    No, the person on the booking history can purchase 2

    I know the latter two are out of the Club's hand. I'm not blaming the Club for them, I'm just saying I think they're stupid rules. I still don't agree with 6 tickets.

    It could have eased the issue many are experiencing to have a 'bought at least one home ticket this season, get up to 4 (or 6) Wembley seats' day before gen sale. Miniscule risk of Weds fans getting them this way.

    I wonder whether Ticketmaster's ability to vet purchase history has been the issue? Being a passionate live music fan, they are increasingly the bane of my enjoyment and it stinks they hold this monopoly.

    I honestly think it will impact a lot of people considering the small time frame for those without a season ticket to try contacting season ticket holders and ask them to get tickets. There should have been one day for people with x amount of match tickets which would have solved all of this issue. Sheffield Wednesday, by necessity, have done this. We seemingly didn't want the hassle.

    Also thankyou for yet again taking your time to try to answer people's queries. I'm sure everyone appreciates it.cshame the club itself hasn't put the same effort in to doing so.

    Far too easily to leg people buy both at the same time in person, as we've done in the past many times. But no we make it more difficult and discriminate against those who don't use the Internet and aren't tech savvy. Customer service in general (not Barnsley FC) is going down the pan. All odder online, ring an automated number, don't speak to a human, press this number for this option etc.

    The majority of these conversations will have been happening all weekend. Nobody is sat not planning if they're wanting to group together.

    I live in hope. As always.

    Seems like we are more concerned about churning out numbers asap, so we don't get pressured into giving any to Weds than we are in ensuring our own fans who attend regularly, but aren't STH, get tickets.
    The club seem to have convinced themselves that we'll struggle to sell out so need to avoid that, so just get them out there.
    There are folk without connections to the town anymore all over the country who still go regularly and have brought their offspring up, who have no connection to the town, to follow the club despite ridicule from their Prem peers.
    "Oh everyone knows a STH" is a platitude designed to appease those that are alright Jack, rather than getting it right first time, which even without hindsight wasn't really that difficult.

    I don't think this is a line the club have used, and I've certainly not said that. I just suggested for some people they'll already have a plan in place as they'll know plenty of season ticket holders.

    What's your dilemma, how many tickets do you need, and what's your situation with buying them? I can try and help if possible.

    Are we actually saying that a family of 4 who don't have season tickets can't purchase 4 tickets? This is madness and surly a mistake.

    If you're having to choose which child to take and which misses out... that's a very valid worry

    I'm a s/t holder so I presume I can buy my own plus 5 others.
    As I'm on my own I don't have 5 other people to consider.
    Does it mean that 5 of you who maybe want to sit together could ask me to buy their 5 tickets, not necessarily to be with me but just as a ticket buying option?

    As yet there is no clarification wether each person in a network can buy 2 tickets. If I have 2 people in my network, can I buy 1 each for us? Me and 2 sons simply want to sit together which we have done on every other Wembley occasion.

    For the record, I was born and bred within a mile of Oakwell, never lived more than 20 mins away and have attended over 500 matches since the mid 90s.

    I don't have the phone number of a single BFC ST holder and I am a bloody well sociable person!!

    Let's not assume.

    Asking not telling, but is it correct? It's not about not being season ticket holders. It's about being in the database. If you're in the database you can buy two tickets - in the example shared above two of tha family of four might be in the database and have no problem.

    Period 2: General Sale

    Tickets on sale from 9am on Tuesday 23 May 2023.

    Individual supporters are allowed to purchase a maximum of 2 tickets. Only supporters on our database with a booking history will qualify for tickets during the General Sale period. Additional security checks will be required to ensure that there is no breakdown in segregation.

    Assume what though? Which part are you disagreeing with me on? That 'some people they'll already have a plan in place as they'll know plenty of season ticket holders'?

    Then you should be fine. Two of your four are in the system and can buy two tickets each.

    But it's more likely that only 1 will be, think about a family of four, whenever they've been to Oakwell the husband would probably be the one buying the tickets online for the family (which is the case in my family), so now that person can only get two tickets.

    Yes. That all match going fans have contact with STs.

    Unless folk offer on here I'd have no way of getting tickets through an ST.
