy two tickets on the first day.
